Update: Anti-Japanese marches this week

Posted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Thursday, April 14, 2005 at 6:11 PM

Shenzhen
From Justin Mitchell: There is another (the third, I think, in as many weekends) anti-Japanese protest in Shenzhen on Sunday from 10am-3pm. No mention of tomatos or eggs, but a friend and translator who is going to help me cover it said she was told not to bring any Japanese electronic items, such as a camera, because "it will be destroyed."
 
Shanghai
According to Interfax, Saturday's march will not start from Xujiahui, but from the Bund area, ending at the Japanese consulate. They have a map and more information here.

Xiamen
On the blog SERIALDEVIANT.ORG(Y), Andrea See has published an email doing the rounds in Xiamen about a march starting on Sunday at 9am at Bailuzhou Park. However, the would-be marchers appear to have some geography problems, which you can read about on Andrea's blog here.

+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas.
+ Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet.
+ David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
