Justin Mitchell: Shops shut as thousands vent fury in Shenzhen

From The Standard:

If you happened to work for a Japanese-owned or related company in downtown Shenzhen Sunday, chances are you had the day off.

For the third Sunday in as many weeks, thousands of anti-Japanese protesters took to the streets of the city venting their outrage at what they perceive to be distortions and omissions in a Japanese history textbook, Japan’s attempts to gain a permanent seat on the United Nations’ Security Council, the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu islands and just about anything else Japanese connected that they could seize on.
