Christopher Bodeen: Chinese nationalists turn to Internet

From AP, via WBZ-AM:

At the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, signs of Japanese wartime atrocities are everywhere. From gory photos to engraved stone tablets, the memorial tells visitors to remember that past and make sure Japan is held to account.

Now, the Internet is doing the same job only much faster.

In just weeks, organizers claim to have collected more than 24 million names on an Internet petition demanding that Japan be denied a permanent U.N. Security Council seat, a status that only Beijing and four other governments now hold. The petition says Tokyo has failed to apologize for wartime aggression against China.
