Chinese authorities in Shanghai have expressed readiness to pay damages to Japanese restaurants that were attacked by Chinese demonstrators in a massive anti-Japan protest, the Japanese Consulate General said Monday, Kyodo News Service reported.
On Saturday in Shanghai, thousands of Chinese marched on the Japanese consulate, hurling bottles and other objects as they accused Japan of distorting its aggression against China before and during World War II and calling for a boycott of Japanese goods.
Protesters vandalized three Japanese-style restaurants before breaking at least nine windows at the consulate. They also broke the cash register at a Japanese “shabu-shabu” restaurant in Shanghai’s prime shopping district, Kyodo News said.
