John Ruwitch and Masayuki KitanoÔºöNo Illegal Protests, China Tells Citizens

From Reuters, via Boston.com:

China warned its people on Friday against staging fresh protests when Japan’s foreign minister visits at the weekend, seeking to head off a repeat of last week’s violent anti-Japanese demonstrations.

Thousands took part in protests in at least four Chinese cities on Saturday and Sunday, and Internet chatrooms, emails and mobile phone messages have been urging people to join a new round of protests in cities across China this weekend.

Foreign missions, wary of possible violence after demonstrators threw rocks and eggs at Japanese diplomatic missions and attacked some Japanese businesses last week, cautioned their citizens about possible new protests.
