Police guarded streets, parks and other potential protest hotspots in Shanghai and Beijing Sunday morning to head off any further anti-Japan protests after three weeks of demonstrations last month led to vandalism and a diplomatic rift between Tokyo and Beijing.
In Beijing, about 200 police officers stood guard at the Hailong Building, a starting point for the April 9 protests that drew upward of 10,000 people and culminated in vandalism to Japanese diplomatic property plus three Japanese-style restaurants. About 1,000 Shanghai police officers weathered a downpour to guard the Japanese Consulate.
