With Hondas set alight and Toyotas smashed at recent anti-Japan protests, one city in Hunan Province is taking a bold step to protect vehicles from destruction. Ding Daoqin reports on Weibo:
DiDaoqin: Cable from the Hunan Huaihua Municipal Party Committee: Japanese Cars Banned from Road September 17-19: The Huaihua Municipal Party Committee gives notice in the cable below that all brands of Japanese cars are barred from driving on the road from September 17 through 19. All units must park their cars in a safe location to guarantee protection! Those who do not take this warning seriously and who find themselves in an accident will have the party involved and the concerned leaders investigated for blame.
丁道勤:【湖南怀化市委发电:17日至19日禁止日系车辆上路行驶】湖南怀化市委办公室下发通知,9月17日至19日禁止日系车辆上路行驶,各单位要将车辆停放在安全的地方,确保车辆安全!不认真落实通知要求发生安全事故的,将追究当事人和有关领导的责任。
