Beijing police ban anti-Japan holiday protests

From The Reuters:

Beijing’s chief of police has warned residents against staging “illegal” anti-Japanese protests during the week-long Labour Day holiday that starts on May 1, domestic media reported on Saturday.

Ma Zhenchuan, director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, denied Internet rumours that police had approved at least one demonstration in China’s capital during the holiday, the Xinhua news agency said.

“The police will resolutely punish lawbreakers who organise and instigate illegal demonstrations and those who attempt to take the chance to loot or rob,” Ma was quoted as saying.
