Basically there are widespread protests in China over the disputed Diaoyu Islands. This has to quite an intense situation and hatred toward Japanese and anything japanese in China. Not sure how heated the situation is. I hope it gets resolved through talks but it could escalate into possible military action and cause strong negative relations between the two countries. Just wanted to bring this to the attention of people. 

Japanese car dealerships, food places and any of the products were destroyed by rioters. 

 Demonstrators hurled eggs, rocks and bottles at Japan's embassy in Beijing

Here is a video footage or riots in a BBC article. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-19620700

 

 The disputed islands.    Rioters over- turned many japanese branded cars. 

These are some glimpses of what's happened. Let's  see how the situation develops and hopefully resolves.
