China protest Japan over the Senkaku Islands

The Senkaku Islands belonging to Japan are being claimed by China and Taiwan.  The Senkaku Islands (Senkaku-shoto, Senkaku-gunto, and Senkaku-retto) are known as the Diaoyu Islands by the Chinese (also: Diaoyudao or Diaoyutal Islands).  Also known as Tiaoyutai in Taiwan.  They are located in the East China Sea between China and Japan. 

Recently a fishing vessel from Hong Kong, China sailed to the islands and landed people on them.  They were arrested by the Japanese Coast Guard and subsequently sent back to China.  This incident resulted in Japanese citizens doing the same thing.  Also the Japanese Coast Guard intervened and sent them back to Japan. 

This caused massive demonstrations all across eastern China citizens protesting the Japanese.  The rioters smashed store windows they believe were Japanese related and turned over Japanese made vehicles.  All this while commie police looked on passively.  Huh? 

When equal demonstrations are held in Tibet by Tibetans (Buddhist) they are greeted with police bullets.  When the Uyghurs / Uighurs (Muslim) in East Turkistan / Xinjiang hold demonstrations they too are greeted with communist bullets.  Yet curiously enough the recent rioters / hooligans Han Chinese are not greeted with bullets, but with a passive police force.  Did not know commies knew what a passive police force was. 

When the Japanese patriots landed on their own islands that act provided the commies in Beijing a steam release of anger directed towards Japan rather than Beijing.  The commie gangsters allowed the demonstrations because it diverted attention from their illegitimate regime to China’s favorite villain: Japan.
