Chinese Students In Seoul, Beijing Hold Anti-Japan Protest Over Disputed Islands

Chinese students who study in South Korea, hold anti-Japan banner as they hold a press conference about the disputed islands called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China near the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012.

In this Tuesday Sept. 18, 2012 photo, anti-Japan protesters hold portraits of the late Communist leader Mao Zedong and wave Communist party and national flags while marching on the street outside the Japanese Embassy in Beijing, China. The face of dissatisfaction with China’s Communist Party is the face of the man synonymous with it: Mao Zedong. Portraits of the revolutionary leader, hoisted by people born after his death 36 years ago, often led packs of demonstrators in protests over Japan’s effort last week to bolster its hold on islands claimed by China. <AP/NEWSis>
