Japanophobia Strikes Shanghai: It’s Very Real

I plan to post quite a bit more on the continuing China-Japan row later this week, but I couldn’t resist passing along these remarkable pictures from a Chinese “BBS” list with pictures of the some recent anti-Japanese protests in Shanghai. Just keep scrolling down, even if you don’t read Chinese, you should easily get a sense of the rather intense nationalist atmosphere in China these days as might be seen in signs declaring FUCK YOU 狗日 (which I think means “Fuck You Japanese Dogs”).
