Sep 18, 2010 (BBC Monitoring via COMTEX) -- Beijing/hong Kong, Sept. 18 Kyodo -
Chinese activists and concerned citizens staged protests Saturday in Beijing,
Shanghai and other mainland cities over Japan's control of the disputed Senkaku
Islands in the East China Sea.

A similar demonstration was also held in Hong Kong to demand that Japan release
the captain of a Chinese fishing boat that collided with two Japanese patrol
boats on Sept. 7 off the islands, administered by Japan but claimed by China and
Taiwan.

Holding placards that say, "Wake up the Chinese people," "Never forget 9.18,"
and "Get the Japanese out of the Diaoyu Islands," several dozen protesters in
Beijing sang the Chinese national anthem and some trod on cloth painted with the
Japanese flag in front of the Japanese Embassy.

Overthrow small Japan," some protesters shouted in unison, using a derogatory
term for the country. "Japanese, get out (of the islands)," was among the other
slogans chanted by the protesters.

Saturday marked the 79th anniversary of the Japanese bombing of a railroad track
near Shenyang, the start of the Manchurian Incident that led to Japan's invasion
of northeastern China.

There were no injuries and no property was damaged in the demonstration, which
began around 9:18 a.m. and lasted for about half an hour, before Chinese police
ushered the protesters away from the street facing the embassy.

A second demonstration took place in front of the embassy for 15 minutes from
12:45 p.m., and a third one occurred around 2:30 p.m. for 30 minutes, but
neither of them involved violence either.
