BEIJING, Sept 15 (Reuters) – Hundreds of people protested in
front of the Japanese embassy in Beijing on Saturday, throwing
objects at the building as police struggled to keep control,
amid growing tensions between Asia’s two biggest economies over
a group of disputed islands.
On Tuesday, Japan brushed off stern warnings from China and
said it had bought the islands, called Senkaku in Japan and
Diaoyu in China, from a private Japanese owner.
