Protests
against the Japanese purchase of the Senkaku / Diaoyu Islands took
place in various Chinese cities recently, including Beijing, Shenzhen,
Luoyang and Xi’an amongst others. Japanese branded products, including
numerous cars (and even a camera belonging to a protestor) were attacked
and destroyed by the angry crowds.
Panasonic and Toyota
as well as Nissan reported damage to commercial properties (a factory
and car dealerships respectively). Canon has also closed some
facilities whilst Japanese clothing chain Uniqlo chose to shut several
locations, and covered signs at others. Protestors have also targeted
Chinese owned Japanese branded products – images of which cannot be
encouraging for prospective customers. Meanwhile, some Chinese
protestors are calling for consumer boycotts of Japanese branded
products.
