People would do well to remember this is the PRC. The Chi-coms. Nothing happens on Embassy Row without the official blessing of The Party.

Tienanmen Square's protest was, as far as you understand it, a CCP-endorsed party then?

People who have obviously spent no time in China would do well to remember that the Chinese will hate the Japanese long after the communist dynasty is gone.

They're Chinese first, commies later. All the Party is doing is riding the wave. For the moment.

Speaking of people who spent no time in China, you do understand that Tienanmen Square and the front gates of the U.S. Embassy are not one and the same?

Sam, I agree with you and I think it goes all the way back to the “Rape of Nanking” in the late 1930s. Maybe even further than that. They’ve never forgotten it.
