(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - September 16, 2012: Riot police fire tear gas at protesters outside the city headquarters of Communist Party of China during an anti-Japan protest in Shenzhen. More than 50 Chinese cities saw mass protests against Japan on Sunday, with police in the southern city of Shenzhen using tear gas and water cannons to dispel an angry mob.
The protests swept through China over the weekend, as large mobs demanded that Japan hand over control of a small island chain known as the Diaoyu in China and the Senkaku in Japan.
In Beijing, demonstrators pelted the Japanese embassy with eggs and rocks, in front of masses of paramilitary police.
In other cities, there were violent incidents, including the torching of a Panasonic factory and a Toyota dealership in Qingdao.
