I am in Xian in China right now, and there are major demonstrations here. Most city roads are blocked, and
the Chinese government has sent a cell phone message to all citizens of China who have a cell phone,
asking them to go home. There has been shooting right outside the hotel, and several cars of Japanese
origin, and stores with Japanese goods have been burned. Cars right outside the hotel have been burned
too, so the hotel staff are keeping guard outside the hotel.
I am a tough cookie, but right now I am a tad worried. In Norwegian newspapers there is nothing about this,
even though our guide said the riots were nation wide. Has this hit the news in the rest of the world?

Yup, I just overheard something about that in the news, and my mother came to me asking why the Chinese might be protesting against the Japanese, so I can confirm that bit, but I have no idea what the whole business is about. I'll try and stay tuned for the next report, due in like 6 hours.

They are protesting over some islands that the Japanese have claimed as theirs, and the Chinese evidently
feel that their government has been to weak. I have no idea who is "right", but it is extremely uncomfortable
to be caught up in the middle of it.

Yes, the whole island dispute has been in the news a lot the last few weeks.
Stay safe!

Hej Cristina! Hur var resan till Ryssland? Jag kan se att du har inte uppdaterat din log
för flera veckor sedan. Finns det några nyheter?
Team Sputnik needs you!
