At least some of the rioters are not completely insane after all.

Sounds like a Chinese version of the infamous British hooligans, just it's not football as a pretext, but anti-Japan.

Paid to protest and now they get paid to go to jail for a bit.

Cheap labor is a great thing.

10,000 to go and none of them will be charged and punished.

Under the current criminal law of China, they will be excused crime under a "love of Country".

“Ignorant. Utterly ignorant. This is not patriotism, this is an ignorant and brutal act. It’s illegal, and the criminal should be brought to justice,” said one Weibo poster."

A good statement about this poor guy, but let's hope some Chinese citizens also voiced their disagreement with anti-Japanese violence.

There was huge public sympathy for 51-year-old Li Jianli, a Chinese citizen said by domestic media to have been left partially paralysed after being brutally attacked by a mob for driving a Japanese-made car.

Chinese should be ashamed of this kind of VIOLENCE!!! Now this poor Chinese 51 year old has been left partially PARALYZED for?? Making the grave error of driving around in a TOYOTA?? Or some other JAPANESE car?? These idiot fools are no better than all of these fools killng others over that stupid video made by an idiot Egyptian out in California. IMHO

“I really don’t understand why Chinese are always bullying Chinese. Is this patriotism?” said another.

Nope.. Had they have crippled a Japanese, then yes, you can call that "patriotism"... The frustration that this did not happened is so painfully obvious.

Nobody ask you to setup consulates and embassies in China. If you don't like them, close up shop and leave China.

Its obvious the Chinese people and gov't don't like you. And most of you people don't like them. So get the hell out of China and kick those Chinese out of Japan and call it a day. You can't have a good business relation with all this hate. This ain't the mafia in the roaring 20s.

Wait... What did you say again? Yeah, your economy has been significantly dependent on China for the past decade. So you don't like them but you want them to be nice to you and buy your products. And on top of that you want them to sell rare-earth metals to you, something that they treasure. Really? I think your expectations are a bit unrealistic. If ya'll think like that, I got a bridge to sell you.

Seriously, what planet do you people live in?

If you are talking about the planet, then you are talking about the global market. And yes, on the global stage, you are expected to be able to handle yourself with a bit more decorum than that of a spoiled child. China is every bit as dependent on the rest of the world as the world is on her. No one is required to like anyone else to do business with them. And whether Japan wants China to sell their rare-earth metals to them is secondary to wanting China to be a bit more stable and consistent with its economic behaviour.

The global market doesn't care about your feelings. It cares about your actions. If you say you are going to sell, then sell. If you say you are not, then don't. Keep the bluffs out of it; your words will be taken seriously and action will be based on them, regardless of what you really intended.

That is the planet we live on. It is much bigger, much more pragmatic, and much, much, more mature, than the tiny slice of life you believe to be the world.

...the way I look at it, the spitting on the ground...urinating on their own streets...whether you're rich or poor--good manners and decorum doesn't cost anything. The Chinese government can assert their wealth, their rich can come and buy all the luxury goods up worldwide (now) for the moment...but I have a feeling things are going to come down. Gravity is hell of effective. Look at all the natural disasters in Japan. If something like it happened in Taipei or Shanghai, you'd think all those subhumans would line-up, single-file and calmly help each other?!?! (laughs)
