Tokyo: Thousands of pro-Tibet supporters protested the arrival of Chinese President Hu Jintao in Tokyo on Tuesday.
It was the first state visit by a Chinese president in nearly a decade. Hu is expected to join talks about global warming, food safety and oil exploration in the East China Sea.
"Most Japanese people are angry with China," a protester said, declining to reveal his name. "But [Prime Minister Yasuo] Fukuda is not listening to our voices."
About 4,000 demonstrators marched in the streets; carrying flags and signs during a rally against China's government in Tokyo.
China's policies in Tibet, where Chinese authorities launched a raid that left Tibetan monks behind bars, have sparked worldwide protests.
