日本再次反华游行 人数增倍 性质有变
围绕钓岛撞船事件，11月6日下午东京约有四千人走上街头，在银座和东京车站前等地游行并呼唤口号，抗议日本民主党政府应对不力及中国政府的强硬态度，还有参加者打出了“要求释放刘晓波”的口号。
据共同社报道，游行由“加油日本！全国行动委员会”（会长田母神俊雄）等组织。地方议员等参加了游行前的集会。针对互联网上公开的撞船事件现场录像，抗议者们愤怒地说：“明显是中国渔船进行了撞击。不能原谅试图隐瞒这些事实的民主党政权。”
集会后参加者举着日本国旗和“抗议中国侵略钓鱼岛”、“要求释放刘晓波”、“抗议日本政府外交软弱”等标语游行，游行队伍绵延约两公里。据悉，此次游行是由 “加油日本！全国行动委员会”等日本右翼组织发起。有一些地方议员参加了游行前的集会。
BBC称，日本右翼的示威过去因行动粗野遭到多数民众的嫌弃，但田母神俊雄在2月份成立的“加油日本！全国行动委员会”却展示了迄今为止右翼组织不曾有的冷静、说服力和组织性。他们以批评中国政府的某些政策和日本政府的外交软弱唤起了社会相当一部分人的共鸣，使得参与人数骤增。
“加油日本！全国行动委员会”10月以来每个周末都轮番在日本各城市举办反华示威。此次，该右翼团体的反华集会主题除了有“民主党政权胆怯谴责中国！”、“阻止中国侵略尖阁诸岛！”等与钓岛之争有关的话题，还提出日本人和亚洲人站起来“跨出守卫亚洲自由与和平的第一步！”、“释放诺贝尔和平奖获奖人刘晓波！”、“阻止中国侵略台湾！”、“还西藏人自由与人权！”、“还维吾尔族人自由与人权！”、“还中国人自由与人权！”等与中国时政和社会相关的话题。
这显示示威性质已从反华更趋鲜明地向反对中国政府某些政策的方向推移。值得注意的是，由于参与主办周六集会的还有“日本李登辉之友会”和“台湾研究论坛”两个组织，集会主题也有变，NHK（日本广播协会）周六没有称主办者是右翼组织，而称其为“几个抗议团体”。
Protesters chant slogans during an anti-China protest rally in central Tokyo
相关英文报道：Anti-China rally held in Japan after video leak of collision
TOKYO — About 4,000 anti-China protesters rallied in Tokyo on Saturday, with their anger fuelled by a video capturing a collision between Chinese and Japanese vessels which sparked a diplomatic spat.
Brandishing imperialist "Rising Sun" flags, the demonstrators gathered at an open air concert hall in the centre of the capital, a chorus of Japan's national anthem serving as an opening ceremony.
It was the latest in a series of demonstrations against Beijing's claim to a disputed island chain in the East China Sea, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. There have also been several anti-Japan rallies in China.
"Watching the video, I'm convinced that it was an act of terrorism," said Masumi Yokuni, a 30-year-old housewife wearing a traditional Japanese kimono.
"We have to take action against anyone who is trying to grab our territory," she said at the open air venue, where organisers repeatedly showed footage of the collision on a TV.
Participants then marched through the capital's business and shopping districts near the Imperial Palace, but there were no immediate reports of arrests or any major confusion, police said.
The video was leaked on YouTube on Friday. It had not been officially released to the public for fear it would worsen the spat.
Japanese authorities have confirmed that the leaked video footage is identical to what the Japan Coast Guard recorded during the incident, the evening edition of the Yomiuri Shimbun reported on Saturday.
In a bid to trace the source of the leak coastguard officials have begun to question the employees responsible for editing and storing the footage, Kyodo news agency reported.
The Japanese coastguard arrested the Chinese trawler captain in September for allegedly ramming two of patrol boats near the disputed island chain, sparking a barrage of protests from Beijing.
In Beijing, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman has again put the blame on Japan for the maritime incident, saying: "The so-called video cannot change the fact and cannot conceal the unlawfulness of the Japanese action."
The latest demonstration comes ahead of an expected visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao to Japan to attend this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, being held in Yokohama near Tokyo.
"We have to tell China ... what we have to say. Otherwise, we cannot maintain our relations of equals," Toshio Tamogami, former chief of staff of Japan's Air Self-Defense Force, told the rally.
"It's time to end the practice of attempting to avoid troubles and put them off," said Tamogami, now head of a conservative lobbying group.
The incident became a flashpoint because both sides claim the potentially resource-rich islets and the nearby seas, as their own, as does Taiwan.
The rally also called on Tibet, Taiwan and China's Uighur minority to form a united front with Japan against the Beijing government. one of the banners posted at the hall read: "Let's condemn China's military hegemony on Asia."
"Japan's sovereignty is in danger," said Yuriko Koike, former defence minister and senior member of the opposition Liberal Democratic Party. "We want to share a sense of crisis with all of you."
