China-Japan Rare Earth Fracas Continues OCTOBER 17, 2010
It’s also unclear whether China’s assertive stance represents a consensus among Chinese leaders, or whether certain
elements (like the PLA) are driving policy, while others (such as the Commerce and Foreign ministries) are merely along
for the ride. There has been some speculation that China’s upcoming leadership transition, in 2013, offers a prime
opportunity for the PLA to flex its political muscles.

In the meantime, yesterday (Saturday) saw some large anti-Japanese street protests in several Chinese cities.
According to the Associated Press, thousands of students marched in Xi’an, Chengdu, and Zhengzhou.
The accompanying photos from Xi’an were emailed to me, and give some sense of the size and vehemence of the
rallies (pardon the language, but it gets the point across clearly enough). Hong Kong’s Apple Daily puts the overall
number of participants at 50,000, and adds Hangzhou to the list.
It also reports that several students said the protests had been organized by official (state-sponsored) student
organizations at their universities. Although China’s Xinhua news agency issued a report in English, AP said the
protests had not been covered by the Chinese-language state media, and local police refused to acknowledge they had
taken place. Chinese authorites tend to be pretty cagey about mass protests, even on “safe” state-sanctioned issues,
using them to make a point, then sharply reining them in if they threaten to take on their own momentum.
So the question remains: precisely what game are China’s leaders playing at here, and how far are they willing to
take it?
