Quotable

"I don't want rioters to take advantage of protests by people showing their patriotism. What I'm doing is defending the Diaoyu Islands, but what they're doing is damaging other people's property."

Han Chongguang, a resident of Xi'an, Shaanxi province, said after he participated in a march against Japan's so-called purchase of the Diaoyu Islands. Han helped several owners of Japanese-brand cars who were beaten up by rioters on Sept 25.
