Man detained for leading parade in Japanese uniform

A man who led a parade of people dressed in imperial Japanese military uniforms around a bus station in Lianyungang, Jiangsu province, was put in criminal detention on Monday, local police said.

The police said the group of over 10 people was from a local film and television company, parading on Sunday to promote a comedy sponsored by the company.

Ganyu district, where the parade took place, is a revolutionary base area where many Chinese lost their lives during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45).
