protest - Government moves against demo

State-owned enterprises and other workunits in Shanghai have asked their workers not to join tomorrow's anti-Japanese protest in the city, say different sources affiliated with government units. Urgent meetings were called on Friday to convey this message.
"I share the anti-Japanese feelings," says an accountant of a state-owned real estate company, who tells about the meeting. "But our company has also many Japanese customers, that is more important."
The starting point of the meeting has also been shiften from the Bund or People's Square to Xujiahui, those sources said. The last minute change might cause additional uncertainty, that might have an influence on the number of people attending. The change was needed because of the length of the original route.
