protest - A "mass exodus of Japanese companies and nationals"

Sylvia Yu

One of the more disturbing predictions concerning the ongoing anti-Japanese unrest come from the Beijing-based author and journalist Sylvia Yu (discovered thanks to t-Salon), currently writing a book on comfort women at CBC.

Unless diplomatic relations between China and Japan are smoothed over quickly, I do foresee an eventual mass exodus of Japanese companies and nationals. The Japanese already view China as a hostile place for them to live. Now, with millions of Chinese hitting the Japanese in their pocketbooks, where it counts, this could, in an ideal world, lead to some backtracking and serious review of the recently-approved textbooks. China really doesn't need Japan economy-wise, since numerous countries are lining up to invest. But Japan needs China more than ever to revitalize its sagging financial state.
