Japan may post troops at Embassy in China

Japan’s foreign minister called on China to denounce violent anti-Japanese protests as Chinese nationalists prepared for a third weekend of demonstrations over Tokyo’s wartime aggression and its campaign for a UN Security Council seat.

Foreign Minister Nobutaka Machimura also said Japan was looking into tightening security for its diplomats, suggesting Tokyo might post soldiers at its embassies, which now rely on local police. Japan’s mission in Beijing was targeted by an angry crowd last week.
