People in Nagano couldn’t believe their eyes when they spotted this man and his invisible dog going for a walk around town.
In a refreshingly mellow demonstration held on 23 September in Lushan County, Henan 3 people donned Japanese style costumes and silently knelt in front of the Spring Temple Buddha.
Kneeling side by side the two men and one woman held up a banner reading “Daiyou Islands [Chinese name for Senkaku Islands] belong to China.” with a picture of one of the disputed islands and a ridiculously enormous Chinese flag flying above it.
And you know, in spite of all this I’m not entirely sure they are supporting China.
