Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda will tell China to ensure the safety of Japanese citizens after protests in Chinese cities over disputed islands, including at facilities of Panasonic Corp. and Toyota Motor Corp.
“I intend to strongly demand that the Chinese government ensure security” of Japanese citizens, Noda said today on public broadcaster NHK’s “Sunday Debate” program. “I strongly object” to the burning of Japanese flags and the protests.
