 TOKYO (AP) - Japan's prime minister Monday demanded China take responsibility for the safety of Japanese working in China and said it was "very regrettable" that protesters threw rocks at the Tokyo's embassy in Beijing and Japanese students were beaten up.
Demonstrations against Japan have spread across China after Tokyo last week approved a revised edition of a school history textbook critics say whitewashes Japan's brutal wartime colonization of Asian nations last century.
About 1,000 people threw rocks and broke windows at the Japanese Embassy in Beijing on Saturday, while two Japanese students were beaten with beer mugs and ashtrays at a Shanghai restaurant.
