Backwards Chinese FlagBackwards Chinese FlagBackwards Chinese Flag

the flag probably looks fine from inside the restaurant
Last week there were loads of protests in China regarding the Diaoyu Islands and targeted Japanese brands. Not a good week to drive a Honda or Toyota. Many Japanese businesses have displayed the Chiense flag in fear of vanals. It reminds me of the 1992 LA riots when grocery store owners would post a sign reading "Black Owner."

One Sushi restaurant in Guangzhou posted the flag backwards. People walking by ignored the protest and found a backwards Chinese flag more interesting. The next week during another protest the flag was turned around and the word sushi was covered up.

Hope the protests end soon because the restaurant is actually pretty good.
