As long as they are non-violent let them protest all they want. Even calling for someone to be fired for being rational is part of free speech. It is when people move into threatening violence that they cross the line and this is what the media should be stressing. Nimrod makes a good point about free speech.

I wonder just how long it's going to take, though, before some online campaign gets going calling for the obviously rational Mr. Wu Jianmin to be sacked for being 'unpatriotic.'

Flag-waving Chinese student demonstrators, angry crowds, and boycotts of supermarkets are silly and useless, but why is it any worse than what protestors AGAINST China are doing? Oh, so when they do it, it's an exercise of free speech and a hallmark of civilized society. Give me a break. Exactly.

Boycott Carrefour will not help to solve anything. They don't even get the message delivered since there's hardly any foreigners (in ratio of Chinese). Gathering and chanting to... whom? air? Do something more sensible. Do something more creative. Channel your passion into something positive. =D Rational patriotism is needed here. Boycott Carrefour will not help to solve anything.

And it doesn't fit with the mean of Mr Jianmin. Guess there is an error in the translation :

WHy not just boycott rubbish over prices LV bags? and all those other ridiculous over pricesd french made fashion labels, cosmetics, etc. Carrefour buys of its products from Chinese made producers anyway. But of course in the end why would those who can afford to buy those over priced bags and rubbish willing to give up such luxury. boycotting carrefour is ridiculous.
