This is really bad....
TOKYO: The newly appointed Japanese envoy to China died in a Tokyo hospital on Sunday, officials said, ruling out any link to growing anti-Japan protests in Chinese cities over an escalating territorial row.
Shinichi Nishimiya, who was officially appointed on Tuesday, was taken to hospital after falling ill on a street near his home in the capital's fashionable Shibuya district on Thursday, according to reports.
"Ambassador Shinichi Nishimiya died in a hospital", the foreign ministry said in a statement. The death had "nothing to do with any accident or anti-Japanese demonstrations" in China, a foreign ministry official told AFP.
Nishimiya, a career diplomat, was to replace Uichiro Niwa at a time Japan and China are at loggerheads over a disputed island chain in the East China Sea.
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside Japan's embassy in Beijing on Sunday, throwing water bottles and chanting anti-Japanese slogans, a day after angry demonstrators tried to storm the building.
Niwa raised hackles at home when he said a plan by Tokyo's nationalist governor to buy the islands could cause a crisis between China and Japan, jeopardising economic ties.
Japan insists there is no territorial dispute over islands it administers and calls Senkaku, but which China claims under the name Diaoyu.
Nishimiya had planned to leave for Beijing in October. The government is now considering a replacement from among retired foreign ministry officials, local reports said.

This is really bad...getting worse and worse....
Anti-Japan protests turn violent in China
Protests are continuing in at least 66 cities in China over Japan's nationalization of the Senkaku Islands. There are reports of violence in some areas.
In the southern city of Guangzhou, Guandong Province, thousands of demonstrators gathered on Sunday in front of a compound that houses the Japanese Consulate General.
Some of the protesters ignored police orders to stop and stormed into the hotel tower of the compound around noon. They broke windows on the first and second floors.
The crowd also smashed the windows of a Japanese-made vehicle that was passing through the area.
The demonstrators were forced by the police to leave the compound after occupying a site near the building's entrance. They waved Chinese flags and shouted slogans.
The Japanese Consulate General in the office tower of the compound was not damaged.
In Shenzhen, another city in Guandong Province, thousands of people marched in groups. Some of the demonstrators destroyed a police vehicle. Security forces fired tear gas to disperse the crowd.
In Beijing, about one thousand people held a rally in front of the Japanese Embassy. Some of them threw plastic bottles at the building.
More than 1,000 armed police have been mobilized along with several hundred regular officers.
In the inland city of Chengdu, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in the city center. Some of them clashed with the security forces.
A Japanese supermarket and a department store in the city are temporarily closed.
Protests were also held in Shanghai, the northeastern province of Liaoning and the southern province of Hainan.
The Japanese Embassy in China says it has not been informed that any Japanese nationals have been injured. But it is advising Japanese to exercise caution.
Sunday morning editions of Chinese newspapers carried reports on the anti-Japan demonstrations with photos but did not mention that some of them had turned violent.

karma at work!
it seems our por lumpar media seems to side with the japanese. these stupid cunts have no idea that japanese are very sly in nature, again the stupid cunts are all taken in by their so call polite appearance.
to me, the ones who provoke china are the japanese. heard from a friend in china that the situation is quite tense in some cities, the protests going on is like pre war times. but i doubt that, most chinese just don't care. and btw, the money the jap want to use to buy up the island is peanuts, china can do the same to buy maybe the whole of japan!
another thing, if china really want to go to war with japan, it's not war, it's invasion, noting japan only have their troops for defence purpose. if china really invade japan, USA and the European allies will step in to fight china. probably, japan and its allies, who are fearing the rise of china, will find this a good excuse to bring china down. see the trick setup by the japanese and knowing currently and future down the road, china is it's greatest threat. 2 cents of what i think of the situation, i may be wrong!

It is best that if he had to die to die now as it will be on his conscience of what is likely to unfold. Many are still unaware that the Japanese media especially the defacto state funded propaganda agency disguised as an international news broadcaster (with military grade surveillance equipment) have been tasked from the top and within to report fabricated news with ultranationalistic twists varying from subtle to blatant displays. The South China Sea, WWII and Diaoyu islands have been purposely politicized for decades and with the occurrence of Fukushima and the nuclear devastation of the country, the degree of fabrication and sabre-rattling in coordination with the propaganda driven media will increase. All atrocities will be denied as casualties of war which was unfortunate and juxatposed with the nuclear bombs, China will be vilified and all island claims are the rightful ownership of China and all those who report news which are bad about Japan are liars. This is happening and you can see the twists of all their reporting on all the above issues. Be careful when you deal with the Japanese media - they are spies on espionage and misinformation dissemination activities.
Hope the conflict does not escalate....Asians will be the losers...
The crazies inside the Japanese oligarchs do not care. A war will solve their debt and pension problems in their opinion.

The powers that be are very talented when it comes to 'offing' someone who knows too much and/or has a big mouth, and making his/her death seem like a suicide or accident. Dead people tell no tales.

Unlike Emperor Lee who claimed he's able to, this Jap envoy to China could not wake up in time.

No worries. Given the diplomatic skills of our FSOs, I am sure Singapore will play a critical role in solving this crisis. Trust Shanmugam to handle this even if he speaks no China or Japan. China and Japan need S'pore.
Our FSOs are one of the worst in the world. I have had dealings with them. Stupid does not even begin to define them.
BEIJING: Japanese firms including Panasonic suspended operations at plants in China, companies and reports said Monday, after mass anti-Tokyo protests at the weekend over disputed islands in the East China Sea.
Speaking in Tokyo, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta called for diplomatic efforts to resolve the worsening spat, a day after warning "misjudgement on one side or the other could result in violence, and could result in conflict".
China is Japan's biggest trading partner and the stoppages came as the ruling Communist Party's mouthpiece warned Japan's economy could suffer for up to 20 years if Beijing chose to impose sanctions over the territorial row.
Trade sanctions between Asia's two biggest economies could cast a pall over growth on the continent, which major Western countries are counting on to drive recovery from the global slowdown.
Panasonic said it was halting work at a factory in Qingdao in northeast China "for the time being" after a fire. The electronics giant had also reportedly temporarily suspended two other plants, but no immediate confirmation was available.
The camera and printer maker Canon, meanwhile, suspended three of its four main plants Monday and Tuesday to ensure the safety of its employees, a company spokesman told Dow Jones newswires.
Widespread anti-Japanese protests, some of them violent, have been held in recent days over a group of small islands known as Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan. They are claimed by both but controlled by Tokyo.
The row intensified last week when the Japanese government bought three of the islands, effectively nationalising them, and China responded by sending patrol ships into the waters around them.
China and Japan have close trade and business ties, with numerous Japanese companies investing in its larger neighbour and two-way trade totalling US$342.9 billion last year, according to Chinese figures.
But the two countries' political relationship is often tense due to the territorial dispute and Chinese resentment over past conflicts and atrocities.
A new wave of protests is expected Tuesday, the anniversary of the 1931 "Mukden incident" that led to Japan's invasion of Manchuria, which is commemorated every year in China.
A commentary in the People's Daily newspaper on the possibility of economic sanctions said: "Amidst a struggle that touches on territorial sovereignty, if Japan continues its provocations China will inevitably take on the fight."
The Japanese economy has already experienced two lost decades from the 1990s and was suffering further weakness in the aftermath of the world financial crisis and 2011 earthquake, it added.
Japan in 2010 lost its title as the world's second-biggest economy to China. "Japan's economy lacks immunity to Chinese economic measures," the state paper said -- although it added that given the interdependency of the two, sanctions would be a "double-edged sword" for China.
The commentary -- which only appeared in the paper's overseas edition -- said possible targets could include Japan's manufacturing and financial industries, exports and investments in China.
"Strategic material imports" could also be affected, it said, an apparent reference to rare earth metals used in many high-tech products including iPads and iPhones.
"Would Japan rather lose another 10 years and even be ready to fall back 20 years?" it asked.
Shares of Chinese companies with business ties to Japanese firms fell in trading in Shanghai as investors sold on worries that the territorial dispute could hurt demand for their products.
Guangzhou Automobile Group, which has manufacturing joint-ventures with Japan's Toyota and Honda, was down 7.13 percent in afternoon trading.
Dongfeng Automobile, controlled by a joint venture of Japan's Nissan, fell 2.44 percent.
