Some 50 Chinese students and businessmen gathered Sunday at the Japanese embassy in Vietnam protesting Japan's distortion of its aggression history and the country's bid for a permanent seat at the United Nations Security Council.

Chanting slogans, holding Chinese national flags and wearing red headbands, the demonstrators started the protest at around 10 o'clock in the morning.

"I love China," "boycott Japanese goods," and "unite all our Chinese", the angry demonstrators shouted, many of whom are young people at the age of 20s.

"We united only by ourselves to express our deep love to the home country," said one demonstrator, a female student from Hanoi National College.

"Our country is much more important than money," a businessmen told Xinhua.

"Japan should face up to the history," said another demonstrator, "We will protest it wherever we are, in China or in a foreign country."

The protesters signed their names on a banner before they disbanded over one hour later. The demonstration was conducted peacefully.

The Japanese Education Ministry on April 5 authorized a new edition of a middle school history textbook which seriously distorted the history. The revised history textbook has triggered widespread protests in China, South Korea and other Asian countries in recent weeks.
