Japanese Porn Stars Sora Aoi 苍井空 Caught Between Sino-Japanese Males Tension

By Bertel Schmitt on September 15, 2012

Anti-Japanese demonstrations grew ugly in China over the weekend, and it were cars that took the brunt. Chinese took to the streets after Tokyo said it would nationalize the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands. The uninhabited rocks are administered by Japan but claimed by China.  Tens of thousands protested this weekend – and vented their rage on cars.
One  of the first victims was a Honda CR-V, oddly owned by the police in the southern city of Shenzhen. Shenzhen’s finest were unable to protect their property.
As it becomes increasingly dangerous to own a Japanese car in China, people devise unorthodox ways to protect their cherished car.

In Chengdu, says the China-blog Ministry of Tofu, “a car owner taped a Chinese national flag onto the Toyota marque and blanketed the rear of the car with stickers that say “Boycott Japanese Products”, “Paralyze Japanese Economy” , “I Bought the Car First, Before Japan Got Bitchy. From Now On, Boycott Japanese Goods”. The picture of the car immediately went viral on Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like microblogging platform.”

Having the largest market share of Japanese cars in China, Nissan is most exposed. The owner  of this Nissan Teana sends out these statements.
In the left corner: “The Car Is A Japanese Car – The Heart Is A Chinese Heart”
In the right corner: “Diaoyu Islands Belong to China Only –  Sora Aoi belongs to the world.”
While we understand nationalistic fervor over islands, the last statement goes too far. Sora Aoi is a Japanese porn star, and she belongs to Japan.  Watch, but don’t touch.
