Some anti-Japanese demonstrations – which featured rioting, looting, and the destruction of Japanese businesses – mutated into anti-government protests. By allowing social tensions to mount to such a degree, the Chinese government may also be partly responsible for the recent rampage among thousands of workers at the Foxconn plant (where components for Apple iPods and iPads are made) in Taiyuan.
但民族主义的魔鬼一旦被释放就很难控制。有的反日游行——以扰乱、洗劫和毁坏日本企业为特征——最后演变成反政府示威。放任社会紧张到如此程度的中国政府对于最近在太原富士康（苹果iPod 和iPad的组装工厂）千人大斗殴事件中也要付一定的责任。
