Such mixed signals have further inflamed nationalist sentiments in China, and anti-Japanese demonstrations have broken out in many Chinese cities, including an attack on the Japanese ambassador’s official vehicle. Both sides urgently need to cool off, especially in order to contain their extremist elements and prevent them from taking over the issue and setting the policy agenda.
而这些混杂的信号则进一步激发了中国的民族主义情绪，许多城市爆发了反日游行，连日本大使的专车都遭到了袭击。双方都急需冷静下来，尤其是要遏制各自内部的极端主义团体并防止这些人把持了该事件并设定其政治议程。
