Beijing Protestors Turn Hostile Against Foreigners
BEIJING, May. 09, 1999 -- (Agence France Presse) As more than 1,000 protestors regrouped in front of the US embassy here late Saturday to protest the NATO bombing of the Chinese mission in Belgrade, sentiment towards foreigners turned hostile.
An AFP photographer covering the event was attacked three times by demonstrators who had to be restrained by military police.
One of the protestors tried to set on fire an American embassy car that had been parked in front of the mission.
Fellow protestors tried unsuccessfully to overturn the car.
Some chipped off bits of the road to take aim at the embassy.
Each hit was greeted with a round of applause.
"Hit the (US) flag, hit the flag!" they shouted.
The demonstrators were believed to be heading towards the home of James Sasser, the US ambassador.
Police sent in reinforcements, bringing the total number deployed to some 1,000 unarmed officers.
But they were largely ignored by the crowd.
"Who do you represent? China or the US?" one protester was heard saying as they argued with police.
Student protests earlier Saturday had ceased for a short while at dusk, but demonstrators -- from all walks of life this time -- soon reappeared.
"We heard there were protests against the US-led NATO bombing, so we came here to lend our support," said one man at the scene.
The overnight bombing of China's embassy in Belgrade by NATO forces left at least three dead and 20 injured, according to Chinese officials. ( (c) 1999 Agence France Presse)
