The protests appear to be well organized, with the coordination of donations, banners, flags, T-shirts…etc. While it is of course impossible to tell how widespread the demonstrations will be, an online keyword search, using Chinese, did produce several hundred hits.

One link Heike provides emphasizes that the protesters are furious and are promising demonstrating will flood Europe with a sea of red flags:

Now, we know why the USA is afraid to demonstrate. China would foreclose on them.

Racist Jack Cafferty [CNN] denounces the Chinese race.

To those responsible at America's Cable News Network:

At 6pm EST on the evening of April 9, your network's anchorperson Jack Cafferty, made racist remarks on the program The Situation Room that insulted and shocked the entirety of the Chinese people. He said, "(the Chinese) they're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years."

The Chinese people of the world fully understand that your country has always upheld the principle of free speech, and respect Jack Cafferty's political stance, but as a public persona and a news professional, what Jack Cafferty said has gone way beyond the line of freedom of speech, and [we] believe that any respectable Chinese person cannot accept this kind of invective towards the entire Chinese race.

Comments:
If Jack was in a Repug hobo village roasting a rat on a skewer for dinner, we could understand his bitterness. As a self-styled news professional, he could have outlined the shortcomings of his race as well.

I hold a modest sum in dollars to pay for my burial. Racists like Jack encourage the Chinese to unload dollars, so I may be buried in paupers’ field.
