A Chinese policeman emerges from a closed Japanese restaurant covered with Chinese national flags and banners saying "Protect my Diaoyu islands and I love China" as anti-Japanese protests continued outside the Japanese Embassy in Beijing over the Diaoyu islands issue, known as the Senkaku islands in Japanese, on September 17, 2012.
