protests in China against Japan: a view from Qum

A reader sent me this:
"I've been a reader of your blog for a very long time. I'm a student of Islamic studies in an Islamic Seminary in Qum, Iran. Nonetheless, I've taken much insight from your words and benefited greatly from your analysis.
I find it inconsistent that the protests in the Muslim world against the film are given a huge priority in mainstream media. Whereas, similar protests are taking place in China with an anti-Japan sentiment but that is given very limited coverage. Check out some of the pictures of the anti-Japan protest and you see that Japanese businesses and factories are being attacked."
