After the recent Diaoyu\/Senkaku<\/a> geo-political drama, the term has seen a resurgence in popularity in China, where the anti-Japanese movement comes back in fashion every so often.<\/p>\n

More pics on Itai-News<\/a> and this Chinese blog<\/a>. More discussions on Slashdot JP<\/a>. There’s also a YouTube video compilation<\/a> of the images. I won’t be surprised if Oniko doujinshi start popping up in the Winter Comiket.<\/p>\n
