BEIJING (Reuters) - Thousands of Chinese smashed windows and threw rocks at the Japanese embassy and ambassador\'s residence in Beijing on Saturday in protest against Japan\'s wartime past and its bid for a U.N. Security Council seat.
Protesters pushed their way through a paramilitary police cordon to the gates of the ambassador\'s residence, shouting ``Japanese pig come out\'\'
...
One group began throwing bottles and stones when they passed a Japanese restaurant, smashing windows with tiles they had ripped from its roof before police stopped them. A second restaurant was targeted later in the evening, with rocks thrown through the window, terrifying kimono-clad waitresses.
``We are all Chinese in here and were just minding our own business,\'\' one told Reuters after the attack.
Protesters also attacked a Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi branch and smashed windows before police moved in.
Another group outside the embassy in southeast Beijing threw stones and plastic water bottles smashing windows in the compound. Some demonstrators scuffled with police.

OFFICIAL PROTEST
The violence prompted an official protest in Tokyo. Japan\'s Kyodo news agency said the Chinese Foreign Ministry had expressed regret for the violence, quoting the Japanese Embassy.
``The fact that people took actions such as throwing rocks at the ambassador\'s residence as well as the embassy is not something that the Chinese government can accept,\'\' Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Qiao Zonghuai was quoted as saying.
``Representing the government, I offer my heartfelt sympathy and express my regret.\'\'
