Up to 2,000 retired soldiers of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) have staged protests in Beijing, a police officer and a foreign Web site said yesterday, just days after large-scale anti-Japanese street rallies nationwide.
The PLA protest, at the west gate of the General Political Department of the PLA, was apparently over the army's poor retirement and social security benefits, a police officer at the Changqiao police station told reporters.
"There were a lot of people out there," the policeman said, declining to give his name. "They are not there now, but this morning there were still some people but they were taken away."
