Thousands of angry Chinese retaliating against the anti-China protests that upset the Olympic torch relay in Paris, demonstrated outside French chain, Carrefour in Wuhan and other cities over the weekend.
Cell phone and Internet text messages called for a boycott of the French company, which is also China’s largest foreign retailer. Xinhua quoted a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman as saying "the French side needs to ponder and reflect upon" the Chinese feelings. Similar store boycotts have taken place in other cities including Xi’an and Hefei.
