Hong Kong patriotic groups have staged anti-Japan demonstrations on the 81st anniversary of Japan's World War II surrender, gathering outside the Japanese consulate on August 15, 2026. Most of the protesters were elderly, raising Chinese flags and condemning Japan as "shameless" while displaying a doll of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi wearing underwear with a rising sun flag pattern.
The demonstrators, describing themselves as a group of voluntary Hong Kong citizens, denounced Japan's atrocities during the war, including looting, murder, and rape, and called for an end to Japanese militarism. Another demonstration was organized by the "Caring and Protecting Hong Kong Association," according to NowTV.
