05/12/1999, Montreal - More than 200 Chinese people demonstrated today
outside the U.S. Consulate. They are in protest against the U.S.-led
NATO bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, which caused three
deaths and more than 20 injuries. Demonstrators marched four blocks
from the Sun Yat-sen Parc in Chinatown to the U.S. Consulate. They
chanted "Stop bombing," "Down with U.S. imperialism," "NATO go home,"
and "Canada come home." Among the demands were a formal apology, a
thourough investigation, and the punishment of the responsible(s).
National flags were waved, and national hymn was sung. There were also
singing of the Internationale, and waving of Sicle and Hammer. (Yuan

05/15/1999, Montreal - Some 400 Chinese people demonstrated today again
outside the U.S. Consulate, in protest against the NATO bombing of the
Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. Demonstrators marched through two main
streets in Chinatown, and four blocks on another main street,
Rene-Levesque, stopping the traffic during the march. Organizers and
representatives from community groups gave speeches in front of the
closed Consulate, denouncing NATO's irresponsible air attacks to
Yogoslovia, and the bombing of China's Embassy, in which three reporters
died, 20 others were injured. Speakers denounced Yogoslovian President
Milosevich's ethnic cleansing while pointing out that NATO's war against
Yogoslovia was illegal by international laws. They called for an
immediate stop of the bombing, which is causing more and more civilian
casualties. One speaker also pointed out that the bombing was directly
helping Milosevich gripping on power, that only political solution could
bring order and democracy back to Yogoslovia. (Yuan Liu)
