    Ahead of the Chinese President Hu Jintao’s visit to Japan this week, reports noted that the Japanese government had deployed some 6,600 police officers to ensure security of the Chinese President due to the risks of protests from the Japanese right-wing groups over a recent food-poisoning incident in Japan and due to the ongoing Tibetan crisis2.
