Japanese jazz musician Yoshio Suzuki and his band were in the midst of a sound check for some long-awaited performances in Beijing when the venue was visited by plain-clothes police. "After less than one minute, the venue owner came to me and said the police told him all concerts with Japanese people are canceled - and there is no discussion," said Christian Petersen-Clausen, a Norwegian concert promoter and documentary filmmaker who has lived in China for 13 years. About a dozen concerts with Japanese musicians in major Chinese cities have been abruptly cancelled this week as diplomatic tensions between Beijing and Tokyo escalate. |
