I want to know the answer to the following question:
What were a Japanese family who unveiled a Tibetan flag hit with?
All the background I'm provided with is that "A Japanese family with Malaysian citizenship and their 5-year-old child who unfurled a Tibetan flag were hit by a group of Chinese nationals with plastic air-filled batons and heckled by a crowd of Chinese citizens during the confrontation at Independence Square where the relay began, and the Chinese group shouted: "Taiwan and Tibet belong to China."". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
