Japanese Uprisng

The Japanese Uprising takes place in SY 134 during the Battle of Earth as part of the Solar War. Old Earth families of Japanese descent in the People's Republic launch an unexpected surprise campaign against the PR's heavy industry at the behest of the Army of Eastern Kamijing. Wu Kenshu, warlord of the AEK, had maintained close communication and ties with his extended family on Earth. They were able to disseminate Protectorate propaganda and gain sympathy for the spacer cause. 
During the uprising, millions of Japanese took to the streets demanding a cessation of hostilities towards spacers. Ultimately the demonstrations resulted in armed clashes with CONPOL forces. Many similar demonstrations took place throughout the rest of the PR. As the Battle of Earth intensified, CONPOL crackdown became much harsher and detained anyone with spacer sympathies as threats to the Consortium.
