Only one source indicated protests by Chinese students in Tokyo over the meeting between the Japanese and Chinese foreign ministers on 9 August 1989 [ "Chinese Students Protest Ministerial Meeting", Foreign Broadcast Information Service, 9 August 1989.]. UNHCR reports four major demonstrations in Tokyo between May and June 1989, but knows of none after the crackdown on student dissidents in Beijing at the beginning of June 1989 [ Letter from the Centre for Documentation on Refugees (CDR) of the UNHCR in Geneva, dated 6 October 1989. ].
