Several Japanese businesses have shut down their plants and stores in China this week in the wake of the widespread protests since the weekend.
自上週末廣泛的抗議之後，數家日本企業本週已關閉他們在中國的工廠與商舖。
Canon suspended operation at three of its four plants on Monday. Panasonic also followed the same course, shutting down three plants in Guangdong province after its plant in Qingdao was set on fire by anti-Japan protesters on Saturday.
佳能在週一暫停四家工廠中的三家營運。松下的青島工廠上週六在反日抗議中遭縱火之後，也跟進關閉了在廣東的三家工廠。
Japanese apparel retailer, Uniqlo, closes 19 outlets around the country on Tuesday. It had already closed seven stores on Monday.
日本服飾零售商Uniqlo，週二關閉了中國15家店，週一就已關閉了7家商舖。
In addition to the temporary operations shut down, the escalating tension over the Diaoyu, or Senkaku Islands also affected business plans. Japanese electronics maker Sharp Corp. had planned a large-scale celebration to commemorate its 100th anniversary on September 8th in Shanghai, but senior executives called a stop to those plans.
不只是暫時的關閉營運，釣魚台緊張上昇，也影響了企業計劃。日本電子製造商夏普，原已計劃在9月8日舉辦一項大規模慶祝，紀念在上海營運100週年，但資深主管對這些計畫都喊停。
The territorial dispute between China and Japan puts at risk billions of dollars in investments. It could also hurt trade ties, causing mutual disruption for Asia’s two largest economies.
中日間的領土爭議，將數十億元的投資置於風險之中。此事也會傷害貿易關係，造成亞洲兩大經濟體相互切斷關係。
