Who's getting the worst damage from the CCP-support riots across China?
From New York Times,

BEIJING — Anti-Japanese demonstrators took to the streets again on Sunday in cities across China, with the government offering mixed signals on whether it would continue to tolerate the sometimes violent outbursts.

Protesters burned a replica of the Japanese flag at a protest in Wuhan, in central China, on Sunday.

The protests were orderly in Beijing, with several hundred people circling in front of the Japanese Embassy demanding Chinese control over a small island group known as Senkaku in Japan and as Diaoyu in China. Protests were also reported in other cities, including Shanghai, Guangzhou and Qingdao.

On Saturday, protests occurred in more than 50 cities, with some violence reported. A factory for the Panasonic Corporation was set on fire in Qingdao, and a Toyota dealership was looted, according to photographs posted on social media sites and local residents reached by telephone.

“Across China, calls have grown for boycotts of Japanese products. Many Japanese retailers and restaurants have been forced to place signs in their windows supporting China, and on Sunday, Japan’s prime minister, Yoshihiko Noda, asked China to protect Japanese and their property.

A signed editorial on the Web site of People’s Daily, the authoritative Communist Party newspaper, said the protests should be viewed sympathetically. While it did not defend the violence, the editorial said the protests were a symbol of the Chinese people’s patriotism.

“No one would doubt the pulses of patriotic fervor when the motherland is bullied,” the editorial said. “No one would fail to understand the compatriots’ hatred and fights when the country is provoked; because a people that has no guts and courage is doomed to be bullied, and a country that always hides low and bides its time will always come under attack.”

Some articles in the Chinese news media, however, said the protests should be “rational” and peaceful.

Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta is scheduled to visit Beijing on Monday, and some observers said the government might try to limit the protests.

Just before landing in Tokyo on Sunday, Mr. Panetta told correspondents aboard his jet that he was worried that territorial disputes in the Pacific raise “the possibility that a misjudgment on one side or the other could result in violence.”

Mr. Panetta said the United States was not taking sides in any of the region’s territorial disagreements, but advocated diplomacy to peacefully resolve them. One option, he said, would be for the feuding nations to follow a code of conduct advocated by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Both China and Japan claim the disputed islands, although Japan has controlled them for over a century. China increased its pressure on Japan after the Japanese government purchased the islands from private owners. Japan says the move was to prevent nationalists from using the islands, but China has seen it as a step to solidify Japanese control. In response, China dispatched surveillance ships to the waters near the islands.

China’s state-run news media has made repeated calls for the islands to be given to China, which claims that it controlled them before Japan’s colonial expansion in the late 19th century.

There was evidence on Sunday that some Chinese government officials were involved in the protests. In the western city of Xi’an, activists on the Internet identified one of the officials as the police chief.

The political analyst Li Weidong said the official tolerance fit a longstanding pattern of behavior in which the Chinese government uses mass protests to further its foreign policy goals. In a text message sent to friends and associates, Mr. Li compared the current protesters to the Boxers, a quasi-religious group that was used by the Qing dynasty to oppose foreign incursions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

“Beijing dares not to fight, but it’s unable to talk it over either,” Mr. Li wrote. “So it has to employ Boxers, using product boycott to press Japan.”
EDIT
Apart from ignorant BMWsupermaniac's rant which can be ignored, the rest of the answers are so true, amazing though when everyone in the outside FREE world is ridiculing the adverse effect of the riots on China and the Chinese people, CCP and her followers are acting the opposite.

The damages of shops, restaurants and cars are 99% owned and operated by Chinese people.

Relating the barbaric rioters to Qing's Boxers Rebellions are so true. Many ruthless Mainland Chinese after eating expensive meals in Japanese restaurants in the last couple of days, put down a Chinese flag and refused to pay. Only a law-less mafia state could tolerate such "Boxers".
EDIT
BMWsupermaniac, the more you rant, the more your brain malfunction got exposed, What's this question or even the whole crises got to do with America??? Is it so difficult to find good rationales to back up your debate on this particular question???

Well at the moment China is, I'm sure a lot of anti-Chinese supporters are laughing at the idea the Chinese are tearing up there own cities at the moment.

Today there will be lot of Chinese people without jobs and no income because of it because they have forced the factories to close.

Now the funny thing is these protests are starting to led into anti-government protests.

If someone turns to violence, to get others to see 'justice', then the audience is just going to be focused on the violence. It seems the chinese government is erasing the violent riot pictures but its a week too late. Even if chinas public doesnt see it, its already internationally posted across the web >.>

first of all, the new york times is hardly a reliable source. second, the ones losing out are the japanese. the ones who gain from all this are south koreans, europeans, and americans, because when the Chinese boycott the japanese, the Chinese will turn towards south korean, european, and american products. the longer the disputes go on, the better business will be for south korea, europe, and america
