Hundreds of people have protested in front of the Japanese embassy in Beijing, throwing objects at the building, amid growing tensions between Asia's two biggest economies over a group of disputed islands.

The long-running territorial dispute flared up last month after Japan detained a group of Chinese activists who had landed on the islands.
