Has anyone got, or seen, a photo that shows the banner that the protesters dressed in white playing drums and cymbals (as shown here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samgraham/70497922/)were marching behind? I'd be interested to know what it says. Someone said that it was anti-CCP...was it?

hi sam, it was me who left a comment on your flickr photo =)
in chinese, their slogan says "消滅中共" which means "eliminate the CCP"...
and here are examples of the banners i mentioned:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/70395658/in/set-1435670/
the white banner says:
中共不等於中國
中共等於反中國
which basically means:
CCP does not equal to China
CCP equals to anti-China

the flags say:
天滅中共
which means:
CCP be eliminated by "the sky" = God
but as i said, 99% of the marchers cried for universal suffrage, which was the original theme of the demonstration.

Thanks Ryanne.
I noticed the number of anti-CCP banners too. And the Taiwanese flags. I talked to some of the people holding the Taiwanese flags (they were a youth group (China Youth Service and Recreation Centre), and they were..well..not mild.
Your comment was interesting. I had thought that the anti-CCP signs weren't entirely helping the cause.
