Three reporters based in China and I am the guy posting this story on the use of beer revenues to support the questionable content in Japanese schoolbooks:
The news released by media report about Japan's new history textbook compilation committee, which is financially supported by Asahi Beer and other Japanese large enterprises, tampered with the history of Japanese troops' aggression against China. The news has aroused the concerns of the common people in Jilin Province in the past two days. Many readers have given phone calls to People's Daily, expressing their indignations against the practice of these enterprises. This reporter, Xu Depeng has learned from some supermarkets, and Japanese and South Korean restaurants in Changchun City of Jilin Province that affected by the news report, the sales volume of Asahi Beer began a downturn from yesterday.China is voting with its yuan...or renminbi.

What a fantastic and spammy non-sequitor. Would you care to elaborate?

Just visited the bottle cap website.
Hope breweries get involved, wouldn't mind collecting before brewers all turn to plastics.
