Hu faces uphill battle to win over the minds of Japanese students

President Hu Jintao will face an uphill battle to win the hearts and minds of young Japanese, whose impression of the mainland has been soured by the recent unrest and police response in Tibet.

Student activists at prestigious Waseda University in Tokyo, where Mr Hu will give a speech on Thursday, have already vowed to protest against his visit and said they will voice concerns over the mainland's human rights record.
