HONG KONG legislator Tsang Kin-shing is in New York to protest against Japan's bid to enter the United Nations Security Council.
He is joined by three local members of a private organisation seeking war reparations from Tokyo.
He will take part in other protests organised by Chinese dissidents in exile.
Although the protest is targeted at Japan's bid to become the sixth member of the Security Council, Mr Tsang said yesterday they were also demanding Japan paid reparations to Chinese war victims.
Mr Tsang, a member of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of the Patriotic Democratic Movement in China, and branded subversive by Beijing, has taken part in many local demonstrations against the mainland.
He said his protests put Japan's wartime atrocities against Chinese people in the international spotlight.
