Beijing student hauled to court for threatening bookstore with bomb

A student in Beijing has been prosecuted for threatening a bookstore in Xidan with a self-made bomb and a note that said:

这是警告：限你公司一个半月内撤销所有中国动画产品只销售日本动画产品，否则我将炸地铁八通线。
This is a warning. I am giving your company six weeks to remove all your Chinese animation products and only sell Japanese animation products. Otherwise, I am going to bomb up the Subway #8 Line.

Apparently, the student had always been very withdrawn growing up as a child. Because he had no friends, he would always turn to Japanese cartoons. Psychologists have found him to be suffering from schizophrenia.

When the judge asked him why he did this, the student said:

中国的动画市场存在制作厂商不求上进的问题。我想让国外优秀之作水平的动画进入我国市场。我希望这件事情被媒体采访使文化歧视现象引起社会重视。
Producers in the Chinese animation are all substandard. I would like foreign animation products of exceptional quality to be available in the Chinese market. I did this with the hope that the media would report on it, and bring cultural discrimination to the attention of the public.

Investigators later found that the student's self-made bomb made from Erguotou (二锅头) wine would not explode, but the scare did cause the bookstore to call for an emergency evacuation.
