Anniversary day was also marked by a noisy demonstration. Some 400 disgruntled citizens marched to Peking's city hall to protest against the police who had dismantled an outdoor exhibit of unofficial art. Said one of the banners carried aloft on Qian Men Street: "If you want political democracy, you must have democracy for art."

Jaap Marais, leader of the intransigent Reformed National Party denounced the proposals as "cowardly appeasement that can only lead to the white man's downfall and annihilation." Connie Mulder, former Minister of Information who was banished from the ruling party for his involvement in South Africa's recent influence-peddling scandal, defiantly announced the formation of a new opposition group, a pro-apartheid Action Front for National Priorities.
