This is exactly what Riddil is talking about.

snip~ anti-French protests took place over the weekend all over China outside Carrefour stores in Hefei, Qingdao, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Jinan and Kunming. Although these were mainly anti-French anti-Carrefour protests, they were described by People's Daily as "protests against Tibetan independence".
~snip~
Another more recent story relates to Jin Jing, our Paralympian heroine who had bravely defended the Olympic torch from some pro-Tibetan protestor in Paris during the torch relay. ESWN tells of how she has become the greatest traitor of the Chinese nation literally overnight for merely suggesting that people should be careful about the Carrefour boycott, because the many Chinese employees of that company would be the first to suffer.
~snip~
The authorities are undoubtedly watching the newfound protest-organising powers of the people (remember the maglev protests?) with a very wary eye, because who knows when the tide will turn and who the people will be protesting against next?
This story is from Shanghai.
The Chinese people are offended by the french protests and feeling nationalistic as a result.
