On March 7, [[Koreans in China|Koreans in Manchuria]] learned of the movement. They held a large protest in [[Longjing, Jilin|Longjing]] on March 13.

{{Blockquote|text=I heard that a large crowd of people gathered from all over to hear the news. After the noon bell finished ringing, a large flag celebrating Korea's independence was unfurled. Everyone raised their own flags and shouted "long live Korean independence". The flag blocked the sun, and the shouting echoed like thunder. When the Japanese authorities saw this, their faces turned ashen.<ref name="WorldKorean Manchuria 7" />}}
Japanese authorities pressured the Chinese warlord [[Zhang Zuolin]] into suppressing the protest. This resulted in around 17 to 19 deaths.<ref name="EncyKorea Longjing"/><ref>{{Cite book |last=윤 |first=병석 |script-title=ko:북간도지역 한인 민족운동 |date=2008 |publisher=독립기념관 한국독립운동사연구소 |isbn=9788993026658 |pages=173 |language=ko}}</ref><ref name="EncyKorea Movement" /> Like in Korea, the Koreans continued to hold protests for weeks afterwards; by mid-May they would host at least 50 more.<ref name="WorldKorean Manchuria 7" />
