Are they trying to catch up with Chicago?
WTH? Where’s the outrage from moms against package bombs and nannie bloomers? Not the mention margabby kelly-giffords sock puppet show.

I hope the injured recover quickly, and no one else dies, and they catch the perps ASAP. Not a minor operation to do something like this.
Something is happening in China. What is anyone’s guess, and you can’t rely on the Chinese press for info, it’s run by the government. They won’t admit they are having problems.
Terrorists? Civil unrest? I’d be more likely to believe the latter after all the protests earlier this year. The Chinese people are rising up against the government, this may be an offshoot of that, but China will never admit it to the world.
If it is civil unrest, then hats’ off to Chinese Threepers.
They’ve got the stones to do what none here will.
This is part of the golden triangle, south east asia. More than likely its the opium drug dealers in their war against the Chinese government.
I think if it was something like ISIS or Boko Harum they would be saying so in their news releases. By not admitting to the source, or saying they don’t know, makes me think it’s internal.
Look at the targets...not typical terrorist targets, businesses and warehouses, chemical plants, now a medical related spot...no reports of suicide bombers, but I’ll have to dig around for previous articles, I don’t remember if this is all in the same area.
I’m not sure just why, this gives me the feeling it’s civil unrest. and the state run press won’t tell you everything...
Pei Ping!
I wonder if the Chinese gov’t will try to understand the terrorists and let them go or will they turn them into Chop Suey.
“On the afternoon of Sept. 30, at least 13 explosions occurred within two hours at various locations cross Liucheng county in the Chinese province of Guangxi. Chinese reports suggest that parcel bombs exploded at the sites, although the extent of the damage shown in some images points to either the use of larger explosives or secondary damage caused by natural gas tanks or other material already on site. Some of the damage may also be the result of “fuel air explosions,” where perpetrators fill an apartment with natural gas and ignite it.
At least six people have already been reported dead and dozens more have been injured, though judging from the photos and videos, the final death toll will be far larger. The explosions took place at various government and public sites, including a hospital, a prison and a market. According to initial reports, the attack was likely conducted by a single individual seeking revenge on society because of a “medical dispute.””

Apparently, a suspect named “Wei” has been apprehended, so this may not be a RoP-related attack.
First, it was chemical company explosions and now public buildings. China is letting this spiral out of control.
