In the afternoon of June 26, 2005, a large riot broke out in Chi-zhou, Anhui Province, China, in which about 10,000 people attacked a police substation and set fire on police vehicles.
However, crowds at the scene disagreed with the Chinese media report, and explained the situation as follows: "At 2 pm, Liu Liang, a middle school pupil was a riding a bicycle, and it happened to graze a car which the owner of Ren-he Clinic, a private hospital, is riding, resulting in a scratch. The argument from both sides ensued. Then, men riding with the clinic's owner, came out of the car and started to slash him (with their knives.) A passerby on a motor cycle saw this, got off, and tried to stop the fight, but was also swept into the melee. The owner was shouting from the side, "If you kill one of them, I will pay 300,000 yuan. The police came not long after the incident, but they did not handle it fairly, which provoke people's anger. The situation started to deteriorate, and angry citizens set fire on the clinic owner's car and a police car near the entrance of police substation. Two police vehicles were destroyed at the scene." However, Chi-zhou Daily, a local paper, reported on June 26th edition, 'A small number of lawbreakers incited innocent passersby to beat policemen, attack the police substation, destroy police vehicles, and loot the nearby supermarket." It was revealed that the Public Security Agency in Anhui Province brought in additional reinforcement of 700 policemen, arrested many citizens, and the middle school pupil, Liu Liang, is being treated at a hospital now. For now, Internet bulletin board in Chi-zhou City has been shut down, but on other Internet discussion forums, heated debates on this incident ensued. Chinese posters are asking, "Why are crowds always painted as law-breaking and being a mob?", or commenting, "It is not crowds but the government who do not know what is going on ," or "Tyranny creates a violent mob."

" Because Hillary's yuan in a million?"
Oh lord.
There are no fat people in China. Okay maybe one, but she has a thyroid condition and it is not her fault. Budda was the first sumo champ, the true story was just lost in history.
I'm trying to get ATKINS translated into Mandarin/Cantonese...I foresee an opportunity!
I had an interesting discussion a few weeks back with an Army Officer who is a China FAO (Foreign Area Officer). He's of the opinion that China may well face a disintegration along the lines of the USSR. They have many minority groups in far flung places who don't like being ruled from Peking.
In addition to minorities, there are also regional conflicts among Han-Chinese. They may also split into 2-3 regions.
LOL! A pox on your puns.
I guess you don't need to believe the pictures. I understand what you mean, but your concern is exagerated.

One could say that poverty is the key to good health if one equates thinness to health. On the other hand, a huge percentage of the Chinese population have respiratory ailments due to the pollution.
China has been like that for most of its history. Probabaly too big to govern without severe repression. Sounds like the old Yugoslavia to me.
I agree, they have been generally accurate, but most of the time they tend to sensationalize and exagerate their stories pretty intensely.
The pictures do help to corraborate the story and while I do believe it is true, I just find it odd that it hadn't been picked up anywhere else. (though reports are starting to surface from other sources)
Lags between the time something is in the Chinese or other asian media about China, such as this riot, are common, almost the rule.
This story is out in english today, but I've seen longer lags of 2 - 3 days since an article in Epoch Times, or Apple Daily or Sing Tao or the Sun etc...have published an article.
Sometimes the US media never publish the story, or don't mention it until a long time later in a feature article on a topic.
US media have no clue as to what's happening in China. They aren't allowed to and they don't want to make the Chicoms mad because they'll lose access they want to boring officials or even get kicked out of the country.
This event was too big for the ChiComs to hide and the MSM to ignore.
But you'll seldom get immediate attention from the MSM because, first and foremost, they would have no clue it even happened.
The anti-Japanese riots were interesting in how they were propigated so quickly and broadly. That's because they were orchestrated and they were meant to be disseminated by the Chicoms.
Sounds to me like the people are just waiting for anything that will allow them to riot. The thing that ought to worry the Chinese authorities is that the crowd appears to me more middle class.
Yeah, thousands.
If you've ever been to China, you will know that 50 people gather to watch a cop issue a ticket. Numbers multiply.
I'd be willing to bet that there were only a few hundred protestors and several thousand spectators.
Why?
I've seen it with my own eyes. I live here.
