15 Feb -Our centre has learned that a massive riot broke out in Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province, over a traffic accident, resulting in bloody conflicts between public security officers and several thousand migrant workers who came from other parts of the country. The locality urgently mustered 1,000 armed policemen last night [ 14 February] to quell the incident, in which six police vehicles were smashed and 100 migrant workers were injured. At the moment, the Tongxiang City Public Security Bureau has arrested 20 migrant workers and verified the incident to inquirers.
Ping!

Another Boxer Rebellion.
Love to see it happen.
This sounds suspiciously like the behavior of Chinese muslims when confronted by mainstream Chinese. Perhaps the migrant workers have adopted the same tactics.
Aha! Should have read the earlier post first!

Thanks Tiger! The beginning of the end for Da Zhong Hua? Its one thing to look at this as a general riot. Another way of looking at it is workers from hinterland HeNan feeling that they are being ill-treated by their countrymen from the coast (ZheJiang).
“Once the Chinese people, in mass, decide that their freedom is worth a fight to the death.........the Chinese police and the Chinese military will not be able to stop them........”
What makes you think these people were fighting for freedom?
What makes you think that I was talking solely about "these people"?

The pot may be coming to a boil. It is certainly simmering.
