The incident reflected the growing nervousness of the police sensitive about the increasing petition issues and therefore they are exerting every measure to stop the petitioners from claiming their rights. [from quote in story].

From: http://www.truthaboutchina.com/

Another woman protestor beaten story "in recent days", in Tongan township, the same? Difficult to pin.

"There was one woman who was bleeding from the head after being beaten, and was lying on the ground," she said.

"I was beaten too, and I ran away"

Authorities imposed a news blackout on the incident, but microblogging services and bloggers were relaying it across the Internet during the weekend, with some posts being deleted soon after appearing online.

"This evening, at around 8 p.m., the crowds captured a town bus and drove it across the main road," wrote user maminbo7712 on Twitter.

Officials had used lies and violence to quell the protesting population, he wrote, and had hidden the fact that the project they were planning would call for more than 6,000 evictions.

All in all, residents estimated that local officials had skimmed off around 3.5 billion yuan (U.S. $516 million) in compensation funds, leaving residents out of pocket by around 30,000-40,000 yuan (U.S. $4,400-$5,900) per household, the Tongan blogger said

Having a hard time mustering any sympathy.
Her husband is part of the apparatus that’s done this to others.

Karma, and all that shit.

...

His comments allegedly provoked other visitors to the ward. “Does that mean the police are not supposed to beat leaders’ wives, but that the ordinary people can be battered?” one unnamed visitor said to the newspaper.

Under Chinese law, individuals who have suffered grievances or who have complaints are allowed to petition the government, either at local level or directly at the central government headquarters in Beijing.

"It was a mistake, a complete mistake. Our police officers never realised they were beating the wife of a senior leader," said the head of the district public security bureau...

... "Does that mean the police are not supposed to beat leaders' wives, but that the ordinary people can be battered?" one unnamed visitor said to the newspaper.


Coming soon to a Tea Party near you.

I saw this story as..wrong place wrong time or cover up of a wife protesting the "land grab", which her husband is a part of. That would be embarrassing to the official.

But the multi-national interests $$$$ is also important here. Let's face it China is getting what the US can't keep because of the cost to do business in America..and described land owners are being forced out for Multi-National business relocation.

Top notch MBS’a are flocking to China beause of opportunity.

China is no longer interested in our debt. They buy up just enough of our debt, ONLY to keep their investment worth anything. Luckily Japan is stepping up to buy our debt. Let’s see ... we’re at 13 trillion and counting ... .

I wonder if the Chicom thugs who administered the beating are now looking at the wrong side of a “re-education” camp?

That stunt will not look good on their resume’, I wouldn’t suppose.

Ditto. Even better, if that chicomm official is far enough up the foodchain, the thugs will die long painful deaths soon.

Monsters eating their own. Not a bad thing. Do have sympathy for the regular people there who are caught between the chicomm officials and their thugs, though.

Pretty sad....could have been your mother or grandmother. There's no excuse for anybody to be beating on a elderly woman. Period!

As far as the rest of your stupid post goes.....don't you think it's a matter of perspective? For example, ask somebody whose unemployment benefits have just run out what they think of having to live hand to mouth....day to day.
