More civil unrest in China

[Bruce]

Riot over a car accident.

The crowd cheered and shouted at the sight of government vehicles burning. Several of the people there that evening said that the riot had become a battle against a system that encouraged local police to protect rich outsiders instead of sticking up for a local boy. A number of those present, interviewed at length, referred to the crowd as "the common people," a term frequently used in China to distinguish ordinary civilians from the rich or the powerful.

We're going to see more of this, I'm afraid.

Afraid? This is what China needs more of! For years, Chinese leadership has been telling us that Asians are different, they don't want or need freedoms, democracy, etc. Seems to me, they're no different than anyone else. China will find it can't have economic prosperity w/o people wanting to share in that prosperity, and that means more freedoms and an end to the political societal elite.

BTW, your link doesn't work so I may be all wrong about what happened.
