China fears riots will spread as boom goes sour

They surged into the grimy streets around the factory: first scores, then hundreds, then more than a thousand, as word spread and tension loaded the stale, grey air. The boldest overturned a police van and smashed up motorcycles, then tore through the building destroying computers and equipment. The mood was exhilarated, angry and frightened.

"It happened so quickly ... There were maybe 500 involved and another 1,000 watching them. People were yelling: 'It's good to smash'," said a witness.

But the riot late last year at the Kai Da factory in Dongguan, amid the grim industrial sprawl of the Pearl River Delta, was not an isolated incident. It was one of tens of thousands of protests, many erupting from the same mixture of economic grievances, resentment of police and swirling rumour....

It look like the ride going to be rough and longer than many economists has expected.

I hope that the market doesn't drop and other 1000-2000 points.

Hopefully we find out who planned these scams perpetrated against the whole world

From the article:

So far there is little sign of workers blaming the government for their woes. Most cite the global downturn; many have gripes with employers or local officials. Few seem to connect it to Beijing, let alone suggest that new leadership would improve matters.

How much freedom do the Chinese really have to express such things anyway?

Not only do you invoke Godwin's law, you think that oil profits will be up 50% when oil prices have tanked so much that Hugo Chavez is inviting US oil companies back in to Venezuela to drill.


Seriously kid, do some reading so you dont look so ignorant.

This is a positive believe it or not. usually China just starts wasting people that buck the system or challenges the party rule.. will be very interesting to follow this and see how far they let this democratic revolution go.

So did Bush and the Republicans manage to destroy the WORLDS economy? Or is this mess a little larger than the democrats would like us to believe.

Read the linked article- chinese workers aren't blaming the govt, but rather the world economy and their local managers and officials... So the govt backs off a little, lets the workers blow off a little steam, do what they can to compensate for income loss... maybe roll some mid-level heads, play the part of the good guy...

And, uhh, their govt won't have to borrow to stimulate their economy, either...

Sometimes I wonder, myself, if the whole mess wasn't intentional, but I'm more of a mind that it's an expression of mental defects at the top- they're the Kleptocracy, they steal because they can, not for any real reason other than the thrill of it... It's all a game that won't infringe on their personal lifestyles in the slightest...

Just wait till they announce how much they paid into federal coffers for 2008. In the media (articles/reports about) profit vs (articles/reports about) taxes will be presented to the public at a 33 to 1 margin.

I kinda wish bush was still in office, because America is gonna go through the same BS. It would have been fun to watch the people nail his sorry ass up on a cross....

Sadly, the blame will fall mostly on Obama but maybe they will march out to texas to get him? :p

Actually yes... Being the worlds economy is interconnected, and being the leader of the richest, most powerful economy on earth, and driving it into the dirt, pretty much puts the worlds economy squarely on Bush.

Worst president evar!...

the scary thing is, if a 3rd term were legal, Fear no Evil would vote for Bush/Cheney again.
