Violence works where peace failed for China villages

Ordinary people don't have any other way. It was only by not letting the workers in that we could stop the factory from producing," said the resident.

She gestures at the landscape where plants making everything from chemicals to zippers are encroaching on what was once some of China's most fertile farmland.

The blockade escalated into a full-scale riot involving as many as 30,000 people. Thousands of police had to be called in from neighboring towns to put it down.

Yet, after years of fruitless petitioning, the riot worked.

The chemical factories have been shut down.

Violence solves all problems. If it doesn't solve one, you're just not using enough.

It only solves problems temporarily. Eventually, somebody always comes looking for payback. Even if the violence solved the original problem, now you have created a new one. Terrorism anyone? Violence breeds violence.

Give it time. You need to think more long term. On a more immediate note, they have retaliated by crushing American made electronics with superiorly innovative products that they learned to make from. . .guess who?

The chinese government has a solid history of doing just that - to the tune of 10s of millions.
Those people were pretty gutsy to stand up to them like that. I'm suprised they survived frankly.

Maybe China is finally starting to realize that if it's to be a world economic superpower candidate to be taken seriously by the rest of the world, they need to put that kind of thing behind them. If they want the US and the rest of the world to keep buying their cheap, flimsy, mass produced junk, they better play nice and not piss us off.
