The police-inspectors hit the man with a hammer until he started to vomit blood, because he was trying to take pictures of their violence towards a woman, a street vendor. The man was rushed to hospital, but died on the way. Thousands of angry people took to the streets, surrounded the police-inspectors in their van, attacked them with stones, bats, and beat them to death. People were shouting that the police-inspectors be killed on the spot for what they did: Kill them! Kill them! These police-inspectors are notoriously violent, are rarely investigated or punished for their crimes, and are terrorizing people making a living. The Chengguan, which are a special combination between regular police and state inspectors, are called violent government thugs in China, thousands of them are on the state payroll in at least 656 cities. In July 2013, they beat to death a man and almost killed his wife, for trying to sell watermelon they had grown on their land. The crime of the Chengguan police sparked riots in the province of Guizhou. Its not clear what happened, though, but the responsibility for murdering the bystander taking pictures lays with the Chengguan. Among people there circulates a version of the events that claims that the police-inspectors hired some men to beat the bystander up after he tried to film them. The police-inspector ran so he could not be accused of being related to the murder. Apparently these Chengguan police proceed like this every time they meet people attempting to document or stop their violence. Numerous police troops were deployed to disperse the crowds, but people kept protesting and demanded that media report what happened. Police used tear-gas and fired warning shots in the air, but could not control the angry crowds, which kept growing. The images are very brutal. The woman lying on the street is the one abused by the Chengguan police. The dead men in the bus and beside it are the Chengguan police. Similar police violence against workers and street vendors led to at least two insurrections against the state back in 2011. Meanwhile, more labour unrest in China:http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-04-21/china-strike-at-nike-adidas-factory-extends-to-sixth-day.htmlYue Yuen Industrial Holdings Ltd. (551), the worlds largest branded shoemaker, offered to raise worker salaries and increase benefits in a fresh bid to end a strike that disrupted output for a sixth day. The Hong Kong-listed company, a supplier to companies including Adidas AG (ADS) and Nike Inc. (NKE) is willing to raise wages in its factories in southern China by 230 yuan ($37) month starting May 1, spokesman George Liu said in a phone interview yesterday. It also agreed to bring forward to next month a social-security benefit plan originally scheduled for 2015, Liu said. Workers have disrupted production in Yue Yuens Dongguan factory complex, which employs more than 40,000 people, since April 14 in a dispute over pay, benefits and the right to pick their own union. They were seen coming to the plant, clocking in and then leaving yesterday. Some employees, who asked not to be identified because they or their family members could lose their jobs, said in interviews that they were still on strike. The labor dispute adds to number of Chinese manufacturers faced with disruptions as wages rise and workers demand better compensation. Rising costs have also prompted some employers to move production abroad. Employees interviewed at the factory yesterday and on April 19 said the company had failed to agree on demands for more pay, a change in contract status and reimbursement for unpaid benefits contributions. Some demanded no punishment for strikers and the right to elect their own union leaders. At least 80 percent of the workers wont take the offer, said Xiang Feng, 28, a worker in the factorys finance department. The companys plan to raise monthly contributions for social security would make it compulsory for employees to boost their own share of payments, she said. Workers may end up with a take-home salary almost unchanged or maybe even lower than before, Xiang said. The strikers expanded demands after an initial dispute over contributions to government-mandated social security and housing benefits for workers. The local government is fully aware and supportive of Yue Yuens proposed plan, Liu said. Monitoring group China Labour Bulletin said on its website strikers at the Dongguan facility numbered at least 10,000, while Yue Yuen said April 16 that more than 1,000 were striking. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and International Business Machines Corp. faced strikes earlier this year in China by workers demanding better compensation. Chinas wages are set to increase by 10 percent or more in 2014, driving more low-cost manufacturers out of the country and boosting consumption, according to analysts at firms including Bank of America Corp. Nike has produced more shoes in Vietnam than in China since 2010. Adidas said in 2012 it would close the last factory it owned in China. Police with riot gear and dogs were present outside Yue Yuens 1.4 million-square-meter (15 million square-foot) Dongguan complex yesterday. Dozens of workers were taken away by police last week, the official Xinhua News Agency reported April 17, without saying why the workers were taken. No one was injured and there were no clashes, Xinhua reported. Police have told workers not to congregate around the factory, said three workers who asked not be identified because they or their family members could lose their jobs. Taiwan-based Pou Chen Group, the shoemakers parent company, is in discussions with the local government to resolve the striking workers concerns and an investigation will be conducted as soon as the strike ends, Adidas China said in an e-mailed statement April 18. Nike is aware of and concerned by the events and is continuing to monitor the dialog between factory management and the workers, as well as production at the factory, the Beaverton, Oregon-based company said by e-mail on April 18. Yue Yuen rose 0.2 percent last trading week, closing at HK$26.10 in Hong Kong trading April 17. Markets in the city were closed yesterday and April 18 for holidays. The shoemaker, which is also facing a factory disruption in Jiangxi province in eastern China, is working with relevant government agencies to resolve the issue, Liu said. He said he expects operations in Jiangxi will return to normal today. Yue Yuen, which had 423,000 employees as of 2012, was founded in 1988 by Taiwanese owners and has factories in China, Vietnam and Indonesia, according to its website. Social turmoil, high pollution and rising wages may lead to uncertainty in China's economic future, imho. Esp. when the large corporations are already moving onto their next wave of slave labour countries. However, large corporations will be happy as more and more Chinese become outright consumers. While their anger is understood, their hate is misdirected. The rioters would turn on the large corporations themselves. Instead, because they're given 'jobs', they are brainwashed into believing they're being saved by Nike, Adidas, Walmart, etc. At least until the jobs vanish as the corporations will move to the poorer far east countries and inevitably Africa. What's left behind will be a hollow shell economy and billions of americanized blind sheep consumers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB007 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Some of the pictures on that site are very graphic. Interesting how these violent police units do not seem to have firearms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denguin Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 ^ Rule #1 when riots are taking place, do not induce lethal firearms into play. Ugh. As horrible as that is (looking at the pictures), I suppose they got a taste of their own medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I think it's too "Monday" for me to go look at the pics.... Otherwise, it's unfortunate but to be expected. Hopefully not too many people are killed/injured during China's "growing pains". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure when the police is not in immediate danger of serious harm, no need for lethal firearms.... this event wasn't one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Regime change in China is inevitable. Just they gotta decide on whether they want something like Eastern European style fall of communism or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Building Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Typically I do not like violence. I do have morally specific circumstances where I have no problem with it. Unless there is more to the story here, like the vendor was antagonizing or kicking up dust here or whatever, I have zero problem with this. I have always felt like it is human nature to defend and honour those who would have a difficult time doing so themselves. The woman being harassed/assaulted certainly qualified as that. Thugs deserve what they got as you can't reason with everyone. Sometimes saying "please stop" just doesn't get it done and a beat down needs to happen. I couldn't blame the mob if I tried as the Chengguan had been doing their share of bullying for quite some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offensive Threat Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 At least until the jobs vanish as the corporations will move to the poorer far east countries and inevitably Africa. What's left behind will be a hollow shell economy and billions of americanized blind sheep consumers. End of WW2 America had a huge industrial base. America prospers, wages rise, industry moves to Japan. Japan prospers, wages rise, industry moves to Taiwan, Taiwan prospers, wages rise, industry moves to China, etc etc. Already some companies are moving on from china to Malaysia, Thailand etc. Yeah Africa looks like the final frontier for low wage workers.

Telemarketing and tech support is already leaving India for the Philippines.. Its like the cycle of life. I think Africa, Middle East, and Latin America are the final frontiers.
