Tens of thousands of rioters torched a hotel and overturned police cars, accusing the authorities of trying to cover up the murder of a 24-year-old man as a suicide.

Here are some links to video of some of the clashes between the people and the police.

Not sure if these are in order, but this one is called "China: Hundreds of Riot Police Battle the People of Shishou" (video #1) ...

1. That is beyond weird.

A real life mystery.

[conscious evolution]

2. There are over a thousand riots a week in china

They are pretty good at covering them usually.Its easy to do that in a totalitarian society.

3. Who do they think they are? France?

In all seriousness, there may be several riots, but they weren't able to cover this one up.

4. You are probably right, it makes sense that they would suppress that news.

China has a pretty much controlled media.

But then again who doesn't.

But there is another possibility.

7. thanks to four US based corporations ...

china is the most censored country in the world.

9. My conclusion was that the difference from totalitarian

and those that want open free societies, is rarely a division based on borders.

There are people in private and public power in every nation that want control by oppression of a few self claimed elite people.

And every nation has people that believe in freedoms of speech and rights of democracy.

It is not one nations ideals against anothers.

5. this has been going on in china in the last few years

and it is getting worse. when people think that china owns us they should understand china is falling apart from within. there`s no doubt that there will be a massive crackdown on the people or there will be a civil war.

8. And the only weapon the rioting people seem to have are rocks. n/t
