Big trouble in little China

A small Chinese village has reportedly repelled a force of 1000 riot police in a clash that left a bunch of police in hospital and a number of police vehicles burned. Villagers, fed up with corruption, pollution and poverty, were protesting when the riot police were called in. People rushed from their homes to defend the village.

I like this quote from one of the villagers the best:

"The communists are even worse than the Japanese"
