The Weng'An Riots: "How hard is it to give the masses the real picture?"

June 30, 2008 by Buxi 80 Comments

In the aftermath of the Weng'An (Wengan) riots, most newspapers are running with Xinhua's short three paragraph report on the issue.

One of our myriad goals for this blog was to make one simple point: the Chinese debate politics. The Chinese community debate eloquently and foolishly, intelligently and blindly, informed and uninformed, left and right, China and West... the Chinese are not brain-washed robots living in a closed society; we often disagree, often very passionately.
