Harry, I purposely quoted the news clip from "Radio Free Asia" because it
is very right wing. This is the station that is broadcasting reports for
the CIA. It is also funded by the CIA. This was to counter the thread
started that was saying reports are not taken seriously by the "liberal"
media.

Harry, check it out please.......

It's too early to say with any certainty the situation in China, but I
have always been surprised at the violence in some Asian protests. IIRC,
several demonstrations in S. Korea and Japan, the use of fire bombs were
common. There was a protest over an airport, several years back, that had
fire bombs used against the police almost daily.
