  • Often, when sensitive stories like this unfold in China, local Communist Party officials organise groups of cadres to pretend to be outraged locals who have been given the role of targeting foreign reporters and preventing any coverage.

    Invariably it doesn’t stop the stories, it just makes China look bad.

    It certainly reinforces my negative view of their government. As an American I feel very well equipped to empathize with the people of Zhuhai in regards to this kind of senseless violence, but I suppose the party saving face is more important than that.
