Thousands rioted in Guizhou’s Qianxi County on Thursday<\/strong><\/a>, apparently incensed by an altercation with chengguan or “urban administration officials”. From Reuters:<\/p>\n

\n

The protest in Qianxi County, Guizhou province, was the latest of thousands of brief, local riots and demonstrations that happen in China every year, and like many recent outbreaks this one pitted residents against “urban administration” officials charged with enforcing law and order.<\/p>\n

A “clash broke out between urban administration officials and the owner of an illegally parked vehicle, drawing in thousands of onlookers and sparking incidents of crowds smashing law enforcement vehicles and blocking roads,” the website of China National Radio (cds.cnr.cn) reported on Friday.<\/p>\n

“Crowds turned over the vehicle of the urban administration staff and attacked police who came to quiet down the situation,” the official Xinhua news agency reported.<\/p>\n

The rioters smashed ten vehicles and torched another five, said Xinhua, adding that 10 police officers and guards were injured. The police arrested 10 people suspected of attacking the vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Unrest also broke out last month in the nearby city of Anshun<\/a> after chengguan allegedly killed a fruit seller and single father, Deng Qiguo. Soon after, a journalist was beaten by local police<\/a> after travelling to Anshun to investigate the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
