The deflection in this article is the classic Chinese way of arguing. Whenever anything bad is pointed out about China, the first thing they do is point out a similar case in another country. "The fake document holders were from Africa..." How does this pertain to this story at all? Full Comment>>

I actually like the stories about dumb tuhaos getting their just desserts. It's really short and kind of funny, and this is in the "weird" news section, obviously not meant to be taken seriously. Full Comment>>

Perfect! A large amount of (probably)single, uneducated, poverty stricken, men capable of of performing long hours of manual labor that follow orders without question!

I'm actually kind of surprised the CCP spin doctors didn't take advantage of this by saying it was by design, to decrease pollution. "No, no, the economy is fine. We're just consolidating factories and utilizing more efficient techniques to reduce pollution." Full Comment>>

I like the creativity of these guys, drawing attention to the problem in a comical way. They probably knew all they had to do something just weird/unoffensive enough to get a story out of it. Then the local police have to get involved to save face. Protesting with Chinese characteristics. Full Comment>>
