China factory closures: perspective from The Times (UK)
I’ve argued in the past that the labor unrest in Dongguan and Shenzhen was overplayed and over-emphasised by the western media. Here’s another article, “Violent unrest rocks China as crisis hits” which contradicts my view.
It just doesn’t scare me as it might. As with the articles of the past, it highlights a few anecdotes (albeit fresh ones) about unpaid workers protesting, official malfeasance in controlling the press, an extortion scheme perpetrated by an unemployed worker.
I guess if I didn’t live here and have the perspective that I do, this article might send shivers up my spine.
Maybe not.

Hey David,
I couldn’t agree with you more. Why?
