Chinese police have quelled a mass riot sparked by rumours that a disabled fruit seller had been beaten to death by local officials.
State media reported that hundreds of people threw stones and clashed with police on the streets of Anshun, in the southern Guizhou province.
Oh yeah, kind of like how the Arab Spring started in Tunisia.
How Chinese rulers can sleep well at night is beyond me. They'll find that the aircraft carrier fleet they are building will be quite useless in places like Anshun.
