There are several hundred violent demonstrations and clashes with the police each day in China, the result of growing anger and frustration at the corruption of government officials. Most of the culprits are identified as members of the Communist Party, although many joined simply to get ahead in their government career. The unrest is increasing, and senior officials are getting nervous about their inability to reverse the trends (unrest and corruption.)
This seems like a lot. But reports of violent clashes are hardly new. I just don't know if such clashes are part of the normal landscape of Chinese politics and society or a sign that China could collapse in civil disorder because of the unrest. And even noting that Chinese rulers are worried doesn't answer the question.
