“It was total chaos. Many people were beaten and were bleeding. The school buildings are a mess,” one student, surnamed Peng, told RFA’s Mandarin service.
“There is a 15-story building on campus. It’s been vacated. The iron doors in the corridors were smashed. In the morning armed police and police cars arrived to restore order. Their attempts were futile. Police cars were overturned,” Peng said.
That would be quite a story if the headline and picture of marching cadets accompanying the story reflected the story.
But if you read the actual story you will find that PLA cadets weren't rioting. The rioters were civilians who pay to take classes at the military academy.
So don't get your hopes up (or, I suppose, worry) that the Chinese government is about to face a revolt from the army.
