Henceforth in this thread when you see some text underlined that means I've edited the quote for contents.

In a picture taken on March 2, 2011 a Chinese worker delivers bags of rice at a warehouse in Hefei, in east China's Anhui province.

In photos taken on March 2, 2011 Chinese customers select gold jewelery at a shop in Hefei, in east China's Anhui province. Gold imports into China, the world's top bullion consumer, soared as investors flocked to metal to safeguard their cash amid rising inflation. The Chinese premier said in a speech to open the annual session of parliament, that the government was aiming for eight percent growth in 2011 -- a figure seen as key to staving off social unrest -- and for slower-paced seven percent growth over the 2011-2015 period, but warned the task was difficult.

Foreign journalists are detained by Chinese policemen in a street leading to a designated demonstration site in Shanghai on March 6, 2011. Authorities in China have shown increasing nervousness about the Internet's power to mobilise ordinary citizens in the wake of unrest in the Arab world, and the subsequent online call for anti-government 'Jasmine' rallies at home.

Protesters shout slogans as they sit down on a Queen's Road Central to block it during a protest demonstrating against the annual budget in Hong Kong March 6, 2011. More than 1,000 people marched to the Central Government Offices to protest against the government's revised Budget proposals, government radio reported.

Protesters are confronted and arrested then carried away by police officers during a demonstration against an unpopular government budget at a down town street in Hong Kong Sunday, March 6, 2011. Several dozen people ended the march by holding a sit-in on a main road in the city's central business district. They want Hong Kong's chief executive and financial secretary to step down. The government faces public anger over handouts in last month's budget that were criticized as short-term and unfair.

Re: Chinese Daily Life in Videos, Photos & News!

I really hate these people that just want to criticize the HK government no matter if they are doing a good thing or bad thing. I am pretty sure that some of the same people that went against the budget for handing out money was requesting for a hand out 3 years ago. HK almost always report that they had a surplus and 3 years ago, some people were crying out for cash to be handed out like what Macau did and only one person (scholar) says that those request were short sighted publicly on TV. The scholar suggested that the money was better spent at investing for public housing and not returning quarterly property taxes (since only the rich owns property). None of these people came out and say the request was short sighted. After 3 years, the government is trying to settle some discontent in the general public and these people came flying out denouncing the budget as short sighted. They don't even know a thing about economics, they just heard the concept from a leader and think it is wrong. If you want to go against a government action, going to the extreme would not get you major public attention (a lot of Hong Kong citizen especially those that have been from Canada and the US would generally disagree on what they say). If you can make a really good and valid argument and even if they government doesn't listen to it. The general public will support it.
