Look at the last pic. A lady sitting in the crowd was carrying a baby in her arms, and maybe was feeding him too. Was she joining the protest? Why carrying babies into such a scene? It would be great dangerous for the babies if any violence occurs.

I think that was idea they where trying to get across. This was the 'day after' protest, where the wives of men arrested held a march to ask for them back. A government spokesman told them to disperse and they did just that.



There been a lot of talk here about Western sources not covering the riots very well and I agree, there are deficiencies and inevitable bias but so far its at least informative.

True and I agree with you. Unfortunately there are photos on line of dead persons an some are children.

Re: Chinese military photos

PLA produced? Heh. These days the PLA doesn't have any businesses of its own. It may differ from the many helmets the PLA uses, because PAP/CAPF has its own procurement system. There are many manufacturers and models vying for contracts. If they don't make it with the PLA, they can hope for business from the PAP or export orders.

In my opinion, every chaos is created by politicians for their political purpose (Oop! are we discussing politics?). As answered by Crobato in other thread, western media cover very little over this issue. I think their main purpose was to make Hu Jintao, who was in Italy to join the G8, losing his face.

I don't mean to discuss politics, but I just want to point out that the technique of using babies, children in demonstration is to get sympathy from outsiders and make police difficult to crackdown on them. I have been seeing such technique so frequently in both Cambodia and Vietnam. For example, a female pickpocket was caught and sent to police station. Soon, somebody carries a baby and pass to her, and say "Hey, take your baby. I have no time to take care of him for you." Then, the pickpocket starts to feed her baby in front of policemen. Though the police know that is her trick, but there's nothing they can do rather than releasing her.

Another case would be the beggars who carry a baby doing their "business". When they find a "target" , they tweak the baby to make him cry, and they cry too. It looks like they are in extremely difficult situation. Foreigners are always cheated in such scene; while local people give them money because they want them to go away. Hey! guys, this is child abuse! Who should you give your sympathy to?

"A Chinese military helicopter drops leaflets asking people to return home as Uighurs gather upon hearing of Han Chinese attacks in a Uighur neighborhood in Urumqi, China, Wednesday, July 8, 2009."

"Chinese paramilitary police officers form a barrier between Han and Uighur districts a day after Han Chinese mobs attacked Uighur neighborhoods in Urumqi, China, Wednesday, July 8, 2009."

"Heavily armed Chinese police officers patrol near a mosque in a Uighur neighborhood a day after Han Chinese mob's attack in Urumqi, China, Wednesday, July 8, 2009."

Sheesh with captions like that you'd think it was "Han Chinese mobs" that rioted caused those 156+ deaths 1000+ injuries, torching 100+ vehicles. Compare "Han Chinese mob" with "peaceful Uighur protestors" as quoted by pretty much every Western media outlet.

Chinese paramilitary police practice during a break from patrol in Urumqi, western China's Xinjiang province, Friday, July 10, 2009. Boisterous crowds in this riot-hit western China city turned up at mosques despite announcements that Friday prayers were canceled due to the recent ethnic violence, forcing officials to let them in.

Security force officers help a person on a wheelchair to move away from a sealed back ally after some Uighur protesters marched through the street in Urumqi, western China's Xinjiang province, Friday, July 10, 2009. A group of 10 police in bulletproof vests and helmets and armed with batons and stun guns blocked Uighur protesters' march within minutes, followed shortly by several dozen more police who surrounded the group and forced them to squat on the sidewalk when the group of about 40 Uighur men and women began to march.

Do you know they were killed by islamic terrorists?

I feel so funny that the western medias only take pictures on people not ethnic Han passing by PAPs, in a city 80% of the population are ethnic Han.

BBC etc are just a bunch of liers.

Post 391, the last pix. I can't tell much about the pix, but it's a 14.5 HMG, isn't it? I've been wondering about this toy, since the guy sits on it, how does he rotate the gun?
