  • An “Anger-Venting” Mass Incident Catches the Attention of China's
    Fewsmith, China Leadership Monitor, No. 26 An “Anger-Venting” Mass Incident Catches the Attention of China’s Leadership Joseph Fewsmith On 28 June there was a major mass incident in Weng’an County in southwestern Guizhou, the poorest province in China. At least 10,000 people, and perhaps as many as 30,000, according to some reports, participated in the riot, in which police cars were overturned and burnt and the Public Security Bureau building set on fire. Video and still photographs of the event quickly made their way onto the Internet. Whether because of the inability to cover up the size of this incident, the approach of the start of the Olympics, or for other reasons, Chinese media coverage quickly switched to trying to explain the causes of this incident and to call for reforms to prevent similar confrontations in the future. Although the 28 June disturbance was particularly large in scale, similar incidents have been happening in China for at least the last four years. Unlike protestors over exorbitant taxation or land requisition, those participating in the Weng’an riot were not involved in the incident that set it off (the death of a girl), suggesting longstanding anger among the populace. Shortly after the Weng’an incident, another mass riot broke out in Menglian, Yunnan Province, showing that the conditions that brought about the Weng’an riot are not isolated. Preventing similar incidents in the future marks a serious challenge for the Chinese government. On 28 June 2008, at least 10,000 and perhaps as many as 30,000 residents of Weng’an (瓮安) County in southwestern Guizhou Province converged on local government buildings, overturned and burnt police cars as they marched, and then set fire to the Public Security Bureau building.
