Students in Jiangxi Protest for their Diplomas: Video Documentation Emerges on Youtube

Picture 8.pngFrom Global Voices Online:

"China: Videos emerge of clashes between police and students in Jiangxi: Hot on the heels of the Chinese government;s claim of a 22.1% reduction in mass incidents; (read “protests”), here’s some more video of “mass incidents” from China, in case you missed this portion of John Kennedy's latest Beijing bulletin:

Backing up to China late last month, students at one technical college in East Chin's Jiangxi province found out from a television show that they wouldn't be getting the four-year university diplomas they had been promised, and some started rioting. There was bloggage here, here and camera footage posted here, but the story didn't hit YouTube until a few days later. Video clips of the two thousand-strong team of police and soldiers arriving at the school, moving in, inspecting dorms, chasing students and attacking them here: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7."

FYI - video #2 has created a new wave electronica montage of all the images - it's like NYC Hipster meets Chinese Protester
