(53,661 posts)There is a video near the end of this thread that I can't translate, and it doesn't look like this was at all necessary.
I also found a thread that shows people are near rioting, so if it was done to get them in the streets, it's working.

But wrong targets, I think. The money problem is not related to electronic goods, but higher up in society where people (should I say mobs?) cannot touch them. I don't think the Chinese are going to throw their goods or money away.
There may be a lot more going on, or rioting, across the board against many targets and we are offered this ridiculous example of people offended about the price of non-essentials.
In a functioning socialist democracy, the people work within the system, don't have to riot in the streets.
