Well Chinease authority might have made some mistakes in mishandeling, they might have reasons for arresting; but its the journalist's explosive drama as well.

China is a country slowly comming out of the grips of total communism and slowly  adopting capitalism. I agree there are still a lot of sour feelings and injustice been done and the people are very angry because they havent been compensated or comforted. They are comming out in numbers just in time China is hosting the olympics.....what better time to get the worlds attention. Judging china just from decades ago where people just wore the same blue and grey clothes and the country rode bicycles as transportation and totally cutoff from the world.......china has come a long way and still has a long way for a democratic republic of China But the protests will never stop due to the cruel commie rule which was chinas yerter -years. and the ripple effects are still fresh thats why we see all these protests......that can really harm China's image when the world is looking at a country who is slowly giving up communism and accepting the world of capitalism. YET the crimes of Communism are still haunting China and will haunty China for a long time. ...it will take time and these events will keep on going on.
