Shanghaiist has a new post on an western volunteer being attacked by Chinese protesters outside Carrefour. To be simply put this is ridiculous. People need to calm down now – or we may really escalate things beyond control. Unfortunately the Chinese government is stuck between a rock and a hard place: stand by and watch things get out of hand, or step in and run the risk of the protests shifting toward other issues – which means the government will probably not do much. I’m really worried how this will play out.
