This is scary. I was in the incident that Daithi mentioned on page 1 at the hotpot restaurant, mostly getting beat on the ground. I live near Renmin and Baita, I pass by that area every single day on foot. I don't really care what happens to me, I know the actions of a few guys can't possibly reflect on a whole country. I wouldn't be in China if I didn't love it. But this new wave coming around is really concerning considering this incident seemed to be related to a foreigner-local relationship. Having recieved a gang beating in which an old woman was wailed on for trying to defuse the situation, I would really hate to have something happen to my girlfriend because of some political garbage. And now we've got headlines about Obama's G20 welcome.. I can't wait for whatever is happening to blow over.
