Thanks for this. Frank Langitt is one of the better journalists covering China.

Reminds me of a political cartoon I saw years ago. It was titled, "The importance of the Second Amendment." It consisted of an American colonial on the left, holding a musket. He was labelled, "American Minuteman, 1776." On the right was a Chinese standing in the same pose, but he was holding a broom instead. He was labelled, "Chinese Protester, 1969."

Telling.

"Villagers say officials confiscated the guns not only because they were illegal but because authorities worried the weapons might one day be aimed at the government.

Everything was fine until the lightbulb inside the brain of the local propaganda minister lit up.
