Yeah, it must go deeper... But the interesting thing is that such riots are actually taking place in mainland China. And - I may be wrong - but it appears that they are happening against the will of the Government. Which means that riots and social unrest may happen again -- for different reason, like, perhaps, potential problems with the economy, compensation for workers, etc.

I think that there is a connection between these signs of social unrest and the fact that markets appear to be rolling over.

I read years ago that some people used to track flare ups of tensions in the Middle East, because they seemed to correlate with negative action in the markets. China may become a similar "indicator" - especially since it is an important, rapidly growing economy, maybe on its way to become the dominant one.

If China sneezes, the world may catch... not yet pneumonia, but maybe... bronchitis... g/ng
