That article has an email address attached, so go ask the author! I am not in China, so I cannot tell you. But I did see some Chinese forums and local newspaper discuss it (located and hosted by mainland). And since there are hundreds of these type of riot in China in recent years (most of them were much smaller scale and most of them involved in delayed pay), so there is NO big deal whether the official reported or not. All the Chinese who concern know it. And these riot mainly only related to the local officials, so why would CCTV should bother that much to report it? Yes, whether your guys like it or not, the style of news in China is dif. from the style in the West! It does not focus on the social riot and disasters news. Many local officials are corrupted to the core, and everyone who lives in China now knows it. And the central gov. has little control over this type of things. Jiang and Zhu pair (who were loved so dearly by the West pretended not to see it.) Now Hu and Wen start to change some of the provincial leadership to fight the corruption. It still remains to be seen how it plays out. But don't think this corruption thing is unique to the CCP in China. It has had as long tradition as China's history. As a matter of fact, CCP bet. 1950-1978 was the least corrupted officials in Chinese history, if not in all human history. The current CCP is no CCP before 1978. So when you put things in perspective, it is no big deal. Corruption is self-adjusted in China. Otherwise, the regime will be changed by revolution. Thousands of years of Chinese history has indicated that.
