Hong Kong (China), Jun 26 (ANI): On June 24, hundreds of armed police in China abruptly ended a five-day protest by demobilized soldiers in the city of Zhenjiang. More than a thousand well-organised protesters had gathered to complain about the lack of support and welfare they were receiving from the government. Wearing military-style clothing, they waved flags and shouted slogans outside the gate of a government compound. They came from as far afield as Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Sichuan provinces. They were also angry about other protesters around China being attacked after they also advocated for better treatment by the government. It was reported that local officials in Anhui, Guangdong, Hainan, Henan, Hunan, Liaoning and Sichuan had hired thugs to break up small-scale protests by veterans in recent weeks. Afterwards, several participants in the mass Jiangsu protest required hospital treatment, while others were arrested. Naturally, the Chinese government attempted to black out news of the protest, both to prevent others from joining it and from news circulating nationwide that all is not well in the workers' utopia.
