1957 Anti-American Riots
ReplyDeleteThe riots were apparently stage-managed.
In a city notorious for its elaborate secret services and policing agencies -all under Chiang Ching-kuo - why was a riot such as this permitted to go unchecked for hours? And why was not a strong police cordon established around the premises, ...
Stage-managed just like the anti-Japan riots in China this year. Rioters were allowed to loot/destroy Japanese businesses.
More on the riots can be found here if interested.
ReplyDeleteRegarding tour guides, an issue could be that there seems to be a surplus of guides. When the opening to Chinese tourists was announced, quite a few people thought it was a good field to get into.
