media – A successful outdoor meeting

The People’s Daily is actually carrying the news about the successful strike in Guangzhou. That in itself is a breakthrough, and might be the beginning of much more. It is funny though, to see how it describes the strike as an “outdoor meeting” that “blocked traffic around the factory as workers called for timely payment of their wages, increased overtime pay and one day off per week.” The word ‘strike’ probably a banned word in the official editing software.
