This is an otherwise regular report if not for the footage of the angry crowd pushing policemen back when they tried to stop the NBC crew from doing their work. Outnumbered, the cops could only watch timidly from a distance, quietly video-taping all the goings-on to report back to their higher-ups.

Thats an everyday issue in China, this people work hard for a few, very few dollars a day and if the employer doesn't feel like paying he just vanish with the money and even worse, unpunished.
There is nobody who can protect the workers, no government office or department who take care of this people, its a real contradiction in a "communist" system.
