Xiamen Chengguan Acid Attack

Not really good news, but we all probably saw it coming - 18 officials have been hospitalized after being doused in sulphuric acid as they were trying to demolish an illegally built warehouse in Tong'an, Xiamen.

The public security goons, who have taken to parading around the cities they patrol in combat gear, were taking part in a "a joint law enforcement action lead by the district land and resources department" when they were attacked by a man wielding a bottle of car battery replenisher.  Images were posted on Weibo of the chengguan involved licking their wounds in hospital three days ago, but news of the incident only surfaced this weekend.
