    What’s up with that?

    Are Chinese banks really stopping people withdrawing their savings and is the PLA really rolling out the tanks to crush protests about it?

      a private bank tried to illegally freeze people's money, which triggered a protest, and the local government broke it up with riot police. Nobody looks good in this story, but Western news outlets have reported it as though the CPC stole their citizens' money, which is definitely not what happened.
