Riot Police Dispatched to China Protests

The Chinese government has dispatched paramilitary troops to the city of Suzhou, in Jiangsu province, to control protesters demanding compensation for land that was razed to make way for factories, according to the AP, which writes: "Such disputes are common in China as swaths of farmland are razed to make way for factories, office parks, golf courses and other urban sprawl."

Videos uploaded to YouTube show protestors clashing with police, and hundreds of security agents streaming into the city.
