Shotgun or Ticket?
China has often been described as a land of extremes: rich vs poor, modern vs ancient, etc. Today provided me with a microcosm of the extremes in justice, fine vs death.
As I walked through Wudaokou, I came face to face with two policemen. I noticed several things simultaneously: no one else was within 30 yards of us, they both looked like sumo wrestlers in training, they were both wearing riot gear, and one was carrying a citation book while the other had a pistol-grip, pump shotgun.
Don’t you just love the holidays?
