All calm after police retake Chinese city - Xinhua Sun Jun 21, 2009 6:03pm IST

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Crowds that clashed with paramilitary police in a small town
in central China on Saturday have dispersed, leaving police in control, local
residents and state media said on Sunday.
Unusually, the protestors in Shishou, Hubei province, appear to have included local
government employees, showing the depth of dissatisfaction in the city of 620,000.
Crowds set fire to the Yonglong Hotel on Friday night after the death of 24-year-old
chef Tu Yuangao. The man's family had refused to accept the hotel management's explanation
that Tu had committed suicide by jumping out a window.
By Saturday, the confrontation had escalated into one of the most serious "mass incidents"
in China since the alleged rape of a teenage girl found dead in Weng'an, Guizhou province,
sparked riots last year involving 30,000 angry locals.
Videos of the confrontation posted on Youtube show thousands of paramilitary police marching
with riot shields over their heads, then beating a hasty retreat as the crowd pelted them with
stones and other objects.
