Paul Walsh is reporting that Wei Wenhua, a 41 year old construction company executive, was beaten to death recently because he had the gall to videotape them for his video blog.

The government had detained 24 officials and is investigating another 100 over the incident.

I’ve never understood China. And I hate their government. It’s great that they are investigating this, but it seems odd that they’re somehow investigating well over 100 people for this incident.

Walsh’s blog, Segala, has been banned in China as a result of his reporting this incident. So Walsh simply set it up on a proxy server. HA.

Like I said, I hate the Chinese government.
