300 chinese assault 14 policemen in Milan waving chinese flags, premeditated gesture

[Kernunnos]

A crowd of three hundreed chinese immigrants has assailed a police patrol trying to arrest a chnese woman that had pushed an agent dring a control and was refusing arrest. The chinese rallied through the town waving chinese flags, and assaulting an italian woman who had protested their initiative. The gesture was premeditated after weeks of tensions between metropolitan police, who was trying to apply city laws, and the unruly residents of what is called without emphasis Chinatown. The chinese consul in Milan dared to defend their revolt, an act of colonization pure and simple, as it does the communist party. Italian language news only, for the moment.

Yes, they did. I saw it on the TV. What the hell Chinese nationalists are doing in Milan, I wonder?

Witnesses said the protest broke out when traffic police, who want to tighten commercial traffic in the area full of wholesale clothing stores, tried to hand out a fine to a driver.MILAN, April 12 (Reuters) - Italian riot police clashed with more than 100 Chinese merchants in Milan on Thursday, after scuffles broke out over traffic controls in the city's busy Chinatown. At least seven people were injured and one car was overturned in the clash as protesters threw plastic bottles and rubbish bins at police armed with batons, according to witnesses. Waving Chinese flags and placards reading "Stop violence and abuse against the Chinese community", hundreds of merchants and residents later staged a sit-in on the neighbourhood's main street, bringing traffic to a standstill. "You just want to send away the Chinese population," one protester shouted at a police officer. "Where is Italy's humanity?" Police declined to comment. Italian residents have repeatedly complained about the noise and traffic, urging city officials to find a more suitable location for the wholesale distributors.

That's bizzare. Italy gave a home to those people and this is how they manifest their gratitude.

It's also a pretty outrageous thing to do so far from home. It shows they know they can get away with almost anything. I just heard about a Swiss guy who got ten months for defacing a picture of the King of Thailand. I can't imagine a European country doing that.

What they do in Europe?

A friend of my brother who has been working his ass off, all day long and seven days a week since his father died to keep up the family business, which was wholesale of cheap clothing, has gone bankrupt and before closing down he has had to mortgage his house to pay his workers.

No matter what he did, he could not compete with the Chinese. He is very patriotic. Years ago he came to me to tell me that much as he wished to produce at home, and much as he had tried, he had no chance to compete with the imports from China and had to seek countries where he could get items produced at even lower costs.

He traveled to Mexico, India and other SE Asian countries. If it wasn't bad enough that the Chinese were importing their awful quality products at cheaper prices because of labour costs in China, two years ago when he was going to his mother's home for lunch, he was taking with him some samples to show her mother as he did almost every day. One Chinese had been observing him for weeks, perhaps months. The Chinese approached him and told him that he could get him the same items produced at a lower cost.

You would think that he Chinese was poor, but he drove him to the manufacturing spot on a brand new, top of the range BMW with all the extras. The manufacturing site was a basement in a building. You wouldn't even notice that there was anything or anyone inside. But what he saw inside was some 20 chinese all sitting in front of sewing machines, with their bare feet and without lifting their heads from them.

It was, he told me, surrealistic. You could almost see the chains on their feet if you closed your eyes for a second.

So now they have reduced not only the costs of labour, but also the costs of transport. And since they are in the country, why they hell are they going to sell to wholesalers and distributors, instead of doing the wholesale and the distribution themselves?

A Spanish manufacturer who had people working in half as bad the conditions as those Chinese, would be thrown in prison and would make the news. But those Chinese are pure mafia.

This friend of my brother is not the only one in the textile industry in closing down this winter. The late arrival of the winter and the subsequent low sales have done done the rest to take to bankrupt lots of small and middle business in the textile industry. More is to come. Northern Italy is a strong area for textile industry.. or it was.

They are also ruining the traditional shoe industry of Elx, down south of Valencia City. There were some riots in that town against the Chinese, and the Chinese Embassy was quick to protest to the Spanish Government and demand that their citizens were protected.

*Pants down!* *Dong!* *Second Round!*

The Italian journalist says: Bandiere dappertutto! (Flags all over the place!)
Why do you think that they wave their flags? patriotism? No way. It is a threat, a reminder to the Italian Government of a possible diplomatic conflict with China! They are blackmailing our governments and we have only useless and treacherous scum in them!

We have overlooked much the problem of the Chinese. They are not like other immigrants because they have kept much to themselves while serving us a piece of rat that they say it is chicken with a smile. But they are as dangerous if not more.

A longer video here. Notice by the end of it how the flags are not in the middle of the crowd, but in the linefront with the police as if they were an amulet: http://mediaserver.kataweb.it/tgrep/...paolosarpi.wmv

immigranti di merda..

The problem here is that people think the Chinese aren't harmful. Sure..they come setup their own little shops,keep to themselves and rarely intermarry with the natives. I use to be one of the persons that believed this but sooner or later I got my eyes opened. The Chinese are not dumb, they are smart and know how to take advantage of the system, specially in Europe where the goverment RARELY does anything. In fact, bet you that no one is going to do anything about this most likely.
A while back something similar happened in Palermo. It was a bit different though. A man drove his wife to a Chinese store. As soon as she came in they shut the place down. The man got out and tried to come in but the door was locked. He kicked it down. In the basement they were holding her down in the basement of the building. They had her tiedto a table and they were going to remove her organs to sale in the black market!
There was some manifestations staged by fiamma tricolore if I am not mistaken. A lot of Chinese immigrants got the crap kicked out of them for a few weeks by local fascist supporters. If only more could follow this example..

Fascists make out no more than 1,5 percent of the population, but episodes like these are likely to reawake old moods and feelings.... Greenshirts in the North are dwindling but they are a lite bit more. If we add blackshirts and greenshirts in the north we could put up a non insignificant force: and feelings of sympathy run high often between blacks and greens since the immigrant invasion, we are jut wo different kind of nationalists. Let's hope in more Milan, quickly since they are already preparing the citizenship and vote for all laws. Population is still in the stage "they have to expect the law and then it's all ok" but rage is mounting and things are getting clearear.

I have always said..unity among nationalists first. Once things are better, regional issues can be settled and solved.

Totally wrong. It is the right wing of Milan government who should be responsible for the clash. Chinese people used to be one of the most tolerant nations in the world, and they usually are very reluctant to oppose the authorities unless they have no way to go. Italy ha
