Whoa! Talk about overselling a story with a hyperbolic headline! I’m starting to get why the media uses headlines to really rev up the bias and slant — because it’s fun! And easy!
The headline is too much, really, but the story does softly support it:
China is preparing to “strike hard” against rising public unrest, a senior police official said according to state media on Thursday, highlighting the government’s fears for stability even as the economy booms.
Prosperity tends to undermine the government’s power, not enhance it.
