#1 Most Chinese cops don't carry guns. (Most Chinese crooks don't either). I'm impressed that guns - and ammo - were issued for this demonstration. I'm surprised that this is happening in Guangdong.

Officials in that province are corrupt - but they generally try for win-win outcomes to minimize problems like this. For an important reason - your average Chinese citizen isn't exactly a docile creature averse to violence or murder. What you see in the chop-socky movies is semi-correct - there is the mentality that if someone kills a close relative, it is your personal mission in life to kill him - together with his entire family, if possible, preferably in as brutal a manner as possible. Revenge must not only be carried out - it must be seen to be carried out. And most Chinese security personnel are neither allowed to carry guns under normal circumstances nor issued significant amounts of ammo for their guns.
