More violent protests erupt in China
Beijing - A scuffle between street performers and officials trying to shoo them away sparked a riot in southern China at the weekend involving more than 1 000 people, officials and a US broadcaster said.

In the north, two police officers were killed at the weekend when about 200 construction workers sought the release of colleagues in detention.

The unrelated incidents, about 2 000km apart, were the latest in a string of riots and violent protests in China against perceived abuses of power by police and bureaucrats.
