Meanwhile In China, Bayonets At The Ready
It was only a week ago when we reported that the Chinese Police, for the first time in over 60 years of "pacifism", has resumed arming itself as more than 1,000 street-patrol officers began carrying 9mm revolvers. "Shanghai officers, according to the city police bureau, will increasingly be equipped "to respond to all violence and terror" with a revolver using real and rubber bullets. It said officers are getting training in the largest cities in Tibet, Xinjiang, Hunan, Sichuan and Yunnan, where Kunming is the capital."
However, perhaps nowehere is it clearer just how nervous the Chinese authorities are getting about the restless natives than in the following series of photos posted moments ago on Sina, showing security forces in China's Urumqi province learning how to use... bayonets?

"Shanghai officers, according to the city police bureau, will increasingly be equipped "to respond to all violence and terror"
So they will be using them on themselves then?
And some people say the SKS is outdated...
what percentage of those billion slaves don't believe they are slaves?
dont the chinese have automatic weapons? bayonets are not going to conquer anyone
Some of the most fascinating weapons of defense can be found at your local Home depot in the Garden tools section :) just saying.
Pruning clippers are a very effective defense when used against the air hose of an attacking nail gun.
I understand that Norinco makes some weapons. The MAK90 is an interesting workaround of the Clinton era bans, for instance. And the SKS will work too, though the AK doesn't seem as awkward to work with.
Shades of Shao-Lin! These guys are going for medieval weaponry....lots of pain and blood...but the masses can overwhelm them.

Yup. I once fought off 14 ninjas with just a bale of peat moss and a Garden Weasel.
Oh noes!! Attack of the Strawmen!!!
Please to look up"Human Wave" and repost!
Depends on how much "fodder" you have to use them.
Unlimited, and unvalued, labor can accomplish anything.
Bayonets stike fear into an enemy that bullets can't. There is a visceral reaction to being attacked with bayonets. Besides, with a potential 1.3B enemies you just might not be able to change mags fast enough.
Good question. I wonder what percentage of those slave are carrying their own "9mm", compared say to the average 'merican slave. China and America have been on the same page for quite some time, they do appear to be learning from one another...
hedge accordingly.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearm_ownership_law_in_China
Firearm ownership law in the People's Republic of China heavily regulates the ownership of firearms. Generally, private citizens are not allowed to possess firearms. Firearms can be used by law enforcement, the military and paramilitary, and security personnel protecting property of state importance (including the arms industry, financial institutions, storage of resources, and scientific research institutions).
Civilian ownership of firearms is largely restricted to non-individual entities such as sporting organisations, hunting reserves, and wildlife protection, management and research organizations. The chief exception to the general ban for individual gun ownership is for the purpose of hunting.
Individuals who hold hunting permits can apply to purchase and hold firearms for the purpose of hunting. Illegal possession or sale of firearms may result in a minimum punishment of 3 years in prison, with the maximum being the death penalty.
Sounds like a good democrat gun control plan.
~"...bayonets are not going to conquer anyone."~
Bayonets, (technically, pikes), are very effective against unarmed humans. They can be defeated by a) opponents with longer pikes, b) flanking maneuvers, c) projectile weapons. They are extremely effective when wielded by combatants whose superiors are holding firearms (behind them), to keep said combatants from thinking about retreating.
Sounds like they better join some "sporting organizations".
Awesome looking Tactical tennis shoes!
Maybe they could intercept some of the SWAT-style cheapo boots they ship to Sportsmans Guide.
Nike donated them.
I thought all Chinamen already knew how to use that stuff?
Kung fu theater lied!
pods
Dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature.
Chinaperson?
What about "Oriental"? Or is that a term just used for food in the 40's?
"Oriental" isn't China specific. At one time they were called 'celestials' but that is a little too spacey.
Chinese is the right term, 'Chinaman' is an American colloquialism. No offense intended.
There is no eskimo tribe, but we call the Alutiit, Inuit, Inupiat, and the Yupik eskimos. We're just crude that way.
OTOH, who gives a shit?
Probably said "chinaman".... Though it's kind of like you suggested, calling a Viking; cracker. Please do it.. I could care less. Lol

So, where does that leave "chink"?
Chink works for me.
I use chink to describe a dent in my woodworking or my welding projects.. I guess one could call them dents as well.. And by that I mean, the chinamen..
He said it again!

Charlie?

These images are clearly for internal consumption.
No better way to quell any potential internal uprising than to scare said public with images of different ways a police force can use it's power.
Heads up people in China.
Perhaps yet another sign that Governments around the world are preparing for what is coming.

Global Warming!
The dangers, the peril.
Just today: Lib Rag Guardian Claims Global Warming Sank The Titanic…
A recent survey showed that Chinese people claim they are free at a higher rate than US citizens do.
fonestar:
SKS klutzy but serviceable. Ammo still cheap. Trumps spears.
Chicom police now with firearms - a good thing. The people finally have a go-to source.
looks like the Western Banks are starting to prep the populace
9mm revolvers huh. Wow I haven't seen a 9mm revolver around recently. Have seen a few 9mm semi-auto "pistols" though.
Ruger marketed one in 9x19 a while back.
This could be journalistic "expertism" at it's best, too. 9x17 (.380) and 9x19 are .356, while .38/.357 are both .358 nominal. Hard to say.
And last but not least: just because it's a wheel gun doesn't mean it won't blow your fucking brains out. Getting shot pretty much sucks, gun snobbery aside.
Have fun reloading that thing when the 1.3B strong mob is bearing down on you. Nobody is debating the power or accuracy, just the RoF.
Someone needs to sell these guys some "no hesitation" targets. I hear US law enforcement has a lot of them...
Is this what is referred to as setting up and attacking "straw man" arguments?
These poor bastards are no match for Paul Krugtard's straw man destroying abilities.
I think this is a pretty clear indication if what may happen to anyone protesting in China.
Maybe the no hesitation targets should feature Krugman.
Kill two birds with one stone.
As it were.
"I hear US law enforcement has a lot of them..."
No. Becuase of the public backlash, Obama's DHS suppossedly stopped buying them after ordering only five million dollars worth. Of course, that was enough to give us a very clear smoking gun to complete the pattern and divine their intentions.
Nice......... people should pay a vist to their homes for a come to Jeus meeting.
All hail Zeus.
aw hell, all hail Zod
Asians with mustaches always make me laugh.
Lol... what the hell?
A Fu Manchu would be the exception.
If the weaponry on a law enforcer is any measure of how nervous the authorities are, the US authorities must be shitting their pants.
It is not the absolute level of weaponry, but the amount of increase in armament that is key. And yes, US authorities are getting very nervous.
The average cop can't shoot for shit. Bet there's a ten to one ratio of range time for the citizenry versus average police.
except for dogs, they practice that a lot.
They are practicing for NYC on behalf of Loyd Blankfein.and Obama.
They're not even bayonets, they appear to be some kind of Zulu spears? Odd.
Although it's not really related in context, reminds me of those videos from before WW2 where the German army was marching/practicing with shovels instead of rifles, because they weren't allowed a standing army.
Used correctly, a shovel can be quite deadly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GewMXi1j6JI
Can't be Zulu spears, they don't have any shields to bang them on.
You cannot bang on a grass mat; more of a 'thwack' sound.
Come to think of it, I suppose you can bang on a grass mat...carry on.
Trainers.
Photo 1: Driving the tip into the heart of the straw man a good 8". Perfect killing technique-execution technique. Slashing the arms/shoulders is a maiming technique-crowd control.
Learned from the Japanese?

Hey man, what happened to Kung Fu? And Wire Fu for that matter?
I thought everyone in China knew Kung Fu and that the good guys always won in a fight.
Has The Asian movie industry deceived me?
I'm so ashamed.
Bruce Lee was good theater, until Indiana Jones:

And for something marginally closer to reality. Pointy stick beats sword.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&list=PLquh4HJMGJ...
Pointy sticks are generally, underrated.
The regular Chinese pleb needs to refamiliarize themselves with the nine section whip, rope dart, shaolin staff, Kuan -do and sabre. It's a sure fire way to fuck up a lousy bayonet charge. Boxer Rebellion V 2.0...
A pointy stick lets you stab the guy who knows kung fu from 6 feet away.... While he's still gathering his chi.
Oh look, it's 1914 again and everyone's arming to the fucking teeth.
Ora no!
Sharpa shtick!
That would be raciss, except asians are not people of color.
They can NEVER get it right! Backwards idiots...
It's: "Stick it to the MAN!"
And, swords and such can only inflict "flesh" wounds! (it was bound to come up!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKhEw7nD9C4
It's okay; the iKidz can just hold up their iPhones at the guys with the bayonets !! There's an app for that !!
Bullets cost money.
Bullets aren't necesary. A knife to a fist fight is good enough in china.
It looks like Chinese ROTC.
High school kids.
ZH has no real drama to report from around the world?
Indeed, note the disparate footwear.
These are the police/authority?
They have been wearing "sneakers" since John Wayne was still making BW talkies. Where have you been?
Nike donation.
I knew my stawman was always in china... I've been paying his tickets fucking dirt bag...

Newest chapter of teaparty international
You are becomng an illwind, and are quite full of it as well.
Do the bayonets replace the sledgehammers, or are they in additon to..? Inquiring minds would like to know..
Who carried the bundles
McCain get hacked
Sweep the leg
Great - they get issued spears. Will they be allowed to carry rocks as well?
Don't they have paper targets of women and children that they can staple to those strawmen? Savages.
Funny, their cops get pointy sticks adn sneakers, while our IRS, BLM, USPS, et al get hollow points and jackboots. China is feeling VERY comfortable compared to our plutocrats.
They're trying to emulate Egypt, who after the July 2013 coup saw their stock market go up 85% running up to today's headline, "Egypt Court Sentences 682 Muslim Brotherhood Followers to Death"...what better way to raise your market than destroying your own citizen's wealth and/or life?
1,000 armed cops vs. 1 billion plus people - I'll bet on the mob.
Recalling Robin Williams' standup on HBO:
Maybe China has a nuclear bomb, or maybe they just have one billion people go "Boom"!
Is Dirtwater training them?
"Halt! Or I'll run you through!"
If they are " MADE IN CHINA" those look like real quality items.
How long till there available at WAL MART?
Quality is found in quantity brother. It doesn't matter if they've got the fancy cocabola wood grips or the lime-green "Zombie" hunter tint, a billion pissed off people with frog-stickers is one hairy, fancy, Big Fucking Problem.
My guess is they use the logic that people tend to avoid massed pokey things and it's hard to build a shield wall of guys holding their grandma's wok.
Then again, I could be wrong.
Chinese are so inscrutable.
Attacking a straw man - truly a picture is worth a 1,000 words!
Kerry wants to know why, in the 21st Century, Chinese police are using a pre-historical weapon.
An Old World Lance? SMH
straw wear is no longer fashionable, so to speak
