Details are emerging of a large riot in southern China over the country’s family planning laws.
Thousands of farmers, protesting against China’s forced family planning measures have rioted in the country’s Guanxi region.
Riot police were called in to quell the unrest after villagers smashed cars and set fire to a birth control centre.
At one stage, villagers and government officials reportedly threw stones at each other smashing offices.
The protest, that moved through several villages, was sparked when local authorities increased the fine to more than $AU1,500 for families with too many children.
