Parking row sparks riots in China

Residents in one of China's poorest provinces clashed with police in a row about parking rules, reports said yesterday.
Crowds came out in Qianxi, Guizhou province, after local officials apparently shoved an elderly woman who had parked her motorbike illegally.
Reports say hundreds of people rioted, setting fire to cars belonging to the local government, blocking off streets and injuring several police officers.
Chinese towns regularly experience short-lived outbreaks of unrest.
The anger is often directed at local officials.
Police arrested 10 people, and the rioting and been quelled by yesterday morning, officials told Xinhua.
