The title says it all, really. This happened earlier this month in Tangshan, a city of almost 8 million in northeastern China. Pretty standard stuff, right? What's odd is the fact that this has made international headlines somehow. It's almost as if the media has an agenda.

I mean, why exactly does CNN and the NY Times devote attention to what looks like a street brawl?
Of course, after Chinese femoids began to complain about the incident on Weibo (think of it as Chinese Twitter), state broadcasters called for the nine men to be arrested—which was what happened next.
China is the sort of place where the authorities won't hesitate to lock you up for making a Winnie the Pooh joke, so it's not surprising that they would devote resources to a similarly trivial incident—muh "violence against femoids".
