Chinese tourists riot in shopping revolt
Riot police in China's enclave of Macau have been called in to calm mainland tourists angry they were being shown too many shops and not enough sites. More than 20 police armed with riot shields and batons were involved in a five-hour stand-off with 100 tourists from Hubei province, local media say.
The tourists had complained to their guides that they wanted to see more of the former Portuguese colony's historic sites. They said they were being pressured into buying goods.
A scuffle broke out at the beach when the tourists were not allowed to re-board their four locked coaches to get some warmer clothing.
