...the taxman's scrutiny in China:
Thousands of villagers have rioted in south-western China over the country's controversial family planning restrictions, reports say.
The villagers, in Guangxi province, reportedly attacked government offices after officials imposed heavy fines on families who had too many children.
...."The farmers were really angry because the family planning team was going around to homes and making farmers pay fines if they had too many kids," one local resident told AFP.
"If the farmers had no money they took things from them," the resident said.
