CANTON RIOTS "LIKE BOXER RISING" SAY CHINESE
HANKING SATURDAY THE ANTI-BRITISH RIOTS IN CANTON YESTERDAY VERE DESCRIBED AS "A DANGEROUS PARALLEL" TO THE BOXER RISING OF 1900 BY SEMI-OFFICIAL CHINESE QUARTERS HERE TODAY.
THESE QUARTERS, DEPLORING THE RIOTING, SAID THE ANTI-FOREIGN ACTS OF THE BOXERS (WHO BESIEGED THE FOREIGN LEGATIONS IN PEIPING, THEN PEKING, THE CHINESE CAPITAL) THOUGH PROMPTED BY PATRIOTIC MOTIVES BROUGHT MORE INJUSTICES AND INDIGNITIES UPON THEIR COUNTRY THAN ANY OTHER SINGLE FACTOR IN THE MODERN HISTORY OF CHINA.
GENERAL RESENTMENT AGAINST THE BRITISH, THESE SEMI-OFFICIAL CHINESE SOURCES AVERRED, DID NOT START AS A PROTEST AGAINST THE BRITISH EVICTION OF CHINESE "SQUATTERS" FROM CONDEMNED HUTHENTS IN KOWLOOM, HIAMLAND TOWN IN HONGKONG COLONY. REUTER MF
