While police dispute the story, Chinese netizens express sympathy for “800 Brother” over how workers are treated.

A Chinese factory employee set fire to a textile plant in China’s southwestern Sichuan province in his frustration over unpaid wages of just 800 yuan (or US$111), according to videos posted on social media and eyewitness accounts shared with Radio Free Asia.

      What if I told you that the US and China are different countries and that they have different governments?

      I guess you oppose burning teslas? Bootlick much?

      I oppose adventurism.

      People should be organized and follow democratic centralism, parties and unions and organizations and such. They shouldn’t just go off on whatever adventure pops in their head because they’re mad at some rich guy for being a piece of shit.

      Again, that shit is for anarchists, and in case you haven’t noticed they haven’t been very historically successful.
