Cựu
quân nhân của Quân Đội Giải Phóng Nhân Dân Trung Quốc biểu tình lớn vì
bức xúc với vấn đề không được quyền lợi về hồi hưu, thuốc men, bảo hiểm
sức khỏe như chính quyền Bắc Kinh đã hứa.
Họ bất mãn vì một mặt
thì loa tuyên truyền đảng CSTQ nói đất nước đang trên đà giàu mạnh,
nhưng họ lại không được quyền lợi như đã hứa khi họ tham gia quân đội.
Chừng nào cựu quân nhân của xứ CHXHCNVN xuống đường để đòi quyền lợi
của mình? Hay là tối ngày nghắm hình Trần Dân Tiên treo trên tường là
cảm thấy đầy đủ ấm no, sức khỏe? 
:-D
:-D

BEIJING – On Chinese state television
broadcasts, President Xi Jinping is often shown clad in battle fatigues
inspecting troops, praising their service, and hailing the People's
Liberation Army as key to the country's rising global power.
But
the nationalist drumbeat rings hollow for many retired soldiers who feel
left behind, and they have taken to the streets in droves to complain
about having to fend for themselves with meager pensions and little
support. The unrest poses a delicate political challenge for Xi, who has
made his affinity for the military one of the pillars of his folksy
image.
"It can only irritate veterans that on the one hand they
hear propaganda that China is now a wealthy, powerful country that
reveres its military, yet on the other hand they feel they have to fight
for scraps," said Neil Diamant, a professor of Dickinson University and
expert on Chinese veteran issues.
Such grievances came to a head
last week when more than a thousand retired soldiers, including locals
and many others who rushed in from around the country, descended on
local government offices in the eastern city of Zhenjiang, in Jiangsu
province. For four days, they occupied a public plaza and a street,
singing and chanting as they demanded answers over the alleged beating
of a fellow veteran by government-hired thugs after he petitioned for
better benefits, supporters said.
...
"What the Zhenjiang police did this week, clearing the scene by force, it's illegal," said Li Xiao, a 63-year-old former artillery soldier who drove more than 200 kilometers (120 miles) on Friday to Zhenjiang. He said he wanted to show support for the protesters from the sidelines. "History will be the judge."

Although veterans have been petitioning for decades for
improved pensions, jobs and medical care upon leaving the PLA,
frustration has been bubbling in recent months. Part of the problem is
that local governments are ordered by the central government to provide
greater compensation and jobs for veterans but aren't given extra
funding, Diamant said.
...
The angry veterans, part of an estimated 57 million former military personnel in China, pose a peculiar social stability dilemma for Beijing. The veterans are generally deeply patriotic and wave red flags and banners during demonstrations. They profess loyalty to the Communist Party and admiration for Xi while directing their ire at corrupt local officials.
...
For veterans like Li, who only two decades ago believed that the government would take care of him until he died, modern China can feel like a lonely place.

"I thought, after the country becomes strong and
prosperous, then the people will live and work in peace," he said. "But
that hasn't been the reality."
