The news agencies are reporting of extensive riots in the western Chinese city of Urumqi where police have used tear gas to disperse crowds in a third day of protests over public safety fears.
There has been growing anger over attacks with hypodermic needles that seem to have their foundation in ethnic tensions between Han Chinese and ethnic Uighurs.
