The report is based on the following reports (latest first).
(a) Malcolm Moore, Rebel Chinese Village of Wukan 'Has Food for Ten Days': The rebel Chinese village of Wukan, which has driven out the Communist party, has resorted to smuggling in food past a police ring of steel which has cut off its population of more than 20,000. Daily Telegraph, Dec 14, 2011.

Quote:

"But the villagers were unbowed yesterday, and their leaders said they had seen signs that the government would 'blink first.'  'We have an old saying here,” said Chen Liangshu, one of the villagers, referring to the legendary aggression of the Wukanese and their neighbours. 'In heaven there is the Thunder God, on earth there is Lufeng and Wukan.'

"'We are using a corridor to the next village to smuggle in meat and vegetables on the back of motorbikes, but each trip takes an hour,' [a villager] added.
