The Chinese Daily reported today about this woman launching a nude protest in order to get her money back from her factory employer.
The 26 year old woman was a migrant worker. She came. She worked. And she lefft without getting paid the 8,000 yuan (abt $1000) she was owed.
It seems the police showed up but did NOT arrest her. This begs the question - well, what did they do? Take her out for coffee?
She was exposed for about 3 daylight hours and created quite a traffic jam of onlookers and passersby. I used to be able to do that just by paying for something at a toy store - people flocked just to see what this laowai foreigner was buying.

It is still not known if she got her money back...but perhaps other people offered her money for other reasons.
What do you think?
