Anti-Japanese Riots in China

How is it that in a communist country, where supposedly the restrictions on speech and assembly are cutailed, can riots be held so freely and blatently?

It is because it is government sponsored, hence condoned by the Chinese government? When the students protested in Tianenman, they were CRUSHED. Now students protest in Beijing, the chinese government "appealed for calm"?? Right ...

Well at least they get to do something and be heard ... unlike some other countries where you would need to apply for a permit to assemble and would need to remain within the OB Markers.
