  3. What are their credentials? Their credentials aren't known to me.
  4. What does your source say about your topic?
    Resentment toward China's one-child policy has led to a second round of violent protests in southwestern China's Guangxi Province. Joseph Popiolkowski reports from Hong Kong that peasants there are seeking refunds of fines imposed on them for having more children than allowed. China's state-run media reported another wave of social unrest in Guangxi, as the central government increased pressure on local officials to maintain population control levels.Protests over large fines imposed for violating the one-child policy erupted in the region two weeks ago. Official reports say several hundred rural residents rioted again Tuesday, setting fire to furniture and government vehicles at a family planning office. The reports say the protesters were seeking refunds for the fines, which can top $1,300.
  5. Do you believe your source? I do believe my source.
  6. Why or why not? I believe it beacuase it is understandable where the people would grow angry from. I would most likely be one of thos protestors if the government I lived in practiced the same system.
