In today's net check we get Chinese reaction to the unrest in nearby Thailand. Dozens of people there have been killed in the battles between red shirt protesters and the military.
The bloodshed followed a more than two month stand-off between thousands of protesters and the authorities in Bangkok. The anti-government red shirts have been calling for fresh elections and what they call 'real democracy'.
The military crackdown began on Wednesday morning after weeks of negotiations failed to disperse protesters, many of whom are followers of Thaksin Shinawatra, the prime minister ousted in a 2006 military coup. Soldiers clashed with militants, some of whom were armed with assault weapons.
