kids do the darndest things.

Hi, welcome to China Uncensored.

I’m your host, Chris Chappell.

Check this out.

It was posted a couple weeks ago

on Chinese social media.

This three-year-old kid picks up a steel pipe,

like he’s gonna fight off a bunch of police officers.

What a riot!

Even the police officers are filming it.

The video is so cute that China’s state-run People’s Daily

posted it to their YouTube channel.

Wait…

the People’s Daily has a YouTube channel?

YouTube is blocked in China.

But I guess there’s no harm in showing the rest of the world

how cute Chinese toddlers can be, right?

Haha, look at that!

Wait…

it sounds like he’s screaming,

“Don’t bully my grandma!”

Dang! He seems genuinely angry.

And these police,

well, they’re not really police.

They’re called “chengguan” or “urban management.”

Chengguan are the taskforce that’s supposed to enforce city laws

related to street vendors, traffic, and so on.

But they have a reputation for being corrupt.

And brutal.

Like that time in 2011

when chengguan beat a one-legged fruit vendor to death.

Or in 2013,

when chengguan beat a watermelon vendor to death.

Or in 2014,

when chengguan assistants beat a 70-year-old man to death.

I mean, he did criticize them.

But clearly,

a three-year-old couldn’t have read those articles.

No, he just intrinsically understands that these chengguan are bad guys.

And if they’re after his grandma,

it’s worth taking the most extreme action to stop them.

And the videos of this kid have become online sensations in China,

getting millions of views.

Although there’s not much info on who this kid is

or what the chengguan were doing to his grandma,

it seems every netizen has an opinion.

This weibo user writes:

“His grandmother is so blessed.”

This user said:

“...This proves that from a child’s perspective,

chengguan have a bad image. Thought-provoking.”

And this user writes:

“This little boy has gone mad...

and the adults don’t know how to restrain him.”

There was even an online survey that got more than 100,000 responses.

47% said “The kid’s just protecting his family,

that’s all.”

35% said “First, I need to know if the chengguan

had roughed them up prior [to the video].”

And 18% said “It’s a bit troubling

a child this young is resisting the law.”

I feel like this survey might be more of a reflection

on what Chinese people think of standing up to authority in general.

And authorities better watch out.

Because someday, this toddler

might become the next Ip Man.
