    Beijing: "Explosion" near US Embassy...

    Weird coincidence. Started watching an Aussie show on Netflix that begins with a similar scene.

    Chinese state media outlet Global Times reported on Twitter that a witness said police took away a woman "spraying gasoline on herself" outside the embassy.

    The TV show 'Secret City' is worth watching. Episode 1 was brilliant.

    Two college students suffer gruesome fates before five minutes have elapsed: a literal choirgirl named Sabine Hobbs self-immolates in the middle of Beijing while shouting “Free Tibet!”, and a guy named Max Delgetty (we eventually learn that it’s not his real name, and that he was in Sabine’s college choir during their trip to China) is chased off a bridge into a lake by forces unknown, his gutted corpse washing up on the shore the next morning.
