Fed-Up Chinese Residents Blast Dancing Grannies With $42,000 Sound System

 

At Wenzhou’s Xin Guoguang apartment complex this weekend, 600 residents launched a tit-for-tat “counterattack,” pooling 260,000 yuan to buy six professional-quality speakers. According to the Communist Party-run Hangzhou Daily, they set the speakers up on a fourth-floor balcony across from the park and used them to blast an ear-splitting message — “Please respect the noise pollution laws of the People’s Republic of China and immediately cease illegal activities!” — over and over again for hours at a time.

Everybody knows - for aerobics in China - it's kitty!

I would say blasting that message over and over constitutes noise pollution. I have seen the old folks in the parks doing Tai-Chi perhaps with some music, but it was never loud.
