Riots in Guangdong
Escalate, Overwhelm Shaxi Chaos is mounting in the
ongoing labor riot that
began on Monday in the
town of Shaxi in
Zhongshan City,
Guangdong Province . On Tuesday, thousands of migrant workers
swarmed into Shaxi from
Guangzhou, Foshan,
Jiangmen and other
neighboring cities,
overwhelming the local police force. Rioters are
wrecking every motor
vehicle they see, stopping
moving cars in order to
batter them. Police cars,
privately owned cars and bus stops have all been
destroyed. A number of
shops have been broken
into as well. The
Zhongshan Fuhua Station
was set on fire and burned for close to 24 hours. The
Shaxi town hall has also
been ruined. At first the rioters allowed
ambulances in to bring food
and water to armed police and
others. After 5 p.m. no cars
were allowed in and
protesters began overturning cars. At least five ambulances
have been torn apart.
It is reported that several
protesters have died and over
100 have been injured, mostly
workers. More than 100 people have been arrested.
The Sichuan Public Security
Head has dispatched a group
of six to Zhongshan to help
manage the situation.
The latest news is that armed police from Guangzhou,
Zhuhai and Foshan have been
sent to Shaxi to clear the
streets on the morning of
June 27. The Peoples
Liberation Army is also at the ready to suppress the
rebellion at any time.
