From Reuters AlertNet: “Up to 50,000 workers upset over mistreatment by local security guards clashed with police in a town in China’s Guangdong province, throwing rocks and bricks and torching four police cars, a Hong Kong newspaper said on Sunday.
The unrest was the latest in a string of riots and clashes in rural China, all sparked by seemingly minor issues, that have highlighted discontent over rampant corruption and abuse of power and a growing rich-poor gap.”
