The violence was reportedly sparked by a spate of crimes at the factory following the arrival of around 600 Uighur workers in May this year, the newspaper said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>See also reports from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.china.org.cn\/china\/news\/2009-06\/27\/content_18023576.htm\">Xinhua<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/hostednews\/ap\/article\/ALeqM5gdcfQ8l28f_jK9yH3RKOBB92CEKQD992QC080\">AP<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/images16.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/images16.jpg\" alt=\"shaoguan\" title=\"shaoguan\" width=\"396\" height=\"366\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/images16.jpg 396w, https:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/images16-300x277.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/><\/a>[Photo from www.motorfans.com.cn]<\/p>\n<p>Update: See more<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zonaeuropa.com\/200906c.brief.htm#011\"> from ESWN<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wires services are reporting a clash between Han and Uighur factory workers in Guangdong which left two dead and dozens injured.
