Background

On June 1 a wage dispute took place at the Huayi Ceramics Factory (Шаблон:Lang) in Chao'an.[3] A Sichuan migrant worker couple and their son surnamed Xiong (Шаблон:Lang), from Zhongjiang County Sichuan, went to the factory demanding unpaid wages of about 2,000 yuan.[2]

The father argued with the boss of the factory and was hurt in the forehead.[2] His 19-year-old son Xiong suffered cuts to the feet and hands after being attacked by two employees of the factory.[4]

The boss of the factory surnamed Su (Шаблон:Lang), surrendered Saturday and confessed to the crime.[3] He owed 61 workers 800,000 yuan in unpaid wages.[4] The other two suspects who carried out the attack were also arrested by the police.[5]

Riot

By June 2 more and more Sichuanese people from nearby areas began gathering for a movement.[2] A few people in the beginning increased to thousands of people.[2]

By June 6 a protest was held at Guxiang involving 200 migrant workers at around 10pm.[6] This turned into a riot with 18 people injured, 9 detained. One vehicle was set on fire, 3 cars were destroyed and 15 cars were damaged during the clash.[7]

The tension between Chaozhou (Teochew people) and Sichuan people have escalated to the point where the situation has been described as "Battle of Chaozhou".[8] Different community groups have come out to protect themselves. There are fears of Sichuan citizens bombing their gas stations in Chaozhou. And fears of Chaozhou people in Sichuan getting attacked.[8]
