China Labor unrest flares as orders fall

China is facing its worst wave of labour unrest since a series of wildcat strikes at Japanese-owned car plants last year, as declining export orders force factories to reduce worker pay.
More than 15,000 workers in Shenzhen and Dongguan, two leading export centres in southern Guangdong province, have gone on strike over the past week. the latest protests broke out on Tuesday at a Taiwanese computer factory in Shenzhen.
