BEIJING (AP) — China's state media says one policeman has been killed and several others injured in riots Monday in western Sichuan province.
The official Xinhua News Agency gave no other details regarding the riot.
Xinhua also said that 381 people involved in protests in another Sichuan county, Aba, had surrendered to police, according to local authorities.
The Communist leadership has faced the biggest challenge to its rule in the Himalayan area in nearly two decades after protests in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa exploded into violence on March 14, sparking sympathy protests in the neighboring provinces of Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai. |
