Updated: 2009-07-22 23:13 SHAOGUAN, Guangdong: An official of Shaoguan city in southern Guangdong Province promised Wednesday to take better care of Xinjiang workers and make them feel ease to work and live there. A public security incident will not affect the trade cooperation and labor exchanges between Shaoguan and Xinjiang, said Lin Yaoming, deputy secretary of the Communist Party of China Shaoguan City Committee on Wednesday.
Lin also said that the city will provide more training to Xinjiang workers to help increase their income. A post on a local website that said "Six Xinjiang boys raped two innocent girls at the Xuri Toy Factory" caused a mass brawl, that left two Uygur employees dead and more than 100 injured on June 26. The rumormonger had been detained by police. Ehet Sayit, head of Xinjiang's Shufu county, home to Xinjiang workers in the toy factory, said that the county government has encouraged local people to work in coastal regions as an effort to develop their hometown. "A migrant worker can earn up to 1,600 yuan (about US$200) per month, a big contrast to the average annual per capita income of 2,649 yuan," said Sayit. The workers can also learn about technologies that can help them start their own business after they return home, the county official said. Coastal cities like Shaoguan are seeing more ethnic arrivals from inland regions. About 1.5 million migrant workers of different ethnic groups work in Guangdong Province, according to the provincial government. Shufu county, with a population of 320,000, has seen 70,000 to 75,000 people work outside every year, said Ehet Sayit. About 3,400 people from Shufu county came to Guangdong province this year. |
