As part of the broader movement for increased wages taking place in China recently, over 2,000 employees of KOK international went on strike on June 2 asking for a raise. The local authorities in China’s Jiangsu province mobilized hundreds of riot police to suppress the protestors. Fifty were injured, with five in a serious condition, one of whom is pregnant.

KOK International, commonly known as KOK China, is a U.S. company with a factory in Kunshan City, in eastern Jiangsu Province. Employees have recently demanded the company pay back wages that are owed to them.

On June 7, the third day of the strike, the company had still not responded to the employees’ request. Several dozen police arrived at the scene but were unable to maintain control. Later, hundreds of riot police came and violence erupted between them and the protesters.
