The Chinese government has launched a major crackdown on young grassroots Marxist activists across various cities, South China Post has reported. The raid is viewed as another step by the Chinese authorities to clamp down on a growing labour movement in the southern province of Guangdong.
At least 16 of the 22 Chinese labour activists are reportedly still missing as of early Wednesday.
The disappeared activists are part of the Jasic Workers Solidarity group supporting workers attempting to unionise at a welding machinery manufacturer.
Chinese authorities have stepped up vigil on university campuses and increased control on Marxist student groups in universities after the Jasic campaign.
The Ruling Communist party views the labour activism is viewed as a challenge to its dominance.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
