Riot in Zhongshan, Guangdong, China

The 2012 Zhongshan riot occurred on and following June 25, 2012 in the Shaxi district of Zhongshan, in China's Guangdong province. Sparked by a fight between a migrant teen from Sichuan and a local schoolboy, the violence snowballed into a major riot by hundreds of mostly Sichuanese workers as tensions between migrant workers and natives boiled over.
