Wukan protests
2011 and 2016 protests in China
The Wukan protests, also known as the siege of Wukan, was an anti-corruption protest that began in September 2011, and escalated in December 2011 with the expulsion of officials by villagers, the siege of the town by police, and subsequent détente in the village of Wukan, in the east of the Chinese Guangdong province. The villagers rose up again in June 2016, but were again suppressed.
