Manager beaten to death in plant riot By Wang Huazhong in Beijing and Liu Mingtai in Changchun (China Daily )

An executive was beaten to death on Friday as 3,000 steel workers threatened with job cuts protested following the takeover of their company in Tonghua, Jilin province.
Jianlong Steel Holding Company representative Chen Guojun was killed at a facility run by Tonghua Iron and Steel Group, in northeast China's old industrial heartland.
The brawl broke out after Tonghua workers were told to expect job losses during a meeting with a delegation from Jianlong Steel, a privately owned firm based in Beijing.
It was the second time Jianlong had launched a takeover bid for the State giant and many feared the company planned to drain State assets before following up with cost-cutting measures, including redundancies.
"Employees (many of whom are shareholders) are close to enjoying financial gains as the price of steel continues to rise," said a police officer that identified herself only as Wang.

"Then, Chen disillusioned workers and provoked them by saying most of them would be laid off in three days.
"Chen, saying that a total number of 30,000 employees would be cut to 5,000, infuriated the crowd."
The angry steel workers beat Chen and then blocked ambulances, police and government officers from reaching him. He is believed to have died in the midst of the steel workers at 8 pm Friday.
"Chen, the manager, did not deserve to be killed. Unfortunately, he was targeted after unleashing the anger of the furious crowd," said Wang.
The demonstration led to a halt in production at all of the seven blast furnaces belonging to the steel manufacturer, which has a yearly throughput of about seven million tons.
Jianlong held 49 percent of shares in Tonghua between 2005 and the start of 2009, and restructured the company.
Last year, the joint venture experienced significant economic losses due to the global financial crisis, leading to a drop in production and cuts in salaries, causing discontent among workers.
One netizen said the murder at the end of last year of Song Kai, the head of a Tonghua-affiliated steel mill, allegedly at the hands of a 28-year-old worker, was another example of the friction between management and workers in the joint venture.
Jianlong left the partnership in March and workers reportedly celebrated with fireworks.
This month, Tonghua State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission reported that the company, which "went through some very tough challenges in past 10 years", had made a profit of 42.7 million yuan ($6.2 million) in June.
But on July 22, workers learned that Jianlong had secured more than 50 percent of the company's shares, giving it full control.
Local government representatives announced on Friday night that the deal would now be shelved permanently and the crowd dispersed.
Jianlong and Tonghua are respectively ranked 158th and 244th in the top 500 Chinese companies.

Takeover aborted after Chinese manager bashed to death

CHINESE authorities have scrapped the takeover of a steel plant where workers killed a manager in fury at threatened job cuts, state media has reported.
Workers at the Tonghua Iron and Steel Group beat to death newly appointed manager Chen Guojun on Friday after he threatened to lay off up to 30,000 people in a controversial restructuring, the China Daily reported.
Chen was killed when about 3000 company workers forced a production shutdown at the plant in northeast China's Jilin province after an announcement privately-owned Jianlong Group was taking over Tonghua, it said.
"Chen disillusioned workers and provoked them by saying most of them would be laid off in three days," the China Daily quoted a local police officer identified only as Wang as saying.
After severely beating Chen, workers clashed with police and refused to allow medical personnel to attend the badly injured general manager.
Chen was declared dead late Friday after finally being taken to hospital.
A spokesman with the Jilin provincial government surnamed Li confirmed the killing and the protests when contacted by AFP today, but refused to go into detail.
"The Jilin provincial government has decided to stop the merger plan," Li said.
"The police have launched an investigation into the killing."
Xinhua news agency said the government halted the merger plan "to prevent the situation from expanding," apparently referring to the worker unrest.
The Hong Kong-based Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy said in a statement over the weekend that over 30,000 workers were involved in the protest, while as many as 100 people were injured in clashes with riot police.
China sees many large-scale protests each year, often sparked by allegations of government corruption and fuelled by a widening gap between rich and poor.
In one of the most highly publicised recent incidents, ethnic unrest on July 5 in Urumqi, capital of China's northwest Xinjiang region, left 197 people dead and more than 1,600 people injured.
