【新唐人2015年2月7日讯】在中国大陆，中国新年将至，各地农民工讨薪事件风起云涌，每天至少发生数十起到上百起工人和农民工群体讨薪事件。最近，还接连发生了多起讨薪引发的血案。对此有评论分析，这一现象凸显了中国底层民众的无助与无奈，以及当今官商勾结，肆意欺凌弱势群体的冷血和无良。
据不完全统计，近一段时间以来，中国各地群体维权事件，每天至少发生几十到上百起，而3号到5号，每天维权事件更是在200起左右，而讨薪事件的比率占大半。
5号上午，苏州拆迁户范木根案开庭，江苏常熟“源兴包装厂”7、80名讨薪无果的农民工，到苏州中院门前准备拉横幅维权，全部被抓捕。
在现场的湖北维权人士尹旭安：“当时是正准备把横幅拉出来的时候，一掏的时候，一大帮特警就冲上前去，把他们的横幅全部抢了，然后就开始抓人，领头的人，抓到小车上去了，其他的一些人都被抓到大巴车上面去了。”
当天上午，在四川双流县政府门前，也发生几十名农民工要求政府协助讨薪事件。
双流县失地农民周艳琼：“我听他们说，昨天也在这儿，今天也去了，连续两天了，一个农民说，那些民工涉几千万的工资，让政府出面，现在政府没有出面，有个警察就强烈的把他们赶走。”
河北省廊坊大厂县“彰新服装厂”300名工人，1月16号至今，连续多日到县政府要求协助讨薪，但县政府一直大门紧锁。
彰新服装厂的陈欣：“昨天（4号）我们还是去了县政府，县政府一天都没开门，从早上上班，到晚上下班，一直把大门锁着，不让工人进去，不接待我们。”
3号，河北省石家庄市祥云国际楼盘，发生了上千建筑工人，到河北省政府追讨被开发商联邦伟业集团拖欠的工资，大批警察到现场戒备。
2号，云南省200多名被拖欠了一年多工资的农民工，到政府部门要求协助讨薪，遭大批警察殴打，至少有6人被打伤。
此外，各地还接连发生农民工讨薪引发的血案。3号，陕西延安的煤矿工人，怀疑因为讨薪无果，在私家车上引爆炸药，将一名包工头炸死。
1月31号，38岁的包工头黎汉规，在前往广西南宁龙光地产集团普罗旺斯工地结账时，被承建商指使手下人刺杀身亡。
去年底，河南农民工周秀云在山西太原工地讨薪时，惨遭警察拧断脖子死亡，网上视频显示，一名胖警察还用脚一直死死踩住躺在地上的周秀云的头发。
1月19号，在河北冀州一处新建楼盘，一名13岁女孩帮父亲讨薪无果，从16楼跳下身亡。
《六四天网》创办人黄琦分析，农民工讨薪血案频发，凸显了底层民众的无助与无奈，以及当今官商勾结，肆无忌惮的欺凌弱势群体的冷血与无良。
《六四天网》创办人黄琦：“在中国大陆对弱势群体的保护不力，特别是商家商业集团往往与政府实行的是官匪勾结，他们在地方是很强势的，而对于农民来说，他们自身的权益保护，以及中国的工会工作都做的特不好，所以背后也没有什么人充分保护他们的利益。”
黄琦说，农民工讨薪无果时，往往会到政府门部维权，但又遭到各种推诿，绝望之际他们采取堵路、跳楼、自焚、示威等方式维权，又被政府认为是闹事，出动警力镇压，在这样的恶性循环下，导致大陆讨薪事件每年都在爆发式增长。

Lunar New Year Is Coming,
Migrant Workers Are Asking For Pay
As the Lunar New Year is approaching, the migrant workers
are struggling to be paid throughout the nation, there are
at least dozens of incidents of workers and migrant workers
asking for pay happening in China.
Recently, it even triggered several bloody incidents.
Commentators analyse that, this phenomenon highlights the
helplessness and frustration of the underlying population,
as well as the cold-blooded and unscrupulous collusion
that wantonly bullies the vulnerable groups.
According to incomplete statistics, at least dozens to
hundreds of mass incidents about rights protection occurr
throughout China every day.
From Feb. 3-5, there were around two hundreds rights
protection incidents occurring daily, and the incidents of
asking for pay accounted for more than half.
On the morning of Feb. 5, the trial of Suzhou resident
Fan Mugen’s relocation case started.
Seventy to eighty migrant workers from “Yuan Xing Packing
Factory" who failed to get paid were pulling banners and
defending their rights in front of Suzhou Intermediate
People’s Court, and were all being arrested.
Human right activist who was at the scene, Yin Xu’an:
When they were unrolling the banner, a large group of
special police rushed forward and took their banners away.
Then they began to arrest people, the leader was being take
to a small car, the rest of the people were taken to a bus.
On the same morning, dozens of migrant workers were
requiring the government to assist them to get paid
in front of Shuangliu County government, Sichuan.
Landless peasant in Shuangliu County, Zhou Yanqiong: I heard
that they went there yesterday and today, two days in a row.
One farmer said that those migrant workers involved in
millions of wages, and they were asking for the government
to step in, the government did not, and there were police
violently driving them away.
Three hundred workers from Zhangxin garment factory
in Dachang County, Langfang, Heibei Province went to the
county government to ask for assistance in their wage claim
since Jan. 16, but the government locked the door.
Worker of Zhangxin garment factory, Chen Xin:
Yesterday (Feb. 4) we went to the county government again,
but it did not open the door for the whole day.
It locked its doors from morning to night, not allowing
workers to enter and meet us.
On Feb. 3, thousands of construction workers of Xiangyun
Real Estate in Shijiazhuang went to Heibei provincial
government to ask for their unpaid wages owed by the
developer, large numbers of police were guarding.
On Feb. 2, more than two hundred migrant workers whose
wages were owed for more than one year in Yunnan Province
went to the government for assistance, and were beaten by a
large number of police, at least six of them were injured.
In addition, bloody incidents that triggered by migrant
workers’ wages claim are occurring throughout the nation.
On Feb. 3, coal miners in Yan’an, Shanxi, used explosives to
kill a labour contractor in his own car with the
suspected motive of fruitless wages claims.
On Jan. 31, a 38-year-old labour contractor Li Hangui was
killed by contractor’s men on his way to a construction site.
At the end of last year, Zhou Xiuyun, a migrant worker from
Henan, was brutally killed by police when she was asking for
pay at the construction site in Taiyuan, Shanxi.
The online video has shown that a fat policeman was tightly
stepping on the hair of Zhou Xiuyun who was lying
on the ground.
On Jan. 19, a 13-year-old girl from the 16th floor was unable
to get her father’s wages.
Huang Qi, the founder of 64tianwang analysed that, the
frequent blood incidents of migrant workers’ wages claim
highlighted the underlying population’s
helplessness and frustration.
It also shows the cold-blooded and unscrupulous collusion
that wantonly bullied the vulnerable groups.
Huang Qi: In mainland China, the protection of vulnerable
groups is inadequate.
Businesses and enterprises are usually colluding with the
government, and they are very powerful in the local area.
Farmers have inadequate protection for their own interests,
and China’s trade unions are doing a bad job, therefore,
there is no one to fully protect their interests.
Huang Qi stated that, migrant workers usually go to ask the
government to protect their interests when their wage claims
failed, and then encounter all kinds of prevarication.
Full of desperation, they use road blocking, jumping off a
building, self-immolation and protests to defend their rights.
However, the government would consider these as
disturbances, and dispatch police to suppress.
This vicious cycle caused the explosive growth of incidents
of wage claims in mainland China every year.
