Riots break out following ethnic tensions in China Eighteen jailed after a traffic accident instigates violence; residents say seven are dead, 42 injured BYAUDRAANG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LANGCHENGGANG, China — Police by the thousands patrolled this central Chinese town Monday and residents hunkered down in their homes after deadly street fights between members of the country’s main ethnic group and a Muslim minority. On Monday, minivans with loud speakers strapped to their roofs drove through the dirt roads of Langchenggang and neighboring villages in Henan province. As many as 5,000 people fought with sticks and burned several houses over the weekend in vio lence between Hui Muslims and members of the Han ethnic majori ty, according to Langchenggang res idents. The fighting killed seven people and injured 42, according to resi dents and the government. Authorities imposed martial law on the area in Zhongmou County near the city of Zhengzhou, resi dents said. Eighteen people were arrested, the government said late Monday in its first official word on the fighting. The statement, carried by the Xin hua News Agency, didn’t mention the ethnicities of the rioters. The government said the violence began after members of two fami lies from separate villages fought over a traffic dispute. “Afterward, residents of both vil lages assembled with weapons,” the Xinhua report said. “One villager was beaten to death on the spot and two died in the hospital one day later. ” A spokesman for the county gov ernment, Liang Songzhou, said the traffic dispute involved a collision between two farm vehicles, one driven by a Han and the other by a Hui. Today’s Hui are descended from ethnic Chinese who converted to Is lam generations ago. Han Chinese make up more than 90 percent of China’s 1.3 billion people. China has 55 officially recognized ethnic groups. China suffers occasional ethnic tensions, though the level of vio lence isn’t clear because the com munist government, eager to main tain the narrative of unity it has long trumpeted, routinely suppress es reports of social conflict. Tensions are worse in China’s poor countryside, home to some 800 million people. Economic com petition, disputes over scarce farm land and control of lucrative gov ernment posts often combine to cause unrest. In December 2000, at least five Hui were shot and killed by police during protests in the eastern province of Shandong after a dis pute over a Han butcher advertising “Muslim pork.” Muslim dietary laws forbid the eating of pork. On Monday, police officers lined the roads into Langchenggang be ginning six miles from town. They stopped cars at checkpoints and turned some away. At least four for eign reporters who visited the area were detained. Residents sat outside shabby brick homes beside piles of drying corn and watched silently as trucks and tour buses full of police officers roared through the main road that runs through the villages. There was no visible unrest, though shattered glass was strewn across the road in Weitan, a village adjacent to Langchenggang. Vil lagers said the debris was left over from an altercation between sol diers and a group of men, but it wasn’t clear whether the men were Hui or Han. In its report, The New York Times said the violence erupted after a Han girl was struck and killed by a Hui taxi driver. An accountant in the town who would give only his surname, Liu, said the fighting began after three Hui men in a car beat up a 17-year old Han boy who blocked the street. Liu said that confrontation escalat ed until a group of 400 to 500 Hui came from a nearby town and large scale clashes took place. “A lot of people were carrying clubs to fight. They set fire to sever al houses,” said another Langcheng gang resident surnamed Liu, who was not related to the accountant. “Right now, there are lots of police. The local government is allowing residents to move around, but everyone is afraid of going out.” iter 220 Hendricks Hall ♦ 541.346 3235 http://uocareer.uoregon.edu UNIVERSITY OF OUKOON hBFcnN nanv fiuifbai n yPTtr independent student newspaper
