News just came in that workers at Foxconn's Taiyuan plant have started a riot in the wee hours in China, and that police forces are on site to control the crowd. While the motive isn't clear, Sina Weibo user Li Tian reports that the riot isn't related to the recent anti-Japan protests, though judging by his photos, much damage has been done in the process. Unofficial reports are claiming the “2,000-people” riot was triggered by security guards hitting a worker at 10pm local time. The same site suffered from a strike back in March over salary dispute — the front-line workers failed to receive the promised pay rise.
