7月2日至30日，河北秦皇岛海港区西盐务村数百名村民（同时也是燕山实业公司工人）持续维权，抗议原西盐务村书记、燕山实业有限公司前董事长李连弟及其妻、时任财务总监杨绍银在任期间大肆变卖集体资产，造成资产大量流失，并连续三年未向工人发放工资。
From July 2 to 30, hundreds of villagers from Xiyanwu Village in Haigang District, Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province—who are also workers of Yanshan Industrial Company—held a month-long protest. They accused former village Party secretary and ex-chairman of Yanshan Industrial, Li Liandi, along with his wife, Yang Shaoyin, the company’s former chief financial officer, of massively selling off collective assets during their tenure, leading to severe asset losses and unpaid wages for workers for three consecutive years.
