On July 22, in Jinjiang, Fujian, workers from a Xtep subcontractor factory went to the local government to demand their unpaid wages, under heavy police “protection.” Due to Xtep’s long-term failure to pay for goods, the Shunchao (Super Cup) shoe factory went bankrupt in early July. Since July 8, workers have been protesting for days to claim their back wages, but to no avail so far.
