‘Property confiscated’
Angry villagers targeted several local government offices in Shapi township in Guangxi, setting fires and destroying public property, local residents were quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.
At least one person was injured in clashes after riot police were called in, Hong Kong’s Ming Pao Daily News newspaper said.
"The farmers were really angry because the family planning team was going around to homes and making farmers pay fines if they had too many kids," one local resident told AFP.
"If the farmers had no money they took things from them," the resident said.
