Large crowds gathered on Jan. 11 outside a local human resource and social security bureau in Guangzhou, protesting against a sudden reduction in payments to their personal medical insurance accounts, according to a video of the protest posted online.
This is the most recent protest in a series of mass rallies in the city, the commercial hub in southern China and the seat of Guangdong Province. Some participants told the Chinese language edition of The Epoch Times that they have been protesting since the payment reductions began in December.
