SHAOGUAN, Guangdong: In stark contrast to the deadly brawl on its grounds on June 26 that allegedly sparked the latest riots in the Xinjiang regional capital of Urumqi, peace fell upon the toy factory in Shaoguan, Guangdong province, yesterday.

No police cars or security forces were at the scene. No security guards attempted to stop reporters from entering the factory.

But on June 26, the factory was the scene of a fight involving hundreds of people. The riots began about 2 am, leaving two dead and 118 injured.
