A person with a hearing disability is suing the Guangzhou Disabled Persons' Federation and the Guangzhou Bureau of Finance to force both agencies to release information on how the city is spending a fund specifically designed for helping disabled people.

Li Yang, who suffers from hearing problems, submitted the lawsuit, the first of its kind in Guangdong province, on Monday because he said both agencies were not transparent in how they have managed an employment security fund.

The lawsuit was submitted to Guangzhou's Tianhe District People's Court.
