BEIJING, June 12 (Xinhua) -- Thirteen crew members were saved by a government rescue team after their vessel became flooded in seawaters near the city of Weihai in east China's Shandong Province, the Ministry of Transport (MOT) said Sunday.

According to the MOT's Rescue Bureau, the fishing vessel "Lurongyu0381," with 13 people on board, became flooded in waters some 50 km to the northeast of Weihai at around 10:56 a.m. Sunday.

After detecting a rescue signal sent out by the ship's crew, the Rescue Bureau dispatched two helicopters from the North China No. 1 Relief Flight Team, stationed in airports in the cities of Penglai and Dalian, to save the sailors.

The helicopters finished retrieving the sailors at around 1:00 p.m. and landed at an airport in Weihai half an hour later.

Nobody was hurt during the accident, according to the MOT.

BEIJING - The Chinese Ministry of Public Security announced on Saturday that the mainland and Taiwan have started a joint police investigation to find the culprits behind a spate of telecom swindles.

Working with their counterparts from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, the officials have detained 186 mainlanders, 410 Taiwan residents, one Cambodian and one Vietnamese - 598 suspects in total.

Mainland and Taiwan police, with help from police in several Southeast Asian countries, have destroyed 106 bases of the swindling operations and captured the bankcards, computers, cell phones and other belongings of suspects in the case.

Telecom swindling, a new type of crime in which people are cheated through the use of telecommunication devices, has claimed many victims in recent years.

ZENGCHENG, China (Reuters) – Riot police poured into a southern Chinese factory town crowded with migrant workers on Monday, a day after militia fired tear gas to quell rioting over the abuse of a pregnant street hawker who became a symbol of simmering grassroots discontent.

Hong Kong television showed crowds of workers and stall holders, many from the rural southwestern province of Sichuan running through the streets of Zengcheng in Guangdong province over the weekend.

The rioters smashed windows, set fire to government buildings and overturned police vehicles, bringing to a climax anger over security guards who had set upon the hawker, Wang Lianmei, on Friday. Footage showed riot police firing tear gas and deploying armored vehicles to disperse the crowds, and handcuffing protesters.

By Monday evening the unrest had subsided. But hundreds of riot police guarded the streets, and continued arriving by the busload, while wary workers watched on street corners.

Though protests have become relatively common over anything from corruption to abuse of power, the ruling Communist Party is sensitive to any possible threat to its hold on power in the wake of the protests that have swept the Arab world.

Guangdong is also a pillar of China's export industries, and persistent unrest there could unnerve buyers and investors.

Witnesses said more than 1,000 protesters had besieged at least one government office in Zengcheng.

"People were running around like crazy," a shop owner in the area told the South China Morning Post. "I had to shut the shop by 7 p.m. and dared not come out."

News reports said the incident was sparked on Friday night when security personnel in nearby Dadun village pushed pregnant hawker Wang, 20, to the ground while trying to clear her from the streets.

"The case was just an ordinary clash between street vendors and local public security people, but was used by a handful of people who wanted to cause trouble," Zengcheng Mayor Ye Niuping was quoted as saying by the China Daily newspaper.

Other clashes have erupted in southern China in recent weeks, including in Chaozhou, where hundreds of migrant workers demanding payment of their wages at a ceramics factory attacked government buildings and set vehicles ablaze.

Last week, protests erupted in central China at the death under interrogation of an official.

Over the weekend, state media said that two people were slightly injured in an explosion in Beijing's neighboring city Tianjin, set off by a man bent on "revenge against society."

Despite pervasive censorship and government controls, word of protests, along with often dramatic pictures, spreads fast in China on mobile telephones and the Internet, especially on popular microblogging sites.

In 2007, China had over 80,000 "mass incidents," up from over 60,000 in 2006, according to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Many involved no more than dozens protesting against local officials over complaints about corruption, abuse of power, pollution or poor wages.

No authoritative estimates of the number of protests, riots and mass petitions since then have been released.

Guangdong's Communist Party boss, Wang Yang, is one of the ambitious provincial leaders who may win a place in China's next central leadership, after President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao retire from power from late next year.

In past months, Wang has sought to cast himself as a moderate leader willing to heed ordinary citizens' gripes, and has said his priority is improving the public sense of wellbeing -- a gentler message than the hardline one that domestic security officials have pushed.

"Use rule of law to protect and realize people's democratic rights," Wang told a meeting in April, according to the official Xinhua news agency. "People don't fear poverty; what they fear is not having the market conditions for fair competition so that they can achieve prosperity."

Also in April, the Communist Party committee of Guangdong heard a lecture from Sun Liping, a sociologist from Tsinghua University in Beijing who has bluntly warned that corruption, inequality and divisions threaten to "rupture" Chinese society.
