A strike broke out at Qiao Feng Technology Industrial Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen, Guangdong on 17 March, 2024. Workers gathered in front of the factory gates to protest relocation, demanding legal compensation and unpaid social insurance payments. Videos and pictures on Douyin showed workers blocking a large truck. Workers sat in front of the factory and the protest extended into the next day. On the afternoon of 18 March, some workers posted on Douyin reporting that due to the government’s intervention, the factory temporarily halted the relocation. The factory management stated that they would move the machinery and equipment back, allowing workers to return to their normal work.
