The protesters filled streets with chants condemning official corruption and demanding better treatment. "We have a government of hooligans," read one of their banners. Back then the decaying north-east appeared to be one of China's most unstable regions. Today it is among the fastest-growing, and is relatively free of large-scale unrest. But officials still fret. In early 2002, just as now, the Communist Party was getting ready for changes in its leadership later in the year. The labour unrest in the north-east, once a proud bastion of state-owned industry that had been ravaged since the 1990s by factory closures and millions of lay-offs, alarmed and embarrassed the party at such a sensitive political time. The outgoing party chief, Jiang Zemin, was trying to promote a new catchphrase for the party called the "three represents", including the notion that the party represented "the fundamental interests of the majority". The workers who took to the streets in the spring of 2002, in the cities of Daqing, Fushun and Liaoyang were in effect saying that the party did not represent them and had indeed failed them.
