    A strike is reported to have broken out on July 21, 2010 at the Guangzhou, Guangdong plant of Japanese electronics firm Omron.

    Workers at the plant are said to be demanding a salary increase of 40%: equivalent to a rise of CNY500 per month from the current average wage of CNY1,270.

    A spokesman for Omron Guangzhou said that the number of employees going on a strike was between 200 and 300. However a representative of the strikers said the number was as high as 400 to 500.

    In 2005, the Japanese firm established its Chinese automotive electronics components production base, Omron (Guangzhou) Automotive Electronics Company.

    Since May 2010, a number of foreign companies with factories in Guangzhou have reported strikes by workers demanding higher pay.
