Beijing : Rioters injured more than 200 people, burned 24 shops and 81 vehicles in a March 16 riot in the Aba Tibetan-Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of southwestern Sichuan Province, China’s Xinhua news agency quoted an official as saying.
The official from the prefecture told a press conference here on Thursday that two public security office buildings were also burned during the violence.
“The economic loss from the smashing, looting and arson amounts to more than 10 years of the Aba county’s fiscal revenue,” said Xiao Youcai, vice governor of the prefecture.
