China: Oil Workers Revolt Over Drilling Rights
Business Brokerage BEIJING -- Their battle cry was ''Get to Work'' and they came in three shifts, but the Chinese oil drillers weren't brandishing their crowbars and wooden sticks as tools.

Business Broker The November 19 incident, still under investigation, was the latest flare-up in the Yanan county of Ansai between local government oil men and state conglomerate Changqing.
Brokerage Account ''But it's never been this serious,'' an official at the Ansai County Oil Drilling Company, which admits spearheading the attack, told reporters.
Stock Broker The disputed fields lie some 50km from the caves in Shaanxi province where Mao, seeking a safe haven after the 1934-36 Long March, coined the phrase ''serve the people.''
Brokerage Online Stock Trading The locals, booted from the fields on a daily basis before violence broke out, stewed over a lag in implementing a special 1994 deal aimed at breaking up Changqing's legal monopoly over the poor region's chief natural resource.
Broker Justin Ticket ''They are a powerful and bullying state-owned giant and they have state media on their side,'' the Ansai official said.
Real Estate Brokerage Changqing's parent, state giant PetroChina, tells a different story.
Commodity Broker ''The nature of this is very clear,'' PetroChina Deputy Director-General Cao Yanzheng told reporters. ''We own the rights to these deposits and they infringed on those rights. Then they took violent action, so that's a further violation of the law.''
Brokerage House Malcontent workers and feisty local outfits have long coveted the oil in northern Shaanxi.
Real Estate Broker Exam At least a decade ago, a slew of drillers sponsored by local governments began to carve pieces of the pie away from sheepish state monoliths illegally. Little regulated, they compounded Yanan's economic and social turmoil by plundering the wells.
Brokerage Services The State Council, China's cabinet, intervened in 1994, brokering a deal that opened 500 sq km of Changqing land in six Yanan counties to other drillers.
Broker Live Ticket Called Agreement 413, it was to be a ''land for peace'' trade-off, said the Guangzhou-based newspaper Southern Weekend.
Online Brokerage Firm Yet certain boundaries were never finalised and drillers like Ansai had yet to cash in.

Freight Brokerage ''Our people did smash their cars this time, but we did not hurt anybody. We know the law,'' said the official.
Broker Lie Ticket In neighbouring areas there have been even fiercer stand-offs involving Changqing, the Yanan police chief told reporters.
4th Boost Brokerage By ''Last year in Wuqi County a peasant was killed,'' he said.
Florida Mortgage Broker In the middle of the fray is Yanan, a city anxious to protect local interests but keenly aware that regionalism is a sin in the WTO-era akin to feudalism in Mao's heyday.
Insurance Brokerage On the city's other flank lies Changqing, whose huge stake in the area includes a new 720 million yuan ($US87 million), 460-km gas and oil pipeline to PetroChina's petrochemical plant in Xianyang, 250 km south.
Online Broker Changqing fields produced 4.6 million tonnes of crude oil and 2.056 billion cubic metres of natural gas last year, five times the amount local amateurs could drill, Sanlian said, citing analysts.
Brokerage Company Not that Yanan collects taxes from the PetroChina subsidiary.
Broker Lonely Ticket ''We don't end up seeing any local benefits,'' Yanan mayor Zhang Shenian told Sanlian.
Commodity Brokerage Yanan's impotence was reflected by a criminal probe which, according to the police chief, aimed ''not to say who was right and who wrong, but to assess who owes what.''
New York Ticket Broker The incident has dented the armour of a town which still reckons itself a bastion of the collectivist ethics Mao devised there in the 1930s.
Prime Brokerage ''This is simply denigrating,'' fumed mayor Zhang. ''It's hurt Yanan and Ansai county's image.''
Real Estate Agent Broker The local favouritism and fragmentation underlying the incident could give China a bad WTO image, lamented Southern Weekend.
Yacht Brokerage ''As China enters the WTO, and the call for equality under the rubric of market economics is riding high, places which enjoy 'special treatment' will be called into question more and more.''
