About 500 container truck drivers protested for a second day at Shanghai's port against rising transport fees and higher fuel prices, according to reports.
Hundreds of drivers began a three-day protest yesterday blockading a dockyard and preventing trucks carrying cargo from entering, the report said, citing a logistics company employee.
They smashed the windows of trucks of the drivers who wouldn't take part in the protest, the report said. Police arrested as many as nine people when they tried to overturn a car, the agency said, citing a trucking company owner.
The drivers complained about new fees charged by the private warehouse operators and rising fuel prices, according to the report.
Several calls made to the Shanghai government's media department weren't answered. A person answered the phone at the police department after work hours declined to comment.
