BEIJING, March 12 (Reuters) - A man claiming to have a bomb entered the Reuters news bureau in Beijing on Wednesday, demanding to be interviewed on camera about corruption in the Chinese government.
He burst into the newsroom at around 10:30 a.m. (0230 GMT) shouting "no one move, no one move".
The man, wearing a black knee-length winter coat and sunglasses, was carrying a black bag slung around his neck with wires hanging from it. His thumb was on a red button.
Around half the staff in the office escaped as the man rushed in. After about an hour four Reuters foreign correspondents and aChinese cameraman remained in the newsroom.
"I am doing this for justice," said the man, who gave his name as Fang Qinghui.
Police with submachine guns marched into the building, a high-rise office block in eastern Beijing.
One policeman in a flak jacket poked his head around the door of the newsroom and then disappeared.
Fang, who appeared to be in his thirties, said he was a former driver from a steel factory in northern Heilongjiang province and had been unemployed for five to six years.
He asked for coverage of his concerns and a television crew set up its equipment and filmed him.
"Leaders should respect, protect and love the workers," the man said, as he kept his thumb on the button.
"I want the whole world to know how black China is, how corrupt it is."
Fang later spoke to the police by telephone.
BUILDING EVACUATED
Police sealed off the area with yellow tape and evacuated hundreds of workers from the building. Evacuees gathered in the parking lot of a nearby flower market. At least four red fire trucks were drawn up alongside police vehicles.
China, seeking to modernise its economy, has undertaken reforms to develop the private sector, while maintaining political control in the Communist Party.
The changes have led to layoffs of hundreds of thousands of workers from state-owned firms, particularly in the rust belt in northern China. Many firms have gone bankrupt.
China's parliament, the People's Congress, is currently holding its annual session in Beijing, at which it is finalising a change in leadership that will propel Hu Jintao to the presidency.
The Chinese government has become increasingly worried about a widening gulf between rich and poor.
Outgoing Premier Zhu Rongji used his farewell address to parliament last week to warn that stagnating incomes in the countryside and huge layoffs at state factories in the cities could lead to social unrest and undermine the economy.
