Abstract: Abstract On July 24, 2009, after learning the merger of their company and Jianlong Heavy Industry Group would lead to their layoffs, about 1000 employees of Jilin Tonghua Steel Group started a riot, and it lasted for 10 hours. The general manager of the new corporation, who used to be the vice CEO of Jianlong Group, Chen Guojun, was beaten to death in Jianlong Group’s offices while confronting a group of workers who were against the merger. That evening, Jilin Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission announced that Jianlong Group would no longer be involved in the restructuring of Jilin Tonghua Steel Group. Herein, an attempt at restructuring in the steel industry ended tragically, and the result was “people went forward, the state compromised”.
