While Liaoyang Ferroalloy began their protests at the city government and demanded a government response, the Daqing oilfield workers have from the beginning focussed their demonstrations on their enterprise, the Daqing Petroleum Administration Bureau, and demanded talks with the top management of the enterprise.
