Boxun reports that Tianjin worker’s rights defender Luo Xi said that after a tense 1.5 hour standoff with Tianjin police–due to the intense scrutiny on this matter by netizens both domestic and international and the pressure it brought to bear on the Tianjin municipal government–the police retreated and government representatives were sent to negotiate. The negotiation continued until 1:30 p.m., at which time the Tianjin Engineering Administration Department agreed on a settlement to injured worker Wang Chao of 120,000 yuan (US$17,640).
