Bomb blasts on two buses in the southern Chinese city of Kunming on Monday killed at least two people and injured 14, just two and a half weeks before the country is to host the Olympic Games.
The bombs went off within an hour of each other, according to local police, who said the explosions were set deliberately but did not identify any suspects or suggest a motive.
With the Olympics rapidly approaching, Chinese leaders have exhorted government and security officials across the country to ensure no unexpected events, including expressions of dissent, mar Beijing’s sporting spectacle.
Kunming is thousands of kilometres from Beijing, where security is so tight that locals and visitors complain about the numerous inconveniences. But the explosions are a worrying sign of rising unrest just as the world’s athletes and media are preparing to descend on the country.
In recent weeks the country has seen a jump in the number of reported protests, riots, bombings and attacks on officials and security forces.
Late last month in Guizhou province, a mob of up to 30,000 people attacked government offices and fought pitched battles with riot squads after police allegedly covered up the rape and murder of a teenage girl to protect relatives of senior officials suspected in the crime.
Since then riots stemming from grievances against local Communist Party officials have been reported in at least four other locations across the country.
On Saturday, police killed at least two rubber farmers and injured 13 others during a riot in Yunnan province close to the border with Burma in which about 500 farmers attacked police with knives and steel bars, according to state media reports.
The police had come to arrest five farmers involved in a long-running dispute with a local rubber company but the farmers turned on them, injuring 41 officers and destroying eight police cars in the ensuing violence, the reports said.
Kunming’s transport services have introduced emergency checks and all passengers are required to open bags for inspection, according to an official with Kunming No 2 Bus Company, which operates other bus routes in the city.
