Citing China Strikes
Anyone is welcome to draw on the data here in China Strikes, provided the website is properly cited. Please use the following citation format or some variation that includes these elements:
Elfstrom, Manfred. 2017. China Strikes [Computer File]. Available at: https://chinastrikes.crowdmap.com.
Take note, though, of the limitations of the data: this is by no means a comprehensive list of strikes and protests by Chinese workers. Neither is the more up-tod-date China Labour Bulletin map. Estimates of the true number of incidents occurring per year reach into the tens of thousands. "Verified" reports are only verified as having occurred---specific details in the reports, which are drawn from a variety of sources, may be inaccurate.
