Foxconn Technology Group confirmed Thursday some 20 employees were still on strike at its Chongqing plant in Southwest China Tomas Hertl Sharks Jersey , after around 1,000 striking employees returned to work following discussions on Wednesday.

A labor group said workers went on strike to demand higher wages.

"A small group of 20 employees at that same facility carried out a similar labor action earlier today, and we are working with the labor union and the employees to resolve this matter," Foxconn Martin Jones Sharks Jersey , a contract electronics manufacturer for multinational companies such as Apple Inc and Hewlett-Packard (HP), said in a statement e-mailed to the Global Times on Thursday.

US-based labor watchdog China Labor Watch (CLW) said Wednesday that workers demonstrated holding banners including one that read, "We aren't robots. We need to eat and feed our family."

The employees returned to work approximately four hours later on Wednesday following discussions and agreements between the employees, representatives from the labor union Joonas Donskoi Sharks Jersey , and management of the employees' business group, Foxconn said, noting that production at its Chongqing campus had not been affected by the action.

Foxconn did not specify the reasons for the strike. According to CLW, the company has significantly reduced workers' overtime hours because of lower production orders from HP at the Chongqing plant.

A large portion of Foxconn workers' wages comes from overtime pay Joe Pavelski Sharks Jersey , and without lots of overtime, take-home pay for workers rarely meets a living wage standard, CLW noted.

The strike is the second of its kind this year at Foxconn's Chongqing plant, which was put into operation in 2010 for mainly producing laptops Mikkel Boedker Womens Jersey , related to a reduction in HP orders. In June, about 800 workers at the plant went on a three-day strike to demand proper severance package.

HP did not response to queries from the Global Times on Thursday. The US firm announced Monday that it will split into two companies, with one focused on PCs and printers and the other conducting corporate hardware and services business.

"There is no direct connection between the split-up and the strike. The business prospect for PCs is not optimistic, and HP is adjusting its strategy in accordance with market demand Tim Heed Womens Jersey ," Wang Jiping, a senior analyst at research firm IDC, told the Global Times Thursday.

Worldwide PC shipments declined 0.5 percent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2014. In Asia-Pacific, PC shipments fell 5.3 percent from a year earlier Melker Karlsson Womens Jersey , according to preliminary results released by IT consultancy Gartner on Wednesday.

But HP remained the world's second-largest PC maker, following Chinese rival Lenovo, with 14.2 million worldwide shipments in the third quarter of this year, up 4.4 percent year-on-year Kevin Labanc Womens Jersey , according to Gartner. "The growth was mainly driven by demand in the US and Europe," Wang noted.

BEIJING， March 2 (Xinhua) -- Having made headlines at the Davos World Economic Forum with his vigorous defense of globalization， Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to take the spotlight in another gathering with global influence: the "two sessions" in Beijing.

The fifth session of the 12th National People's Congress (NPC)， and the fifth session of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference， will open on March 5 and March 3， respectively.

The annual sessions of the top legislature and top political advisory body are among the most important political events for the world's second largest economy.

The NPC is the highest body of state power， enabling the Chinese people to exercise their power as "the master of state." New state leaders will be elected at the NPC session in March 2018 after the 19th Communist Party of China (CPC) National Congress elects a new Party leadership later this year.

It was at the first session of the 12th NPC in March 2013 that Xi was elected president. He had been elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee in November the previous year at the 18th CPC National Congress.

This year's two sessions are the first since Xi was endorsed as the core of the CPC Central Committee last October.

"Through the meetings， greater consensus will be gathered to build a moderately prosperous society and Xi's thoughts on state governance will be more clear-cut，" said Xin Ming， a professor with the Party School of the CPC Central Committee.

Over the past four years， Xi's governance thoughts have been guiding China's development. The book "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China，" a collection of his speeches， provides insight into his concepts， resolve and wisdom of governance. More than six million copies have been distributed worldwide.

Officials at all levels should align their thinking with Xi's strategic blueprint， the "four comprehensives，" which is a four-pronged strategy to achieve a moderately prosperous society， deepen reform， advance rule of law and govern the Party strictly.

For China， the strategy creates routes to build a socialist modern country.

For observers， Xi's speeches and policy initiatives at the "two sessions" will send important signals about how China will march toward what Xi called， the "great dream of revitalizing the Chinese nation."

STRONG LEADERSHIP

Xi's governance thoughts， ranging from economic and social reform to foreign affairs and military transformation， have been greatly influencing the country's course.

In the economic sphere， Xi has led the country to achieve a remarkable growth. The country remains the top engine of global growth， with the International Monetary Fund predicting China's contribution would account for 39 percent of the world's economic expansion in 2016.

China reported 6.7 percent GDP growth in 2016，.
