A-Infos (en) Anarchism in China http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Anarchism+in+China

Status today ---- Overtly anarchist organizing has ceased to be a factor in 
modern Chinese politics due to the heavy repression levied against 
anti-authoritarians by the Maoist state since the time of the Cultural 
Revolution. However, as an underground resistance movement anarchism remains 
influential. Libertarian socialist and Anarchist communist currents have been 
particularly strong in the anti-dictatorship movement and in China's underground 
Labor Movement. The best known of these in the Western world is the Autonomous 
Beijing group, one of several groups responsible for organizing the Tiananmen 
Square protests of 1989. More recently, the Associated press has reported the 
emergence of a distinctly anarchist labor movement in China's old industrial 
rust-belt and a growing number of assassinations of communist party officials 
and factory bosses by disgruntled workers. Unfortunately, due to the extreme 
censorship imposed by the government of the People's Republic of China, it is 
nearly impossible to accurately catalogue the ideological motivations and 
affiliations of such movements and groups.
