Two storage tanks at the plant in Zhangzhou caught fire yesterday after the original blaze was distinguished¹ a day earlier.

Authorities say the newest fire is under control.

However, strong winds have been making it difficult to keep the fire contained.

Police and soldiers have helped evacuate² some 29-thousand people living near the plant.

Officials say no excessive pollution is being detected at the villages where the people have been moved from.

The Chinese government is promising³ reforms to both the welfare and wage payment systems.

The move is meant to address issues arising from labor⁴ disputes.

New guidelines say steps will be taken to make sure employees are paid on-time, and in full.

Programs are also going to be established to offer guaranteed financial support for migrant workers.

They are often the victims of unscrupulous employers.

At the same time, the new regulations will ensure employees will be given holidays without compromising their wages.
