Police in Chaoyang referred all queries to the district government, where phones rang unanswered. Calls to the company said to be developing Zhengyang also went unanswered.
State-owned English-language newspaper the Global Times reported that the head of Chaoyang district had vowed to oversee an investigation and ordered local leaders to safeguard the artists.
A local township official promised the police would find out who was responsible, adding: “I can assure you, the township government had nothing to do with the incident.”
