[SHANGHAI] Operations in the eastern Chinese port of Ningbo returned to normal after a strike involving thousands of truck drivers disrupted services last week, the city's transportation association said on Sunday. The strike, which started over salary and haulage rates, involved thousands of workers who clashed with police, preventing logistics firms from sending containers in and out of the port - the world's sixth busiest.

The Ningbo Transport Association said transport operations had returned to normal, adding that 6,540 trucks had moved in and out of the area between 1600 GMT on Saturday and 0600 GMT on Sunday. Container transport rates also returned to normal levels on Sunday, updates on the port's official microblog account showed. - Reuters
