On Sunday, December 20 2015, a massive landslide struck an industrial park in Shenzhen, southern China. The landslide covered more than 100,000 square metres at the Hengtaiyu Industrial Park in Guangming New District. Residents suggested that illegal dumping of construction waste, which they said had been rife over the last few years, could have been a factor in the disaster.
