A series of small blasts have killed at least one person outside a provincial office of the ruling Communist Party in northern China, state media report.

The blasts in Taiyuan in Shanxi province appeared to have been caused by home-made bombs, Xinhua reported.

It said eight people had been injured and two cars damaged.

Photos posted on social media showed smoke and several fire engines at the scene of the incident, which happened around 07:40 local time (23:40 GMT).

"Several small explosive devices went off at Taiyuan's Yingze Street near the provincial party office," Shanxi police said in a post on their verified microblog.

"Provincial leaders went to the scene immediately, and police are currently investigating the case," the post added.

'Seven loud blasts'

Steel balls were found scattered at the scene, suggesting they had been used in a homemade bomb, Xinhua reported.

Car windows were shattered at the site of the blasts

Fire engines were deployed to the scene of the blasts

Police cordoned off the street as they investigated the case

The explosive devices were hidden in roadside flower beds, according to Chinese state television.

However, two witnesses told Xinhua they saw a minivan exploding, sending car debris flying.

Eyewitnesses also told Xinhua they heard "seven loud blasts", and saw a large amount of smoke at the site.

Photos posted on microblog Sina Weibo appeared to show cars windows and tyres that were damaged as a result of the blasts.

Taiyuan police said in a verified microblog post that two-way traffic was restored on Yingze Street at 10:30 local time (02:30 GMT).

No immediate explanation has been given for the incident. There have been occasions in the past where disgruntled citizens have targeted local government institutions.

Tensions are also high in the wake of last week's incident in Beijing. A car ploughed into a crowd in Tiananmen Square in what the authorities said was a terrorist attack by extremists from the western region of Xinjiang.

Later this week, the Communist Party's top officials will meet in Beijing to start a major economic planning meeting.

This seems to be done in protest against CCP policies or local Govt. In the past also this type of things happened.

Terrorists are nobody's friends.

Are you ready China to taste the medicine created by the zionists, like they created communism to divide Korea, Vietnam, China...

Think what you want about communism, but the fact that the JEWS create all the times new totalitarian and terrorists movements to dominate the world, make that the world is always at war.

It has killed millions of people, making the countries be late for at least 50 years of development

They will again kill millions of people to destroy the movement that they have themselves created because they don't need it anymore

The wars are only good for the JEWS banks

Still have no clue about the motivation. I guess it's a revenge on CPC...

I do not think China wanted communism, but I believe forced upon the nation. If the Zionists you mentioned controls most of the world's money, a post war China was poor and probably needed their money to revive the nation.

But the price may be too high.
