In the election on May 9, Chen Huibin won, but the other candidate, Wu Haining, cried foul. As Chen was preparing for a five-year term as the local delegate, starting with the fourth Nanshan District People’s Congress held on May 27, Wu claimed the election was fraudulent and reported it to the Shenzhen and Nanshan District People’s Congress Standing Committee.

2003 June 13, Ivy Zhang, “Was the Right Person Elected?”, in Beijing Today, number 108, →OCLC, page 8, column 1:

Shenzhen’s Nanshan District is scattered with state-of-the-art high-rises, impressive corporate headquarters, government buildings, five-star hotels, and fancy shopping malls.

2012, Behzad Yaghmaian, The Accidental Capitalist: A People's Story of the New China, Pluto Press, →ISBN, →OCLC, →OL, page 160:

On Tuesday, the Shenzhen Nanshan District Court sentenced Wang Jianmin, 63, to five years and three months in jail and Guo Zhongxiao, 41, to two years and three months, Wang’s lawyer, Chen Nansha, said.[...]
The Shenzhen Nanshan District Court, district government and foreign affairs office did not immediately respond to a request comment. The Hong Kong police said arrests in mainland China were outside of their jurisdiction.
