JAKARTA, May 13 (Reuters) - At least 10 people died in riots in Jakarta on Wednesday, nine of them believed to be Chinese, burned when mobs set their shops and homes on fire, residents in the western area of the Indonesian capital said.

A man was also seen dead outside West Jakarta's Trisakti University, where six students were killed on Tuesday in clashes with security forces during anti-government demonstrations.

Residents said the dead Chinese had been trapped in shops or homes attacked by the mob in a mixed residential and commercial area northwest of Trisakti University on the south side of the toll road to Jakarta's international airport. There was no immediate police comment.

A Reuters television cameraman earlier saw the corpse of a young man on the road outside the university.

Security forces backed by armoured cars fired warning shots to disperse looters as small shops and buildings burned into the night in the Cengkareng and Jelanbar areas.

Witnesses said the mob shouted ``Let's wipe out the Chinese'' and ``Let's kill the Chinese'' as they rampaged through. Indonesia's ethnic Chinese are a frequent target during times of hardship due to their perceived wealth in the largely Moslem nation and control of local commerce.
