Chemical Plant Protest Gets Some Results

By Stan

ADVERTISEMENTS

Last Friday’s satirical post notwithstanding, I have been interested to see whether the folks in Hunan protesting against the actions of a chemical plant will be successful.

As of today, it looks like some movement from the government:

Authorities in central China suspended two environment officials and detained a chemical plant boss after hundreds of residents protested, claiming the factory polluted a river and caused at least two deaths in the area, an official said Sunday. [Straits Times]

Let’s see what sort of compensation is forthcoming from the plant and the local government.
