Please Looks into the Dongshan People Interest on The Reason Why Against The Building of PX Plant!!

On 2008 02 29, the simple & honors Paradise - Dongshan People are angry!!

People are carrying Banners with " Against Building PX Plant @ Ku Riu, Risk of Lives to Dongshan People" ku Riu penisular which is about 22KM off Dongshan Island.

Dongshan is just opposite Taiwan.

The groups of people put up blockages; barricades; block out the major street in their old town "DongLin"; DongLin have been a city center for Dongshan for over 2 thousand years. Which is also the home town of my late dad's.

The people requesting their county government to put off the decision to build PX plant which is 22KM away from their home island. They want their government to request their upper authority to ask Zhang Bu County to put off the decision. Since Ku Riu is under the control of Zhang Bu!!

So that this paradise island could continue their own lives!!

In principle, Dongshan county government have not authority over the Zhang Bu County government decision. However, government are used to use high pressure & high handed ways to suppress the peoples'. Therefore the riots broke out, County deputy mayor is wounded during the riots; police are torturing the people & students.

Thus one of the police petrol car is overturned by the rioters. From Mar 03, 2008 the rioters have increased to over 50 to 60K people. Rioters includes old folks; students, all works of lives. Now the riots have spread to the whole county!! It have been reported that 16 police car have been damaged; also the Government buildings glasses are broken by the rioters.

There are over 17 people wounded & 16 people were taken to county jail.

The words of the Dongshan people is that they want Blue Sky; White Clouds; They don't want PX plant;

They want the original; Beaches; White sands; Non polluted sea & water

Government saying is that only stability would bring prosperity!! If like these, how could government bring prosperity & development to Dongshan?? "PX is great project; it would generate 80Billions GDP to the Nation!! good management & control is just like managing LPG cylinder project, If within control then just like having the LPG in your family!!

Can you see how naive & stupid explanations??

If that is great project for the people & nation, why Xiamen don't want the project?? Why should Dongshan people accept the project??

Dongshan cannot compare with Xiamen in evconomy & culture. What Dongshan people want tis safe guard their life line in fisheries; tourism, clean environments. Dongshan people don't understand what is GDP!!

Ku Riu the nearest part to Dongshan is only 7KM away from Dongshan, what if the PX leakage of pollutants & ... then Dongshan people would be all sending to hell!!

According the the International EPA requirement, such industries must be 100miles away from the populated area. But now such requirement is not observed by authority!!

To be continue......
