Protest prompts China to cancel Jiangmen
uranium plant.
It seems that public protests have more
power than ever before in some of the Arabian countries that had been or have
been ruled by tyrants. But it took not only considerable time and numbers of demonstrations
but also bloody fights on the streets and lives of people.
Now even in China, public protests, though
still heavily curtailed, seem to have effective force to the ruling party or
local governments to change their decisions.
Just about 24 hours after by a mere 1,000
protesters marched the streets of a southern city near Hong Kong, the local
government announced that it would call off its ambitious project to build and
operate a uranium plant.
Enjoy reading and thinking of what made the
powerful ruling party make such a quick decision to back off its plan in
response to such a small protest, which could set a precedent for future cases.
