Chinese Environmental Activists Riot, Pipeline Cancelled!
Following a riot by environmental activists in China, a waste water pipeline project from a Japanese owned paper plant was cancelled. Over 1,000 protesters in the city of Qidong on the China coast took over a government office, overturned cars, destroyed computers and beat police officers bloody.
The pipeline would've dumped the sewage off the coast of Qidong. It seems the Chinese are finally saying they've had enough pollution of their air, land and water! Now if only Americans would do the same...
Think of the risks these environmentalists are taking, openly defying their government who until recently refused to even acknowledge the health effects of industrial pollution in China.

Thanks to the Kyoto Protocol.. China does not need to regulate it's COx and other green house gas outputs because they are a "developing country"... China is way way way way way way way way bigger polluter than the US.. |

Fact is, the youth of this world will soon be taking over and they are fucking fed up with everything they have been forced to swallow...the internet has helped to create a worldwide movement and awakening of the future custodians of this planet and no amount of propaganda will stop them...

No, reread that. See how it says "Japan". it is more because they just hate the Japanese. Sad but true. In my two years there, basically nothing motivated the Chinese as much as hating the Japanese, even if it seems like ancient history to many around the world, it sure is not; even to the college students I taught for two years, in regards to Japans atrocities during WW2. Sorry to say it, but getting Japan out of China, culturally, business wise, etc. was the biggest motivating factor more than anything, I am sure, especially when we are talking about Chinese people outside of Beijing and Shanghai (people in these two cities are generally far more open minded towards the Japan). At the very least, the fact that Japan is a player in this story had SOMETHING to do with the severity of these protests, if not the protests as a whole, which would not be a first by a long shot. |

People should perhaps be aware Japan has never made an apology to China or Korea for the atrocities committed during the war. Having visited one of the Japanese concentration camps in China, I have a little more understanding than most as to exactly why the Chinese hate the Japanese so much.
And the Japanese are far from innocent too - have heard them say terrible things about the Chinese.
