In a fresh indication of growing public anger over pollution, hundreds of demonstrators in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang on Sunday were camped outside a solar panel manufacturing plant that stands accused of contaminating a nearby river.
The factory in Haining is owned by a Chinese company, JinkoSolar Holding Company.
The demonstration was the latest move in a four-day protest that has sometimes turned violent.
The unrest began Thursday, when about 500 residents gathered outside the plant, in Haining, roughly 80 miles southwest of Shanghai. Some protesters stormed the five-year-old factory compound, overturning eight company vehicles, smashing windows and destroying offices. The next day, four police cars were damaged.
The factory is owned by JinkoSolar Holding Company, a Chinese firm with more than 10,000 employees that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and reported total revenue in the second quarter of 2.3 billion renminbi, or about $360 million. Some investment analysts described the company last year as a promising upstart in the solar-energy products business.
AGW = TFBS, AND THE SO-CALLED GREEN ECONOMY IS A RIP-OFF AND A FRAUD. AND A POLLUTER.
IRONIC:
THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE CRAP THAT'S SUPPOSED TO REDUCE THE EMISSION OF HARMLESS CO2 ACTUALLY PRODUCE HARMFUL BI-PRODUCTS.
IT'S A LOSE-LOSE. AND TOTAL EFFIN' WASTE OF RESOURCES.
