Villages threaten more revolts against pollution

From AsiaNews:

Residents of villages of Dongyang County are ready to take up arms to force factories causing pollution in the area to shut down. The local government had promised to close or relocate the factories after an uprising on 10 April.

“The local government said it would clear the factories out by August 26, but that hasn’t happened. Only one factory is being pulled down,” said a villager.
