The episode is the latest in <a href=\"https:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/2013\/07\/nuclear-activism-limiting-the-fallout\/\">a series of protests in recent years that have complicated government plans for expanding nuclear power<\/a>. The New York Times&#8217; Chris Buckley reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">The government of Lianyungang, a city in Jiangsu Province, tried to calm residents on Sunday, a day after thousands of people defied police warnings and gathered near the city center, chanting slogans, according to Chinese news reports and photographs of the protests shared online.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">They chanted \u201cno nuclear fuel recycling project,\u201d the state-run Global Times reported, citing footage from the scene. \u201cIt is unsafe to see another nuclear project coming and besieging us,\u201d one resident told the paper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">Residents used WeChat, a popular Chinese messaging service, to share video footage showing downtown Lianyungang at night crowded with hundreds of people, many of them middle-aged, walking down a broad street in waves and chanting loudly, \u201cOppose nuclear waste, defend our home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">The city government responded with the mix of reassurances and warnings that Chinese officials often use in the face of protests over pollution and environmental concerns. \u201cCurrently, the project is still at the stage of preliminary assessment and comparing potential sites, and nothing has been finally decided,\u201d the city government said in a statement issued on Sunday.
