                 China Protesters Shut Down Incinerator Project

   by VOA News

   Protesters in eastern China have succeeded in shutting down a
   government plan to build a waste incinerator they fear would impact
   their health.
   The demonstrations, which have lasted more than two weeks, turned
   violent Saturday, with hundreds of police clashing with protesters in
   the village of Yuhang, close to the city of Ningbo.
   The state-run Xinhua news agency reported that protesters overturned 30
   vehicles and set two police cars on fire.  One police officer and one
   protester were seriously injured.
   In an online statement late Saturday, the Yuhang government said all
   work on the project has been suspended and will not resume until the
   project receives public support.
   Some information for this report was provided by AP and Reuters.
