The protests began Tuesday when thousands of people blocked an expressway to demand the local government cancel plans to build the plant. The police fired tear gas to try to disperse the crowd, according to a local resident reached by telephone. <\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">Chinese news organizations reported that officials said they would suspend the project. But on Thursday, police officers armed with tear gas guns sealed off the highway as a group of protesters faced them. Some news agencies reported that there were some arrests. Haimen is 90 miles from Wukan, a fishing village that evicted Communist Party officials and the police over a land dispute. Leaders there announced Wednesday they were halting their protest.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div style=\"font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; \"><\/div><div><span style=\"color: #2d2d2d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Lucida Grande', 'Segoe UI', Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff; font-size: 12pt; \">Read&nbsp;<\/span><strong style=\"color: #2d2d2d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Lucida Grande', 'Segoe UI', Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #ffffff; \"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/12\/23\/world\/asia\/china-confrontation-over-coal-plant-enters-3rd-day.html?scp=5&amp;sq=china&amp;st=cse\" style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #034af3; \"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">original article<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; \">.<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #2d2d2d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Lucida Grande', 'Segoe UI', Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #ffffff; \">&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span>&nbsp;<\/div><\/div><\/font><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;div&gt;Concerned over environmental pollution from the plant, protesters confronted police for the third straight day, with tear gas being fired on the civilians. &amp;nbsp;In Guangdong Province, Haimen is only 90 miles from Wukan, where villagers evicted Communist Party officials.&lt;\/div&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ChinaHumanRights","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/minzhuzhongguo.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/minzhuzhongguo.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/minzhuzhongguo.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minzhuzhongguo.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minzhuzhongguo.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/minzhuzhongguo.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24357\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/minzhuzhongguo.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minzhuzhongguo.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/minzhuzhongguo.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
