Danwei summerizes the reports on the internet on the massive demonstration in Xiamen against the expansion of the chemical industry. Citizen reporter Zuola is sending pictures from the scene.
The local government has already been suspending the expension as the protest, for a large part online and through SMS's took shake. A nice example of growing citizen's activism.
Update: According to Reuters up to 20,000 people have joined the demonstration, mainly mobilized by SMS-messages
prompting the government to block mobile phone text messages to stop residents from joining the demonstrations.
