DALIAN, China — Authorities in a northeastern port city ordered a petrochemical plant be shut down after more than 12,000 people demonstrated over pollution concerns, state media said.
Officials also pledged Sunday to relocate the Fujia chemical plant from Dalian, Xinhua News Agency said.
The move came after scuffles broke out between riot police and more than 12,000 protesters demanding that the plant, which produces paraxylene, used in making polyester, be moved after a recent tropical storm raised fears of a toxic spill, Xinhua said.
