China abandons $6 billion uranium project after protestThe whole world is not insane.
Chinese officials have cancelled plans to build a uranium processing plant in the southern city of Heshan a day after hundreds of protesters took to the streets demanding the project be scrapped, a local government website said on Saturday. The proposed 230-hectare complex in the center of China's Pearl River delta in Guangdong province had also triggered unease in neighboring Hong Kong, as well as the gambling region of Macau, the South China Morning Post reported. A brief statement published on the Heshan city government's website said that "to respect people's desire, the Heshan government will not propose the CNNC project".
