Li ha più volte ribadito l’impegno della Cina a far sì che la conferenza di Copenaghen si riveli un successo e che si impegnerà affinché l’evento non si riduca a una semplice dichiarazione politica. Il tono dell’ufficiale cinese si è poi dimostrato più polemico nel momento in cui ha espresso critiche circa l’assenza di progetti concreti da parte degli Stati Uniti in vista del summit. Fortunatamente la risposta statunitense non si è fatta attendere: lo dimostra l’impegno di Obama che ha proposto una diminuzione delle emissioni americane pari al 17% entro il 2020, rispetto ai livelli del 2005.
Le grandi attese e le numerose dichiarazioni inerenti al summit che si terrà a Copenaghen dal 7 al 18 dicembre hanno sicuramente tolto spazio visibilità ad un episodio verificatosi a Canton lo scorso 23 novembre e che, guarda caso, ha avuto come tema l’ambiente.
La municipalità che ospita una delle fiere più commerciali importanti del mondo ha disposto la costruzione di un inceneritore a Panyu , una delle città China's oldest, founded by the Qin Dynasty in 214 to
. C. and today the district of Canton extremely dynamic, capable of hosting more than 2.5 million people.
On 23 November, held a lively event that involved over a thousand citizens Cantonese, for most members of the middle class, which gathered to express their displeasure against the creation of an incinerator that costs 930 million yuan - of course the result of public finances from the devastating effects to the environment and health of the inhabitants of the same area, given the potential carcinogenic substances emitted daily by the plant, able to dispose of approximately 2,000 tonnes of waste per day.
As often happens in these cases, the protest has grown thanks and anywhere. Once again the
People's Network has been able to circumvent censorship is always present on Twitter than on Youtube.
In the first case the '
hashtag
# pylj offers a series of links and a section continuously updated on the state of affairs, the channel CoChinaonline
Youtube has a wide selection of video clips devoted to each other, clashes between police and the population included.
The event and the following discussion developed on the Web have attracted the interest of national media so that even the prestigious category of CCTV has dedicated 1 +1 a episode on 25 November. The service highlights the dark side that led to funding to the construction of the incinerator, but ample space was provided even the protests of citizens.
Among the most interesting reflections of the blogger Yang Hengjun that his online diary known as the call of public officials to choose five members of the event for a clarifying debate has been turned down by the crowd that they were raised calling back members of the five selected municipalities to speak with the protesters sign that civil society in China, at least in Panyu, a need for transparency on environmental issues.
Once again the Chinese bodies are in a position of having to simultaneously manage internal expectations and demands by the international community and once again the theme, the environment, is one of the most sensitive in both key domestic and foreign. Definitely an unenviable situation of the Chinese government.
