Hong Kong (CNN)- The lights are out of Jinko solar. After three days of sometimes violent demonstrations, China has closed one of the solar panels of the company manufacturing plants.
The place: the town of Haining, approximately South-West of two hours drive from Shanghai.
The reason: residents allege Jinko plant caused a massive fish mortality and a cluster of cases of cancer, including leukemia, in the local population.
Admission: Jinko solar said now polluting, with levels of fluoride exceeding normal limits, are were cleansed of its plant in a nearby river in improper storage.
First of all, anger broke out Thursday when more than 500 people gathered responses requiring external Jinko factory gates. Some demonstrators burst into the company compound, overturning several cars and damaging buildings.
Monday, local police said that they had arrested more than 20 people - some demonstrators to fly and a handful of employees of Jinko for the destruction of the camera of two journalists- and the local officials forced the mill to go dark.
It seems that was long time coming.
The local environmental authorities, Jinko was not a test of environmental standards in April. He was also fined 470,000 RMB, or about $75,000. A test of the river still proven its water is polluted but Jinko operations were not interrupted - until Monday.
Frustration of the villagers would be understandable.
With this emotion in the streets, it came also to boil on Sina Weibo online, Chinese version of Twitter.
A few messages convey the mood.
@ yihaoyanzi is that the authorities to be more flexible and more responsible.
"Everyone follows the Jinko issue…can progress and the result of the incident, including the plan final rectification be released at the time. This is the era of the internet. "When people have a new request to the Government, the Government should respond actively".
@ buguoshiyizaidechengqiang had a simple message for the plant of solar panels. "Out of Haining, Jinko."
And @ anticipated fendouhua Jinko solar would be haemorrhage of losses due to its alleged environmental damage. "Energy Jinko itself will have to pay a heavy price for its pollution problem." If the stock falls 7 - 8% every day, even with a capital of RMB 10 billion, this lasted not long. Therefore, society should strictly obey and relevant. »
And this last message could not have been more appropriate. Since Thursday, when demonstrations began, the price of the shares of the parent company of Jinko solar, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, declined by 13.2%.
