2011 Haimen protest
The 2011 Haimen protest of December 2011 occurred in the Chinese town of Haimen, Guangdong province. The protests, which drew thousands of participants, were met with detentions and tear gassing by authorities. Protests were ignited over plans to expand a coal-fired power plant in the town—a plan that residents opposed, arguing that existing coal-fired plants had caused environmental and health damage. Demonstrations began on Tuesday, 20 December when thousands of residents barricaded a freeway and surrounded government offices in an attempt to block the project.
