【新唐人2012年12月25日讯】去年8月，大连数万市民上街抗议二甲苯（p-xylene）化工厂项目，当时大连市政府承诺，项目停产并准备搬迁。但最近大陆媒体报导，这个引发争议的px项目，事实上从来没有停产过。公司还要求员工严格对外保密。这一消息被披露后，民众非常气愤，认为当局不守信用、故意欺骗老百姓。下面请看本台记者的报导。
大连福佳集团一高管向媒体证实，公司的二甲苯（PX）化工项目一直在生产。福佳公司的一位工作人员也谈到，福佳大化已恢复PX生产将近一年，不过，公司内部PX已成为禁忌的话题，员工严禁泄露复产消息。
大陆《新京报》报导，大连市福佳大化公司现场有滚滚浓烟升起，空气里弥漫着一股呛鼻的酸味。在大门口，公司保安对进厂人员仔细核查。公司周边则建有数十个存放化工原料的铅罐，工厂背后是正在修建的数千米长沿海防洪堤。
去年8月，一场台风冲垮了大连福佳大化PX化工厂的防波堤，俗称对二甲苯的两个储备罐发生倾斜泄漏，附近出现刺激性气味。8月14号，大连数万市民上街抗议，大连当局一面调动武警镇压，一面承诺将PX项目停产并准备搬离。
现在，大连PX化工厂从未停工的消息一经披露，民众一片哗然。网民质问：停产搬迁是市委书记当众承诺的，是报纸头条报导的，说不算就不算啦？ ！
有网民回答：“看看人家（中共）上世纪40年代的承诺，你会更加感觉欲哭无泪的。”
一位大连市民向《新唐人》透露，实际上当局一直在刻意欺骗老百姓，甚至就连当初大连数万人上街反对PX项目，也是政府官员出于内斗而有意组织的，所以才没有过早遭到镇压。
大连市民：“老百姓都很反对这些事情，反对是归反对，但是老百姓没有这个勇气站出来如何如何。如果没有这次政府官员组织的话，他们也不敢。后来为什么老百姓就不出来了呢？现在还在施工呢。如果没人组织的话，谁也不敢出去。”
《新京报》引述“清华大学化工科学与技术研究院”院长金涌的话说，PX论毒性和汽油差不多。金涌还辩称，美国和新加坡的PX厂区都是紧邻生活区。但这一说法招来网上一片骂声。
《维基百科》显示，PX是一种危险化学品，易燃有毒，可使胎儿发生畸形。PX可造成肝、肾损伤、化学性肺炎、肺水肿、血液异常等，严重者会因呼吸中断而死亡。
厦门大学某化学教师也表示，从专业角度讲，任何化工厂都应该远离居住区。
厦门大学化学教师：“每一种化工厂，哪怕是做食品的、做香料的，它的化工产品浓度高的时候都有危害。因为这类化工厂总有各种意外。”
对此，记者特意致电大陆环保部环境投诉中心，询问有关化工厂与居民区距离的相关规定。
环保部环境投诉中心工作人员：“这个要看那个化工厂建厂的时候做环评。根据化工厂的类型，环评机构做环评的时候（确定）。具体的数字，每一个厂子并不是一定的。”
但这么重要的环评报告，对于老百姓却像黑箱一样，不知道如何制定，也没有机会看到。而不断发生的化工厂泄露污染事件和信息的严重不透明，致使民众对PX项目极度反感，当局只好悄悄低调投产。
时政评论员王昊轩撰文指出，PX本身是低毒产品，在现有技术条件下污染是可控的。但问题是，在中共的专制统治下，很多化工厂因为当局支持，根本不愿在环保上投入，化工厂经常排放毒气、毒液，民众深受其害。王昊轩强调，PX毒性虽然低，但中共专制能起到放大PX毒性的作用。而民众不相信PX项目的安全性，就像他们不会相信专制政府会有诚信一样！

Dalian PX Chemical Project Never Stopped
August 2011 witnessed tens of thousands of Dalian citizens
protesting against a local p-xylene (PX) chemical project.
Local authorities of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
promised to halt and relocate the project.
Recently, China”s media unveiled that
this PX project has actually never stopped.
The company prohibits its employees to leak the information.
The news exposure has greatly outraged local public,
as they felt they were fooled by CCP local authorities.
An executive of Dalian-based Fujia Group confirmed to media
that the company”s PX chemical project has never stopped.
Fujia staff also said that the Fujia Dahua PX has resumed
production for nearly one year.
Yet, it is a taboo subject within the company, and the staff
are banned from leaking the information to outsiders.
China”s Beijing News reported that at the operation site in
Fujia Dahua factory, dense smoke is seen.
It surges, filling the air with irritant acid odor.
The security gate guards carefully check ID of people
entering the premises.
Around the plant are dozens of lead chemical storage
tanks.
At the back of the factory is a floodwall of several kilometers
under construction.
In August 2011, a typhoon breached one of
the factory’s protective dykes.
The storm triggered a leak in its two chemical storage tanks,
the smell of irritant odor spreading to the nearby areas.
On Aug. 14th tens of thousands of Dalian protesters
took to the streets.
CCP local authorities mobilized armed police
to disperse on-site protesters.
Meanwhile, local CCP leaders promised to halt and move
the PX project out of city.
The latest unveiling of the truth about the PX project has
sparked public outrage.
A netizen said, “The Party”s chief openly promised to stop
and relocate the PX project.
This was a headline in the newspaper.
Now nothing they said counts as the truth!”
Another netizen replied, “Look at what the CCP promised
in the 1940s.You”ll find yourself tearless with grief.”
A Dalian citizen discloses why local authorities did not
repress the mass protests against the PX project in 2011.
It involving local CCP officials” infighting; some officials
were actually shoving behind the demonstration.
Dalian public: “Local people all strongly oppose this project.
But no one dares to stand up against it.
They dared not go on the streets without the official”s initiatives.
Why didn”t people go out again later on, while the project
was still under construction, waiting until today?
If no one makes a move, nobody dares to go and resist it."
The Beijing News quoted Jin Yong, president of Chemical
Science & Technology Research Institute, Tsinghua University.
Jin Yong alleged that PX toxicity is similar
to that of gasoline.
In the U.S. and Singapore, the PX factor sites
are all close to residential areas.
Jin”s assertion has turned him into a target of
public criticism on the internet.
Wikipedia shows that PX is a hazardous,
flammable and toxic chemical.
It can cause fetal malformation, liver and kidney damage,
chemical pneumonia, pulmonary edema and blood abnormalities.
High concentrations can lead to death triggered by
lung collapse.
A chemistry teacher at Xiamen University says that ethically
any chemical plant should be located far away from residents.
“Any chemical plant making food or spices can produce
ill effects with high concentrations reached in its chemical products.
For a long time, there have occurred a variety of accidents
in such chemical plants.”
NTD reporter called up the Complaint Center of China”s
Ministry of Environment to inquire about regulations on chemical factory location.
Staff (Complaint Center, Ministry of Environment): “This
depends on the environmental impact assessment that
was made to get approval for the chemical project.
There”s no specific figure set as criteria,
it may be different for each factory.”
However, the general public in China has never been
informed of such environmental impact assessments.
They neither know how it was formulated,
nor have any chance to read it.
Continuous chemical plant leak incidents and cover-up
have incurred strong public resistance.
Aware of this, CCP local authorities started production quietly.
Critic Wang Haoxuan commented in his article.
He indicated the PX in itself is of low toxicity,
with its pollution controllable.
The existing problem is, lots of CCP-backed chemical plants
are not willing to invest in environmental protection.
Chemical plants have incessantly released poisonous gas
and polluted water into the public area.
Wang Haoxuan remarked that CCP dictatorship plays a role
which helps enlarge the PX toxicity issue.
Chinese public dare not trust the alleged PX project safety,
the same as their attitude towards the autocratic regime.
