BEIJING: Police and protesters opposed to the construction of a massive aluminium plant clashed in a northern Chinese city yesterday despite the local government's announcement that it was suspending the project. Several dozen protesters gathered outside government offices in Daqing, pushing up against a large contingent of police, including some with dogs. At least two people were taken away and a woman was carried off after collapsing in the street. It was unclear whether she had been injured by police.
