A water discharge project was canceled in the coastal city of Qidong, Jiangsu province, because of strong protests from residents.

In the early hours of Saturday, thousands of people gathered in front of the government office and in adjacent streets to protest a water pipeline project, an investment of Japan's Oji Paper Group.

Zhang Jianxin, deputy mayor of Qidong, said on the city's website on Saturday that the project was still under evaluation and would be "suspended" if residents oppose it.
