Chapter 1021: Backfired

Luo Haibin on the side frowned and said, "Are we in a hurry?!" The environmental assessment approval of the PX project has not been obtained so far, the whole project is still in the demonstration stage, and the project site selection is also a problem, the current petrochemical energy base is too close to the main urban area, we all know that PX is an aromatic hydrocarbon compound, that is, paraxylene, and benzene belongs to a class of carcinogenic chemicals, although the toxicity of PX is not as good as benzene, but it is still toxic, once there is a leak, storage tank explosion and other accidents, the consequences are unimaginable......".

Without waiting for Luo Haibin to finish speaking, Xie Shuzhen interrupted his speech with a wave of his hand, and said undoubtedly: "Comrade Haibin, don't say it, now we are not discussing the question of whether to do the PX project, but how to do it and how to do the work of the people!" The PX project is part of the 12th Five-Year Plan, and I have made a special report to Governor Danmin, who instructed us to seize the opportunity to carry out this project! ……”。

"Regarding the toxicity of PX, although I am not a chemical expert, I have checked on the Internet before, PX is only a low-toxicity chemical, its toxicity is much lower than benzene, it is not a flood beast, only ignorant people will be afraid! As for the accidents such as leaks and tank explosions that you said, they are all accidental events, and they don't necessarily happen. The earth may still explode, we can't just sit there every day and worry about the sky and do nothing, right?! ……”。

The cadres of Xie Shuzhen's department in the audience immediately laughed very cooperatively, but made Luo Haibin blush, he has always been not good at words, how can he be the opponent of the sharp-tongued Xie Shuzhen, and Xie Shuzhen also moved out the big boss Shu Danming, which means that if you want to express your objections again, you will go against Governor Shu, Luo Haibin had to say "Then I reserve my opinion" and stopped talking.

Xie Shuzhen saw that Luo Haibin didn't speak, so she glanced at him proudly, and continued to knock heavily on the table and said: "I went to Jiangjiu City this time to investigate and found that the reason why their PX project can be successfully implemented is that there is a good experience worth learning from, that is, mobilizing the masses to sign the "Letter of Commitment to Support the Construction of Aromatic Hydrocarbon Projects", first of all, starting from government agencies, schools, enterprises and institutions, those who actively sign the letter of commitment, those who support the construction of the PX project must be commended, and those who refuse to sign the letter of commitment must be criticized. It should also be linked to salary ratings, year-end evaluations, and children's schooling......".

"First of all, start from everyone here, mobilize in batches and shards, and take responsibility for people, this PX project can be said to be the job bowl of the future development of our famous trade market, who dares to smash the job bowl of our famous trade market, I will smash his job first! We must treat this PX project as a battle, and we must win and not lose! ......", Xie Shuzhen said loudly.

Xie Shuzhen turned to Wang Liguo, director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, who was sitting at the head of the city, and said: "Comrade Liguo, before this, the Propaganda Department of your Municipal Party Committee must first move, whether we can win this battle or not, the key is that the work of the Propaganda Department of your Municipal Party Committee is not in place, and after you go back, you will immediately come up with a detailed propaganda plan, and you must give full play to the role of the news media as the mouthpiece of the Party and build up a propaganda offensive. It is necessary to let the masses fully understand the importance of the PX project to the future development of the famous trade market, and do not treat the PX project as a flood beast! ……”。

"In addition, the Internet supervision department should pay close attention to online speech, now the people like to poke anything on the Internet, once they find that there are remarks against the PX project on the Internet, they must immediately delete it, and in addition, they must say hello to influential websites and forums in China in advance, do a good job of public relations, no matter how much it costs, they must block this opening, I don't want to see any opposition to the PX project on the Internet......."

Wang Liguo, director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, is an old man in the propaganda mouth, and he is naturally very familiar with these routines, so he immediately patted his chest and said: "Secretary Xie, don't worry, our Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee will definitely send elite soldiers and strong generals to fight this tough battle!" ……”。

Xie Shuzhen nodded and turned to Liao Qili, secretary of the Municipal Legal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, who was sitting at the bottom left, and said: "Stand up comrade, your public security organs must also be mobilized to escort this PX project, and take decisive measures against lawbreakers who are walking against reactionary remarks that are not conducive to the PX project, and the necessary force deterrence is still needed!" ……”。

Liao Qili is a soldier, and he has always disliked to talk too much, and his mantra is to listen to the party and follow the party, so he immediately stood up and saluted cleanly: "Our public security system resolutely completes the tasks assigned to us by the party committee, and does not let a lawbreaker slip through the net!" ……”。

The next day, the official of Mingmao City began to warm up the PX project in a high-profile manner, and the "Mingmao Daily" published an article on the front page of "Mingmao Petrochemical Green High-end Products into Thousands of Households", mainly introducing the green and low-carbon, fine management, social responsibility, etc. The party committees of various government units, government agencies, schools, enterprises and institutions have also held a working meeting on the promotion of petrochemical projects, and signed a letter of responsibility, and invited experts to talk in detail about the famous trade PX project to popularize science for the people, but unfortunately, the high-profile publicity and expert explanations have not eliminated the doubts of the public, but have caused panic, and the effect can be said to be counterproductive.

Immediately, some people went online to inquire about the relevant information of the PX project, and soon found out that the PX project was opposed by the masses in Minxia City and other places, so some activists began to post on the forum to question the harmfulness of the PX project.

Those Internet activists were also enraged, and began to frequently post on major forums in China, and some simply posted on foreign forums, which made the network supervision department of Mingmao City not long enough, although it spent some 'public relations expenses' and deleted some posts, but this is a drop in the bucket, and it is impossible to prevent a voice of condemnation of the Mingmao City PX project on the Internet!
