China's premier reportedly orders review of controversial dam Wednesday, April 14, 2004 By Elaine Kurtenbach, Associated Press SHANGHAI, China — China's premier reportedly has ordered the government to reconsider controversial plans for a dam on a river shared with Thailand and Myanmar, but the official in charge of the project said he knew of no decision to cancel it. Any decision to scrap plans for the dam on the Salween River would delight environmentalists who have lobbied against it and would please Thailand and Myanmar, which are planning their own dams and object to the Chinese project. China is planning to build dozens of dams to harness water for a developing country of 1.3 billion people that is racing to provide its fast-growing cities with sufficient water and electricity. Premier Wen Jiabao sent the plan back to lower-level officials, noting that such projects "cause great concern in society," the newspaper Ta Kung Pao in Hong Kong reported. The newspaper, which has close ties to Beijing, didn't say what changes Wen told the officials to make. But the director of the Nu River Power Bureau, Li Yunfei, said he was still working on the project and had not heard of any changes. The Salween is known in Chinese as the Nu. enn.com
