China waste plant protest in Hangzhou 'injures dozens' (BBC)
At least 39 people have been hurt and dozens of vehicles damaged in a protest against a planned waste incinerator in a Chinese city, state media report.
The violence broke out on Saturday in Yuhang district of Hangzhou city, in the eastern province of Zhejiang. The injured included 29 police officers.
Local authorities say the project will not go ahead without public support.
Tens of thousands of protests are held in China every year, mostly against pollution, corruption and land grabs.
