Residents are now engaged in violent protests against environmental damage caused by new factories in their cities.
A proposed copper factory in Sichuan that has been suspended is one example.
The capitalism cat has been let out of the bag.
25 years ago it was all growth, growth and the majority were satisfied as it ment jobs and money.
Now, they are realising they cannot live in their cities as the pollution of air, water and soil is becoming intolerable.
The dilemma for the new party leaders is now how to sustain growth and wages, manage the huge influence the bosses of the State owned companies have, and at the same time control the growing environmental activism from residents.
