Three Gorges Project on the Defensive?
U.S. Embassy, Bejing, China
Supplied note: "In the February 24 'People's Daily' two articles examining highlighting concerns raised by the Three Gorges project followed the publication of State Council infrastructure project quality guidelines. The two articles depart sharply in tone from the 134 other Three Gorges articles which have appeared in 'People's' Daily since August 1998. These latest two articles, the guidelines, and Premier Zhu's December exhortation to Three Gorges management to boost project quality may mean that the Three Gorges project has quality problems."
