“A PetroChina unit in Shaanxi has been shut down after oil from a ruptured pipeline contaminated a source of drinking water for 200,000 residents of the city of Yanan. The 100-kilometre pipeline, which runs upstream of the Wangyao Reservoir in Zhidan county, was damaged during a landslide sometime before Monday, when the leak was discovered, the local government said.[…] The landslide that ruptured the pipeline was one among many caused by days of torrential rainfall during the past two weeks. Zhidan county received more than 20cm of rainfall - or 4½ times the rainfall in the same period last year.”

“Those county leaders who resisted were soon removed. For example, the county leaders in Zhidan county in Shannxi^([sic – meaning Shaanxi]) province (Zweig, 1983) and Jimo county in Shandong province (Han, 2008) were replaced by those who supported decommunization.”
