Mingjian protests continue
Posted on 2026-05-12 17:08:14
Protests in Nantou's Mingjian township have continued today, with protesters
being stopped by police after climbing over barriers separating panelists
from the public.

Nantou County is Taiwan's only municipality without its own incinerator, and
has in the past been forced to rely on neighbors for help.

But as those neighboring municipalities have no longer been able to help, and
trash continues to accumulate, the county government is looking to build its
own incinerator.

The plan has encountered opposition from local residents, who've raised
concerns about how an incinerator would affect the township's tea industry,
which employees one third of residents.

At today's meeting, residents asked the county government if they "had ever
asked Mingjian people if the incincerator should be built there" and called
for the head of the environmental department to be removed.
