yìn ní印尼Rempangdǎo岛de的“shēng tài chéng shì生态城市”jì huà计划yǐn fā引发zhēng yì争议
On Indonesia's Rempang Island, the government wants to build a large factory called an "Eco-City."
This factory will produce a lot of glass and solar panels.
The government says this will bring many job opportunities and help Indonesia develop green energy.
However, many people have lived on the island for a long time and do not want to move.
In September 2023, many residents protested and prevented government officials from entering the village.
Later, police and military arrived and used tear gas; many people were injured and some were arrested.
The construction of this factory will use a lot of land and may damage the island's forests, oceans, and animals.
Many residents are worried that their homes and their fishing and farming lifestyles will be destroyed.
Although the government says it will provide new houses for everyone, many people still do not want to leave their homes.
They hope the government will listen to their voices and not let them lose their homes.
