茂名市民抗议PX化工项目的行动，4月1号扩展到了广东省会—-广州市。数百人向省政府进发，但是被警方阻挡在附近的中山纪念堂。至少有9人被抓。通往茂名的公路和铁路被阻断。网络和通信一度中断。
广东茂名反PX风波进入第三天，经过几轮清场，茂名街头气氛恐怖，到处有武警巡防。数百名在广州工作的茂名籍青年，4月1号前往广东省政府和平请愿，最少9人被带走羁押。到晚上仍有近千人在〝南方报业集团〞附近请愿。
广州市民贾榀参加了集会。他说，广东省政府附近的中山纪念堂，有很多来自茂名的朋友周二在那里聚集。他们制作了很多标语纸牌，包括横幅。上面写的内容大概有〝谁给的权力打人？〞〝PX项目滚出茂名〞，〝茂名人民要自由〞等等。大概在一点钟的时候，聚集了两三百人。
广州市民贾榀：〝他们就拉着横幅，举着纸牌，有两百多人，有很多人拍照。他们在中山纪念堂周围不断进行小范围游行，在省政府门口右边，吸引了很多很多路过的行人和车辆围观，当局很紧张，广州公安局派出大量警察，站在路边，以人墙的形式围堵来自茂名的朋友，阻挠他们游行示威活动。〞
广州资深民主人士范一平周二也到省政府参加了抗议。他说，大约中午12点钟，示威民众往省政府方向走。警方严阵以待，军警林立，死死阻挡人群涌向省政府。
广州民主人士范一平：〝很多铁马，还有警车，特警，全部都在那边，严阵以待。他们没有办法，在中山纪念堂那边被堵到了。（警方）要求他们解散，用大扩音喇叭说，你们是非法的，未经批准的示威游行，吆喝他们。后来有一拨人走出来，走出来的时候他们就不让，就跟他们发生一些推撞，当时就殴打，牵扯，拉扯，搞得好多示威游行者受伤了。〞
至少有9人被抓，都是年轻人，其中有好几个是女孩子。他们被抓到省政府附近的虹桥派出所，关了一个晚上。广州警方让茂名公安把他们全部接回茂名。
范一平：〝后来我接到一个电话要求紧急援助。我电话通知了广州一些维权 律师 前往关注。〞
与此同时，茂名的抗议进入第三天，遭到警方多次清场，据说有几百人被打伤，很多人被抓。交通和通讯被当局切断。
贾榀：〝昨天我们得到的消息说茂名各个高速公路，通往茂名市区的马路基本上全部封锁了。开往茂名的列车在进入茂名之前已经停运了。高速路上大巴车一律停运。私家车每辆车都要检查。网络也一度中断，手机信号之类的。〞
PX项目一直以来在大陆各个城市遭到民众非常积极的抗议。此前在厦门，大连，宁波，启东，四川彭州等地，城市居民对这个事情都非常牴触。
贾榀：〝其实我们也知道，中国 大陆 政府它一般搞的工程项目，建设时候的安全，包括建成之后运行时候，污染处理做的是很不到位的。这样的话危害就会更大一些。这样的事情自然而然会遭到大陆各个城市的强烈抗议。〞
据香港《苹果日报》报导，在茂名，周二下午再有民众聚集游行，最多时人数过万。市委门前排满特警，官员用喇叭向人群喊话，要求民众选五位代表进入市委与官方领导对话。其后，5名临时选出的群众代表进入市政府后，没再公开露面。
据网络消息说，茂名市政府宣称被抓的人将会很快释放，要求其他人回去，会在短时间内给他们一个满意的答复。但晚上又多次用催泪弹清场。《苹果日报》引述当地护士的消息透露，周日被警方打伤的市民，最少一人不治，另一人深度昏迷。
据即时通讯〝微信〞圈的消息，有人召集茂名同乡4月4号前往深圳罗湖口岸，举行和平抗议活动。

Maoming Protest Spreads To Guangzhou.
A protest against a chemical plant in Maoming City,
Guangdong Province has spread to its capital Guangzhou.
Several hundred protesters marched to the city hall.
However, they were stopped by police near Sun Yat-sen
Memorial Hall. At least nine people were arrested.
The roads and railways link to Maoming were blocked.
The internet and telecommunications were also temporarily
suspended.
The Maoming protest has entered its third day against
the building of a plant to produce paraxylene (PX).
After clearing out the protesters, several times
Maoming’s atmosphere is very tense.
Riot police are patrolling everywhere.
Several hundred local residents who work in the area
appealed to the capital city Guangzhou on April 1.
Some of them were taken away by police.
In the evening, a thousand protesters demonstrated
near Southern Weekly Newspaper Group.
Guangzhou resident Jia Pin participated in the protest.
He said that many people from Maoming gathered near Sun
Yat-sen Memorial Hall on Tuesday, holding cards and banners.
Their slogans include “Whose Orders To Beat Protesters?”
“PX Project Out of Maoming!” “Maoming Needs Freedom!”
By 1pm, there were about 200-300 people gathered.
Jia Pin: “Many protesters held banners and placards,
with people taking photos.
They constantly protested in smaller groups
around Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall.
The demonstration to the right side of the city hall attracted
the attention of many pedestrians and vehicles passing by.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is very nervous; large
numbers of police were sent out to stand in the street.
They formed a wall to stop protesters coming from Maoming.”
Guangzhou senior democrat Fan Yiping also
joined protest outside city hall on Tuesday.
He said that around 12pm, protesters went to the city hall.
Police stubbornly blocked the protesters.
Fan Yiping: “Many police arrived with vehicles and stayed
there. Protesters have no other way to appeal.
They couldn’t access the memorial hall area.
Police ordered them to leave using loudspeakers saying that
they are illegal, and demonstrating without permission.
Later, some protesters walked out of the crowd, but they were
stopped by the police, after which the clash occurred.
Fighting took place and many petitioners were injured.”
Several people were arrested, mostly young people, some of
whom were women.
They were taken to Hongqiao police station near the city hall,
and were held overnight.
Guangzhou police have asked Maoming police to
take protesters back to Maoming.
Fan Yiping: “Later I received an emergency phone call
asking for help.
I informed some Guangzhou human rights lawyers
to go there to observe the situation.”
Meanwhile, the protest in Maoming entered its third day.
The protesters were dismissed several times by the police.
Sources say that several hundred protesters were beaten up
and injured, then some arrested.
Jia Pin: “We heard of the news that the highways
and roads to Maoming were almost all blocked.
The trains to Maoming were stopped from entering Maoming.
The buses on the highway were all stopped; private vehicles
were checked one by one.
Internet access was temporarily cut, off,
including mobile phones.
The PX projects have been strongly objected to by
residents in many cities.
Prior to this, residents in Xiamen, Dalian, Ningbo, Qidong,
Pengdi in Sichuan and other cities were against the PX projects.
Jia Pin: “Actually we know how the local governments
projects are conducted both before and after construction.
Safety and pollution checks will not be properly done.
The harm levels would increase.
It is certainly strongly objected to by residents in many cities.”
Hong Kong’s Apple Daily reported that residents in Maoming
gathered again on Tuesday afternoon.
This time the protesters numbered many thousands.
Special police were everywhere in the city hall area.
Officials used loudspeakers talking to the crowd.
They requested the protesters to send over five representatives
to have a discussion with officials in the city hall.
The five representatives were chosen and went inside
the city hall, but they never came back.
Online sources say that theCCP said they would release the
spokespeople soon, once the protesters went home.
The CCP would then give them a satisfactory answer. But,
later in the evening, tear gas was used many times at the site.
The Apple Daily quoted a local nurse speaking about the
injured residents on Sunday, at least one of them died, and
one was still unconscious.
According to Weixin, a webchat in Mainland China, people
are organizing Maoming residents to go to Shenzhen on April 4.
They plan to stage a peace protest.
