CHINA-DAM-THREEGORGES-RESETTLEMENT-CORRUPTION
Fu Xiuqiong (L) and her husband Jiang Yongchang (R) live in a makeshift hut built on the shore with nowhere to go as the waters inch higher, 29 November 2007 in Gaoyang, in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality. Life was never easy for the peasant couple, but since China's Three Gorges Reservoir began to fill in 2003, they have barely kept their heads above water. In a story common for this small town, her family watched helplessly last year as local officials bulldozed their home to make way for the rising waters, only to deny them promised resettlement funds. Critics of the Three Gorges Dam project have long alleged massive corruption in the resettlement programme, but a senior Chinese government official denied any problems, reflecting official efforts to downplay abuses.
