Beginning at the end of May, central government inspectors started re-examining thousands of violations uncovered during the nationwide environmental audit, and found that many of the problems had not been properly resolved.They have already accused local governments and state-owned enterprises across the country of conducting “perfunctory” or even “fraudulent” rectifications.
Total fines of 510 million yuan ($77.13 million) had already been issued in the 10 regions, which include the two biggest steel producing provinces of Hebei and Jiangsu, as well as Yunnan and Ningxia in the far west and Guangdong in the southeast, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment said.
This round of inspections involved a total of 28,076 violations. The ministry said 464 officials had been subject to administrative or criminal detention.China is in the fifth year of its war on pollution and Xi vowed in May to use the full might of the ruling Communist Party to tackle longstanding environmental problems.

Hello Deepak
Nice to know that the Chinese government is taking action to reduce problems regarding the environment. As most environmental issues are a man-made problem, it is essential that an authority that can effectively monitor and punish those who go against the law is in need.
Hope every nation could find the solution to keep people from violating environmental laws!
Thanks for the report :)

Hello Deepak, as series of severe environmental pollution problems is becoming chronic in China, government is aiming to get rid of those problems as they affect national economy and country development progression negatively.
It seems like many governmental officials and people are engaged in such projects to prevent further environmental problems, but precise and appropriate solutions do not seem to appear 'for this term', so they must think about different and better means of solutions to solve them :)
Looking forward to better solutions of China to solve such environmental problems, and thanks for your report!

The environmental pollution in China is egregious. Great work for the republic's leaders to do.
