Harsher environmental protection law
China's revised Environmental Protection Law came into effect on Jan 1, bringing with it heavier punishments.
According to the revised law, extra fines accumulating on a daily basis will be imposed on enterprises that fail to rectify violations.
Local officials may be demoted or sacked for misconduct, including the concealment of offenses, falsifying data, failing to publicize environmental data, and not giving closure orders to enterprises that illegally discharge pollutants.
