Xie Zhenhua, director of the State Environmental Protection Administration
said December 3 that China has put a complete curb on a worsening
situation of environment pollution.
Xie said that environment protection work has been well launched
on a large scale centering on China's heartland, rivers, land basins,
river valleys and cities set during the 9th Five-year Plan period.
People have been seen to live with an improved environment in some
areas as a result of enhanced work done for environmental protection
in recent three years.
Xie told that China's environment protection in the five years
to come is a 10% cut of sulfur dioxide, dirt, industrial dust and
solid waste in addition to a controlled amount of heavy metal, cyanide
and oil in industrial waste water and a safe treatment of dangerous
wastes.
China has gone into cooperation with Japan, Germany, Norway and
the US to better control environmental pollution.
