Province vows clean new industry

GUANGZHOU: Tough pollution controls will be imposed in South China's Guangdong Province in a raft of measures aimed at making industry clean up its act.

The tougher measures include introducing strict upper limits of pollution emissions for each of the province's 21 cities.

New industrial projects will also have a higher environmental threshold to abide by, and it will be tougher for existing industries that are known polluters to have their licenses renewed.
