CHANGCHUN: Researchers and residents have given a guarded welcome to a government regulation to curb pollution of the Songhua River, which took effect on Friday.
It gives Jilin provincial and city authorities the power to suspend the production of polluting factories.
They also face fines of between 100,000 ($14,600) and 200,000 yuan for failure to meet environmental protection requirements.
