Stronger environment bill

These were the concerns on the minds of many when a revised version of the law was presented to the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress for a fourth time on Monday.

It is 25 years since the Environmental Protection Law was first adopted in 1999, and it has been clear for some time that a tougher law is needed.
