Environment agency must be strict enforcers

OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, China's Ministry of Environmental Protection has reportedly held talks with leaders from at least 20 cities and five enterprises, including a State-owned one, to address the serious local environmental pollution they were responsible for. Comments:

A review by the country's top environmental watchdog is expected to not only pressure the local authorities concerned to fulfill their green commitments, but also unveil the most urgent and specific problems in environmental protection. More important, governments at all levels have to cooperate closely and work with society to solve the problems.
