Zhou Shengxian Environmental Quotations

If in the past, in terms of environmental protection, we were very passive ... now there has been a U-turn.

We'll take into account the handling of environmental issues in the evaluation of local officials. Those who fail to meet requirements will pay a price for turning a blind eye to the law.

What we are aiming for is achieving coordinated economic social development and environmental protection while putting emphasis on environmental protection.

The worst environmental pollution in the country is coming, highlighted by frequent occurrence of major pollution incidents.

I hope monitoring cross-border rivers is just a beginning of the two countries' co-operation on environmental protection. China and Russia need to jointly develop comprehensive environmental protection.

The main problems are, firstly, the inappropriate location of the plants; secondly, their failure to follow environmental guidelines; and thirdly, that more than 100 of these plants pose an environmental risk.

If environmental protection efforts continue to lag behind economic growth, pollution will become even more rampant.
