China shames rogue firms amid anti-pollution push

(Eco Business, 24 Apr 2017) China is fighting an uphill battle against pollution. The battle will not be won without enforcing emission limits on factories, and shaming those who exceed set limits.

In a show of anti-pollution resolve, China has begun shaming rogue firms that had allegedly polluted environment and even blocked government inspections.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection made details of the first case public over the weekend and later listed others. Obstruction of law enforcement was found to be common.

In the update, three more cases were reported in provinces of Hebei, Henan and Shandong where the central government had dispatched the largest air pollution inspection team in history, involving 5,600 people.
