China New Round of Pollution Inspections Begins

Background: It was launched based on the fact that some areas are still troubled by heavy pollution, despite continued improvement in air quality in key regions, according to the ministry's environmental supervision and inspection bureau.

The environmental inspections, launched in early 2016 by the Chinese Central Government, covered all the 31 provincial regions of the Chinese mainland by the end of last year. 

At the end of May, 6 inspection teams were dispatched to revisit 10 of the regions, including Jiangsu Province, where inspectors will stay for a month, delivering the first results of the new strict measurements. 

Lots of factory closures in China for environmental reviews are happening right now. And many factories are experiencing unexpected delays in productions.

Attention: Jiangsu province will undertake a month-long, joint environmental inspection across eight cities along the Yangtze River.

To protect and preserve the ecology along the river, inspections will be conducted in Nanjin, Wuxi, Changzhou, Suzhou, Nantong, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Taizhou, with closer scrutiny on industrial zones and enterprises that already face environmental issues.

Checks will be conducted from April 24 to May 13 and provisional supervision will be conducted from May 14-23. Inspectors from the city authorities will visit each city with reporters. Inspectors from the provincial authorities will follow up with checks, and focus on areas with severe environmental problems and supervise any sanctions and rectifications.

With the seriously environmental inspection, lots of factories are influenced. Some factories are stopped to open temporarily, but some factories are even facing to be closed forever. This is a bad news for our foreign trade, because many goods’ delivery will be delayed.
