Chen Jining, China's new minister for environmental protection, has posed many new rules and laws that protect nature reserves, filled with endangered species and even affecting pollution. Many environmentalists in China are in full support of these new decisions, and will hopefully improve China's environment. They're canceling previous plans to build $5.1 billion dollar dams that would cause more harm than anything As well as these new laws, there are now stricter monitoring on false data on air quality made by local officials. With all of these false data sets in regards to air quality, that has an affect on economic growth as well. This will be beneficial to China's atmosphere, but also for the people who live there. This is a positive improvement for China and their communities to raise attention to the environment and how it affects them.
"These misaligned incentives mean that the monitoring and enforcement of standards by central-government officials will be essential if China’s environmental mess is to improve."
