China's environmental conundrums will not be solved by changes within government alone. New mechanisms are needed to allow the communities which may be affected by a given plan, and citizens concerned about the environment, to join in.
I tell them the rules are made by the government. Every firm should comply. It doesn't mean they can't compete.
At the end of the day, the government, local government all bow to public pressure.
The government and central bank are determined to tighten and if they don't see the target being met, there could be more measures coming.
I know the government needs to ensure economic growth... we just hope it takes care of the environment, too.
Even the government understands that the environmental challenge is so big that no single agency can handle it. It needs collaboration among all the stakeholders - companies, governments, NGOs and the public. Public accountability will be the ultimate driving force.
