ABSTRACT
Explosive economic and
industrial growth in China has led to a significant environmental degradation
and it is currently in the process of developing more stringent legal controls. Although new Environmental Protection
Law (EPL) 2015, has very important provision like
handing out heavier punishment for environmental wrongdoing, specific articles and
provisions on tackling pollution, environmental
and health monitoring survey and risk assessment mechanism, public participation in environmental protection and
encouraging social organizations to initiate public law suits on behalf of
citizens. Yet the environmental legal system is still incomplete, and
implementation and enforcement of environmental laws have shown major
shortcomings. Release of the draft revised EPL has triggered a flood of
questions, comments and complaints. Present paper spotlights these very
impotent questions and contains a thoughtful discussion about EPL.
