Otherwise, years later we may have no clean water for both governors and ordinary people.

During the ten years that I have lived in the neighborhood of the Chengbei Avenue school, located in Lei River city of Linying county, Henan province, the river has turned black, and it emits a repugnant stench. All trash is tossed into the river. Well water is foul and salty. I do not believe that the government is not aware of this. That's just how China is: trying to cover up shortcomings and problems..

Reliance on coercive power and stringent laws will not resolve underlying problems. Our present aim is to establish a harmonious society, but in future we should establish an ethical society!

If we could comprehensively resolve environmental problems, we would really protect the environment.

This should be clarified, otherwise there is a mess forever.

I don't know whether this is a single case or one of many.

Similar to this article, can water pollution really be tackled with constituting a policy or law? I think the answer is no, we do have great books of laws, still there are crimes. I think the core problem lies in law enforcement.
