Last year, China’ s environment was facing a serious situation, with several major rivers and lakes blocked by industrial waste. China’s environmental cleanup is delayed by more than two decades of rapid economic growth, and a lack of technology especially. Every province has set up an office and will report to a main center staffed by officials from government departments. Data will be reviewed many times before being put into a database and will be analyzed in the second half of 2008. Findings will be examined and approved by mid-2009.
