BEIJING, July 16 (Xinhua) -- China has started a new round of central environmental inspections in six provincial-level regions and two centrally-administered state-owned enterprises (SOEs), said the Ministry of Ecology and Environment Tuesday.
Eight teams were dispatched to the six provincial-level areas of Shanghai, Fujian, Hainan, Chongqing, Gansu and Qinghai, as well as the two SOEs -- the China Minmetals Corporation and China National Chemical Corporation Monday, according to the ministry.
As of Monday night, the inspection teams had received a total of 809 reports from the masses and would oversee and push the inspected units accountability.
China launched a series of central environmental inspections in 2016 after decades of growth left the country saddled with problems such as smog and contaminated soil. Enditem
