The most stringent environmental protection law can not afford to offend

On June 4th, Premier Li Keqiang emphasized during a State Council meeting that strict measures must be taken to investigate and address environmental violations. He highlighted the importance of enforcing the most stringent environmental protection laws, which include severe penalties and potential detention for companies found guilty of breaking environmental regulations. Before this, 300 polluting companies across 12 industries were ordered to leave Beijing, marking a significant shift in the city’s approach to industrial pollution. These companies are seen as obstacles to improving environmental quality, and their removal is part of a broader effort to upgrade the standards and efficiency of environmental protection. Some critics argue that a fine of 300,000 yuan is just a small price to pay compared to the long-term costs of environmental degradation. The cost of violating environmental laws has become increasingly high. For instance, one company was recently fined 300,000 yuan for pollution, making it the largest single penalty issued under the new air pollution control regulations. This case highlights the growing pressure on polluters to comply with stricter rules. On May 16th, Zhang Boxu, director of the Beijing Economic and Information Commission, announced that painting was added to the list of 12 polluting industries. As a result, three paint companies already based in Beijing have started relocating to Tianjin or Hebei. While some companies express frustration over the sudden changes, others see this as a necessary step toward cleaner production. According to the upcoming strictest environmental protection law, which will officially take effect on January 1 next year, fines could be applied on a daily basis, potentially reaching 300,000 yuan per day. This means that even a short period of non-compliance could lead to massive financial losses. Moreover, company executives may face not only fines but also administrative or even criminal detention. The message is clear: environmental violations are no longer tolerated. For paint companies, the message is especially urgent. The industry is now considered one of the most polluting, and it's likely to be further regulated in the coming years. Many companies in Beijing are expected to be forced out of the city, and similar trends are expected in other major cities like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. In response to these changes, the government has called for a focus on existing industrial bases and the promotion of high-quality development. Premier Li Keqiang emphasized the need for scientific planning, improved efficiency, and strict enforcement of environmental regulations. As a result, companies not located within petrochemical industrial parks, or those that fail to meet upgrading requirements, may soon find themselves unable to operate in major cities. This signals a shift toward more sustainable and environmentally responsible industrial practices. Many companies in Guangdong have already begun relocating, following previous waves of industrial transfer. Paint manufacturers such as Wuyang in Guangzhou and Sanfen in Shunde have moved to areas like Wujiang and Nanxiong in Shaoguan. For the 12 polluting industries, including paint, the future looks uncertain. Small, highly polluting businesses that fail to adapt or upgrade risk being shut down and facing heavy fines, potentially leading to bankruptcy. Most paint companies in large cities are expected to move to petrochemical industrial parks outside the city. However, the approval process for new or expanded parks is becoming more rigorous, and many projects are delayed due to strict environmental standards. The recent move to ask 300 polluting enterprises to leave Beijing and the imposition of a 300,000-yuan fine seem to be just the beginning. The real challenge lies ahead with the implementation of daily fines and stricter enforcement of environmental laws.
