In recent days, Guangzhou's environmental protection department has launched a strong crackdown on environmental violations and investigated and punished a number of environmental law-breaking enterprises. On the 24th, the Guangzhou Environmental Protection Bureau disclosed four typical environmental violations. Some enterprises started production before the environmental impact assessment was approved, and some continued to produce secretly after being investigated. The environmental protection department transferred the heads of the enterprises to the public security organs for detention in accordance with the law.

The Guangzhou Environmental Protection Bureau said that the cases investigated this time are representative of environmental violations and that severe punishment will be waiting for these companies. The environmental protection department once again called on business owners not to treat the law as a joke and not to try to evade environmental law enforcement with a fluke mentality.
