Beijing vows to get tough on polluters

Click HERE
Not much reasons given as to WHY Beijing is doing this, but plenty of HOW it is doing it, mostly about how to ensure laws and regulations (which are already in place) are strictly adhered to and not compromised by corruption....and this caught my eye:
"stop viewing environmental protection as a burden and to remember that the growth-at-all-costs policy is a thing of the past.... China is now seeking slower but quality growth as part of the new normal advocated by President Xi Jinping. We need to recognise that we are at a new phase now and to start viewing environmental protection as a catalyst for our economic restructuring and upgrading efforts, instead of an impediment,"
