It's an annual tradition to hold press conferences during the political season. One of the members of the CPPCC who briefed the media is from Elion resources, a private firm involved in land desertification and environmental protection in China.
"I think we need three things to bring our blue skies back. The first is the full participation of all residents, enterprises and the market. The second is law enforcement, and the third is to tackle environmental issues with the same fervour used in the crackdown on corruption. Thus we should be able to see the results," Wang Wenbiao, CPPCC member from Elion Resources Group, said.
