To talk more about China's environmental protection targets, we have Wu Changhua, the Greater China Director of the Climate Group. But before we start, let's take a look at a set of numbers to have a clearer picture of how bad the environment is.
Air pollution affects everybody. In 2014, only eight of 74 major Chinese cities subject to PM 2.5 air quality monitoring met the national standard for clear air.
Alarmingly according to another report, more than 16 percent of soil in the Chinese mainland is polluted and nearly 20 percent of the farming land is polluted.
In terms of water, some 60 percent of ground water checked by 4,778 monitoring stations was rated as "bad" or "very bad".
