Report

China is the world's biggest polluter. But toxic¹ smog in its cities is increasingly generating enormous public anger.

Now the authorities say they want the green industries to have a turnover² of more than $700bn by 2015. They're offering tax breaks and subsidies³ to promote growth and innovation within the sector⁴.

It's the latest move by the government to curb⁵ pollution. Last month, the authorities ordered hundreds of steel, paper and leather factories to shut down production lines that were causing high levels of pollution.
