Inside the office of Nie Zhenbang in the Government Affairs Council compound, the heating was on, making the room’s temperature about 22 degrees Celsius, evoking a feeling of spring warmth.

Outside the door, Xia Gang walked in, holding a stack of documents, the day’s newspapers, and some correspondence.

In March, after inspecting Bashu Province and facing its severe pollution emission issues, Nie Zhenbang didn’t show much anger. As a central leader, he couldn’t lose his temper like a local cadre. There was the dignity of local leaders to consider.

He ordered Bashu Provincial Committee Secretary Guo Haoyu and Governor Pan Jianzhang to set up a task force, with Guo Haoyu acting as team leader and Pan Jianzhang as executive deputy team leader. The Vice Governor in charge of environmental protection led the team, which included the provincial Environmental Protection Bureau, the Commerce Department, the Industrial Department, the Public Security Department, and the Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee, to conduct a joint investigation, going directly to Daba City.

After ten days of investigation, Daba City’s Party Secretary Xia Mingda and Mayor Wang Yuanchao were dismissed from their positions and removed from their administrative leadership roles.

More than half of the Li Shan County committee was dismissed, and the Li Shan County development zone shut down sixty-seven polluting enterprises in one go. And by “shut down,” it meant a complete halt of operations, not just making improvements. At the same time, the persons responsible for enterprises suspected of illegal pollution were criminally detained and fined accordingly.

Meanwhile, following this, Nie Zhenbang called a national video-teleconference on comprehensive pollution control at the Government Affairs Council. Deputy provincial leaders from across the country responsible for environmental issues and heads of environmental bureaus attended the meeting.
