"Perfunctory rectification problems are outstanding!" Xu Bijiu, executive deputy director of the Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Inspectorate Office, said in an interview on the 22nd. "Shehong Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau's'fake tricks' in the process of formulating rectification plans will be completed. Nine projects of the People’s Republic of China were included in the rectification plan, and the Shehong City Government took the form when auditing the rectification plan, and the audit process was perfunctory."

The 2019 Yangtze River warning film disclosed that a large amount of domestic sewage in Shehong City, Sichuan Province was directly discharged into the Fujian River through the overflow of the county sewage treatment plant.
"The investigation also found that the river chief system in Shehong City is in vain, patrolling the river does not check the river, and the river does not control the river."
Xu Bijiu said that as of June 2020, the Office of the Leading Group of Shehong City's Ecological Environmental Protection Supervision Work has urged the Shehong City Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau 12 times to speed up the improvement process, and the Shehong City Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau is still doing nothing.
On the 22nd, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment interviewed the governments of six cities (districts) including Chizhou in Anhui Province, Shangrao in Jiangxi Province, Xiaogan in Hubei Province, Hengyang in Hunan Province, Nanchuan in Chongqing and Suining in Sichuan Province on the ineffective rectification of prominent ecological and environmental problems in the Yangtze River Economic Zone.
This is also the first concentrated interview conducted by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment focusing on the Yangtze River Basin.
In view of the requirements for epidemic prevention and control, the interview on the day was conducted in video format.
"The rectification process is nothing but a virtual reality", "work flows from a formality", and even "falsification", Xu Bijiu said many times during the interviews with the above-mentioned local governments.
"Disorderly mining of mines in the Dalishan Provincial Scenic Area has caused ecological damage. This problem is very typical and prominent. There are not only the inaction of relevant government departments, but also the problem of fraud or even chaos." In response to the ineffective rectification of Chizhou City, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment Wang Shuguang, deputy director of the East China Inspection Bureau, said at the meeting that day, Dongzhi County lowered the standards and relaxed requirements in rectification and supervision, and even resorted to fraud, resulting in problems that have not been completely resolved.
Chizhou Mayor Cao Longcan said, “After hearing this, I feel deeply self-blame, deeply ashamed, and deeply taught. We must follow the interview requirements to know the shame, learn from the lesson, make immediate rectification, comprehensive rectification, and thorough rectification.”
In an interview with Xiaogan City, Xu Bijiu pointed out that in 2018, when the Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Inspector "looked back" and stationed in, the people were assigned to report that Huanglong Lake in Hanchuan City was occupied by a large area illegally and caused ecological damage.
Based on the investigation results of Hanchuan City, Xiaogan City publicly determined that the reported issue was not true.
However, the investigation found that Hanchuan City’s handling of public reports was lax and untrue.
Xiaogan Mayor Xiong Zhengyu said, “According to the requirements of today’s meeting, we will further consolidate work responsibilities, strict rectification standards, speed up the progress of the project, complete the rectification tasks before the end of March, and resolutely eliminate surface rectification, false rectification, and perfunctory rectification.” .
During the interviews with the six cities (districts), Xu Bijiu asked to carefully analyze the causes of the problems, formulate an operable, checkable, and appraised rectification plan, draw a note, and issue a closing account.
At the same time, we must deeply understand the important position and role of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in the overall economic and social development, accurately grasp the new development stage, thoroughly implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and highlight precise pollution control, scientific pollution control, and pollution control according to law. , Always put the protection and restoration of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River in an overwhelming position.
"In recent years, the central ecological and environmental protection inspector's feedback and the prominent ecological and environmental problems disclosed in the Yangtze River warning film must be investigated by inferences to ensure that the rectification effect can withstand the test of history, practice and the people," Xu Bijiu said.
Xu Bijiu told reporters that the purpose of this interview is to further spread pressure and send a clear signal to the outside world: Although the "Thirteenth Five-Year" period of pollution prevention and control has been successfully and over-fulfilled, the place cannot "rest and relax". It is still necessary to maintain strategic determination, to maintain the same direction and undiminished efforts, to fight the battle of pollution prevention and control, and make a good start for the "14th Five-Year Plan".
