Environmental pollution is definitely a serious problem these days. But the government has consistently done more to strengthen its protection of the environment. Recently, a lot of chemical companies were closed to reduce the release of pollution. The country has also put a lot of financial resources into developing water purification and recycling systems to solve the problems of water pollution and shortages.
