China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) has issued more than
150 national standards this year to support its blue-sky, clear-water and
clean-soil campaign, with over 80% designated as mandatory. Areas covered
include greenhouse gas emissions, Yellow River basin water-use quotas and green
mine construction. SAMR says in excess of 100 of these standards have been
implemented this year and it will continue to push formulation and
implementation of green-development standards.
