Pollution is a state secret? - China Take - February 27,2013 - BONTV China Posted: 28 Feb 2013 12:51 AM PST Pollution is a state secret? - China Take - February 27,2013 - BONTV China Go to bon.tv to watch the full episode According to the Legal Daily Newspaper, a Beijing-based lawyer, Dong Zhengwei, e-mailed the Ministry of Environmental Protection on January 30 asking it to publish information about an extensive survey into the state of pollution in China. The survey, which began in 2006, tested 200000 samples of soil, ground water and farm produce nationwide, producing millions of pieces of data, but its conclusions were never made public. Dong asked about testing methods, results, causes of soil pollution and its prevention. However he said when the Ministry replied last Sunday, the 22-page letter didn't include any information about the survey's results. And why was that? Well, according to Dong the ministry said the information was a "state secret". Speaking to the newspaper Dong said slammed the excuse as unfounded, because regulations on disclosure of government information actually allow for the release of so-called 'state secrets' if they involve public interests. This poster has his own theory as to why information of such vital interest to the public should be hushed up by the very government agency charged with protecting the environment.

The newly appointed chief of China's Communist Party Xi Jinping is set to take over the presidency at a national congress in March. But the full line-up of government officials is not yet in place and China's current commerce minister is likely to step down after what some have said was a political snub at the party's congress in November. EU leaders want to avoid following the United States' decision last year to impose duties on Chinese solar power products, aware that Europe needs China to help it emerge from three years of economic crisis. But EU officials and diplomats say they have made little progress, accusing the Chinese of "stonewalling", and they complain of a limbo in the ministry that will not end until after the March congress.
