Wang Guangzheng, chairman of the National People's Congress’s Environment and Resources Protection Committee, said in an explanation on the draft amendment to the environmental law that the total control system is an important measure for environmental protection work from controlling pollutant discharge concentrations to protecting and improving environmental quality. China began to implement a total discharge control system for pollutants from the end of the 20th century.

The draft revision focuses on solving the problem of low illegal costs and high compliance costs. It also specifies that enterprises must not only be responsible for reducing pollutant emissions, but also bear responsibility for the impact of pollutant emissions on public environmental quality.

Article 24 of the draft stipulates that units that generate environmental pollution and other public hazards must incorporate environmental protection work into their plans and establish a responsibility system for environmental protection, including the responsibility system of the responsible person for the company and reporting environmental protection work to the workers’ congress and accept supervision.
