President Xi Jinping has reiterated the importance of combating air pollution, and emphasized that a blue sky also brings happiness. To improve the quality of air we breathe, emission control technologies have to be improved to target the source of pollutants, for which more financial input is needed. Also, there is an urgent need to strike a balance between environmental protection and economic development.

Since China's economy was a planned economy for decades before the reform and opening-up policy was implemented in the late 1970s, the country needs a longer time to coordinate its environmental policy with the market economy system, whose requirements are varied and ever changing.

In other words, China has to have in place both short-term and long-term environmental policies which will also take economic development into consideration, in order to improve the air quality. Of course, the main focus of those policies should be long-term environmental governance.

Long-term air quality management must focus on controlling air pollution at source, both manmade and natural sources. Manmade sources include stationary sources such as power plants and factories, mobile sources like motor vehicles, aircraft and marine vessels, and disposal of waste in landfills and incinerators. And natural sources include dust, wildfires and the methane emitted by animals.

To control pollution from stationary sources, the coordination among law-enforcement agencies, administrative departments in charge of environmental protection and enterprises has to be strengthened. And to control pollution from mobile sources, the authorities need to develop cleaner energy and ecofriendly vehicles such as "zero-emission" cars.

Pollution is also caused by sewers and hydrological modifications (rainfall and melting ice), in which tracing the pollution to a single source is difficult. And since such kind of pollution is hard to measure, only a holistic approach to combating pollution needs to be adopted. This will ensure actions to improve air quality do not depend solely on pollution data.

As a part of China manufacturer, we support to optimize environment for ourselves and our children, and also wonder to contribute ourselves to China environment protection work. We also believe that, we will get a better tomorrow according to Chinese work together, refund the blue sky to ourselves.
