News 1+1 Can the Yangtze River Protection Law be cured after the Yangtze River has been ＂sick＂ for more than ten years？

　　The Law on the Protection of the Yangtze River was officially implemented on March 1st. Can it provide a new model for China’s future legislation based on ecosystem? How should the Yangtze River Economic Belt really develop green?

　　News 1+1 connects with Chang Jiwen, deputy director of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the State Council Development Research Center, to analyze what changes will be brought by the Yangtze River Protection Law.

　　Q　The Yangtze River is "sick". Is the Yangtze River Protection Law "medicine"?

　　Chang Jiwen, Deputy Director of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the State Council Development Research Center:The Yangtze River basin has been "sick" in the past few years or even more than ten years. The problems of illegal fishing, pollution of the Yangtze River basin by chemical enterprises and smoke pollution are urgently needed to be solved by the Yangtze River Protection Law. If it is not to the point where it is impossible to cure or not to cure, the Yangtze River Protection Law will not be promulgated. Because in the past, there were various laws related to the protection of water bodies, such as the Law on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, the Law on Soil and Water Conservation, the Law on Forest Protection, etc., but the effect was not too great, so only a watershed law could be specially formulated to solve it.To stipulate a special system and stricter legal responsibilities to stop illegal activities..

　　Q　Yangtze River Protection LawWill it be more effective for the shortcomings in the ecological and environmental protection management of the Yangtze River Basin in the past?

　　Chang Jiwen, Deputy Director of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the State Council Development Research Center:I thinkWill be more effectively governed.. ①The punishment for the administrative counterpart is stricter.In the past, you may have done some acts without being punished. Now it is different. For example, if you engage in illegal fishing in production, you may confiscate fishing gear, including fishing boats, and be fined more than 10,000 yuan and less than 50,000 yuan. If you adopt methods such as poisonous fish, electric fish and fried fish, you may be fined more than 50,000 yuan and less than 500,000 yuan. If you violate the criminal law, you may be investigated for criminal responsibility. If some restaurants advertise in the name of selling wild fish, they will also be punished, with a maximum penalty of 2 million yuan. ②Stricter legal responsibilities have been imposed on local officials.If local officials do not seriously ensure the implementation of the law, they may face accountability. The highest accountability is to take the blame and resign, as well as dismissal and dismissal. This is the stricter legal responsibility after the strictest Environmental Protection Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) in history.

　　Q　Why should the Yangtze River protection start with a 10-year fishing ban?

　　Chang Jiwen, Deputy Director of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the State Council Development Research Center:The 10-year fishing ban has been scientifically demonstrated. On the basis of scientific argumentation, the state issued a fishing ban period, which was consolidated by the Yangtze River Protection Law. The Law on the Protection of the Yangtze River also stipulates a 10-year period for the investigation and evaluation of ecological biodiversity in the Yangtze River basin, including the restoration of plant and animal systems.It is beneficial to the ecological stability and biodiversity of the Yangtze River basin, and lays a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the Yangtze River basin in the future.. Its bottom line is to give priority to protection and green development, and the Yangtze River cannot be developed and utilized in a way that undermines the ability of sustainable development, so it must be protected first.After it is restored, the Yangtze River will be used in a sustainable way.This is the current rule of law model.

　　Q　Will economic development be affected if fishing is banned for 10 years?

　　Chang Jiwen, Deputy Director of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the State Council Development Research Center:Economic development will be affected in the short term, but in the long run, it will definitely promote economic development in a long term. ① In the short term, taking Jianli County, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province as an example, the transformation of fishermen is very painful. Because local finance can’t provide much money to support farmers’ transformation and production conversion, there are some difficulties in the short term. (2) in the long run, will not suffer. At present, the biggest impact is on the polluting economy and the ecologically destructive economy. Therefore, it will take some time for local transformation. We must grasp the rhythm and be patient. We must not be impatient and engage in polluting projects whenever there are difficulties. This is unacceptable. Therefore, if the work is in place and the pace of transformation is appropriate, it can promote the green competitiveness of cities in the Yangtze River Basin at home and even around the world. Now, we have been talking about green development, low-carbon development and circular development. Cities in the Yangtze River Basin should take this opportunity to enhance their competitiveness in the integration of green and low-carbon.

　　Q　How to grasp the balance between protection and development when formulating the detailed rules for the development of the Yangtze River Basin at the local level?

　　Chang Jiwen, Deputy Director of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the State Council Development Research Center:(1) strictly enforce the law, strictly implement the Yangtze River Protection Law, so that the requirements of the law can be implemented in production and life. 2 Actively and scientifically guide the green transformation. Although the foundation of transformation in some places is very weak, you have to transform. The sooner you transform, the more active you are. All localities should complement each other’s industries, form their own industries with advantages and characteristics, and carry out innovation.
