Chinese officials or enterprise leaders who fail in their energy conservation and emission reduction efforts will face scrutiny by a strict "one ballot veto." "Failure or success in achieving environmental targets has become an important assessment of local government performance," said Zhang Lijun, vice director of the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA), at a press conference on energy conservation. He said it would be implemented throughout the country and was a "unified requirement" of the Party and the State Council.

Amid mounting pressure from rising domestic prices, the Chinese central authorities said Tuesday they would put both overheating hazards and inflation risks at the top of their macro control targets next year. Endeavor will be made to prevent the national economy from overheating and at the same time to avoid real inflation on the back of current price hikes, according to a conference of the Political Bureau of Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.
