It’s sad to say that the best sign that you are doing something right — and well — is that the administration wants to hobble you. That appears to be the lesson learned from Premier Sean Chen’s announcement on Tuesday that the government is to review the role of the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) in environmental impact assessments (EIAs) of industrial development projects.
Apparently the EPA’s bureaucrats and its EIA committees are proving just too competent in protecting the environment, to the detriment of the nation’s economic development and industry.
