Strict ecological and environmental protection requirements can force enterprises to transform, upgrade, and develop healthily. It can be foreseen that in the wave of ecological civilization construction, some enterprises will be ruthlessly eliminated by the "big waves washing away the sand", while others will be reborn from the ashes, enhancing their vitality and market competitiveness, becoming bigger and stronger, and becoming healthier.

At the press conference of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, spokesperson Wang Guoqing answered questions raised by reporters and said: In 2017, China delivered a very impressive economic annual report, with a total economic output exceeding 82 trillion yuan, almost equivalent to ranking fifth to tenth in the total GDP, which is the sum of the six countries including the United Kingdom, India, France, Italy, Brazil, and Canada. The growth rate of 6.9% is also commendable among major global economies.

For some in society who believe that strict environmental law enforcement in 2017 has affected economic development, China has handed over an answer that they cannot refute. In 2017, China's economy improved in quality and efficiency, transitioning from high-speed growth to high-quality development, with high appearance and good temperament. It has been proven that environmental protection can promote higher economic benefits and better quality.

The author believes that, firstly, we need to enhance our understanding of the importance of ecological environment protection work. Environmental protection is a fundamental national policy in China. The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly proposed to incorporate the construction of ecological civilization into the overall layout of the "Five Body" of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have made unprecedented efforts to promote ecological civilization construction and environmental protection. At present, the public has formed a consensus that green mountains and clear waters are invaluable assets. In the new normal and new era, regions and enterprises should enhance their understanding of the importance of ecological environment protection work, and cannot go back to the blind development model of resource and environment competition. The clear legal bottom line of the Environmental Protection Law cannot be crossed, the ecological red line cannot be touched, and development must be green. Only through economic development, transformation and upgrading, and pollution prevention and control, can enterprises have a way out. We must adhere to the "ecological protection red line, environmental quality bottom line, resource utilization online, and negative environmental access list" as means to strengthen spatial, total, and access environmental management.

Secondly, implementing strict environmental inspections and stricter environmental standards is a feasible path for the transformation and development of industries with high pollution and high emissions, which is conducive to the healthy development of the economy.

The author suggests that on the basis of central and provincial environmental inspections, various forms of uninterrupted environmental inspections should be carried out in various regions based on actual conditions. Prominent issues discovered during inspections should be reported to the local government for supervision and implementation, and the accounts should be cancelled one by one. Provincial ecological and environmental protection departments should regularly disclose to the public the environmental inaction and slow actions of local party committees, governments, and relevant departments, the failure to implement environmental responsibilities, the failure to implement grid based environmental supervision responsibilities, and prominent environmental problems found in enterprises during inspections, and instruct relevant parties to make progress in investigating, handling, and holding accountable.

For cities with concentrated environmental violations by industrial enterprises, inadequate overall promotion of environmental pollution prevention and control, inadequate implementation of responsibilities, and prominent environmental pollution problems, it is recommended to implement hanging supervision or public interviews with city government officials, and take measures such as regional approval restrictions as necessary to effectively exert the deterrent effect of supervision.

In addition, it is recommended to introduce stricter environmental standards. For example, the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan has been introduced, which includes papermaking as one of the top ten key industries for water pollution control, and requires the closure of small enterprises with poor environmental protection facilities. "Shui Shitiao" pointed out that by the end of 2017, the Chinese paper industry will strive to complete the transformation of pulp to chlorine free bleaching or adopt other low pollution pulp making technologies; By 2020, high water consuming industries such as papermaking will meet advanced quota standards. For small and medium-sized paper enterprises, if no changes are made, they will inevitably be gradually phased out and shut down. Because the stricter the environmental standards, the more it can promote fair competition in the market, promote enterprise transformation and upgrading, ultimately achieve survival of the fittest, eliminate technologically backward and small-scale polluting enterprises, and achieve a win-win situation for economic and ecological benefits.

Thirdly, environmental inspections are becoming increasingly strict and environmental standards are becoming higher, which will become the new normal for ecological and environmental protection work in the future.

Faced with the dual pressures of the market and environmental protection, it is recommended that enterprises abandon any illusions. The environmental law enforcement of the ecological and environmental protection department can only become stricter, and the environmental standards can only be higher and higher. A corporate leader said it very vividly: Nowadays, environmental protection is like a fierce tiger chasing relentlessly. If a company fails to keep up with the new situation and runs slowly, it will be bitten or even killed by the fierce tiger of environmental protection.

Strict ecological and environmental protection requirements can force enterprises to transform, upgrade, and develop healthily. It can be foreseen that in the wave of ecological civilization and environmental protection, some enterprises will be ruthlessly eliminated by the "big waves washing away the sand", while others will be reborn from the ashes, enhancing their vitality and market competitiveness, becoming bigger and stronger, and becoming healthier. As an eco-friendly company, we must have firm confidence, strictly enforce laws, and promote high-quality economic development.
