BEIJING: China's cabinet has announced measures to curb the country's notorious air pollution, one of the many environmental challenges that are increasingly angering the public.
The broad measures approved by the state council include putting strict controls in place for industries that produce large amounts of waste and pollution, but it will likely be up to local governments to work out the details.
In a meeting chaired by Premier Li Keqiang, the council approved 10 "tough measures to accomplish tough tasks,'' the council said in a statement on its website.
