Environmental Strategy and Planning in China

“The book extensively describes the transformation from pollution discharge fee to the environmental protection tax, which is and will greatly impact the driving forces and game rules of Chinese environmental protection. As one Chinese environmental protection worker, I think this is not only a reference for the researcher and regulator who are interested in Chinese environmental protection but also a handbook for the investor or entrepreneur who is conducting or intends to conduct business in the Chinese market.” (Rong Zhi‐Yi, Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Vol. 18 (4), 2022)
