不能以犧牲環境換取經濟增長
The head of China's top environmental watchdog stressed that the environment should not be "sacrificed" for economic growth in the country.
生態環境部部長李干杰說，不能以犧牲環境換取經濟增長。
While some people say one-size-fits-all approaches in environmental law enforcement have damaged economic development, others say local governments have relaxed their efforts in environmental protection as the country experiences an economic downturn, Li said.
他說，關于環?！坝袃煞N聲音”，一種聲音講環保搞“一刀切”，影響了經濟發展。第二種聲音就是由于經濟下行壓力比較大，有些地方放寬了、放松了。
Those things have happened in the country but only in a few areas, and those cases do not reflect the general situation in China, the minister said.
這兩種聲音反映的現象、情況確實在一些地方是存在的，是發生過的。但是，就全國而言，它不是主流，不是一個普遍現象。
"We resolutely oppose those tendencies. Once we find such cases, we will resolutely stop them and hold officials fully accountable," Li said.
他說：“對這兩種現象、兩種傾向、兩種問題，我們生態環境部都是堅決反對的，發現了也是堅決制止，嚴肅查處。”
The minister said it will be one of the key tasks for central environmental inspections to see whether local governments are making such sacrifices.
我們堅決反對放松、放寬環境監管，我們也在中央生態環境保護督察中把這個當做重點。
藍天保衛戰總體上進展和成效不錯 但還任重道遠
While the country has encountered some challenges in its environmental progress, there are also many opportunities for environmental protection work, he said.
在當前的形勢下，我們的污染防治攻堅戰一方面取得了進展和成效，另一方面也確實面臨的困難挑戰還不小不少。
Li also said China still confronts great challenges in curbing air pollution despite the tremendous improvement it made last year.
他說，總體講，一年多來，藍天保衛戰的進展和成效還是不錯的。
The 338 major cities across the country had fairly good air quality during 79.3 percent of the days in 2018, up by 1.3 percentage points year-on-year, he said.
2018年，全國338個地級以上城市優良天數比例提高了1.3個百分點，達到了79.3%。
The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cluster saw its average density of PM2.5, hazardous tiny particles, drop by 11.8 percent year-on-year, he added.
京津冀及周邊地區PM2.5濃度同比分別下降11.8%。
