Notes

1. Two Sessions refers to the People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The low number of environmental complaints for 2007 follows from statistical reports and is either caused by an error or by deliberate underreporting in anticipation of the 2008 Olympics.

2. For a detailed comparison of the 1989 EPL, see the 2012 draft revision and the 2013 second draft revision: http://www.wageningenur.nl/en/show/First-and-second-revision-drafts-of-the-1989-Environmental-Protection-Law.htm
