At the same time, the notice also pointed out that implementing the spirit of General Secretary Jinping’s important speech and providing strong disciplinary guarantees for the major, tough, and painful battles of pollution prevention and control is a major political task for disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels at present and in the future.

The national environmental protection system has achieved remarkable results in the comprehensive and strict governance of the party.
On the other hand, problems such as "micro-corruption" and "four winds" are still outstanding.

Disciplinary inspection and supervision organs found in the disciplinary review that the “micro-corruption” issues such as the supervision of favors, the enforcement of favors, the use of supervision and evaluation for profit, the need to eat and take cards, etc.
, private use of public vehicles, reception of banquets, and other hidden violations of the spirit of the eight central regulations, The phenomenon of inaction and disorder is still prominent.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the number of people in the environmental protection department who have been sanctioned by the party has been increasing year by year, with an average annual increase of 61%.
