From The Standard:
The developer of the giant Three Gorges hydroelectric project and the mainland’s top environmental regulator are on a collision course that could determine whether Beijing is serious about cracking down on the country’s worsening environmental problems.
If the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) wins its struggle with China Three Gorges Project Corp, that could mark its emergence as a serious power in Beijing.
The battle was joined January 18, when SEPA ordered construction at 30 large projects in 13 provinces to be halted for failing to meet environmental standards.
