On January 23, 2017, the Chinese government published a list of industries, including computer, communications and electronic equipment manufacturing, that will be required to register under the new critical monitoring system outlined in November 2016. The system will track companies’ air and water discharges, which may be taxed.
While more than 20 industries must register this year, computer, communications and electronic equipment manufacturers are included in the second wave of companies which must join the system by 2020.
IPC will continue to post updates as they become available.
