China will speed up cost-effectiveness audit to rein in the waste of resources

Interesting.....I guess this is what a more involved civil society would prevent in other places...but good to see the public acknowledgement and willingness to deal with it all the same. As with all here though the devil is in the implementation....time will tell:

I would suggest the possibility of also beginning a campaign to force property management companies to install solar panels to power the flashing christmas, new year and chinese spring festival lights I can also see shining away outside my window,...and outside the windows of many other Beijing apartments. This would be great way to curb the waste of the national resource of coal, oil and energy.
