2. Generally, the decision on punishment for environmental violations needs to be given by the Environmental Protection Bureau. The main punishment means are: fine, deadline management (including shutdown management). If it can't be implemented, the usual means is that the Environmental Protection Agency brings a lawsuit to the local court, and the local government proposes to shut it down. At this stage, it will not enter the criminal filing procedure.
3. If the environmental violation becomes a criminal offence, it needs to be transferred to the Environmental Protection Brigade of the Public Security Bureau for handling, and the Public Security Bureau will file an investigation and then prosecute and sentence.
