The Chinese government Tuesday issued a guideline to improve transparency in several key areas such as environmental protection and land use.
China will step up its efforts in tracking and disclosing information disclosure concerning environmental protection, said the State Council document published on the central government's official website.
According to the document, the government will better inform the public about air quality, water quality and details of environmental impact assessments for planned big projects.
It will also push forward information disclosure related to nuclear safety and press big polluters to actively publicize information about their pollutant discharges, it said.
The guideline also covered other areas of government work in which improved information disclosure is needed, such as management of public land. The government will allow the public to check and inquire about land requisition.
