energy saving

China is under great pressure and facing many challenges if it hopes to achieve its goal of cutting by 20 percent the amount of energy it uses to produce a unit of GDP. The China government decision-makers have basically ruled out the possibility of setting up a Ministry of Energy in at least the coming three years. But the central government is considering establishing a special office directly under the State Council to help manage the energy saving industry. Senior officials, including one vice-premier, are likely to head the office. The proposal, if finalized, may quell recent calls to reform the administration of the energy saving industry.
