4.95. While the current policy initiatives are intended to promote the expansion of higher value added and knowledge-based activities through innovation, environmental considerations are also at the core of China's efforts in the manufacturing sector. They aim to reduce energy and resources consumed and pollutants emissions released per unit of industrial added value by 2025. On 1 January 2018, China implemented a new environmental tax policy aimed at promoting environmental protection and reducing pollution. The new tax is set to affect companies in various economic sectors, mainly in manufacturing. It replaces the pollution discharge fee previously in place and applies to four pollutant categories when they are discharged directly into the environment in Chinese territory: atmospheric pollutants, water pollutants, solid waste, and noise. [57] Reductions on environmental tax are provided to companies that pollute less than the standard. Penalties have been also strengthened.
[57] Exclusions include discharge of sewage/domestic waste into treatment facilities and solid waste into storage/disposal facilities where these meet national standards, emissions from agricultural production, and motor vehicle/vessel/aircraft emissions.

4.104. In April 2020, in an effort to boost automobile consumption, 11 ministries and commissions, including the NDRC and MOFCOM, jointly issued a series of measures. In substance, the regulations delay the implementation of the National VI emission standards for six months (until January 2021), for the production of light vehicles (total mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes). [63] Measures were also taken, along the same lines, to extend the financial subsidy available for purchasing [New Energy Vehicles] NEVs to end 2022 , accelerate the elimination of scrapped diesel trucks through preferential tax policies, (...).
[63] The National VI Emission Standards refer to the new emission standards on diesel particulate filters.
