| Message | On behalf of the Zìyóutuánjiédǎng, In what manner does the Lixiandang propose the removal of enforcement of pollution prevention guidelines will incentivise industrial power of the free market to follow undisclosed "economic incentives" towards ecological protection rather than maintain track, as has historically been shown, with the highest profits available in a free market system that unilaterally are mostly environmentally hostile? The Zìyóutuánjiédǎng believe more regulation, not less, would ensure environmentalism receives the required attention it deserves, rather than putting the issue of ecological safety in the hands of market corporations that cannot be, in our beliefs, trusted with protecting more than their bottom line. |

| Message | I respond to the concerns raised by the unelected opposition by the simple notion that the perceived problem highlighted with our governments new policies is in fact its greatest strength. Under the ideals of the free market all corporations indeed strive for the greatest profits and in the pursuit of these profits they encourage great innovation and new ways of thinking - a much greater pool of thought that from a single government agency. Instead of spending tremendous amount of time, work and money to design legal regulations that have to be account for all possible variable and situations - and which corporations will then only be motivated to follow to a bare minimum - our government will begin a policy of taxing pollution in combination with subsidizing the most environmentally friendly technologies understood. Thus the greater the reduction of emissions, the greater the profits of our industries, and the greater the advancement of relevant technologies. -Wen Weiyuan Minister of Trade and Technology |
