The inspections were launched following approval by the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council, in accordance with regulations on central ecological and environmental protection inspections, the release said.

Inspection teams are typically led by ministerial-level officials and report to a central leading group headed by a vice-premier of the State Council, the country's Cabinet.

The release said each inspection team will establish a hotline and postal mailbox to receive public complaints and reports related to ecological and environmental protection issues.
