Politics of pollution: China's oil giants take a choke-hold on power
Quote:
To be sure, many sources contribute to air pollution levels that hit records in January, but analysts say the oil companies' foot-dragging and disregard of environmental regulations underscore a critical challenge facing a toothless environment ministry in its mission to curb air pollution.
With widespread and rising public anger changing the political calculus, it also poses a broader question of whether the incoming administration led by Communist Party chief Xi Jinping will stand up to powerful vested interests in a country where state-owned enterprises have long trumped certain ministries in the quest for economic growth at all costs.
"I think the Communist Party's new government should weaken CNPC and Sinopec," said Wang Yukai, a professor from the National School of Administration. "These interest groups have too much power."

They took over SPC and had a whole crapload of modern refining technologies 2 years ago and they are not using it? China's Big Oil is certainly learning the ropes well from their US counterparts. Screw the environment, too bad for the people. Our profits are more important!
