00:00:32Motor vehicles may be fined.
00:00:35Noises inside and outside the subway are legislated to prevent them.
00:00:41Guangzhou City is making
00:00:45Overall, it is to make up for the shortcomings in local law enforcement by relying more on power handling in the past and turning to
00:00:56judicial judgment to break the ingrained thinking.
00:01:00The number of noise creations did not exceed the standard, but it was still judged as noise pollution.
00:01:03The identification of noise infringement is no longer based on the division of responsibilities.
00:01:07The emission standard has reached the quality
00:01:11stipulated by administrative regulations. As long as it affects
00:01:15the living peace of the surrounding public, you still have to bear
00:01:19the responsibility to eliminate the impact and stop the harm. These are the responsibilities
00:01:22of infringement. News 1+1 Tonight, we focus on how to solve
00:01:26noise pollution and environmental governance. We must achieve our goals.
00:01:42Hello everyone, welcome to the live broadcast of News 1+1. Noise
00:01:46pollution is invisible and intangible, but it can indeed be very
00:01:50troublesome at times. For example, sometimes such noise pollution can prevent you from getting
00:01:53a good night's sleep, because of the noisy motor vehicles at night,
00:01:57because of the square dancing until the early morning, and because of, for example, some
00:02:01low-frequency vibrations, etc. And some noises
00:02:05will make you passively forced to become a listener, for example, in the subway,
00:02:09on the public bus, some people play their mobile phones and their tablet computers
00:02:13with very loud sounds, etc. How to solve
00:02:17such problems? Let's take a look at some data first. This is the total
00:02:20number of noise complaints in 2025. We can see that it reached
00:02:246.833 million cases, an increase of
00:02:27938,000 cases compared to 2024. And in addition, what I see is that
00:03:00systematic regulations have been made for noise pollution prevention and control. At the same time, many
00:03:04places have also explored the prevention and control of noise pollution
00:03:07through local legislation. Today's program will start from the local legislative
00:03:11work in related fields that Guangzhou is promoting. Let's start from
00:03:15that. The maximum fine for noise disturbance from square dancing
00:03:19is 20,000 yuan. Playing electronic products aloud on public buses and subways
00:03:22can be fined up to 1,000 yuan. These noise pollution problems
00:03:26in daily life are expected to be solved in Guangzhou.
00:03:50Guangzhou City's formulation of local regulations for noise pollution prevention and control this time, overall, is to make up for the shortcomings in noise governance through local legislation,
00:03:54so that noise pollution prevention and control gradually shifts from relying more on post-event
00:03:58handling to source control.
00:04:17Article 16 of Guangzhou's draft for comments stipulates that
00:04:20for those who play sounds from electronic devices on public transportation
00:04:24vehicles, the personnel on duty should dissuade them. If dissuasion
00:04:28is ineffective, they can report to the public security.
00:06:43After the responsibilities are clear, the key is implementation. Article 19 of the
00:06:47draft for comments stipulates that if an entity or individual discovers
00:06:51illegal noise pollution, they can complain or report it through the 12345 government service
00:06:55hotline or other means. The handling department
00:06:58should arrive at the scene within two hours to verify and handle it.
00:07:02Arriving at the scene within two hours is mainly to strengthen departmental
00:07:06responsibility and improve handling efficiency. But it needs to be explained
00:07:10that arriving at the scene for verification does not mean that the violation can be immediately determined and the
00:07:13penalty completed. It still needs to be handled according to law in conjunction with the on-site
00:07:17situation and relevant evidence. dealt with.
00:07:20We can see that the change in the governance idea is quite clear, from persuasion in the past to punishment now,
00:07:24from small fines to large fines, and of course there are more
00:07:27other changes. So what is the legal basis for Guangzhou's local legislation this time?
00:07:31The first article of this draft for comments clearly states it. Let's take a look. According to the Ecological
00:07:35Environment Law of the People's Republic of China and other laws and regulations, combined with the actual situation of this city.
00:07:39it is formulated. based on the actual situation.
00:08:16Um, good. We know that the Environmental Protection Law
00:08:20has made some framework regulations for noise pollution prevention and control. However,
00:08:24the situation of noise pollution in various places varies greatly.
00:08:28Therefore, local legislation is needed
00:08:32to refine the superior law within the framework
00:08:35of the superior law, combined with the actual situation of the locality.
00:08:39So in this regard, Guangzhou City,
00:08:43as a large city with a thousand-year history of commerce,
00:08:47faces the problems of unclear departmental responsibilities in noise pollution prevention and control,
00:08:51frequent and high incidence of noise pollution disputes, and difficulty in mediating
00:08:54noise pollution disputes. In response to these
00:08:58difficulties in the practice of noise pollution prevention and control,
00:09:01Guangzhou City this time
00:09:05has made these provisions for noise pollution.
00:09:09Guangzhou City this time on our noise.
00:10:12One of them, for example, the penalty for noise pollution caused by playing electronic devices aloud on subways and buses,
00:10:16is stipulated in the draft for comments. Everyone is more concerned about two things. First, it's not just persuasion
00:10:20and there are punitive measures. Then, the key is that the intensity of the punishment
00:10:24is considered to be relatively high, ranging from 200 to 1,000 yuan.
00:10:28Before, in some cities, 200 was the upper limit. But this time in Guangzhou's legislation,
00:10:32200 is the starting point. How do you view the intensity of this punishment? What kind of consideration
00:10:35is behind it? In addition, the process is to persuade first and then punish.
00:10:39first persuade, then punish.
00:10:41.
00:10:47I also noticed that there are some comments online
00:10:51regarding this draft for comments. From the relevant provisions
00:10:55of the draft for comments, it actually adheres to the principle of
00:10:59proportionality between law and punishment that I just mentioned. Because if we look at this draft for comments,
00:11:02regarding the issue of playing sounds from electronic devices
00:11:06on the subway, it stipulates that the personnel
00:11:10on duty should first dissuade them. If dissuasion is ineffective
00:11:14or they refuse to rectify, then they will report it. Moreover, after the public security
00:11:17organ receives the report, it does not mean
00:11:21that they will immediately punish them. They will take
00:11:25criticism and education measures against the relevant person. Only when criticism and education
00:11:28do not achieve the desired effect will they impose a fine.
00:11:32So our entire set of provisions adheres to the concept of
00:11:36punishment and education, treating punishment as a last resort.
00:11:40However, our goal is still to hope that through early
00:11:44persuasion and early education, everyone will
00:11:48jointly maintain a quiet environment in the carriage.
00:11:51.
00:11:54There's also one thing here: how to manage the problem of noise. Because, for example, some
00:11:58people think this is noise, but for example, for square dancing that's played very loudly,
00:12:02this music, the dancers are immersed in it and enjoy it,
00:12:06but for others who need to rest, this is a disturbance.
00:12:09How to balance the struggle between
00:12:13these different rights?
00:12:14.
00:12:19I think this problem is indeed very important in noise pollution prevention and control.
00:12:23ah very important.
00:12:52First, it emphasizes source control. In this draft for comments,
00:12:56we see that spatial planning and the delineation of sensitive areas
00:12:59for buildings are done. Through such spatial zoning,
00:13:03we enable relevant operators and individuals to know
00:13:07what the main function of this area is.
00:13:11What is the acceptable or relevant noise
00:13:15emission standard or limit? This is the first aspect.
00:13:18Second, I think we need to achieve a balance,
00:13:22not wait until disputes arise before weighing interests.
00:13:26We can resolve such conflicts
00:13:30through some technical means before disputes arise.
00:13:34This is also what I just mentioned is a very big highlight
00:13:38in the correct construction, that is, the technological means
00:13:41we emphasize. If we look at this draft, we will
00:13:45find that there are some clauses that stipulate, for example, that citizens
00:13:49who dance in public places should
00:13:53use directional sound technology. In this way,
00:13:57on the one hand, we also respect the healthy
00:14:00needs of citizens participating in such healthy entertainment activities.
00:14:04At the same time, it also guarantees the right of other citizens to enjoy
00:14:08a peaceful environment. So I think we should first
00:14:12avoid the occurrence of disputes through scientific and technological methods from the source.
00:14:15Then if disputes occur, then we need to go back to the relationship
00:14:19between noise and noise pollution, which is
00:14:23that
00:14:59In May this year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, together with the Ministry of Education and 11 other departments
00:15:03and units, released the China Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Report
00:15:072026, which shows that in 2025, noise complaints
00:15:10accounted for 54.0% of all ecological
00:15:14and environmental pollution complaints and reports, ranking
00:15:17first among all environmental pollution factors. On August 15
00:15:20this year, the Ecological Environment Law of the People's Republic of China,
00:15:24but Zhang's voice was getting louder every night.
00:16:08started to suffer from insomnia and anxiety. The noise was very sharp and piercing. There were two
00:16:12noises, one was a rumbling sound, and the other was a small air conditioner blowing that
00:16:16noise. After multiple investigations, Ms. Zhang located
00:16:20the source of the noise to the seafood shop downstairs. Inside the shop
00:16:24were three rows of fish tanks tightly connected to the wall.
00:16:27The water pumps and aerators ran 24 hours a day
00:16:31without interruption, continuously producing low-frequency vibration noise, which transmitted
00:16:35upwards along the wall.
00:16:49But the noise disturbance problem has never been completely eliminated.
00:16:52.
00:17:00On April 16th this year, Ms. Zhang filed a lawsuit with the Xujiang District Court,
00:17:04requesting the court to order the defendant, the aquatic product merchant, to stop.
00:17:32As long as it affects the living peace of the surrounding public, you still have to bear the responsibility to eliminate the impact and stop the harm. These are the responsibilities
00:17:35of infringement.
00:18:22Guide market operators to make full predictions and assessments of whether their business premises layout, selection, and procurement of machinery and equipment, and normal operations will affect the peace of life
00:18:26of surrounding residents. If so,
00:18:29then they should actively rectify and reduce
00:18:33and mitigate it from the source.
00:18:36mitigate it,
00:19:56The biggest difference between this noise problem and other pollution problems
00:20:00is that it is a perceptual harm, which means
00:20:04that once it occurs, it will directly affect people.
00:20:50This time, when we were compiling the Ecological Environment Law, we paid special attention
00:20:54to the problem you mentioned. For example, regarding the concept of noise pollution,
00:20:57in the past, we said that noise pollution was
00:21:01noise that exceeded the standard and disturbed people. These two conditions constituted
00:21:05noise pollution. Now, in law, in addition to exceeding the standard,
00:21:09or if you should have taken control measures but did not, that is also
00:21:12within the scope of noise pollution control. So this subjective
00:21:16feeling is not a criterion for determining whether it is.
00:22:21I think there are several points. First, it strengthens preventive measures. For example,
00:22:25we now require that at the planning and site selection stage,
00:22:28especially for social noise,
00:22:32you must assess whether it is likely to cause
00:22:36corresponding harm and disturbance to the public. Otherwise,
00:22:40it should not be set up here. This is a very important measure. Second, as I just
00:22:44mentioned, we have expanded the concept of noise pollution.
00:22:47Third, the channels and mechanisms
00:22:51for dispute resolution have also been expanded, because
00:22:55in many cases, noise disturbance can be resolved through channels such as
00:22:59民间 mediation, property management, residents' committees, etc.
00:23:02This includes the environmental protection departments of the people's government and other departments
00:23:06that can also mediate and handle disputes. If mediation
00:23:10and handling are unsuccessful, they can file a lawsuit with the people's court.
00:23:13in court. Many
00:23:16places, including Guangzhou and Beijing mentioned just now, are promoting it.
00:24:46We can see that for invisible and intangible noise pollution, our prevention and control measures are timely and tangible.
