JISCO has been served over sixteen enforcement instruments spanning last year and the present month for non-compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since <em>Di\u00e1logo Chino<\/em>\u2019s initial report on March 22, it has also been revealed that NEPA granted the mining giant an independent license to record its own air quality tests.<\/p>\n<p>A senior official at NEPA said JISCO currently has 11 air quality monitors in the vicinity of the plant, which also covers the residue disposal area. Monitoring activities are carried out around the clock.<\/p>\n<p>The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said records are submitted to the environment agency on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The environment is a common heritage of mankind everywhere, it\u2019s your duty to protect it<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>NEPA said the agency has seen spikes from JISCO\u2019s own records, which it said would be difficult to tamper with because it has a comprehensive auditing system.<\/p>\n<p>The official told <em>Di\u00e1logo Chino<\/em> that NEPA does not have the capacity to properly monitor the JISCO plant due to lack of funding for its Air Quality Management Programme.<\/p>\n<div class='block--pullout-stat block--pullout-stat--float cd-shortcode--factbox'>\n                <p class='block--pullout-stat__title'>$256,000<\/p>\n                <div class='block--pullout-stat__content'>\n                    <br \/>\nthe maximum cost to Jamaica's environmental regulator of procuring air quality monitors<br \/>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<p>It would cost the agency between $JA6 million (US$46,000) and $JA33 million (US$256,000) to procure a single air quality monitor device similar to the ones being used by the Chinese company, the source said.<\/p>\n<p>The official also indicated that plans are already underway to develop the Agency\u2019s air quality management programme but noted that it would take at least a decade to be completed.<\/p>\n<h2>Chinese Ambassador weighs in<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, Tian Qi, China\u2019s ambassador to Jamaica, has called on JISCO to carry-out \u2018<em>green cooperation\u2019<\/em> in its local mining activities. Speaking on the sidelines of a recent event where Jamaica formally <a href=\"https:\/\/eng.yidaiyilu.gov.cn\/qwyw\/rdxw\/85836.htm\">endorsed<\/a> China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative, Tian Qi said JISCO must do more to protect the environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ask them to do everything to protect the environment and to get along well with the local community, that means to do [sic] more feedback with the local communities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe environment here in Jamaica belongs to the Jamaican people, it also belongs to the whole human race. The environment is a common heritage of mankind everywhere, it\u2019s your duty to protect it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The JISCO Group is no stranger to environmental enforcements. Back in China, <a href=\"http:\/\/wwwen.ipe.org.cn\/IndustryRecord\/regulatory-record.aspx?companyId=50470&amp;dataType=0&amp;isyh=0\">records<\/a> from the Beijing-based Institute of Public &amp; Environmental Affairs (IPE) show that between 2016 and 2018, JISCO committed or is suspected of committing 16 environmental infractions.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016 and 2017,\u00a0following tougher enforcement of environmental laws,\u00a0one of its companies, the Gansu Dongxing Aluminum Industry, received a C rating in its environmental credit assessment. The company was the only large industrial enterprise to receive a C in the whole of Gansu province\u00a0in 2016.<\/p>\n<h2>Exporting industries \u2013 and pollution<\/h2>\n<p>In the past few years, as growth slowed in China and Premier Li Keqiang\u2019s \u2018war on pollution\u2019 intensified, China has begun exporting its industrial overcapacity to external markets.<\/p>\n<p>This involved developing heavy \u2013 often high-polluting \u2013 industries with many of its trading partners, with supposed mutual benefits.\u00a0 A Chinese ministry of foreign affairs\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmprc.gov.cn\/mfa_eng\/zxxx_662805\/t1418254.shtml\">2016 policy paper<\/a> pledges to develop \u201cproduction capacity\u201d in Latin American and Caribbean countries.<\/p>\n<p>In China, officials reduced aluminum smelting and refining primarily to protect air quality. Yet companies also secured new plants overseas to enable them to keep growing.<\/p>\n<div class='block--pullout-stat block--pullout-stat--float cd-shortcode--factbox'>\n                <p class='block--pullout-stat__title'>$3billion<\/p>\n                <div class='block--pullout-stat__content'>\n                    <br \/>\nthe amount Jisco plans to invest in Jamaica's economy<br \/>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<p>When the Alpart refinery reopened in 2016 under JISCO\u2019s ownership, company officials announced plans to invest more than US$3 billion in the Jamaican economy, promising to build an industrial park, which would include a second refinery.<\/p>\n<p>The company announced that they planned to begin developing the park in January 2019. They have not yet broken ground on the project.<\/p>\n<p>Jamaican local media reports that JISCO chairman, Chuming Chen, has stood down, leaving the future of the Jamaican plant in limbo. Chen had taken a keen interest in the industrial park project. Government insiders have told <em>Di\u00e1logo Chino<\/em> that the incoming chairman of JISCO, who has not yet been announced, will visit Jamaica in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Government sources also indicated that the new chairman has instructed JISCO\u2019s management to fast-track a relocation plan for residents affected by the plant\u2019s pollution.<\/p>\n<p>Ten residents are expected to be relocated before the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Di\u00e1logo Chino<\/em> understands that at least one of the residents is cautiously positive about the prospect of relocation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamaica\u2019s environmental regulatory agency has issued 16 enforcement orders against Chinese state-owned mining giant Jiuquan Iron and Steel Company (JISCO) for non-compliance with environmental regulations.
