And major metropolises have been relocating the majority of heavy industry outside the city.
But obviously for some, it's far from enough. People want quick action.
It is widely believed that air pollution is a major problem in China due to the country's rapid pace of industrialization, reliance on coal power, explosive growth in car ownership and the sometimes disregard for environmental laws.
Experts say there is no quick solution.
Xie Deti is the director of Department of Resources and Environment at China's Southwest University.
"Changing our traditional economic growth model is the only way. The country should change its power consumption model that overly relies on burning coal to improve energy structure. The relocation and technological upgrade of high polluted sectors should be continued to cut emissions. And we should also make our transport greener by improving fuel efficiency, limiting the use of private cars and encouraging public transport."
Pollution has long been identified as one of the biggest challenges by China's top leaders, with the leadership strongly urging the country to "reverse the trend of ecological deterioration and build a beautiful China".
