A research group led by Cao Bochun and Wang Hongju, deputy directors of the Environmental Resource Committee (ERC) of the NPC arrived in Chenzhou to conduct investigation and research on Chenzhou's circular economy development and the implementation of the Circular Economy Promotion Law of the People's Republic of China from September 21 to 22.

The delegation affirmed the remarkable achievements Chenzhou had made in developing circular economy, especially in mineral economy promotion and deep processing of nonferrous metals.
