"Setting economic development against environmental protection is not appropriate or correct," Wu told a press conference on the sidelines of the annual session of the national political advisory body.
He said the more challenges economic growth faces, the more the government needs to strengthen environmental protection to ensure that development is done in an environmentally friendly way.
"Some areas are indeed facing an economic downturn, and some enterprises' profits are dropping, but the determination for environmental protection should not be weakened," he said.
"We shall not trade environment for GDP growth in the short term, which is not sustainable," Wu added.
