China's environment is close to breaking point and the situation is endangering people's lives, one of the nation's top anti-pollution officials said in comments published Wednesday.

"Pursuit of short-term goals is leading to ever increasing pollution despite various measures," Pan told the China Daily in an interview.
"Traditional ways of development have caused the near breakdown of China's resources and environment, and people's lives are in great danger."
