BEIJING -- Beijing has closed 1,006 manufacturing and polluting enterprises over the past five years, the municipal government revealed Friday.
In addition, 228 markets were also closed over the period, Beijing Mayor Wang Anshun said in a government work report presented during the city's annual parliamentary session, which opened Friday.
More than 13,000 applications for new businesses have also been rejected because they were on the list of prohibited or restricted operations, Wang said.
Beijing had closed or relocated nearly 400 polluting factories in 2014 and another 300 in 2015, previous figures show.
