SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Four more Chinese regions have been accused of faking efforts to rectify environmental problems and paying only lip service to the country's war on pollution, according to reports published by the environment ministry on Monday.

The provinces of Henan and Yunnan, as well as the region of Guangxi, were accused of "superficial", "fake" or "perfunctory" rectifications, according to the latest reviews published by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE). Parts of Guangdong province near Hong Kong were also castigated for failing to take responsibility for violations.
