The documentary（纪录片） "Under the Dome" went viral online just before Chinese lawmakers opened their yearly meeting. The film examines the health effects of China's massive air pollution, or smog  problem. It also presents the difficulties environmental officials face in enforcing laws. 

But one day after the National People's Congress opened, the government ordered the film be removed from the Internet.

About 200 million people had already seen "Under the Dome," however. China's newly appointed environment minister had even praised the film. And, the general message of "Under the Dome" appears to fit well with efforts officials are making to deal with the problem. It is not clear why officials blocked the film.

A former reporter for China's state-run television, Chai Jing, produced the documentary. It argues that state-run businesses, especially energy companies, are part of China's pollution problem.

At the end of the National People's Congress meeting, a reporter asked Prime Minister Li Keqiang whether he thought the film was correct. Are big oil companies barriers to environmental law enforcement?

Mr. Li said under this year's Environmental Protection Law officials are committed （委托）to taking legal action against those who add to the pollution problem. He said anyone involved in acts of illegal production and emissions will be brought to justice. He said the government must make businesses that illegally send and dump pay a price too heavy to accept.

Others also commented on the film before it was banned, including former basketball star Yao Ming. Mr. Yao served as a representative at the lawmaking meetings. He said he had watched the film and was thankful for the information film producer Chai Jing made public. He said the film expressed the feelings in many people's hearts.

Previously, a respiratory expert and representative Mr. Zhong Nanshan said that China's smog is an even scarier problem than the serious illness SARS.
