Building a beautiful China

Building a beautiful China

A beautiful environment is beneficial to the people and the future of the nation. The report to the 18th National Congress of the CPC called for hard work to build a beautiful country, and achieve lasting and sustainable development of the Chinese nation. The report to the 19th CPC National Congress proposed speeding up reform of the system for developing an ecological civilization, and building a beautiful China.

Building a beautiful China is an important part of the Chinese Dream. It calls for respecting, protecting and being in harmony with nature, based on the understanding that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets." China should implement its key national policy on resource conservation, environmental protection, and promotion of green, circular and low-carbon development. The initiative underscores the need to leave more space for nature to renew itself, to keep more land for cultivation, and to bequeath a better working and living environment to future generations so that they can be blessed with blue sky, green fields, and clean water.

The Chinese Dream will not be realized at the expense of the environment. Economic development should be accompanied by strong measures to protect the environment. Building a beautiful China will be of benefit to the country's long-term development, to promoting sustainable global development, and to fulfilling the universal dream of protecting our beautiful earth.

According to China's two-stage development plan, the basic elements of a beautiful China will be in place by 2035.

建設美麗中國

建設生態文明，關系人民福祉，關乎民族未來。黨的十八大報告提出，努力建設美麗中國，實現中華民族永續發展。黨的十九大報告進一步提出，加快生態文明體制改革，建設美麗中國。建設美麗中國是中國夢的重要內容，就是要按照尊重自然、順應自然、保護自然的理念，堅持“既要金山銀山，又要綠水青山”“綠水青山就是金山銀山”的理念，貫徹節約資源和保護環境的基本國策，更加自覺地推動綠色發展、循環發展、低碳發展。建設美麗中國，就是要給自然留下更多修復空間，給農業留下更多良田，為子孫后代留下天藍、地綠、水清的生產生活環境。中國夢的實現不以犧牲環境為代價，在發展經濟的同時，要保護好生態環境。建設“美麗中國”，有利于中國的長遠發展，也將助推世界可持續發展，更有助于實現人類共同的夢想：保護美麗的地球。“美麗中國”的目標將在2035年基本實現。
