Introduction

President Xi Jinping envisions a new model for human progress that calls for coordinated development on economic, political, cultural and ethical, social and ecological fronts.

It represents a break with the idea that economic growth and environmental protection are achieved at one another’s expense. Instead, it recognizes that protecting the environment is an important path to economic development.
