The thought takes the people as the subjects of practice. Ecological civilization is a
cause jointly undertaken by the whole people. The Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological
Civilization takes the people as the subjects of practice, thinks and apprehends issues
from the people’s stance, and reflects the interests and will of the most majority of
people. Taking people’s aspiration for a beautiful life as the starting point and the
goal, it gathers their collective wisdom and taps and fully absorbs the people’s new
creations and new experience.
The thought insists on plain and honest expressions. Lenin once wrote a simple
equation that “Maximal Marxism = Maximal popularity and simplicity.” Comrade
Xi Jinping is good at extracting important conclusions from specific facts and experience, and his important statements on ecological progress are all colloquial and
vivid. “Protecting and improving the eco-environment is protecting and developing
productivity,” “clean waters and green mountains are invaluable assets,” “a sound
eco-environment is the most equitable public product and the most inclusive wellbeing for the people,” “we must protect the eco-environment as preciously as we
protect our eyes and treat it as dearly as we treat our lives,” and “a good environment
is part of the public’s wellbeing, green mountains and blue skies bring delight and
happiness to the people”…these viewpoints, important as they are, are all conveyed
in simple, direct and colloquial languages so that they are easily understood and
applied by the people.
3 Deeply Grasping and Comprehensively Implementing
the Practical Requirements of Xi Jinping Thought
on Ecological Civilization
To study and practice the Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, it is necessary to deeply understand its practical character and requirements and combine what
we learn with what we think and do. We must conscientiously arm our minds with
this thought and use it to guide our practice and work, and combine the thought with
actual conditions and apply it for tangible effects when promoting innovations in
ecological work.
Developing eco-civilization is a long-term, complicated, arduous and systemic
campaign. At the National Conference on Eco-environmental Protection, General
Secretary Xi Jinping called for accelerating the establishment of an eco-civilization
system. This includes the ecological culture system with ecological values as the
norm, ecological economy system featuring industry-ecology integration, target and
responsibility system centered on improving the eco-environmental quality, ecological institution guaranteed by the modernization of governance system and capability, and ecological security system focused on sound ecosystem circulation and
effective prevention and control of environmental risks. He, by combining theories
with practices, made overall arrangements and specific requirements on building
eco-civilization.
