3. Green development is an active choice of the CPC to meet people’s aspirations for a better life in the process of deepening its understanding of the
laws concerning the governance
The process to improve people’s livelihoods could be divided into three stages—
problem-solving, improvement and development. It not only requires economic
growth, but more importantly, it means satisfying people’s growing needs for a
stronger sense of happiness with the increasing households’ income. Blue skies,
lucid water and lush mountains play an important role for people’s sense of happiness. The key to governance lies in the peace of the people, to which end we must
first deliver benefits for the people. The most inclusive benefit for the livelihood of
the people lies in the green development, for which the key is the organic integration
of green development and people’s livelihood and welfare. It’s an objective choice
for the CPC to firmly establish the philosophy of green governance in response to
the new situations, problems and contradictions facing its governance in the new era.
The benign combination of economic development, eco-environment and people’s
needs in life is an important criterion for the good governance of a country.

manifestation that China has taken the path of green development, demonstrating the
integration of socioeconomic development and the well-rounded development of the
people.

assets” provides guidance for green development in terms of the outlook
on development
The outlook on development embodies the needs of socioeconomic development in a
certain period at the ideological level, representing the overall and systematic view of
a country on its definition and approach to development during the period. Promoting
green development is a profound change in the development outlook. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s statement that “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable
assets” clarified the unity of economic development and environmental protection.
