statements, and refusing to take responsibilities for any consequences caused. They
should advance ecological conservation in a scientific, orderly, and efficient manner.
Second, for enterprises. In the new era of ecological conservation, enterprises
are no longer just the main force in economic development, but should also assume
their due social responsibilities, especially the primary responsibility for resources
conservation, environmental protection and ecological restoration. In addition to
good economic credit such as paying due taxes, repaying loans and paying wages on
time, enterprises need to have a good ecological and environmental credit which will
directly affect corporate survival and development especially after a sound ecological
and environmental credit is established for enterprises. And in addition to a good
brand image, an enterprise also need a green corporate image, and strives to be a
new force and vanguard for resource conservation, environmental friendliness, and
ecological conservation.
Third, for citizens. In the new era of ecological conservation, citizens have greater
aspiration beyond food, clothing and fun, and a common goal they share is blue
sky, green land and clear water. They no longer consider ecological conservation a
business of the Party and the government, but increasingly a business of their own;
no longer passive, they are more active in ecological conservation. Their initiative
will conquer passivity. Citizens discipline themselves no longer out of fear of laws
and regulations or other external forces, but more and more out of awe for nature,
out of internal force. Their self-discipline will replace heteronomy. Citizens are no
longer just after money-making and spending to make others envy or even jealousy,
but are more committed to environmental protection and ecological restoration and
other good deeds, and they are being praised and even imitated for this. The new
model will certainly replace the old one.
2. Fully implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization
The Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization provides an important source of
thought for the future reform and construction of the system for developing an ecological civilization. First, when dealing with the relationship with nature, we should put
into practice the concept that “only when the ecology thrives will civilization thrive”
and that “Man and nature should co-exist in harmony.” We should more than ever
respect, protect and conform to nature, and examine the rationality of the system
reform plan from the holistic and long-term perspective. To this end, the reform plan
should be adapted to local conditions, follow the laws of nature and science, and must
not over-exaggerate the role of subjective initiative. Second, when dealing with the
relationship between ecological and environmental protection and economic development, we must put into practice the principle that “lucid waters and lush mountains
are invaluable assets,” and work harder to protect the ecology and environmental and
produce long-term effects. We would rather sacrifice short-term economic development to protect the ecology and environment, and strive to translate the good ecology
and environment into economic benefits. This requires the reform plan to focus on
the green transition of the economy and fostering new drivers of green development.
