The design should place more emphasis on differentiation, and increase the supply
of differentiated assessment proposals. (4) The design should be more systematic and
less departmental to prevent fragmentation. (5) The design should be more democratic to fully absorb the exploration experience at the local and even the grassroots
level. Second, problems with the reform execution. The reform execution is generally
smooth and effective, and has played a fundamental and supporting role in ecological
conservation, but many problems have been exposed in investigations and analysis.
For example, there exists the phenomenon of implementing documents with documents. In the face of growing special reform plans and supervision requirements,
coupled with the weak local work foundation and the lack of working mechanisms
and reform motivation, national plans only beget more local plans that exist only
on paper. There is also the problem of “zero tolerance for failure.” In most pilot
projects, “failure” is unacceptable and trial-and-error and fault-tolerant mechanisms
are absent; as a result, the lessons and experience that should have been drawn from
these pilot projects are often neglected. The third is the problem of a weak foundation, especially in underdeveloped areas where the shortage of funds, technology,
equipment, and talents is particularly prominent.
These are generally the problems encountered in reform and development. But
left unattended, they will undoubtedly hinder the continuous, smooth and effective
progress in the reform of the system for developing an ecological civilization. It is
necessary to fully adapt to the new situation of ecological conservation where the
three phases co-exist, follow Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization as the
fundamental guideline, and continue to deepen and effectively promote the reform
of the system for developing an ecological civilization.
3 Continuing to Deepen and Promote the Reform
of the System for Developing an Ecological Civilization
in an Efficient Manner
1. Carrying out legislation on ecological conservation when necessary
Legislation on ecological conservation is imperative. First, it is an inevitable requirement that fully reflects the will of the Party and the purpose of the national constitution. The newly-revised Constitution of the Communist Party of China lists ecological conservation as an important part of the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan and the
Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy, and clearly proposes to coordinate economic,
political, cultural, social, and ecological progress. The newly-revised Constitution
of the People’s Republic of China clearly calls to “promote the coordinated development in material, political, cultural and ethical, social, and ecological dimensions, and
develop China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful.” Second, it is an inevitable
requirement for promoting ecological progress by law. Compared with the actual
