At the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the compilation of Beautiful China 1949–2019: 70 People’s Views on Ecological Civilization—
a collection of theories and facts co-sponsored by the Think tank for Eco-civilization
Studies of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), the Research Institute of
Resources and Environment Policies of the Development Research Center of the
State Council, China Ecological Civilization Research and Promotion Association,
Chinese Academy of Environmental Planning, and China Environment Publishing

70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, a heavy responsibility assumed by think tanks on ecological civilization and those committed to

the past seven decades and guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, covering a variety of themes on the basic theories of ecological civilization
and the ecological cultural system, green development and the ecological industry,
deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system, and the construction of

comprehensive and systematic topics, this pastiche offers an extensive and in-depth
analysis of China’s development of ecological civilization over the past 70 years.
It teases out the twists and turns towards the modernization of China’s national
governance system and governance capabilities, and discusses the theories, implementation, experience, insights, challenges and prospects of the scientific thesis that
“lucid water and lush mountains are invaluable assets” in a new era of socialist
ecological civilization. Moreover, it highlights and demonstrates the all-round and
groundbreaking historical achievements and fundamental changes that have taken
place in China’s development of ecological civilization under the guidance of Xi
Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization since the 18th National Congress of the
