article (50th)

The idea of building a beautiful China is stated in the Report of the Communist Party of China (CPC) delivered at its 18th National Congress. It is the first time for China to officially announce this idea. The timely announcement is demanded by the future implementation of the outlook on scientific development and the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. It is inevitable for economic and social development in the new stage. Confronted by the growing scarcity of resources, environmental pollution, and ecological degradation, we must have the concept of respecting, following, and protecting nature. The ecological progress should be put on top of the agenda because it is vital for the nation's future and people's well-being. Striving for a beautiful China clearly defines the target for ecological progress.
