Making 'Beautiful China' a Reality

  To build a "Beautiful China," the country is improving its biodiversity conservation policies and creating a new framework for sustainable development. Many foreign experts who have lived in China for a long period are witnesses to the country's significant progress in ecological conservation over the past decade, confirming the success of China's approach in harmonizing ecology and economy.

  Michael Crook, who has lived in Beijing for more than 50 years and is one of the founders of the Western Academy of Beijing, is very impressed by China's environmental protection and responsible ecological policies, especially in the areas of biodiversity, clean energy and pollution management. As China expands its infrastructure projects and builds cement roads to connect most rural villages with the outside world, environmental protection remains a top priority, said Crook, citing his own Xizang travel experience in 2023, where the environment is not disturbed at all by the construction of roads and railways.

  The use of clean energy, such as electricity and solar power, has helped drive China's transition to a low-carbon economy and plays a key role in the global fight against climate change, said Swedish scientist Henry H. Radamson, a full-time researcher at the Institute of Microelectronics, CAS. "Chinese electric cars are running almost everywhere in the world," he said. "While others are still talking, China has gone ahead and done it." Crook also spoke highly of China's clean energy boom, which serves as an example to the entire world.

  Francesco Faiola, an Italian professor at CAS, has seen firsthand China's efforts to prevent pollution at its source. As his research focuses on the effects of pollutants on human health, Faiola pays special attention to China's environmental protection and pollution management. "I strongly believe that China will achieve its dual carbon target, even though they're quite ambitious, because China has invested a lot of money and effort in green development," he said.

  "China has not only done a great job for itself, but it's leading the way and helping the world become a better place," said Crook, hoping that China's experience will be shared globally, in the same way as its electric cars are being exported.
