Abstract
Green development, one of the five development philosophies of “innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing” raised by Chinese president Xi Jinping, has been officially issued as a political resolution by the Chinese central government. This is the principle that China follows in its development, and it is also the hope of China’s development. The ideology of green development has become the popular creed in China, and the goal of ecological civilization is also increasingly close to China’s social reality. Green development has been defined and positioned as the green development concept and philosophy in China, but it is not only just a concept or philosophy of development but has been fully integrated into economic and social development. Across China, from the local to the national level, the whole country has been working hard in the experimentation of the green production and green living, exploring the sustainable development. In many places, Chinese have paved out their paths of eco-friendly and sustainable development in line with local characteristics. The eco-friendly and sustainable development has become the path of high-quality growth for China.
