Ecological Civilization—The Chinese Path

President Xi Jinping said, “The path we take determines our destiny,” which has proved a truth in history. From the perspective of human civilization development, the Chinese path—the 5000-year-long history of Chinese civilization—has taken three major steps that decide China’s future. The first step is in the agricultural age when the Chinese agricultural civilization, guided by core social values then, climbed to the world’s top in its accomplishments and made great contributions to mankind. The second step is in the industrial age when China, due to the inertia of agricultural civilization, failed to shift to a new track, and therefore was reduced to a dumping field of products from advanced industrialized countries and was plundered by them for resources, leading to a century of humiliation and misery. The third step is in the age of ecological civilization when China, under the firm leadership of the CPC, has pioneered on the path of ecological civilization for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. China will be great again!
