China, the largest developing country in the world, is going all out to build itself into a moderately prosperous society during this critical stage of the transformation of economic development mode. Efforts are being made to tackle the environmental problems which result from the countrys current economic mode, structure and consumption patterns. We need to try to solve these problems by changing the economic mode, adjusting the economic structure, and improving our consumption patterns. Taking protection of the environment as the basis for state policies, China is working to optimize its economic development, striving for a win-win success in terms of developing the economy and protecting the environment.
