Abstract

China has experienced a fast-growing economic growth rate over the past decades. Its economic development is mainly attributed to the reform and opening-up of the Chinese government. However, one of the pressing problems our nation faces today is balancing the relationship between economic development and environmental protection. This paper theoretically studies how to equilibrate circumstances and economic advances and aims to find the optimal pathway for solving this imbalance qualitatively. To this end, we propose multiple potential solutions to fixing environmental issues. This paper provides insightful comments on the above mentioned policies, which greatly relate to government, enterprises, and residents.
