On Xi Jinping’s Ecological Civilization Thought

Since the 18th CPC National Congress,the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core,forward-looking and top-level planning,the ecological civilization as the important content,has been included into the general layout of the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan,also as an important part of the strategic layout being included into the content of the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy,which has promoted the historic,turning and overall changes in the construction of ecological civilization with unprecedented efforts,and thus has formed Xi Jinping’s Ecological Civilization Thought.Xi Jinping’s Ecological Civilization Thought is an important component of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,and also is the fundamental follow-up and action guide for the construction of ecological civilization as well.Institutional superiority is the greatest superiority of a country.Either from the perspective of the mission of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the world-wide socialism,or from the fierce competition between the two systems —socialism v.s.capitalism,the importance,urgency and inevitability of exhibiting and strengthening the superiority of China’s system have been highlighted as never before.For a long time,the "superiority" displayed by the facts of the western ecological environment has often become an example of its institutional superiority,but actually,which is only a disproof.As a guide to the construction of ecological civilization in the new era,Xi Jinping’s Ecological Civilization Thought,has played and will play a greater role in highlighting and strengthening China’s institutional superiority.From the perspective of the superiority of the socialist system,Xi Jinping’s Ecological Civilization Thought can guide the whole Party and society to fully understand the superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics,and it is conducive to better adhere to and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era,which provides a new perspective for scientifically grasping the thoughts of "Capitalism is bound to perish and socialism is bound to win" and "Two Nevers".At the same time,it is conducive to further and better promote the transformation of the superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics into the effectiveness of national governance,to contribute more Chinese wisdom and Chinese programs to the construction of global ecological civilization and the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind,and provide an effective path to promote the "Two Settlements" as well.Its own superiority of Xi Jinping’s Ecological Civilization Thought is exhibited in the greatest confidence that it can highlight and enhance the superiority of China’s system.Xi Jinping’s Ecological Civilization Thought is a major theoretical achievement in the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with the reality of China’s ecological civilization construction and with the excellent traditional Chinese ecological culture,and is thus formed from practice on the basis of the theoretical thinking of predecessor.It originates from Marx and Engels’ thought of ecological civilization,rooted in the excellent traditional Chinese ecological culture,has inherited and developed the ecological thoughts of successive leaders of the Communist Party of China,which is attributed to the fact that Xi Jinping "has always attached great importance to the work of ecological environment".First of all,Xi Jinping’s Ecological Civilization Thought adheres to the profound historical concept of "ecological prosperity leads to the prosperity of civilization,and ecological decline leads to the decline of civilization",and adheres to the systematic thinking and life consciousness of "man and nature are the community of life" as well;it also establishes the concept of ecological civilization that respects,conforms to and protects nature,so as to promote harmonious coexistence between man and nature.Second,it continues to lead the construction of ecological civilization in the new era and promote green development by practicing the concept of green development,waving the "green baton" and promoting supply-side structural reform.Third,it insists on the supremacy of the people in ecological communion,co-construction,co-governance and sharing,fully embodying the people’s characteristics of socialist ecological civilization.Finally,it not only bases itself on the domestic market,establishes the goal of building a beautiful countryside and a beautiful China,but also cares for the world,promotes the construction of a beautiful world with human feelings and pragmatic responsibility,and contains the value purpose of socialist ecological civilization to promote global sharing,universal sharing and global sharing.Xi Jinping’s Ecological Civilization Thought must be tested in practice to prove whether or not it can,or to what extent it can highlight and enhance China’s institutional superiority.From the historical perspective,socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era.From the perspective of development stage,the construction of ecological civilization is being at the important juncture of "superposition of three phases".From the current situation,the construction of global ecological civilization is facing multiple challenges.All these constitute the practical background of Xi Jinping’s Ecological Civilization Thought.To conclude,it is necessary to speed up the establishment and improvement of ecological civilization systems including ecological culture,ecological economy,target responsibility,ecological civilization system,and ecological security.Especially in the context of multiple deficits in global environmental governance,China must participate in global environmental governance and play its due role,during which upholding the overall leadership of the Party is the greatest strength,and focusing on major issues is the political superiority,while,promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind demonstrates the moral advantage of socialist ecological civilization.The socialist ecological civilization has achieved a transcendence of capitalism.No matter from the perspective of the formation origin of the global ecological crisis or the reality of ecological imperialism,the "capitalist ecological civilization" is impossible to achieve.The epochal value of Xi Jinping’s Ecological Civilization Thought is reflected in the fact that it guides the construction of ecological civilization in the new era,provides an ecological path for promoting common prosperity,provides a reliable guarantee for promoting "Two reconciliations",and provides a powerful weapon for realizing the "Two bounds".Promoting common prosperity is the greatest superiority of socialism,promoting the "Two Settlements" is the inherent requirement of the superiority of the socialist system,and realizing the "Two bounds" is the goal of the superiority of the socialist system.Ecological civilization must belong to socialism,and socialism must contain ecological civilization,because the socialist system with Chinese characteristics has achieved a transcendence of the logic of capital,because the Communist Party of China has achieved a transcendence of Western political parties,and because Xi Jinping’s Ecological Civilization has achieved a transcendence of Western ecological thoughts.
