Global leaders and environmental experts gathered in Beijing this week to celebrate the growing influence of President Xi Jinping’s eco-civilization concept, dubbed 'Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains Are Invaluable Assets.' With its 20th anniversary approaching in 2025, the vision is gaining traction as a blueprint for sustainable development worldwide. 🌍
Representatives from UN agencies, diplomats, and academics from over a dozen countries—including the US, UK, and Sri Lanka—praised the concept for bridging economic growth and environmental protection. 'This isn’t just China’s solution—it’s a global roadmap,' one attendee noted, highlighting calls for cross-border collaboration on green tech and eco-friendly policies.
The idea was born in 2005 when Xi, then Zhejiang’s Party chief, visited Yucun Village. Locals had shut down polluting mines and factories, trading short-term profits for long-term sustainability. Today, Yucun thrives as an eco-tourism hotspot, proving that green transitions can fuel prosperity. 🏞️
As climate challenges escalate, Xi’s philosophy is resonating far beyond the Chinese mainland. From Uzbekistan to Belgium, attendees urged nations to 'think like Yucun'—prioritizing planet over profit. Will this eco-vision become the next big export? The world is watching. 👀
