Two decades after President Xi Jinping first proposed the 'Two Mountains' concept—declaring clear waters and lush mountains as invaluable assets—a new global poll reveals overwhelming international approval for China’s eco-friendly policies. 🌍💚 Surveying over 24,500 people across 48 countries, the study highlights how younger generations are rallying behind sustainable growth models that balance economic progress with environmental protection.
Breaking the 'Pollute First, Clean Later' Cycle
A staggering 81.6% of respondents agree China’s approach has shattered outdated development patterns. Since 2012, the country has maintained 6% annual GDP growth while keeping energy consumption increases at just 3%—proving green growth isn’t just possible, but profitable. 📈🌳
Clean Energy Wins Hearts (and Skies)
From massive solar farms to urban EV charging networks, 70.5% applaud China’s clean energy infrastructure push. 'It’s like watching real-life Wakanda tech meet climate action,' one analyst quipped, referencing the survey’s finding that 75.1% praise China’s role in supplying global green tech.
Global South Leads the Applause
Developing nations show 7-11% higher approval rates than average, with 57.1% calling China a 'driver' of climate solutions. Even in G7 nations like the U.S. and UK, recognition of China’s environmental leadership is growing—especially among under-44s who prioritize planetary health over political divides.
Conducted by CGTN and academic partners, this survey paints a picture of a generation demanding bold eco-innovation. As one young respondent put it: 'When pandas and solar panels team up, everyone wins.' 🐼☀️
