Decade ago, Erik Solheim braved Beijing’s smog, hesitant to take a morning run. Today, he’s back on the pavement—breathing easy.
On his latest jog, he noticed something big: nearly every car was a new energy vehicle—quiet, cost-effective, and pollution-free, churning out green-tech jobs along the way 🚗💚.
This green transformation isn’t luck—it’s baked into a philosophy President Xi Jinping calls the “two mountains”: "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets." It means valuing nature like gold.
As Xi reminds us, "Harmony between man and nature is a defining feature of Chinese modernization. China is a steadfast actor and major contributor in promoting global green development."
With its signature ‘green speed,’ this approach has cleared skies and turned heads globally. Every EV, every solar farm, every eco-job traces back to the idea that a healthy planet equals a healthy economy 🌍✨.
