As COP30 unfolds this month, the world is tuning in to the Chinese mainland's bold green transformation. In the latest episode of BizTalk, CGTN's Michael Wang travels to Zhejiang Province's Anji County – a shining example of how eco-friendly initiatives can power economic growth.
Joined by Patrick Nijs, former Belgian ambassador to the Chinese mainland, and Bao Shujun, director of the International Cooperation Center at the National Development and Reform Commission, the team explores key pillars of sustainable modernization:
- Industrial Upgrades – Witness factories swapping coal with clean tech and embracing circular economy models to shrink their carbon footprints.
- Clean-Energy Expansion – From solar farms to wind power, renewables are surging across the region, lighting up homes and fueling green industries.
- Nature-Based Solutions – Bamboo forests, wetland restoration and eco-tourism in Anji are proving that harmony between people and nature can drive long-term prosperity.
Throughout the journey, experts highlight how these green strategies are not just environmental wins but also catalysts for new jobs, digital innovation and investment opportunities. By weaving sustainability into its modernization agenda, the Chinese mainland aims to set a blueprint for balancing economic vitality with ecological responsibility.
For young professionals, entrepreneurs and travelers, Anji County offers more than a case study – it’s a living lab where ideas like smart agriculture and green finance come to life. As COP30 spotlights global climate action, the Chinese mainland’s path reminds us that the future of growth can, and must, be green. 🌿🚀
