Abstract
Recent years have seen China's environmental authorities working together with several economic regulators and issuing a number of environmental economic policies. Environmental considerations are now set to penetrate into multiple spheres of economic policy: production, circulation, distribution, consumption, and external trade. These environmental economic policies are a key theme for the current stage of ecological efforts and enjoy a high public profile. China's environmental problems are multi-dimensional. Pollution and ecological damage are at critical levels. The main idea of government's ?new environmental policy lies in the ?three shifts outlined by Premier Wen Jiabao: 1) a shift from economic development at the expense of environment to stressing both; 2) a shift from environmental protection lagging behind economic development to developing the two at the same pace; and 3) a shift from relying on administrative means to a comprehensive usage of legal, economic, technological, and necessary administrative measures to solve environmental problems. Keywords: China; development; ecological damage; economic development; environmental economic policy; environmental protection; government; pollution; Premier Wen Jiabao
