Building a beautiful China is an important goal of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. Chinese style modernization is a kind of modernization in which people and nature coexist in harmony. It emphasizes respect for nature, compliance with nature, and protection of nature, and pays attention to promoting the construction of material civilization and ecological civilization simultaneously. The overall situation of high-quality development of the relationship between building a beautiful China is related to the overall situation of achieving the second centennial goal on schedule, and will certainly run through the whole process of Chinese modernization. We must adhere to the principle that man and nature are a community of life, follow the path of civilized development featuring development in production, prosperity in life and sound ecology, and comprehensively promote the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature with the construction of a beautiful China.

Building a beautiful China is an important part of realizing the Chinese Dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese nation since modern times. Its essence is to realize the prosperity of the country, the revitalization of the nation, and the happiness of the people. The ecological environment is the foundation of human survival and development, and the prosperity of ecology is the prosperity of civilization. We must comprehensively strengthen the construction of a beautiful China, put the construction of ecological civilization in a prominent position, combine nature with civilization, make natural ecology more peaceful, harmonious and beautiful under the modern human social governance system, let people enjoy extremely rich material and spiritual civilization in the beautiful natural ecological environment, and build the ecological foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Building a beautiful China is an inevitable requirement to meet the growing needs of the people for a better life. The environment is the people's livelihood, and a good ecological environment is the most inclusive well-being of people's livelihood. With the economic and social development of our country and the improvement of people's living standards, the broad masses of people are eager for a good production and living environment. The growing needs of the people for a beautiful ecological environment have become an important part of the main social contradictions in our country. We must comply with the people's desire for a better life, continue to improve the quality of the ecological environment, provide more high-quality ecological products, and let the people share the beauty of nature, life and life in green waters and mountains.

Building a beautiful China is China's contribution to jointly building a clean and beautiful world. Building a beautiful home is the common dream of mankind. In the face of global ecological environmental challenges such as climate change and loss of biodiversity, mankind is a community with a shared future in which all prosper and all suffer. We must uphold the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, assume the responsibility of a major country, demonstrate the responsibility of a major country, lead the process of global environmental governance with the construction of a beautiful China, and contribute Chinese wisdom and strength to building a clean and beautiful world and achieving more robust, green and healthy global development.
