Abstract
Due to the intensifying conflict between resources, the environment, and industrialization, China must pursue a new industrialization path guided by the goal of building an ecological civilization. The strategy of ecological civilization imposes higher demands on new industrialization, calling for an increase in resource and environmental output levels, an enhancement of resource and environmental carrying capacity, and the promotion of coordinated development between resources and the environment. China should draw lessons from and learn the resource and environmental management experiences and technologies of post-industrialized regions and countries. It should vigorously advance scientific and technological progress to improve economic efficiency, reduce the negative environmental impacts of industrialization, and vigorously develop a green economy, circular economy, and low-carbon economy.
