Summary:

Over the past four decades, China has achieved unprecedented, sustainedeconomic growth that the world has ever experienced; however, its increasinglysevere environmental problems, which arise with the rapid economic development,are being deliberated domestically and internationally (Zhao and Patten, 2016; Weber,2017; Yu and Rowe, 2017). As the world's second largest economy enters the "newera", China attempts to shift its focus from quantitative economic targets to moresustainable economic development, which requires a compatible institutional settingto facilitate a more balanced growth substantiated by social, environmental andeconomic sustainability. Being the most populous country with the largest energyconsumption in the world, China's development has such a profound global impactthat it would need to be more sustainable to align with a wider group of stakeholdersbeyond China.
