Clear waters and green mountains,alternatively green mountains are gold mountains or two mountain theory, [1] refers to a political slogan on environmental policy formulated by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) general secretary Xi Jinping. The full slogan is "clear waters and green mountains are as valuable as gold and silver mountains" (Chinese :綠水青山就是金山银山). [2] : 4 [lower-alpha 1]
Xi Jinping first mentioned the slogan in August 2005 while on tour in Zhejiang as its Party Committee Secretary. [3]
Following the 2012 ascension of Xi as the CCP general secretary (paramount leader),the slogan has been invoked in various contexts domestically and internationally by Chinese officials,complementing existing emphasis on the achievement of ecological civilization. [2] : 4–5 It was given greater emphasis in Chinese state media beginning in 2015,after Xi began to focus more on environmental issues. [4] The slogan was the subject of a short essay question in Beijing for the 2018 gaokao,generating discussion over the suitability of such an explicitly political topic on the test. [5] [ better source needed ]
The Chinese Communist Party-run Beijing Review maintains that the slogan "reflects a people-centered approach to people's wellbeing,an approach that emphasizes the importance of harmony between man and nature,and embodies the unwavering resolve of the Party and the government to preserve and protect the natural environment." [3]
"Clear waters and green mountains" alludes to what Xi observed as phases of economic development in relation to environmentalism. In the first phase,initial industrialization,little regard is given to the environment,which is sacrificed in pursuit of economic growth. As people become more aware of the importance of the environment,they call for its preservation and protection in second phase. Finally,society realizes that "clear waters and green mountains" and "gold and silver mountains" are not mutually exclusive,and in fact the former can bestow the latter. [1]
The slogan implies that economic development must accommodate economic protection. [6]

The government of the People's Republic of China is based on a system of people's congress within the parameters of a unitary communist state,in which the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) enacts its policies through people's congresses.

As China's political system has no separation of powers,there is only one branch of government which is represented by the legislature. The CCP through the NPC enacts unified leadership,which requires that all state organs,from the Supreme People's Court to the President of the People's Republic of China,are elected by,answerable to,and have no separate powers than those granted to them by the NPC. The CCP controls appointments in all state bodies through a two-thirds majority in the NPC. The remaining seats are held by nominally independent delegates and eight minor political parties,which are non-oppositional and support the CCP. All government bodies and state-owned enterprises have internal CCP committees that lead the decision-making in these institutions.
