    Abstract

    China is at the crossroad of development, whether it should choose a path to Green Development or to bear the consequences of environment suffering irreversible damage, continued regional imbalances, , as well as the consequences of the deterioration of the socio-economic situation of a large number of residents. Implementation of successive Five-Year Plans and considerable fiscal expenditures have resulted in substantial but incremental improvements to some social, health and environmental indicators. It is obvious to all that Chinas leadership is strong in response to the biggest challenges of sustainable development of the world, but the overall trend of continuing deterioration of the environment has not been effectively curbed.
