| Chinese path to modernisation and western modernisation contain very different ecological concepts, which is related to the different problems of the times to which they are responding. Based on the problems of the times, western modernisation has formed the ecological concept of western capitalism,which is capital-centred, anthropocentric, and puts man and nature in a dichotomy and contradiction.Chinese path to modernisation puts ecology and ecological civilisation in a key position, adheres to the value concept of man and nature as a community of life, pursues the value of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and devotes itself to realising the common interests of all mankind. The unique ecological concept embedded in Chinese path to modernisation is a major innovation in the theory and practice of modernisation in the world, a reflection and transcendence of western anthropocentrism and ecocentrism, and has important theoretical value and practical significance in constructing a discourse system of ecological civilisation with Chinese characteristics, and in leading the ecological civilisation of mankind to a better development. |
