Chapter 1123

The title of his article was: "Finding the Balance Point Between Environmental Protection and Economic Development."

In the text, he wrote about the relationship between environmental protection and human survival and economic development, justice and efficiency, and human rights and property rights. He believes this is a dialectical process; one cannot ignore the environment, nor can one overcorrect. However, complying with national environmental protection standards is a bottom line, a bottom line that must never be crossed.

Su Xinghui also gave some examples, talking about some violations by local governments in terms of environmental protection. He suggested closing the loophole of "allowing construction projects to make up for environmental impact assessment procedures after the fact," increasing penalties for building before approval, and greatly strengthening penalties for illegal sewage discharge. He suggested weighing the balance between economic development and environmental protection to reach an optimal equilibrium point.

Finally, he proposed a goal: that in the future, a one-vote veto system for environmental protection should be implemented.
