Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is Roundtable.
From the heart of Beijing to the edges of the global stage, you're at Roundtable.
I'm Niu Honglin.
For decades, industrialization often came with a painful trade-off.
Economic growth on one side, environmental damage on the other.
But increasingly, countries around the world are searching for a third path,
one where development and ecological protection reinforce each other instead of colliding.
In China,
that surge has evolved into a broader vision known as ecological civilization,
an idea now shaping everything from river restoration to wildlife conservation and rural revitalization.
In this episode, Roundtable invites you to dive deep into this concept
and find out how it relates to our everyday life.
For today's show, I'm joined by Yu Shun and Yu Shan.
Now pull up a chair and join the conversation.
Across China, signs of environmental recovery are becoming more visible.
National assessments show improving conditions in major ecological regions
like the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area and the Yellow River basin.
Endangered species populations are rebounding, anti-desertification efforts are expanding,
and former industrial zones are being reimagined as green public spaces.
