Summary, in English

This debate concerns the relevance and suitability of the ‘Chinese model’ of environmental governance for the rest of the world as other countries grapple with how to govern climate change. Tianbao Qin and Meng Zhang argue that heavily directed and enforced environmental regulation, as manifested in China, is an efficient and effective form of governance for bringing about the necessary structural and behavioural changes that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Other countries can learn from this model. Lei Liu and Pu Wang counter by arguing that China’s record of environmental progress is oversold and, in any case, the ‘Chinese model’ is hard to transfer to other countries. Governing climate depends on the bottom-up interaction of multiple stakeholders at multiple levels, which is quite different from China’s national practice of top-down governance.
