INTRODUCTION

The information project ´´Green China`` is a creation of the Portuguese company BIOSANI. A Sino-Portuguese couple owns this company. The world greatly depends on the future of China. The country’s present choices will be decisive not just for itself but for the whole planet. In this context, ´´Green China`` emerges as a biennial book - Green China 2007-2008 - associated with this permanently updated website, with the purpose of being able to contribute to a mutual understanding between the Chinese and the Westerners, namely the Europeans, regarding two decisive subjects: the role of the countryside in this new China, and how the country will be able to influence the world in a positive way, both seen under a constructive ecological perspective.

The main attention will be on rural development, considering the huge importance of the countryside: around 58 % of the Chinese citizens live there. This dramatic influence of rural life instead of being a barrier for the country’s development is a great opportunity for its sustainable future, if rural development is to be well planned and implemented, with a widely informed ecological vision.

Green China website presents an updated list of articles, links and books, organized in different sections, regarding the above mentioned constructive ecological perspective.

Simultaneously, website visitors are introduced to several China environmental matters traditionally of interest to non-Chinese environmentalists.
