Sustainable development has been positioned as an economic development strategy many years ago. However, in earlier times, it bore a heavy tint of national strategy, followed by a kind of soft sustainable development with a technological orientation. The recent decade has seen China on track for strong sustainable development. At the present, China is around the turning point of the ＂Environmental Kuznets Curve,＂ where both domestic and international multiple pressures are forcing the whole country to make new choices for its dimension of sustainable development strategy. Although sustainable development has been recognized by the legal field of environmental resources, it is still not yet fully integrated into other areas of law. The period from weak to strong sustainable transition is accompanied by another transition, more significant in China, from industrial civilization to ecological civilization. Compared to weak sustainable development, the complex and contradictory character of strength has brought more challenges. Sustainable development of dualism and compromise, which corresponds with the actual needs in China, is an important theoretical basis and practical standards for implementing the scientific view of development. Finally, it concludes by noting that ecological civilization is attempting to solve the problems from a more broad perspective, and to pay more attention to public participation, at the same time to cover the shortage of environmental legislation.展开更多

It is not only an integral part of the rule of law in China, but also the legal basis for and the buttress of the health system reform. The ultimate purpose of this reform is to protect citizens' right to health and to raise the health level of the people. Therefore, the rule of law in the health sector should take the right to health as its center of gravity and ultimate purpose. The right to health will further enable the field of health law as a separate and distinct legal branch in the Chinese legal system. In the contemporary society of diversified interests, the right to health is capable of providing a common ground for social consensus, the core concept of health law system and the solid foundation for building the rule of law in the health sector.展开更多

All kinds of presently available grey forecast models can be well used to deal with the short-term load fore-cast. However, they make big errors for medium or long-term load forecasts, and the load that does not satisfythe approximate exponential increasing law in particular. A novel grey forecast model that is capable of distin-guishing the increasing law of load is adopted to forecast electric power consumption (EPC) of Shanghai. Theresults show that this model can be used to greatly improve the forecast precision of EPC for a secondary industryor the whole society.展开更多

On the basis of this demand for impartial trials and citizens’ right to know the truth,the meaning of open justice has become equal with the term public trial. The open dissemination of governmental information started at the end of the 20th Century. This worldwide phenomenon has expanded the scope of open justice and made it exceed the scope of the traditional public trial. China’s system of open justice has also been promoted and improved through this worldwide development.展开更多
