Environmental System with Chinese Characteristics

According to the State Environment Protection Administration website, SEPA has held a meeting on the creation of industrial environmental protection economic policy and has expressed its willingness to cooperate with industrial associations on the policy making. A representative from SEPA said SEPA would strengthen its cooperation with the industrial associations to jointly provide more advisable and practical suggestions to China's State Council and the concerned economic departments so as to promote the establishment of an environmental and economic policy system with Chinese characteristics.
To its credit, China has been consistently open to ideas and assistance in the environmental department. Why they have to come up with an environmental and economic policy system with "Chinese characteristics" is a mystery. How about one that works instead?
