Description Eco-capitalism’s attempts to achieve green development through both market leverage and state regulation have been unable to break out of the evil infinity of the self-expansion of capital, and have been alienated into “greenwashing” and “new strategy of capital accumulation” in practice. Chinese-style modernisation is the modernisation of harmonious coexistence of man and nature, integrating the dual advantages of market economy and socialist system. The green development concept of “Clear waters and green mountains are as good as mountains of gold and silver” also has a realistic foundation to take root. In the new decade, the ecological environment protection has undergone historic, turning and overall changes, which is clear evidence. Drawing on and transcending ecocapitalism, the green development of contemporary China is the development of the identity of man and man and the identity of man and nature, and the realisation of all-round social progress and allround and free development of the individual in achieving a win-win situation of economic development and environmental protection, i.e., the identity of “fully developed naturalism” and “fully developed humanism” in the sense of Marx.
