Abstract

China has recently entered into a new period of development of laws dealing with the use and conservation of natural resources. The Chinese Constitution provides an essential framework for the conservation of natural resources, but protection of ecological values is largely lacking. All natural resources in China are either owned by the state or are collectively owned. China largely lacks a comprehensive legal regime to protect and conserve natural resources. Under Chinese law permission to utilize natural resources depends upon permission from state authorities. The decision of the WTO Appellate Body that interprets China’s WTO Accession Protocol to exclude the application of WTO Article XX general exceptions protecting the environment is wrong and unfair.
