Improving all-people-owned natural resource supervision system is the core content of constructing entrusting mechanism of all-people-owned natural resources ownership, and a key regime guarantee to advance eco-civilization construction and to realize Chinese-featured modernization. This paper, based on a research framework of “reality-system evolution-issues summary-theoretical logistics-approaches”, reviews the evolution of China's natural resources supervision system from its reality, and summarizes the structural conflicts of current supervision system, and analyzes the theoretical logistics and optimization approaches. China's current administrative supervision system has structural conflicts between internal and external supervision, congress supervision and judicial supervision, weak social supervision mechanism, all unfavorable for preserving or increasing the values of natural resources, and for maintaining an ecological security border. Improving supervision system needs to be aiming at internal requests of entrusting mechanism and based on clarifying responsibilities ownerships to coordinate central and local financing powers, boundary of government and market, balancing supervision costs and efficiency, and resolve the puzzle of supervision through responsibilities and stimulation. Improving natural resources supervision system needs to construct a five-in-one of “administrative supervision-audit supervision-congress supervision-jurisdictional supervision-public supervision”. Internal supervision needs to be collaborative with administrative supervision by means of construction supervision network across departments and clarifying the responsibilities of natural resources authorities. Audit supervision needs multiple dimensional audit index system and a smart audit system to realize a deep coupling between natural resources B&L and audit supervision. External supervision shall enforce congress's legal efforts by determining its supervision process and responsibilities through specific legislation. Judicial supervision needs to increase its authority by improving a linking mechanism between public interests' lawsuit system of natural resources and law enforcement. Public supervision shall be boosted by setting up information platform and independent supervision agents turning it from “campaigning style” to “legalized style”. Improving natural resources supervision system can help the entrusting dilemma in natural resource assets management and provide supports for reaching ecological civilization objectives and driving a quality development.

Integration of China regional digital industries and manufacturing is a critical pivot for accelerating China's regional industrial upgrading, forming new developing pattern and realizing quality economy. This paper, viewing from perspective of new developing pattern, uses China's regional input output table in 2017 to construct an index of direct integration, entire integration and integration interaction from supply side which is used to measure their integrating effects of digital industries and manufacturing in China's provinces. From demand side, this paper establishes the direct & indirect induction of China's provincial digital industries to explore their induced motivation. Technical density of digital industries is positively related to manufacturing, the higher technologies of the manufacturing, the stronger demand it for digital products viewing from technical manufacturing. By provinces, their direct integration shows a gap with entire integration, higher integration in eastern coastal provinces, lower in central and western province, as a geographic pattern of “east-high-west-low”, driving of digital industries to manufacturing varies with provinces. From induced motivation, investment and exports work more on communication equipment, computers and other electronic devices, and consumption and investment more on “information transmission, software and information technical services”. This paper presents suggestions on boosting a deep integration of digital industries, diminishing “digital economic gap”, accelerating digital infrastructural construction, and advancing regional data elements flow, which drives China's provincial integration of digital economy with manufacturing to power development of new quality productivity.

This paper, based on digital economy and integrated development theory and provincial data, uses relative pricing method and multiple weighted evaluation to estimate 2007 to 2022 digital economic index and integrated development index, and applies spatial Dubin, threshold effect and mechanism effect models to verify the impacts and mechanism of digital economy on regional integrated development. Mechanism mode displays digital economy can promote regional integrated development through “innovation elements flowing”. Spatial accounting model shows digital economy plays a larger promoting role on regional integrated development in eastern and central areas than the siphon effect of central cities, but central cities in northeastern and western play siphon effect on their surrounding cities. Threshold effect model indicates that digital economy plays a different role on regional integrated development from synergy between “innovative materials flowing” and “innovative talents flowing” when digital economy serves as threshold variable. Digital economy has dual threshold effects; its synergy with innovative capital flowing plays a declining role on regional integrated development as digital economy is advancing under innovative capital flowing. Digital economy has a single threshold effect; its synergy with innovative talent flowing will limit regional integrated development if digital economy is at low intensity under innovative talent flowing, but it will be a promotion if digital economy is at high intensity.

Zhongyuan City Cluster is located in the heartland of China's inland with industrial conglomeration advantages, which is one of key new national urbanization and is facing a key task how to realize “industries-drive-city & city-drive-industries”. This paper, taking Zhongyuan City Cluster of 29 prefectures as a case, establishes a coupling coordination evaluation system between industrial conglomeration and new urbanization of Zhongyuan City Cluster, and uses their 2001 to 2022 panel data and entropy method to evaluate their comprehensive development of industrial conglomeration and new urbanization. Coupling coordination model is applied to quantify their temporal-spatial evolution of coupling coordination, and obstacle model is employed to study the constraints impacting industry-city coupling coordination. During the study period, Zhongyuan City Cluster is developing well in its industrial conglomeration and new urbanization, but varying in provinces. In a time scale, their coupling coordination shows a swift from “lightly disordered” to “initial ordered”. Zhengzhou and Luoyang are leading in coupling coordination. Geographically, coupling coordination largely varies, showing a distribution pattern of “west-high-east-low & north-high-south-low”. Obstacles against their coupling coordination vary in a time scale include industrial density and structures which have been always a constraint, and spatial urbanization has been same constraint except the year of 2001. This paper presents suggestions on increasing comprehensive strength, intensifying regional competitiveness, boosting industrial upgrades led by central cities and optimizing urban layout, which can provide theoretical reference for an effective resources use and sustainable economy of Zhongyuan City Cluster.

It is of significance for realizing the target of China's “Dual Carbon” to reveal the carbon emission factors and to precisely forecast carbon emission peak value and time. This paper selects 2010 to 2022 NPP-VIIRS night lighting data in Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao Bay area (GHMB) to estimate their carbon emission of 11 cities, and uses Moran index to measure their temporal-spatial heterogeneities, and constructs a expanded STIRPAT model to study their carbon emission factors, and forecasts the 2022 to 2050 carbon emissions under 3 scenarios. GHMB generally shows a fluctuated rising trend in its carbon emission, but a declining in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, a fast growing trend in Huizhou and Jiangmen cities, suggesting different industrial developing modes and carbon emission controls. Carbon emission shows an obvious spatial concentrating, high in Guangzhou, low in Macao, from not outstanding to high in Huizhou. Population, urbanization and research & development investment are positive factors carbon emission, while GDP per capita, industrial structure and openness are negative ones. Carbon emission in developing and developed areas varies with GDP per capita and industrial structures. Carbon emission can not be effectively controlled under benchmark or fast growing scenarios, but effectively under carbon peaking scenario. This paper presents suggestions on switching to low-carbon industrial transformation in Huizhou and Jiangmen, on establishing carbon emission cooperation, on boosting research & development investments in clean energy and green technologies, making adaptive low carbon strategy and differentiated policies in coordinating population, economy and industrial structures so as to keep economic growth same pace with carbon emission reduction.

This paper, based on 2015—2022 manufacturing data of 11 provinces in western China, uses Moran index and social network method to establish a manufacturing quality development correlated network combined with corrected gravity model, which is applied to analyze spatial network structures and evolution of western China's manufacturing. Moran index indicates outstandingly positive with quality development of western China's manufacturing, and stably. Sichuan and Chongqing shed strong radiation around their surrounding areas, Xinjiang trends to be independent, and Ningxia had long been at the marginal network before 2022. Corrected gravity model shows a rising density and overall efficiency of quality development spatial correlated network in western China. Increasing degree centrality, highly frequent inter-provincial communications, rising mediation centrality, and a balanced network structure suggest the quality development in western China's manufacturing be of vast spatial differentiation and imbalance with a shrinking gap. The overall strength of southwestern is stronger than northwestern due to its better economy and infrastructures which attract lots of productive elements driving the manufacturing. Sichuan and Chongqing as the engines for regional development play a strong leading role to their surrounding areas, and Shaanxi is also improving its influence, Xinjiang and Ningxia, underdeveloped, are gradually improving in regional cooperation and industrial transfer. Shanxi pushes its industrial upgrade through innovation, Ningxia accelerates new/old engines conversion via industrial upgrade, and Xinjiang advances in manufacturing, all grow with locally featured industries. Such strategies and practices provide solid supports for quality development of western China's manufacturing.

To stress the importance of continuity of ports and cities' operation on their sustainability, this paper establishes a comprehensive compound system of port city, and uses SBM-DEA model which takes green GDP as desired output, environmental protection costs as green inputs, carbon dioxide emission as non-desired output to systematically evaluate productivity of port-city compound system of port cities in Liaoning province, and discusses its sustainability. Phased productivities of the overall Liaoning port city show that urban inputs/outputs conversion rate is largely higher than port. Productivities of port cities show a waving trend in a time range, suggesting a complexity and dynamic of port-city operation. SBM-DEA model suggests an insufficient “port-city” internal coordination. Dalian is a city of sustainability, Yingkou and Jinzhou of port sustainability, Panjin and Huludao of average sustainability, and Dandong of poor sustainability. This paper presents suggestions for each port city with the purpose of promoting a balanced, green and sustainable path in Liaoning's port cities.

As climate changes abruptly, climatic risks increasingly affect Chinese enterprises' investment efficiency. This paper uses Chinese A-listed companies' 2007 to 2022 data to establish an enterprise climatic risks index, and applies bi-directional fixed effect model to systematically study the impacts and mechanism of climatic risks on enterprises' investment efficiency. Climatic risks largely decrease enterprises' investment efficiency, still valid after stability tests and endogeneity tests, through accelerating agenting conflicts, operational risks, financing constraints and decreasing productivity which lead to over investment or insufficient investment indicated by mechanism analysis. Transformation risks negatively impact investment efficiency largely, but severe risks and slow risks impact a little. Economic aftermath shows that decreasing investment efficiency resulted by climatic risks further accumulate the risks of stock prices collapse. Digital transformation, green upgrades, media attention, and constraining executives may help mitigate the negative impacts of climatic risks on investment efficiency. This paper presents suggestions on incorporating climatic risks management into strategies to increase capabilities against risks, on optimizing internal structures to mitigate agenting conflicts and financing constraints, on boosting green and digital transformation to raise enterprises' climatic resilience so as to reach a sustainability.

Popular electric vehicles are becoming a meaningful way for low carbon transportation. China's electric production of fossil fuels is mostly from coal, and carbon emission per kilometer of electric vehicles amounts to 54% to 73% of the traditional gasoline vehicles. As distributed photovoltaic electricity develops, photovoltaic storage charging stations can reduce carbon mission for charging vehicles. However, their roles in reducing carbon emission vary across the country, which lacks a systematic evaluation and comparison. This paper uses GIS and capacities of photovoltaic storage charging stations to study their carbon emission reduction and economic benefits in consideration of carbon emission social costs. Photovoltaic storage charging stations can reduce carbon emission in charging vehicles with no added economic costs in most provinces, down by 22.9% compared with traditional charging from grid, up to 7460 kt of carbon dioxide given at the current electric vehicles amounts, and down by 6.6% in charging costs. Liaoning is doing a good job in carbon emission reduction through photovoltaic storage charging stations, and Tianjin obtains the best economic benefits. Carbon emission reduction can be further boosted if carbon emission social costs are considered only with slightly weakening its economic benefits.

To overview the research advancements on green innovation in China, this paper, based on 1566 pieces of papers of CNKI database during 1998 to 2024, uses paper counts to analyze the developing trend of China's green innovation research, and clarifies its concept, methods and design under different perspectives, and establishes a consolidated framework of green innovation research according to a logic mode of “factors-mechanism-results”, and presents suggestions on deepening green innovation concept, developing a mature measuring way, and diversifying research approaches, and expanding mechanisms and marginal conditions under different viewing perspectives. Published paper counts on China's green innovation research have been climbing due to impacts of economy and policies with uneven distribution, bearing features of across-subjects. Major authors and organizations show a “core-scattering” distribution, less multiple researcher groups and across-regional cooperating organizations characterized by regions. Research hotspots cover its concept, causes, mechanisms and consequences and objectives, with subjects showing diversified scattering and of three evolutionary phases. 1998 to 2009 as concept forming period focusing on concept analysis and theoretical establishment of green innovation, 2010 to 2015 as policy-driven period on factors and consequences, and 2016 to present as diversified integrating period on diversifying research contents marked with 3 features in policy tools innovation, mechanism deepening analysis and technical-economic integration. Concepts of green innovation are defined from objectives, responsibilities, ranges and urgencies, showing compound values, penetrating responsibilities, multiple-dimensional structures and dynamic adaptation. Research approaches and designs involve cases, empirical and simulated analysis. The knowledge framework of green innovation is mainly composed of causes, processes and consequences, of which causes including external environment, individual and organizational levels, processes including mediating and adjusting effects, and consequences including ecological, economic and comprehensive benefits.

As a presentative of large river ecological harness and quality development, eco-environmental protection of Yangtze River economic zone has received governmental much attention and has obtained achievements under policies with Xi's concept of “big-protection-not-big-development”, which need to be further studied their rationality and coverages. This paper uses 8 pieces of ecological protection policies of Yangtze River Economic Zone issued during 2016 to 2021, which are quantitatively assessed by means of text mining and TOPSIS-PMC index model and combined with PMC index and PMC curve. Macroscopically, PMC index of 8 pieces of sample policies has an average value at 7.11, above the excellent level, suggesting these policies are appropriate. Microscopically, the detailed indices of policies vary at their scores, some low suggesting there are issues, including lacks of coalition, lacks of unified protection of hill-water-forest-farmland-lake-grass-sand, lacks of protection codes and lacks of summary. This paper presents suggestions on diversifying ecological protection and harness responsibilities to establish a coordinated system for eco-environmental protection in Yangtze River Economic Zone, on constructing a comprehensive harness system across administrative divisions, and on erecting an exhibition platform for data openness and achievements of ecological protection in Yangtze River Economic Zone.

Mineral resources as a vital support to Heilongjiang's economy plays a critical role in local industrial and economic growth. To ensure their sustainability, Heilongjiang authorities have recently issued a series of mineral resource policies, which lacks a systematic assessment on their performances during execution. This paper uses multiple-dimensional data method to discuss the performance of mineral resources policies of Heilongjiang province. This study designed and dispatched questionnaires for different stakeholders, including mineral resource authorities, exploration units and mine entities with 489 pieces of valid returns. Questionnaires had been first validated with their reliabilities and effectiveness through confidence analysis which ensures their internal consistency, and through effectiveness analysis which verifies the accuracy and relativeness. This paper uses fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) and importance-performance analysis (IPA) to process data for a better understanding of executing performances of different policies. Heilongjiang's mineral resource policies acquire a higher rate in their performance, particularly on policy framework stability, supervision and appropriate mineral resources development. However, some perform poorly, i.e., overlapped issuing mineral rights management on same mineral leads to a low execution efficiency. Regulations regarding “net ore” issue lacks a determined operation standard, increasing complexities and uncertainties in mineral resources management. This paper presents suggestions for Heilongjiang's further mineral resources policies, which provides references in coordinated development among mineral resources management reform, mineral resources development and eco-environmental protection.

As economy grows, vast mining activities will inevitably destroy the local soil and eco-system during or after mining, and lead to occupation of farmlands and forests, and geological environmental issues like polluted air and waters, which threatens people's health and adversely affects eco-environment, attracting a high public attention. This paper, based on a case study on scattering abandoned coal mines in Wangcang county, discusses its geological environmental issues after coal mining, including destroyed forest, geological disasters, solid and water waste pollution. This paper also presents measures for the above issues with gaining practical benefits. The initial terrains holding abandoned wastes can be classified as planar, slope, concave and convex, of which gentle slope accumulation is the most. Slopes with abandoned wastes can be restored by hydraulic sprinkling, 3-dimensional vegetation net sprinkling, cutting, backfilling and consolidating. Geological disasters can be harnessed by “prevention-drainage-maintenance”. Water pollution can be resolved by physical & chemical processing, and ecological restoration. Waste gushing can be handled by clearing accumulates, building walls and drainages. Ecological restoration uses a combination of arbors (high plus low) plus vines plus grasses which technically increases stability and restoring capabilities of eco-system. Performance shows that the measures have largely improved the ecological environment in the mining area, with newly-increased farmland by 8.7 hm², and forest by 480 hm², vegetation restoring rate up to 70% from 30%, soil erosion rate down to 5% from 15%, multiple increase of environmental, social and economic benefits. Scientific management and technical innovation effectively mitigate the risks of geological disasters. This paper provides references for further harnessing abandoned mines for a concept of “green-water-blue-mountain-is-gold-silver-mountain”.
