Summary:The protection of the Yangtze River Basin is a top priority in China, and the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee has started to draft a new protection legislation specifically for the Yangtze River Basin. The Basin forms the epicenter of environmental, social, and economic life. Any efforts to protect the Basin must accommodate several competing interests from a multiplicity of interested parties and stakeholders such as local governments, villages, and business enterprises. Current relevant institutions and organizations are unable to sufficiently ensure environmental protection and green development in the Basin. The NPC Standing Committee must thus adopt a more holistic approach when creating new protection legislations aimed at the Yangtze River Basin.
