Biography

Views

edit

In the 1990s and early 2000s, Wen critiqued China's approach to rural marketization and nationwide urbanization policies.[5]: 48  He criticized state-directed rural modernization and what he viewed as the fetishization of technocratic modernization models.[5]: 48 

Wen often expresses his views of sustainable development with reference to the concept of ecological civilization.[5]: 48  Wen's approach to ecological civilization emphasizes the need to maintain traditional rural ways of living while supporting income parity, small-scale production, and social justice.[5]: 49  As of at least 2023, Wen's interpretations of the ecological civilization concept are a minority view within Chinese political and academic discourse on the subject.[5]: 49–50
