"Zhihe Wang′s article ″Ecological Marxism in China,″ which appeared in the February 2012 Monthly Review, demonstrated that Chinese interest in ecological Marxism has grown rapidly over the past two decades. Ecological Marxism is regarded by some scholars as ″the most important resource for developing Chinese Marxist philosophy in the new age.″ The practical, political, and theoretical reasons for its success include: pressing environmental issues facing China; the government′s call for ecological civilization; the many characteristics that ecological Marxism shares with traditional Chinese Marxism; and the support it has provided for China′s environmental movement."
