Abstract: This study examines the major internal and external mechanisms of the increasing environmentalism in Chinese economy. The economic dimension of environmentionalization processes in the context of economic development. The main goal of this article is to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of said processes and to outline possible methods of overcoming their contradicting currents. Studying the experience of the People's Republic of China, the strengths and weaknesses of the Chinese approach to the environmentalization of the economy is necessary not only to understand the contemporary situation and to predict the future external and internal policies of the country. The results of the study may be useful for building possible scenarios for the development of other growing economies. The author analyses and outlines the political, market and social mechanisms necessary to achieve the set goals of the economy's environmentalization mechanisms. The author studies their main traits and spotlights the trends which are common to the said process in Chinese economy. The author also outlines the contradictions which China faces in the process of building a greener economy. The said contradictions include the conflict between the economy and the environment (1), the conflict of interest between the central government and regional authorities (2), the uneven environment-friendliness of large companies and smaller enterprises (3), as well as the lack of environmental awareness among the Chinese economy's actors (4). The author concludes by offering a number of ways to overcome the said contradictions.
