ABSTRACT: Land-ocean integration is an important strategic measure for China to
build a maritime power, which was originally proposed to describe the overall
consideration of the protection of land and marine ecological environments, and
later this concept gradually evolved into the coordinated development of ocean
and land, and the application fields of this measure have gradually expanded
from the environmental field to economic, political, cultural and other fields.
By summarizing and analyzing classical Marxist literature and policy documents
of the Communist Party of China, this paper aims to delineate the historical
evolution of China’s land-ocean integration policy, and argues that this policy
is built on the solid foundation of absorbing the classical Marxism theory and
inheriting as well as developing the views and thoughts of several generations
of Chinese Communists. It also discusses in detail the development conditions,
roads, goals and methods of the land-ocean integration policy.
