  ABSTRACT: Marked by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2022, the “Two Carbons” discourse—carbon peaking and carbon neutrality—has been incorporated into the overall layout of China’s eco-civilizational progress, which will play an important leading or testing role in building a Chinese modernization with harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature in the coming decades. If the evolution of global decarbonization discourse is understood correctly as a process of continuous construction, it would be easy for us to draw a conclusion that the Chinese case is both a process of adaptation (international diffusion) and of reshaping (autonomous innovation) of global environmental discourse, indicating that more attention needs to be paid to the rising discourse autonomy of developing countries like China in international climate politics.
