Abstract
For China, the increase in foreign investment brings both benefits and difficulties. The fundamental focus of these challenges is the defense of human rights, notably environmental rights. The main topic of this essay is China's protection of environmental rights in light of foreign investment. These issues are mostly seen in the light punishments, particularly administrative fines, the challenge of reconciling the amount of fines with real losses, and the rigorous examination of plaintiffs' eligibility for environmental public interest lawsuits. The inadequate environmental regulatory systems and policy objectives, as well as the lack of coherence between statutory requirements and enforcement procedures, are further factors contributing to the recurring violations of environmental rights. As a result, steps including modernizing domestic substantive and procedural legislation, introducing and establishing home country responsibility mechanisms gradually, and attempting to create a smooth transition between domestic and international law should be taken and put into action.
