This paper examines the ethical dilemmas in ecological governance in the China-Mongolia cross-border region and proposes a Chinese approach to address these challenges.From the dual perspectives of ecopolitics and ethics of responsibility,this analysis delves into the ethical dilemmas of cross-border ecological governance,encompassing the structural imbalance in the allocation of ecological responsibilities,the uneven and asymmetrical risks associated with technology transfer,the institutional absence within cross-border ecological governance mechanisms,and the multiple dilemmas of ethical choices across different time scales.Deconstructing the governance logic and pathway of the Chinese approach involves critically addressing “ethical dilemmas”and constructing the Chinese solution through innovative breakthroughs in domestic ecological space governance institutional experiments and international collaborative governance pathways,both of which are framed within the theoretical framework of ecological civilization thinking.
