As the largest of the developing countries in the world, China has the characteristics of a fragile situation of the natural resources and environment basis when compared with others. By analyzing the current situation of the national security of natural resources and environment by 10 selected countries with a population of over 100 million for each in the world, China is in a place just a little better than Japan but worse than all the 8 others. More seriously, the country will face a great challenge in this area when considering a growing population and a rising living standard in the next 20 to 50 years. It is estimated that pressures on eroding or even ruining the fragile basis of the nation's natural resources and environment could be greater and greater, and it will be particularly true if the government and the whole society have not a fully consciou of on the phenomena and stick to the traditional policy which always highlighted economic development first as before. This paper suggests, therefore, that the paramount task for the country's sustainable development in future should be to reconstruct its policy structure with a pronounced target of stabilizing and improving the current situation of the natural resources and environment basis of the country, and a suggested model for this purpose can be described.
