Abstract

The investment of multinational enterprises (hereinafter referred to as MNEs) in China has promoted the local economy’s development and caused serious environmental damage. From the perspective of MNEs, the reason is the high cost of environmental protection in the home country of MNEs leads to the internalization of the environmental cost and the absence of the principle of public interest in the enterprise value orientation. From the perspective of the host country, the reason is the development philosophy of Economy Polarism. Taking China as an example, this paper summarizes three main forms of damage to the environment caused by multinational enterprises and analyze the existing problems of the current legal system. Based on what has been mentioned above, the following suggestions are given: to improve the law related to the environmental problem, reinforce the supervision for the MNEs and increase the punishment of pollution.
