China’s Marine Governance: An Administrative Law Framework for Optimization
China's marine governance relies heavily on red-light instruments, 83.4% of policy references are command-and-control measures. That is a statistically validated imbalance. Our content analysis of 34 national policy documents reveals that ex post regulation dominates, while green-light fiscal tools and amber-light public participation remain underdeveloped. This configuration is institutionally justified by marine risks' irreversibility, but the real challenge is coordination. Prevention must lead.

Analyzing China’s Ocean Policies: A Data-Driven Assessment of Progress
China's marine ecological policies, measured across 30 initiatives from 2015 to 2024, show a mean PMC index of 6.243, signaling strong performance in goal consistency and implementation efficiency. Yet, the data reveals uneven progress: policy scope, timeliness, and issuing institutions lag behind. Fujian's case underscores how policy text design can make or break governance outcomes. This empirical assessment offers a calibrated lens for refining ocean stewardship, a step toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
