%X During the middle of the 19~(th) century,the young America started to explore and develop its western territory for economic development and national security.The federal government passed a series of laws and regulations to promote western settlement and resource development,including privatization of public lands,development of large irrigation projects,construction of railroads,harvest of forests,drainage of wetlands,and mining of mineral resources.By the beginning of the twenties century,the United States had become one of the industrialized economic and military superpowers in the world.However,the pursuit for maximum profit by market economy had led to the gross depletion of the natural resources and caused severe damages to the ecosystems of the U.S.West.,The establishment of "reserved land" for native Americans largely destroyed their culture and habitat.The speculation and privatization of public lands also caused polarization of wealth and income distribution.This paper reviews the developmental process of the U.S.West during the 19~(th) century,and discusses its implications to China's "go-west" campaign.By comparing the U.S.and China west development processes,the paper makes the following suggestions to China's "go-west" campaign: 1) Implementation of mandatory environmental education programs for shifting citizens'paradigm on environment;2) Enforcement of environmental policy and regulations for environmental protection;3) Establishment of appropriate policies and regulations for encouragement and management of development processes;4) Promotion of government policy-guided market economy; 5) Enhancement of capital investment for improvement of basic infrastructures;6) Extension of both formal and informal education enterprises for human capacity building;7) Implementation of equality and improvement of the welfare for all ethnic groups.
