INTRODUCTION
One Health governance in China represents a multidimensional framework that integrates human health, animal health, and environmental sustainability to address shared risks of emerging infectious diseases, food safety threats, and ecological challenges. This study critically evaluates China’s current One Health system, highlighting its strategic approach and operational mechanisms. By focusing on governance as the central theme, the research aims to explore both progress and persistent gaps within political, institutional, and societal levels. Understanding these interlinked factors provides an evidence-based foundation for strengthening governance structures, improving intersectoral coordination, and ensuring alignment with global standards of One Health implementation.
POLITICAL COMMITMENT AND RESEARCH IMPLICATIONS
Political commitment forms the backbone of effective One Health governance in China. The research reveals that while there is strong national support at the highest levels of government, the absence of a unified national strategy remains a critical gap. This creates challenges in translating political will into long-term institutionalized actions. Further research should examine how political priorities influence policy coherence and resource allocation across ministries. Understanding the political economy of One Health in China is essential for assessing sustainability and resilience in health security.
LEGISLATION AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS
Legislation plays a pivotal role in shaping One Health outcomes by providing the legal basis for prevention, surveillance, and response to health threats. China has made significant progress in drafting laws and regulations targeting zoonotic diseases, food safety, and environmental protection. However, fragmentation across different sectors results in limited enforcement and regulatory overlaps. Future research must evaluate the impact of fragmented legislation on disease control outcomes and propose models for harmonizing regulations within a cohesive One Health legal system.
LEADERSHIP BUILDING AND CRISIS MANAGEMENT
The role of leadership in One Health governance becomes particularly visible during health crises, as evidenced by China’s coordinated responses to outbreaks. Yet, leadership structures are often temporary and lack institutionalization. This research highlights the need for long-term leadership development programs that go beyond emergency response. Analyzing past outbreak responses provides insights into how adaptive leadership can transition from crisis-driven coordination to sustainable, institutionalized governance.
STRATEGIC PLANNING AND INTERSECTORAL COORDINATION
Strategic planning is a cornerstone for the success of One Health governance. While regional pilot programs and initiatives exist, China still requires a comprehensive national plan that integrates human, animal, and environmental health. Research should focus on evaluating existing strategic plans, identifying their limitations, and proposing scalable models that strengthen intersectoral coordination. Policy-driven planning linked with research evidence can help ensure better preparedness for emerging zoonotic and environmental threats.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Stakeholder engagement remains an evolving yet underdeveloped area in China’s One Health governance. Public awareness, academic contributions, and professional participation have grown in recent years; however, local community involvement remains weak. Research should investigate barriers to community participation and explore inclusive models that empower grassroots stakeholders. Strengthening engagement across multiple levels of society is vital for ensuring sustainability, accountability, and shared responsibility in One Health governance.
