At the historical intersection of healthy China and the calls on building China into education powerhouse, adolescent health has become the core concern of China. Based on the practical work in school health in China, this paper makes adolescent health a priority and adolescent health promotion as a policy rationale, reviews the background of the current adolescent health promotion policy and interprets the overall thinking in the process of policy design, unconventional strategies, breakthrough policies, pilot projects and cutting edge technologies. Beyond that, this editorial also analyzes the policy focus comprehensively, and describes the current and future national implementation of the strategy and plan of action, from a broader scope of education, health and public health under the national blueprint on Healthy China 2030 and China s Education Modernisation Plan towards 2035.
