The western Sichuan is a region with various first-class environmental problems like earthquakes and geological disasters. In field studies, people responsible for the environmental safety of western Sichuan argue that the region is confronted by the shortage of fund and expertise. And there are even people claiming that “all they need is money”. It seems that “fund” and “expertise” lie in the core of the problem, which is still in question. The paper, aiming at improving the management system and capacity of geological disasters in western Sichuan, used the landslide in Die Xi in 2017 as the case study to explore the problems and challenges confronting the region, including the weak legal system, defective management mechanism and ineffective disaster prediction.
