The Chinese mainland is set to undergo a transformative phase as Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, chaired a pivotal meeting on Friday. The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee convened to review and strategize policies aimed at opening new avenues for large-scale development in the western region.
Emphasizing well-coordinated environmental conservation, large-scale economic opening, and high-quality development, the meeting outlined a comprehensive approach to elevate the region's overall strength and sustainable development capacity. Xi underscored the importance of deepening reforms, unleashing productive forces, and boosting societal vitality to pave a unique path of modernization tailored to the western region's realities.
A key focus is the development of specialty industries that leverage local strengths, enhancing technological innovation capabilities, and promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. These initiatives are designed to foster economic resilience and adaptability in a rapidly changing global landscape.
Environmental stewardship remains a top priority, with strong directives to advance green and low-carbon development, thorough pollution prevention and control, and the construction of clean energy bases. The goal is to build a beautiful western region that harmonizes economic growth with ecological preservation.
The meeting also highlighted the importance of enhancing economic openness, ensuring energy and resource security, and advancing new urbanization that aligns with local conditions. Consolidating poverty alleviation achievements and preventing large-scale relapses into poverty in rural areas were identified as critical objectives.
Furthermore, fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation was emphasized to safeguard ethnic unity and stability in border areas, ensuring harmonious development across diverse populations.
