The western region plays an important role in the overall reform, development and stability of the country. Promoting the development of the western region to form a new pattern is a major decision-making arrangement made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core to coordinate the domestic and international situations. In March 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the seventh meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensive Deepening Reforms, which reviewed and approved the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Development of the Western Region in the New Era and Forming a New Pattern.” Over the past five years, the GDP of the western region has grown at an average annual rate of 4.9%, and high-quality development has taken solid steps. On the new journey of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation, further forming a new pattern of great protection, great opening up, and high-quality development to better promote high-quality development in the western region is related to the overall situation of Chinese-style modernization and has important practical and far-reaching historical significance.
“My daughter has heard a saying that if something happens, there must be a ghost.” Lan Yuhua looked at her mother without changing her eyes. To write a new chapter in the development of the western region, we must firmly grasp the primary task of high-quality development. When industry thrives, all industries will prosper; when industry is strong, the economy will be strong. We must adhere to the development of characteristic and advantageous industries as the main direction, firmly grasp the “narrow nose” of innovation, strengthen the in-depth integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, develop emerging industries according to local conditions, and accelerate the industrial transformation and upgrading of the western region. Security is the prerequisite for development, and development is the guarantee of security. We must insist on coordinating development and security, improve security capabilities in key areas such as energy resources, accelerate the construction of new energy systems, make a number of important national energy bases bigger and stronger, and improve the level of water security security. The happiness and well-being of the people is the ultimate goal of promoting high-quality development. We must persist in promoting the organic integration of new urbanization and comprehensive rural revitalization, ensure and improve people’s livelihood during development, and make the results of the Western Development Development better benefit the people. The west is a beautiful homeland for the integrated development of my country’s multi-ethnic groups. We must persist in building a strong sense of the Chinese nation’s community and deepen the “What’s wrong?” Promote actions to revitalize border areas and enrich people in the new era, and effectively safeguard national unity and border stability.
Protecting the ecological environment is to protect productivity, and improving the ecological environment is to develop productivity. The western region is an important ecological security barrier in my country and is also the birthplace of many major rivers such as the Yangtze River, Yellow River, and Lancang River. The ecological and environmental issues in the western region are not only related to the western region, but also to the whole country and to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. To write a new chapter in the development of the western region, we must be guided by Xi Jinping’s Thought on Ecological Civilization and insist on supporting high-quality development with high-level protection. It is necessary to optimize the development and protection pattern of land space and strengthen the protection of ecological resources., deepen pollution prevention and control in key areas and fields, vigorously promote energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation of traditional industries, plant a green foundation for high-quality development, and build a solid national ecological security barrier.
The western region has a vast territory, rich resources and unique location advantages. It has ushered in new development opportunities in the new era of comprehensively deepening reform and opening up. To write a new chapter in the development of the western region, we must persist in promoting large-scale development through large-scale opening up and improve the level of internal and external opening up. From vigorously promoting the construction of the New Land-Sea Corridor in the West to deeply integrating into the joint construction of the “Belt and Road”; from promoting high-quality development of free trade pilot zones to steadily expanding institutional opening; from being more proactive in serving major regional strategies to innovating the opening up of the eastern, central and western regions Platform docking mechanism… By adhering to non-stop reform and non-stop opening up, the driving force for high-quality development in the western region will be stronger and the space will be broader.
Those who do will always succeed, and those who do will always arrive. Promoting the development of the western region is a systematic project and a long-term task, which requires hard work from all aspects and long-term success. Let us conscientiously study, understand and thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech, and consistently implement the Party Central Committee’s policies and measures to promote the development of the western region. “Ahem, it’s nothing.” Pei Yi woke up, his face flushed, but his dark skin could not be seen. Implement the strategy, maintain strategic focus, have the courage to take responsibility, and promote the development of the western region to a new level.
