President Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, chaired a pivotal meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on Monday. The meeting was convened to review critical reports and discuss strategic opinions aimed at advancing China's high-quality development and ecological conservation efforts.
During the meeting, reports from the leading Party members' groups of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), the State Council, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the Supreme People's Court (SPC), and the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) were thoroughly examined. The meeting also reviewed opinions on comprehensively promoting ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.
The leadership acknowledged the significant achievements of these Party groups over the past year and approved their work plans for 2025. Emphasizing the importance of implementation and reform, the meeting called on these groups to contribute actively to advancing high-quality development and the overarching goal of Chinese modernization.
A key focus of the meeting was the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin. The leadership underscored the need to promote the full enforcement of the Yellow River Protection Law. Efforts will be made to enhance water source conservation in the upper reaches, strengthen soil and water conservation in the middle reaches, and advance wetland protection and ecological governance in the lower reaches.
The meeting also highlighted the importance of ensuring the safety of critical infrastructure such as dams and reservoirs. There is a call to strengthen the synergy between the Yellow River's high-quality development and national strategies like the large-scale development of the western region and the rise of the central region. Additionally, the leadership emphasized improving the holistic and systematic protection of cultural heritage and promoting the integration of culture and tourism development.
The Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee was urged to boost political ability, enforce strict self-governance, and accomplish all tasks entrusted by the CPC Central Committee.
This meeting reflects China's continued commitment to ecological conservation and sustainable development, particularly in regions of significant environmental and cultural importance like the Yellow River Basin.
As China progresses toward its goals for 2025, the emphasis on high-quality development and ecological protection remains a top priority, with the leadership calling for concerted efforts to drive reforms and ensure the well-being of the nation.
