June 9 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed the need to
always put the people first and advance reform and opening-up in efforts
to promote ecological conservation and high-quality development on the
Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Xi,
also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central
Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the
remarks during his inspection tour of northwest China's Qinghai Province
from Monday to Wednesday. The
trip took Xi to the provincial capital Xining and the Haibei Tibetan
Autonomous Prefecture. On Monday afternoon, Xi visited a carpet
production company in Xining, where he learned about efforts in
preserving and carrying forward local craft of hand-knitting carpets. Xi
stressed encouraging industries that have the most distinctive local
features and the most vigorous enterprises in promoting high-quality
development. He
also called for fostering a policy environment that encourages,
supports and guides the development of private enterprises, as well as
coordinating the development of industries and enterprises with efforts
in boosting employment and promoting rural vitalization and ethnic
unity. Xi
then went to a residential community in Xining. He stressed the roles
of primary-level Party organizations and Party members in community
governance, urging efforts to build residential communities into
important platforms for promoting ethnic unity and progress.

the county of Gangcha in Haibei on Tuesday, Xi said the achievements in
conserving the ecological environment of Qinghai Lake are hard-won, and
must be cherished, consolidated and expanded. He
called for accelerated efforts in building a nature reserves system
"centering on national parks, based on natural reserves and supplemented
by various kinds of natural parks" to better protect the
eco-environment and biodiversity. Xi
then went to a village in Shaliuhe Township where herdsmen have
resettled. Visiting the home of a Tibetan herdsman, Xi said the Party
has won the people's wholehearted support because it has always served
the people with heart and soul and strived for the wellbeing of all
ethnic groups. Speaking
with villagers, Xi said he felt delighted to learn that they are
leading happy lives. "We shall continue to work hard, and by the time
New China celebrates its centenary, the Chinese nation will, without a
doubt, stand firmer and stronger among the world's nations," he said. Not
a single ethnic group should be left behind in the efforts to fully
build a modern socialist China, Xi said, adding that the rejuvenation of
the Chinese nation can be only achieved when all ethnic groups remain
closely united like the seeds of a pomegranate that stick together. On
Wednesday morning, Xi listened to the work reports of the provincial
Party committee and government of Qinghai, and acknowledged the
achievements the province has made in various fields. Xi
stressed Qinghai's significant role in the country's security in
ecological, homeland, and resources and energy spheres, and urged the
province to foster new industries, accelerate the development of a
world-class salt lake industrial base, as well as make itself a clean
energy industry leader, an international eco-tourism destination and a
supplier of green farm and animal products. Qinghai
should stimulate technological innovation and actively align itself
with major regional development strategies such as the Yangtze River
Economic Belt to boost the internal drive of economic growth, he said. On
Qinghai's environmental protection, Xi said that the conservation of
the source of three major rivers should be the utmost priority. The
province should improve the management of national parks, restore the
ecology of its various landscapes, protect biological diversity on the
plateau, and promote ecological conservation and high-quality
development along the Yellow River, he added.

province to coordinate ecological conservation with people's livelihood. He also emphasized the need to consolidate the progress in poverty alleviation and further revitalize the countryside. Xi
expressed sympathy and concern to those affected by a 7.4-magnitude
earthquake, which jolted Maduo County of Qinghai on May 22, and called
for solid reconstruction efforts. Noting
the strategic role of Qinghai in safeguarding stability in Xinjiang and
Tibet, Xi urged full implementation of the Party's general plan for
governing Tibet in the new era and stressed efforts to shoulder due
responsibilities. He also called for more efforts to build the province
into a paragon in ethnic unity and progress. Efforts
should go toward fully implementing the Party's basic policy on
religious work and providing guidance to religions so that they can
adapt to a socialist society, Xi said. Xi also highlighted the value of the Party's revolutionary spirit, which has motivated the Party to forge ahead. By
studying the Party history, all Party members and cadres must remind
themselves of the oath of loyalty to the Party, deliver benefits to the
people, and exercise strict self-discipline, said Xi. Xi
also stressed further improving Party conduct, promoting integrity, and
training a contingent of competent and professional officials loyal to
the Party, with moral integrity and a keen sense of responsibility.
