FOLLOWING A GREEN PATH
With the domestic COVID-19 epidemic waning and China powering ahead in returning to work and resuming business and production, Xi's remarks reaffirmed the country's determination to follow a green development path and implement the national strategy for high-quality development.
It has been a tough but firm choice for China, especially at a time when the world's second-largest economy is struggling to cope with the uNPRecedented economic challenge brought by the epidemic. But the country stands steadfast in resisting the old way of developing the economy at the cost of the environment.
Xi has always attached great importance to the protection and improvement of the country's water system as well as the balance between economic development and ecological protection.
Visiting a wetland of Dianchi Lake in Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province, in January, for instance, Xi made a similar emphasis on ecological civilization and green development. Once among the most polluted lakes in China, the Dianchi Lake has seen its ecology greatly improve after years of conservation efforts.
China has stepped up rolling out measures to enhance environmental protection and pursue high-quality development.
In April, the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Finance announced the first batch of 55 pilot counties for water system connectivity and comprehensive improvement of rural water systems, with the central government allocating 2.5 billion yuan (about 353 million U.S. dollars) to these counties to fight rural water pollution.
