On March 5, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平), while participating in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation, emphasized: "We must conscientiously organize and carry out study and education on establishing and practicing a correct view of performance, guide the vast number of party members and cadres to implement the overall requirements of 'serving the party for the public, benefiting the people, making scientific decisions, and working hard,' and create achievements that can withstand the test of practice, the people, and history."
Discussing planning, seeking development, and talking about people's livelihoods cannot be separated from establishing and practicing a correct view of performance. In recent days, this has become the consensus of representatives, members of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the broad masses of cadres and people.
How can party members and cadres implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important speech, be brave in taking responsibility, be good at doing things, and ensure a good start for the "15th Five-Year Plan"? The reporter conducted interviews on this.
Do More Things That Lay the Foundation and Benefit the Long Term
The fundamental way to establish performance is to combine the immediate interests of the people with their long-term interests. Party members and cadres must not only focus on the present but also look to the future, do more practical things with their heads down, create "latent achievements" that benefit future generations, and not seek "obvious achievements" that seek quick success and instant benefits.
"When Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) worked in Zhengding (正定), Hebei (河北), he was good at governing for the people, seeking truth and being pragmatic, being brave in taking responsibility, and making long-term efforts, which set a brilliant example for party members and cadres in the new era to start businesses." Yang Weikun (杨伟坤), representative and president of Hebei Finance University (河北金融学院), said, "We must seek truth and be pragmatic, work hard, adhere to 'drawing a blueprint to the end,' run education that satisfies the people, and cultivate more outstanding talents for the party and the country."
In the bright spring, egrets fly and plants flourish on the banks of Yundang Lake (筼筜湖) in Xiamen (厦门), Fujian (福建).
It is hard to imagine that decades ago, this was still a "stinky lake" with sewage flowing and fish and shrimp disappearing. "Yundang Lake (筜湖) is so clean and beautiful now, thanks to the General Secretary. Without the in-depth management of that year, there would be no beautiful environment today." Lin Danling (林丹玲), a resident of Hubin Community (湖滨社区), Kaiyuan Street (开元街道), Siming District (思明区), Xiamen (厦门), said that she hopes that leading cadres will continue to respond to the concerns of the people when thinking about problems, making decisions, and doing things, and do more practical things that the people applaud.
In August 2006, Xi Jinping (习近平), then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, went to Changxing County (长兴县), Huzhou (湖州), Zhejiang (浙江) for investigation and research, and told local cadres to "protect the ecology of Huzhou (湖州) and build South Taihu Lake (南太湖) well." Bearing this in mind, the cadres and people of Changxing (长兴) laid two long-term "foundations" - an ecological foundation and a transformation foundation. Today, in the land of Zhijiang (之江), including Changxing (长兴), the environment is beautiful, and the people's wallets are more bulging.
Shen Yanji (沈燕姬), a villager in Xiaochenzhu Village (小沉渎村), Changxing County (长兴县), personally felt the improvement of the local ecological environment and the gradual improvement of the people's living standards. "The grassroots cadres have improved the rural environment and improved the style of the Loushui Port (溇港). The ecology of the village is beautiful, and we have also found a way to enrich the people through cultural tourism." Shen Yanji (沈燕姬) said, "I hope that the cadres will continue to follow the direction guided by the General Secretary, lay a more solid foundation for ecological protection, industrial transformation, and people's livelihood security, and make our lives better and better."
Caoyang New Village (曹杨新村) in Putuo District (普陀区), Shanghai (上海) is the first workers' new village in New China. During the renovation and reconstruction, the local area faced a choice: whether to only renovate the houses or to renovate the public space together. If only the houses are renovated, it will take effect quickly, but the problems will return in a few years. In the end, the local area chose a more difficult path: to promote the transformation of public service facilities simultaneously. The project cycle is longer, but the quality of life of residents has been significantly improved after the transformation.
"To achieve performance for the people, leading cadres are required to jump out of short-term interests, focus on the long-term, and truly be responsible to the people." Xu Chunhui (许春辉), Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Caoyang New Village Street (曹杨新村街道), said.
Adhere to Scientific Decision-Making, Democratic Decision-Making, and Law-Based Decision-Making
Establishing and practicing a correct view of performance, scientific decision-making, democratic decision-making, and law-based decision-making are inherent requirements. Major decisions must be strictly in accordance with procedures, fully promote democracy, and widely listen to opinions and suggestions, so as to be both comprehensive and clear.
"Adhering to starting from reality and acting according to the law is the basis and prerequisite for practicing a correct view of performance." Zheng Yali (郑亚莉), member and vice president of Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics (浙江财经大学), said that correct decisions are not generated by sitting in the office and thinking hard, "Cadres who are in charge of leadership must have the determination to look down and the spirit of being a primary school student before making decisions on major issues, and conduct on-the-spot investigations."
"To establish and practice a correct view of performance, we must adhere to handling affairs in accordance with laws and policies, and eliminate short-term behavior and blind decision-making." Pan Guoqiang (潘国强), Deputy Secretary of the Ningde Municipal Party Committee (宁德市委) and Mayor of Ningde (宁德), Fujian (福建), said, "This year, Ningde City (宁德市) will take the construction of a government under the rule of law as the starting point, improve the normalized law-learning mechanism, strictly implement the procedures for major administrative decisions, improve the ability to use the thinking and methods of the rule of law to promote work, and serve and guarantee high-quality development with a high level of rule of law."
"In-depth research is the 'golden key' to practicing a correct view of performance and breaking down development obstacles." Ma Yangbiao (马扬飚), Deputy Director of the Science Park Management Committee of Hebei Xiong'an New Area (河北雄安新区), said that Xi Jinping (习近平) went deep into the grassroots level and sought advice from the people during his work in Hebei (河北), and used "real research" to solve development problems, which pointed out the direction for us to base ourselves on our positions and start businesses.
For a long time, Ma Yangbiao (马扬飚) and his colleagues have adhered to sinking to the front line, conducting regular visits and listening to needs, accurately locating the service focus and policy optimization points from the urgent needs of innovation entities, and unblocking the blockages in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. "We will continue to promote the pre-research of important projects, public technology platforms and pilot test bases, and promote the high-quality development of Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区)." Ma Yangbiao (马扬飚) said.
"After the barrier-free facilities are built, we disabled people should experience it first: wheelchairs run through the passage, blind people walk through the blind road, and the toilet should also be tried by disabled people." Wang Sen (王森), a Shanghai (上海) citizen with a leg disability, made a suggestion when soliciting opinions on Shanghai's (上海) "15th Five-Year Plan."
"I didn't expect that this suggestion was later incorporated into the plan, and the city proposed to improve the acceptance management mechanism for barrier-free facilities. This made me feel the changes brought about by democratic decision-making." Wang Sen (王森) said, "When Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) worked in Shanghai (上海), he attached great importance to listening to the voices of the people, and many decisions came from grassroots research and the opinions of the people. I hope that Shanghai's (上海) urban construction will be more refined, so that barrier-free facilities can truly facilitate everyone in need."
Grasp Solidly and Work Hard with the Spirit of Nail-Driving
The great road is simple, and solid work is essential.
Li Zhenfu (李贞福), 80 years old this year, lives in Zhengding County (正定县), Hebei (河北). Recalling the scene of Zhengding (正定) carrying out cultural relic protection and developing tourism more than 40 years ago, he still remembers clearly: "When Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) worked in Zhengding (正定), he repaired Longxing Temple (隆兴寺) and built Rongguo Mansion (荣国府), which laid a solid foundation for Zhengding (正定) to carry out ancient city protection and develop cultural tourism." Today, the ancient city with thousands of years of history is full of vitality, and Zhengding's (正定) cultural tourism is booming.
"Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) practiced 'say one thing, do one thing; do one thing, accomplish one thing' with his words and deeds. This good style is a valuable spiritual wealth for party members and cadres." Li Zhenfu (李贞福) said.
Only by getting mud on your feet can you have a bottom in your heart. In the view of Zhang Yimin (张义民), Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Lusheng Village (芦胜村), Pujin Street (浦锦街道), Minhang District (闵行区), Shanghai (上海), to grasp solidly and work hard is to do every small thing carefully and solidly.
Last year, a peach orchard in the village was misjudged as vegetable land due to satellite imagery and faced clearing. This worried Zhang Yimin (张义民). He flipped through the materials and ran to the departments, and finally promoted the relevant departments to re-verify and "rectified the name" for the 15 acres of peach orchard.
"There is no shortcut to rural revitalization, we can only knock one hammer after another. As long as it is beneficial to the masses, we have to do it no matter how difficult it is." Zhang Yimin (张义民) said.
"During his work in Fuzhou (福州), Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) personally presided over the preparation of the '3820' strategic project, drew a blueprint for building a modern international city, and vigorously advocated the excellent style of 'handling immediately and working hard,' leading Fuzhou (福州) to achieve leapfrog development." Wu Xiande (吴贤德), Mayor of Fuzhou (福州), Fujian (福建), said, "Performance must be created through hard work. During the '15th Five-Year Plan' period, we will firmly establish and practice a correct view of performance, adhere to the essence of the '3820' strategic project thought, work hard and take responsibility, and make long-term efforts to accelerate the construction of a modern international city, so that 'Fuzhou (福州), a city with blessings' will better benefit the people."
The blueprint has been drawn, and the key lies in implementation. Yang Xiaokai (杨晓开), member of the Standing Committee of the Yongkang Municipal Party Committee (永康市委) and Minister of the Organization Department, said that we must focus on the word "implementation" and unswervingly promote the implementation of work arrangements.
"We will guide the grassroots party organizations, party members and cadres of villages and communities to adhere to the principle of achieving practical results through hard work, put all their minds on starting businesses, put all their energy on grasping implementation, and focus on deeply exploring advantageous resources and planning characteristic projects." Yang Xiaokai (杨晓开) said that party members and cadres must truly write the eight characters of "being an official for one term and benefiting one party" on the ridges of the fields.

"The annual production of new energy vehicles exceeds 16 million units," a figure in this year's government work report that is very encouraging. The rapidly increasing scale also brings new challenges—how to recycle and utilize power batteries after they "retire"?
"This is both a challenge and an opportunity," said Li Changdong (李长东), Chairman of Guangdong Brunp Recycling Technology Co., Ltd. (广东邦普循环科技有限公司), on the "Representatives' Corridor" on the morning of March 9.
Li Changdong (李长东) recalled that more than 20 years ago, China's recycling of used batteries was almost non-existent. "At that time, they were either 'soaked in pools' or 'fried in large iron pots,' which not only polluted the environment but also wasted resources."
In 2005, with the determination to "let used batteries come from and return to where they came from," Li Changdong (李长东) and 13 other young people founded a company in Foshan (佛山), Guangdong (广东), and plunged into this industry. Talking about development, Li Changdong (李长东) said, "We must persevere in what we believe in."
At this year's National People's Congress (全国两会), General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out, "Strive for new breakthroughs in strengthening original innovation and tackling key core technologies, and seizing the commanding heights of science and technology."
"Adhering to independence and self-reliance," Li Changdong (李长东) felt deeply. The team initially tried to purchase advanced technology from abroad, but found that what they bought back were mostly outdated processes. "This 'pitfall' instead made us determined to take the path of independent research and development." Li Changdong (李长东) said that after years of tackling key problems, the team developed directional recycling technology, solving the problem of "waste reduction," and achieving a recovery rate of 99.6% for nickel, cobalt, manganese, and other materials. Today, the company's annual R&D investment exceeds 1.5 billion yuan, and it has accumulated more than 6,000 patent applications, embarking on a path of independent innovation and strengthening the enterprise through science and technology.
From going door-to-door to collect batteries to independently developing solutions to problems, Li Changdong's (李长东) entrepreneurial path is also a microcosm of China's accelerated shift from following to running alongside and leading in scientific and technological innovation.
"Currently, for every 3 'retired' new energy vehicles in the country, 1 has its used batteries handled by us. For every 4 ternary lithium batteries in the world, 1 has its key materials supplied by us," said Li Changdong (李长东). "In the future, we will refine, thoroughly understand, and make battery recycling a long-term endeavor, contributing to the high-quality development of the circular economy."

One card, can it "smoothly travel" through more than 64,000 medical institutions?
On the "Representative Channel" on the morning of March 9th, Gu Xue (顾雪), Director of the Hebei (河北) Province Hengshui (衡水) City Medical Insurance Bureau, shared a heartwarming story about people's livelihood.
"Our local resident, Grandpa Sun (孙大爷), went to Beijing (北京) for surgery. Upon discharge, he swiped his social security card and the 18,000 yuan expense was settled on the spot, with him only paying 6,000 yuan," said Gu Xue (顾雪). She added that in the past, cross-provincial medical treatment involved more procedures and a longer process. "From traveling back and forth to instant settlement with a swipe, this change is deeply felt by the people."
Faced with the people's growing and diversified health needs, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized at this year's National People's Congress, "We must highlight key points and tightly grasp the work that benefits a wide range of people and affects the whole body."
In April 2023, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀) comprehensively achieved "one card access" for medical treatment. Now, a social security card or a social security code can be used in more than 64,000 medical institutions in the three regions.
Now, it is more convenient for people in Hebei (河北) to seek medical treatment in Beijing (北京) and Tianjin (天津), and the number of people from Beijing (北京) and Tianjin (天津) seeking medical treatment in Hebei (河北) is also increasing, reaching 7.5 million in 2025 alone, an increase of more than 30% year-on-year.
"This not only alleviates the diagnostic and treatment pressure on medical institutions in Beijing (北京) and Tianjin (天津), but also drives the improvement of medical service levels in Hebei (河北), achieving 'complementarity' of medical services in the three regions," said Gu Xue (顾雪). Hebei (河北) actively undertakes the relocation of elderly care projects from Beijing (北京) and Tianjin (天津), and the elderly can enjoy direct medical insurance settlement in designated medical institutions in Hebei (河北), and can also be transferred through green channels.
Such a change is a microcosm of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀).
In 2024, the Standing Committees of the People's Congresses of Beijing (北京), Tianjin (天津), and Hebei (河北) jointly passed legislation to introduce regulations to promote the "one-card access" of social security cards. "Now the application scenarios of social security cards are increasing, from medical care, transportation, and tourism to public cultural services, all can be 'one-card access'," said Gu Xue (顾雪). "These changes have brought more tangible convenience to the people, which is precisely the temperature of people's livelihood reflected in the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀)."

This year's National People's Congress (全国两会), the phrase "deeply promoting the action of enriching the people and developing the border areas" was written into the government work report, and improving the production and life of people of all ethnic groups in the border areas has received high attention.
At the group meeting, Doletiman Kaimike (多来提曼·开米克), the Party branch secretary of Xiabuzikala Village (夏布孜喀拉村), Wacha Township (瓦恰乡), Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County (塔什库尔干塔吉克自治县), Xinjiang (新疆), spoke about the changes in his hometown. "In the past, we relied on yaks to deliver goods and horses to see doctors, and it took several days to go to the county seat. Now, asphalt roads have been built to our doorsteps, and there is also Khunjerab Airport (红其拉甫机场) in the county." Doletiman Kaimike (多来提曼·开米克) said, "Many people did not expect that there would be an airport on the plateau, and they could take a plane from Taxkorgan County (塔县) to travel."
As he spoke, he solemnly took out a stone. On both sides of the stone, the words "China (中国)" and "Loyalty (忠诚)" were written, and the four red characters were particularly eye-catching.
"This stone was found by the village's border guards during a patrol." Doletiman Kaimike (多来提曼·开米克) said, "The red characters were written by the border guards. Knowing that I was going to participate in the National People's Congress (全国两会), he specially asked me to bring this stone to Beijing (北京). Guarding the border and defending the border, engraving China (中国) in our hearts, this is our most sincere voice."
Doletiman Kaimike's (多来提曼·开米克) story deeply moved the people present.
When visiting villagers, the word Doletiman Kaimike (多来提曼·开米克) heard most often was "gratitude," "The hearts of the people of all ethnic groups in Taxkorgan County (塔县) are always with the Party Central Committee (党中央). This conference reviewed the draft law on promoting ethnic unity and progress. The promulgation of this law will surely make the 'pomegranate seeds' embrace each other more tightly."
"Taxkorgan County (塔县) is adjacent to many countries. Like my family, many families have been guarding the border for three generations."
"My name 'Doletiman (多来提曼)' means 'peace and security of the country' in Tajik." This is the expectation of his parents, and it is also the pursuit of Doletiman Kaimike's (多来提曼·开米克) life.
After being elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress (全国人大代表), Doletiman Kaimike (多来提曼·开米克) rooted his duties in the front line of the border. Visiting border guards, patrolling the border together, listening to their voices and demands, and also bringing the spirit of the policies to the border line.
"I hope to continue to promote the construction of strengthening the border and consolidating the defense, improve border infrastructure, and further improve the security level of border guards." Doletiman Kaimike (多来提曼·开米克) brought practical suggestions.
From a border guard to a deputy to the National People's Congress (全国人大代表), talking about these two identities, he said that what remains unchanged is the word "guarding": "Border guards guard the border and the gate of the country; deputies to the National People's Congress (全国人大代表) guard the hearts of the people and the expectations of the masses. The two identities, in the final analysis, are guarding the border, guarding the home, and guarding the hearts of the people."
"This time I go back, I want to explain the latest policies to the masses clearly and thoroughly, and at the same time, I will try to solve some practical difficulties for the villagers." Doletiman Kaimike (多来提曼·开米克) said.

Return to TopThe draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" makes strategic deployments for "accelerating high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening and leading the development of new quality productive forces," and clearly proposes the major task of "promoting the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation." International figures interviewed by this newspaper believe that China's scientific and technological innovation achievements continue to emerge, constantly cultivating new momentum for the construction of Chinese-style modernization, and injecting surging power into promoting the common development of mankind.
"Leading the Development of New Quality Productive Forces with Scientific and Technological Innovation"
Backflips, nunchucks, Tai Chi... From the Spring Festival Gala to fashion shows, from stages to temple fairs, humanoid robots made guest appearances in Spring Festival cultural activities around the world during the Year of the Horse, winning cheers from the audience. A report recently released by the International Data Corporation (IDC), "Global Humanoid Robot Market Analysis," believes that by 2025, Chinese humanoid robot manufacturers will lead the industry's large-scale commercial use process as a whole. Denis Depoux, Global Managing Director of Roland Berger, said that from technology research and development to scenario implementation, China plays a key role in fields such as humanoid robot manufacturing. "China is a global manufacturing center and is increasingly becoming a global innovation center, which not only promotes its own development but also brings important opportunities to the world."
The draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" establishes "a significant increase in the level of scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening" as one of the main goals of economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, demonstrating China's firm determination to lead the development of new quality productive forces with scientific and technological innovation.
"China has always placed scientific and technological innovation at the core of its national strategy and has continued to promote the implementation of deployments through five-year plans, which will promote the continuous bursting of China's scientific and technological innovation vitality during the '15th Five-Year Plan' period," said Oleg Timofeev, Associate Professor at the Russian People's Friendship University. He said that China attaches importance to making innovation achievements serve the real economy, providing a continuous stream of new momentum for high-quality development.
China ranks tenth in the Global Innovation Index, and the number of global top 100 science and technology innovation clusters ranks first in the world. According to Carsten Fink, Chief Economist of the World Intellectual Property Organization, the profound reshaping of China's innovation ecosystem cannot be separated from the government's planning, sustained attention, and support for the innovation system.
Wirun Phichaiwongphakdee, Director of the Thai-Chinese "Belt and Road" Research Center, said that from the "14th Five-Year Plan" to the "15th Five-Year Plan," China drives modernization development through scientific and technological innovation and improves people's lives through technological progress. This experience is not only applicable to China but also provides inspiration for more developing countries to move towards modernization.
"China has deeply integrated scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, accelerated the transformation and application of the latest scientific and technological achievements, and created a globally competitive smart ecosystem," said Andrés Borquez, Professor at the Institute of International Studies at the University of Chile. "China's emphasis on accelerating high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening during the '15th Five-Year Plan' period not only reveals the endogenous driving force of China's development path but also reflects a long-term development judgment."
"China leads the development of new quality productive forces with scientific and technological innovation," said Kenneth Hammond, Professor at New Mexico State University in the United States. He said that China has become a leader in many innovation fields and is committed to producing the products and services that mankind needs in innovative ways, creating a more sustainable and prosperous future.
"Improving People's Livelihood Through Innovation"
The Tianwen-2 (天问二号) probe started its "star chasing" journey, the "artificial sun" broke the world record, the first domestically-produced electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier was officially commissioned, and the superconducting quantum computing prototype "Zu Chongzhi-3 (祖冲之三号)" debuted... In recent years, from basic research exploration to cutting-edge technology breakthroughs, one "first" after another shows that China is constantly climbing to the commanding heights of science and technology, contributing Chinese wisdom to expanding the world's innovation landscape.
12,000 drones floated in the night sky, and the constantly changing formations formed a dreamy three-dimensional picture. Last August, Dutch self-media blogger Sander Koer was unable to calm his excitement after watching the drone light show performance celebrating the 45th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone (深圳经济特区): "When tens of thousands of drones took off, I felt the Chinese-style 'cool' and saw the infinite vitality of innovative China."
Earlier this year, Chinese technology products received widespread attention at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, USA. Gary Shapiro, President and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the organizer of the exhibition, said that in recent years, more and more Chinese technology companies have appeared on the international stage with the latest products and solutions, indicating that China's innovation industry is full of vitality.
Lebanese journalist and writer Abd-al-Rahman Ayas believes that the overall leap in China's scientific and technological strength is due to continuous R&D investment and the continuous growth of high-quality scientific research institutions. "China attaches importance to talent cultivation, promotes innovation from laboratories to factories and markets, and encourages close cooperation between scientific research institutes and enterprises, exploring a feasible path for science and technology to spawn new quality productive forces."
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) delivering takeout food on the Yangtze River (长江) have become a unique sight, and artificial intelligence (AI) large models such as DeepSeek are "connected" to daily life... The dynamic picture of China's scientific and technological innovation continues to expand, enriching people's life experiences.
In Dalad Banner (达拉特旗), Ordos City (鄂尔多斯市), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (内蒙古自治区), located in the hinterland of the Kubuqi Desert (库布其沙漠), photovoltaic panels stand on the yellow sand, forming a "blue ocean." The three-dimensional development model of "power generation on the top, sand control on the bottom, and grass planting in between" not only changes the appearance of the desert but also brings a continuous stream of ecological, economic, and social benefits. Dai Luko, a Belgian youth who won the global championship in the 19th "Chinese Bridge" Chinese Proficiency Competition for Foreign College Students, recently visited the Dalad Photovoltaic Power Generation Application Leading Base, and the local scientific and technological innovation practices shocked him: "From clean energy to smart travel, China improves people's livelihood through innovation and provides ideas for the future development of mankind."
"Sharing Innovation Achievements and Promoting Common Development"
Establishing scientific and technological cooperation relations with more than 160 countries and regions, signing 120 intergovernmental scientific and technological cooperation agreements, and joining more than 200 international organizations and multilateral mechanisms related to science and technology... China adheres to the concept of cooperation and win-win results, actively deepens scientific and technological cooperation with various countries, advocates the construction of an open, fair, just, and non-discriminatory international scientific and technological development environment, and enables scientific and technological innovation achievements to benefit more countries and people.
China promotes technologies such as hybrid rice, mushroom cultivation, and fish farming in many parts of the world, helping local areas get rid of poverty. Xisel Masoka, Director of Multilateral Cooperation at the South African Department of Science, Technology and Innovation, said: "China advocates the inclusiveness and universality of international scientific and technological cooperation and provides assistance to Africa in developing climate-smart agriculture through mechanisms such as the Sino-African Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Alliance, helping Africa enhance food security and development resilience."
The China-Pakistan Joint Laboratory for Smart Disaster Prevention of Major Infrastructure under the "Belt and Road" has become an important platform for strengthening scientific research cooperation in disaster prevention and mitigation between the two countries.

"Through the joint laboratory project, China actively shares innovation achievements with countries along the 'Belt and Road' and promotes common development."
"China has significantly reduced technology costs through a complete industrial chain layout, creating conditions for technology inclusiveness and widespread empowerment, and also providing an encouraging solution for Southern Hemisphere countries to participate in a new round of technological changes," said James Golkin, an expert in public policy and government management at the Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services. China promotes the narrowing of the global technology gap, "enhancing more inclusive global technology development."
Park Seung-chan, Dean of the International Exchange Institute of Yongin University in South Korea and Chairman of the Korea-China Federation, said: "China actively integrates into the global innovation network, continuously expands the breadth and depth of its participation in global science and technology governance, and works with various countries to address global challenges, so that science and technology can better benefit mankind."
Return to TopThe greatness of a major country lies in considering the benefit of the world. The Chinese diplomacy, personally planned and directed by President Xi Jinping (习近平), provides the most valuable stability and certainty for the turbulent world, and has become an irreplaceable mainstay in the global chaos.
"Amidst world turbulence, China leads the future." Some international media outlets used this as the title to interpret the Two Sessions of China, believing that China is shaping its own and the world's future through the window of the Two Sessions.
Currently, the once-in-a-century changes are accelerating, with transformation and turmoil intertwined, and wars and conflicts emerging one after another. Where is human society heading? The world needs direction, confidence, and the gathering of strength. Major countries must assume greater responsibilities and play a greater role in this regard. President Xi Jinping (习近平) solemnly declared China's attitude: "Today's world faces multiple risks and challenges. The international community needs to work together to address them. Major countries should take the lead in emphasizing equality, the rule of law, cooperation, and integrity." China's voice is resounding and is precisely the voice of stability that the turbulent world expects.
Head-of-state diplomacy is the cornerstone of China's diplomacy. Since the beginning of the year, China's head-of-state diplomacy has reached a series of climaxes. On the day of Lichun (立春), the video meeting between the Chinese and Russian heads of state and the telephone call between the Chinese and American heads of state demonstrated China's active role in promoting the stable development of major-country relations. President Xi Jinping (习近平) held talks and meetings with leaders of many countries visiting China, including leaders of both Global South countries and Western countries, gathering the power of cooperation in times of turmoil. He also had cordial interactions with international friends through reply letters and other means, promoting the long-term development of people-to-people friendship. This series of major diplomatic actions vividly interprets the Chinese concept: "Faced with the accelerated evolution of the world's once-in-a-century changes, countries should stand together through thick and thin and share a common destiny." This year, President Xi Jinping (习近平) will also receive guests from all parties in China, host major home-field diplomatic events such as the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting and the Second China-Arab States Summit, and conduct several important foreign visits. The international community deeply perceives that the Chinese diplomacy personally planned and directed by President Xi Jinping (习近平) provides the most valuable stability and certainty for the turbulent world and has become an irreplaceable mainstay in the global chaos.
Maintaining peace is China's mission. Faced with the protracted crisis, China has always stood on the side of peace and justice. The Iranian situation is currently the focus of international attention. China has put forward five basic principles to create conditions for a ceasefire and cessation of hostilities, promote joint efforts by all parties, and restore order to the Middle East, peace to the people, and peace to the world. Faced with unilateral hegemonic acts that trample on international law and the basic norms of international relations, China firmly maintains that all countries should abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, consolidate the foundation of world peace and tranquility, and prevent the world from regressing to the "law of the jungle."
Promoting cooperation is where China takes the lead. Individual countries are engaged in tariff barriers and decoupling, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and will eventually backfire. China firmly supports the liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, firmly safeguards the stability and smooth flow of global production and supply chains, firmly defends the multilateral trading system with the WTO as its core, and firmly safeguards a fair and open international economic and trade order. In response to the headwinds encountered by economic globalization, China advocates addressing them through more sustainable development and more equitable and effective governance, and constantly building consensus to promote inclusive economic globalization.
Strengthening governance is what China practices. Faced with the international situation of emerging global challenges, a more prominent governance deficit, and a severe impact on multilateralism, China has proposed global governance initiatives, firmly maintained the leading role of the United Nations, and promoted the reform and improvement of the existing international system and multilateral mechanisms. The "Group of Friends of Global Governance" initiated by China has been established successively at the United Nations headquarters in New York and Geneva, and countries, especially Global South countries, have actively joined. Sovereign equality, international rule of law, multilateralism, people-centeredness, and action-orientedness – these concepts are constantly being transformed into solid actions to build a more just and reasonable global governance system.
The greatness of a major country lies in considering the benefit of the world. China is vigorously promoting the high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road," and "happiness roads" running in both directions are accelerating their extension and expansion. It is constantly expanding cooperation platforms such as the China International Import Expo (进博会), the China International Fair for Trade in Services (服贸会), and the China International Consumer Products Expo (消博会), steadily expanding institutional opening-up, not only bravely shouldering the responsibility of the "world factory" but also striving to play the opportunity of the "world market." It will soon fully implement zero tariffs on 100% of tariff items for African countries, using the "subtraction" of tariffs to promote the "addition" of trade and achieve the "multiplication" of people's livelihoods. Entering the "15th Five-Year Plan," China will continue to base itself on the intersection of the common interests of the Chinese people and the people of all countries in the world, and jointly draw a new picture of win-win cooperation with all countries.
Transformation and turmoil are intertwined, and hopes and challenges coexist. As the world's most important force for peace, stability, and justice, China is full of confidence in the future destiny of mankind and unwavering in its lofty goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind. China is willing to work with all parties to gradually turn the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind into reality and continue to write a new chapter of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win results.

4. Adhering to fairness and justice, and using high-quality justice to help high-level opening up
Resolutely safeguard the interests of the country and the people. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, a total of 159,000 foreign-related cases were concluded, an increase of 66% compared with the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, of which intellectual property and maritime cases were 49,000 and 12,000 respectively, representing year-on-year increases of 115.9% and 84.6% respectively. Firmly safeguard China's judicial sovereignty. Implement the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law to effectively counter illegal sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction." Fully exercise judicial jurisdiction. A foreign enterprise operating patents was sued for abusing its dominant market position and affecting the order of market competition in China, and an overseas listed company made false statements and damaged the interests of Chinese investors. Chinese courts applied the extraterritoriality clauses of laws such as the Anti-Monopoly Law and the Securities Law to exercise jurisdiction. Strengthen judicial protection of overseas interests. Guide "going global" enterprises to operate in accordance with the law and prevent risks. A Chinese enterprise's project built abroad has passed acceptance, and the foreign owner abused the right to claim payment and requested payment of the guarantee letter. The Beijing (北京) court ruled to suspend payment upon application, and legally prevented the transfer of commercial risks to Chinese enterprises.
Equally protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese and foreign parties. Strictly abide by the WTO principles such as national treatment to create a fair, transparent, non-discriminatory, and predictable business environment. The operating period of a Chinese-foreign joint venture company is about to expire, and the Chinese shareholder abused its voting rights to refuse to distribute profits. The Jilin (吉林) court legally protected the rights and interests of the foreign shareholder, and the shareholder expanded its investment in China and registered a new company. Equally protect the intellectual property rights of Chinese and foreign rights holders, and rule that trade secrets formed by a foreign enterprise abroad should be protected in accordance with the law; recognize the supplementary experimental data and determine that a foreign enterprise's drug patent application should be authorized. According to the World Bank's business environment assessment, the fairness and recognition of the Beijing (北京) and Shanghai (上海) courts are the best in the world.
Continuously build a preferred place for dispute resolution. Improve the foreign-related trial mechanism. Formulate opinions on the high-quality development of international commercial courts, innovate foreign-related service of process and cross-border litigation services, improve the mechanism for ascertaining foreign laws, and improve the effectiveness of foreign-related trials. The organic connection of litigation, mediation, and arbitration. Fairly and efficiently mediate foreign-related cases. After two oil tankers collided, parallel lawsuits were filed in China and another country respectively. The Chinese court facilitated a settlement between the two parties earlier and fully implemented it, demonstrating the fairness, professionalism, and efficiency of Chinese justice. Support and supervise the development of arbitration, handle 21,000 cases of judicial review of commercial arbitration, a year-on-year increase of 12.8%; and conclude 108 cases of application for recognition (recognition) and enforcement of foreign arbitration awards. Improve judicial service guarantees for the full island closure operation of the Hainan Free Trade Port. Adhere to good faith and civilized justice. Handle 6,061 international judicial assistance cases in accordance with the law and agreements, a year-on-year increase of 7.4%, and the average time for assisting in the service of civil and commercial documents was shortened by 12 days. Based on international treaties or the principle of reciprocity, 972 foreign judgments were recognized and enforced in accordance with the law, a year-on-year increase of 2 times. China's civil and commercial judgments have also been recognized and enforced by more and more countries.
Actively participate in global governance. China's judicial practice has promoted the innovation of the international trade system. The United Nations Convention on Transferable Documents was reviewed and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, promoting the facilitation of cross-border multimodal transport and trade financing involving China-Europe freight trains and the "Belt and Road" initiative. The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, the United Nations Environment Programme, and the World Intellectual Property Organization have included 210 typical cases of Chinese courts. Promote exchanges and mutual learning of legal civilizations, and promote the practice of the four major global initiatives based on justice.
5. Adhering to fairness and justice, and regulating the operation of judicial power
Strengthen the political construction of the people's courts. Systematically summarize Xi Jinping (习近平)'s thoughts on the rule of law in judicial practice, compile nationally unified teaching materials for training judges, and help cadres and police in courts across the country strengthen the foundation of theory and solve practical problems. Solidly carry out in-depth study and education on thoroughly implementing the spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulation, and strengthen Party spirit, style, and discipline in an integrated manner. Carry out in-depth learning activities from role models such as Ding Yuxiang (丁宇翔), Bian Xiaobin (边晓斌), and Wang Jiajia (王佳佳) to encourage the majority of court cadres and police to faithfully perform their duties and take responsibility. 13 judicial personnel performed their duties faithfully and dedicated their precious lives to the Party and the people's judicial cause.
Strengthen trial supervision and management. Implement and improve the judicial responsibility system. Presidents and chief judges of courts and divisions took the lead in handling difficult cases and reviewed 14.163 million cases. Strengthen the demonstration and guidance of typical case judgments. Higher-level courts tried 3,200 cases at a higher level, a year-on-year increase of 8.5%. The Supreme People's Court issued 15 judicial interpretations, 20 guiding cases, and 101 batches of 641 typical cases. The case database of the people's courts has included more than 5,300 cases, which has effectively promoted the unification of judgment standards. The quality and efficiency of trials continued to improve, the "case-to-item ratio" decreased by 0.07, and the appeal rate and the rate of application for retrial decreased by 2.4 and 0.6 percentage points respectively, reducing more than 2.2 million derivative cases.

Give full play to the advantages of network connectivity and unified rules, coordinate the handling of related cases in different places, identify and correct false litigation, and implement full-process supervision in every case. Steadily and prudently develop an artificial intelligence-assisted trial system, adhere to the "auxiliary" positioning, and the subject of judicial responsibility can only be a judge.
Deeply promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and the courts. Party groups at all levels of courts earnestly fulfill their political responsibilities and main responsibilities, and consciously accept the supervision of discipline inspection and supervision commissions and their dispatched agencies. Conduct judicial inspections and special judicial supervision of 8 higher people's courts. Implement the judge punishment system. Regulate the management of departing personnel. Strictly implement the "three regulations" to prevent interference in justice. Severely punish judicial corruption with zero tolerance.
Comprehensively strengthen the foundation at the grassroots level. Coordinate the allocation and use of 1,353 special political and legal establishment quotas, and replenish limited resources to the grassroots frontline with the heaviest trial tasks. Regulate the employment of retired judges to engage in mediation work. More than 3,700 retired judges have contributed "silver hair strength" to resolving conflicts and disputes. The second batch of relatively weak grassroots courts "get rid of weakness" and become stronger, and 100 "Fengqiao-style People's Courts" (枫桥式人民法庭) serve as demonstration and guidance.

Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah (杰拉赫) briefed on the latest developments in the regional situation, stating that Kuwait is not a party to the war, but is still affected by the conflict. The Gulf countries, including Kuwait, remain committed to resolving disputes through dialogue, but will not give up their legitimate right to self-defense. The Kuwaiti side highly appreciates China's position and efforts, and is willing to strengthen communication and coordination with China to jointly promote the early restoration of security and stability in the region. Kuwait attaches great importance to and will continue to protect the safety of Chinese personnel and institutions.
Wang Yi (王毅) stated that China has always advocated resolving disputes through political and diplomatic means, and the current war is one that should not have happened and is a war that is not beneficial to any party. The United States and Israel launched a military attack on Iran without authorization from the United Nations, while Iran-U.S. negotiations were still ongoing, which is a clear violation of international law. At the same time, the sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of the Gulf countries should also be fully respected, and any attacks on innocent civilians and non-military targets should be condemned. The top priority is to cease fire and end the war as soon as possible. The Gulf countries have been calling for dialogue and negotiation, and China appreciates this. China will continue to make efforts to strive for peace. The Chinese government's special envoy for Middle East affairs has already gone to the region to mediate and will strengthen communication and exchanges with Kuwait and other countries. We hope and believe that Kuwait will safeguard the safety of Chinese institutions and personnel in Kuwait.

The abstract of the report is as follows:
In accordance with the requirements of the "Legislative Plan of the 14th National People's Congress Standing Committee" and the work deployment of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (全国人大常委会) in 2025, the Legislative Affairs Commission of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (常委会法工委) (hereinafter referred to as "the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee") carried out the work of legal cleanup and drafted the "Report on the Work of Legal Cleanup and Opinions on the Handling of Relevant Laws and Decisions by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress." In February 2026, the 21st meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会常务委员会) deliberated on this report and decided to submit it to the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) for deliberation. The report on the work of legal cleanup and opinions on the handling of relevant laws and decisions are now reported as follows:
I. The Significance of Legal Cleanup
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core has attached great importance to the role of law in governing the country, placing legislative work in an important position in comprehensively governing the country according to law, making a series of important decisions and deployments, and leading legislative work to achieve historic achievements. The National People's Congress (全国人大) and its Standing Committee have thoroughly promoted scientific legislation, democratic legislation, and legislation according to law, coordinating legislation, revision, repeal, interpretation, and compilation, strengthening legislation in key areas, emerging areas, and foreign-related areas, improving the legal system necessary for national governance and meeting the people's growing needs for a better life, and promoting the continuous improvement, unification, and authority of the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics with the Constitution at its core. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed the goal of promoting "a more complete socialist rule of law system with Chinese characteristics and achieving a higher level of building a socialist rule of law country," and made arrangements for deepening reforms in the legislative field. In response to some inconsistencies and uncoordinated situations within the legal system, in-depth legal cleanup is conducive to promoting legislative work to keep pace with the times, building a higher-level socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics, and providing legal guarantees for further comprehensively deepening reforms and promoting Chinese-style modernization.
II. Overall Considerations for Legal Cleanup
This legal cleanup work adheres to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, thoroughly implements the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the plenary sessions of the 20th Central Committee, fully implements Xi Jinping's thought on the rule of law, takes the Constitution as the fundamental basis, adheres to the principles of problem-oriented, comprehensive review, respect for history, classified policies, and precise handling, focusing on solving the validity issues of relevant laws, legal interpretations, and decisions on relevant legal issues (including decisions, resolutions, measures, plans, etc. involving the implementation of laws) that cannot adapt to the new situation and new needs and affect the internal coordination and unity of the legal system, and further enhances the systematicness, integrity, coordination, and timeliness of legislation.
This legal cleanup work does not involve the modification and improvement of laws; laws that do need to be modified and improved can be resolved through legal amendment procedures, including comprehensive revision, partial modification, and package modification.
III. Relevant Work on Legal Cleanup
In accordance with the work deployment of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (全国人大常委会), the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee (常委会法工委) researched and drafted the "Work Plan for Carrying Out Legal Cleanup," which was submitted to the leading comrades of the Standing Committee for approval, and the legal cleanup work was launched in April 2025. The General Office of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (全国人大常委会办公厅) issued the "Notice on Carrying Out Legal Cleanup Work" to the special committees of the National People's Congress (全国人大), the relevant working bodies of the Standing Committee, the General Office of the State Council (国务院办公厅), the General Office of the National Supervisory Commission (国家监委办公厅), the General Office of the Supreme People's Court (最高人民法院办公厅), the General Office of the Supreme People's Procuratorate (最高人民检察院办公厅), and the General Office of the Central Military Commission (中央军委办公厅), requesting each unit to conduct research and propose cleanup opinions based on their respective responsibilities. The cleanup suggestions proposed by various units involved 4 laws, 2 legal interpretations, and 68 decisions on relevant legal issues.

"The sky is bluer, the water is greener, and the people are healthier and live longer," "The once-isolated mountain village has shaken off poverty and become a model village for ethnic unity and progress"... Since the opening of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (两会), many deputies and members have shared the development changes they have personally experienced. The speakers are proud, and the listeners are equally excited.
This resonance is because such changes are not "stories from afar" but "daily life around us."
Think about it, in the past, ID cards, mobile phones, keys, and wallets were indispensable when going out, but now you can travel in all directions with just a mobile phone. A few years ago, drones, humanoid robots, and other things were still beautiful fantasies in science fiction works, but now they have stepped onto the streets, into factories, and into homes.
Change is like a deep, silent stream; being in it, one often "uses it daily without realizing it" (日用而不觉 (rì yòng ér bù jué - "use daily without realizing," to be accustomed to something and not notice its significance)), and only when looking back does one realize that "the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains" (轻舟已过万重山 (qīng zhōu yǐ guò wàn chóng shān - "light boat has passed ten thousand mountains," a metaphor for overcoming difficulties and moving forward smoothly)). The "unawareness" and "realization" reflect the rapid changes in national development and reveal the progress code of daily effort and long-term dedication.
In Fengjie County (奉节县), Chongqing (重庆), the coal industry once contributed about 50% of the county's regional GDP. How could they bear to shut it down?
Find a way out from the ideology. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Developing rural characteristic industries is the foundation for promoting the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside. We must strengthen technological applications, promote the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism, continuously extend the industrial chain, increase added value, and drive more farmers to increase their income and become rich."
From introducing and cultivating new varieties to promoting ecological prevention and control, and then to innovating "hanging tree preservation" technology, technology has become the "sweet code" of the fruit.
From selling fresh fruit to selling refined and deeply processed products, and then to developing rural tourism to "sell scenery," industry has become the "happiness code" of the villagers.
Fengjie (奉节) planted 383,000 mu of navel oranges, bringing in a comprehensive output value of over 6.5 billion yuan. Calculating the big picture, planning for the long term, resisting the temptation of short-term interests, and enduring the pain of transformation, development will surely open up new horizons.
Change also has its rhythm. Half a year ago, people were still hotly discussing humanoid robots falling from time to time. On the stage of the Lunar New Year Gala (春晚), humanoid robots were already calmly performing drunken boxing.
From "the past" to "a few years ago" to "half a year ago," the compression of the time scale records the acceleration of development.
From overtaking in the curve with new energy vehicles to摘取造船业"摘取造船业“三大明珠” (zhāi qǔ zào chuán yè "sān dà míng zhū" - "摘取造船业“三大明珠”," literally "plucking the three pearls of shipbuilding," refers to mastering the core technologies of shipbuilding: LNG carriers, large cruise ships, and aircraft carriers); from DeepSeek's (深度求索) sudden emergence to the world's largest download volume of open-source large models... In more and more fields, we have gone from following to running alongside, and even leading.
At the first "Members' Passage," Zeng Yuqun (曾毓群), a member from CATL (宁德时代), talked about why China's new energy industry can rise so rapidly: "For more than 20 years, the country has continuously introduced policies to encourage the development of renewable energy. This strategic focus has given all companies and practitioners in this industry a 'compass'."
The acceleration of development stems from the foresight of the strategy. "Putting innovation at the core of the country's overall development," "We must arrange the industrial chain around the development of new quality productive forces," "Accelerate the advancement of strategic emerging industries such as the digital economy, intelligent manufacturing, life and health, and new materials"... It is precisely because a series of important deployments have seen far, planned early, and made accurate moves that we can unite our efforts and run forward unremittingly.
The test questions of the times are constantly emerging. When participating in the deliberation of the Jiangsu (江苏) delegation, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "To complete the goals and tasks of the '15th Five-Year Plan' for economic and social development, we need to deal with a more complex environment and solve more deep-seated contradictions." Consciously acting under the overall situation, combining good planning and execution, and enhancing the predictability and creativity of our work, we can seize the initiative and deliver more surprising development answers in studying new situations and solving new problems.
During the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (党的二十届四中全会), a participating comrade exclaimed: "Back then, we called for 'for the motherland, for the four modernizations' (为祖国，为四化), and we felt that modernization was still far away. Now, looking at it, modernization is right in front of us!" Seizing this time window of building on the past and opening up the future, and taking action, we are witnessing history, and we are creating history.

In March, the wind is gentle, and the sun is warm.
In the community, the old banyan tree has deep roots and lush foliage, providing a green canopy.
Panlong Community (蟠龙社区) in Liangqing District (良庆区), Nanning City (南宁市), Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (广西壮族自治区) is a multi-ethnic community. Residents of 15 ethnic groups, including Han, Zhuang, Yao, and Miao, under the leadership of the Party organization, are as closely united as pomegranate seeds, like banyan trees with interconnected branches, embedded and integrated with each other, as close as a family.
Listening to the Party and following the Party's lead, Panlong Community has written the consolidation of the sense of community of the Chinese nation into the residents' code of conduct.
Walking into the community Party and Mass Service Center, the service hall, the People's Congress Representative Liaison Station, the Comprehensive Management Center, and other functional areas are convenient and practical for the people. The community Party committee promotes a grid governance model, weaving together 192 micro-grids, with people's livelihood matters "ordered" by residents, "received" by the community, and "taken" by Party organizations and members of co-construction units. In the past two years, the community has cumulatively resolved over a thousand requests from the masses, with a completion rate exceeding 95%.
Grid member Wei Lina (韦丽娜) said, "If residents have needs, they are recorded in the 'People's Sentiment Notebook,' and if it can be done, it is done immediately!"
"The community helped the children of families in difficulty to build good demand files, which is heartwarming!" Resident Teng Qitian (滕棋添) said with a smile.
"The Zhuang people are born to love singing, singing here and echoing there..." In the cultural and sports activity room of the Panlong Community Party and Mass Service Center, under the large characters "Love My China," neighbors sit in a circle, singing heartily.
"Everyone sings the same song, you sing and I echo, the more we sing, the closer we get." He Jirong (何继荣), 77-year-old deputy head of the Panlong Community Harbor Art Troupe, said that she is Han Chinese, and her husband is Mulao. Initially, the couple and several neighbors practiced singing under the big banyan tree by the Yong River (邕江). After the community learned about it, they vacated the activity room and added sound equipment for everyone to use.
In recent years, the community has continuously improved public services and built the Tongxin (同心) Small Square, cultural and sports activity rooms, etc. Residents spend festivals together by making Tangyuan for the Lantern Festival, Zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival, and mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the rehearsal hall, one can often hear melodious flute sounds, deep drum sounds, and melodious zither sounds... Neighbors work together with one heart, and life is getting better and better.
On March 5th, the "Pan Nuan Linli" (蟠暖邻里) Public Welfare Fair opened, and each stall was full of warmth. Here, there were free dental clinics, health consultations, and chronic disease guidance; there, there were free haircuts, mobile phone screen protectors, and appliance repairs.
"As we get older, our teeth are not good, and the doctor taught us how to protect our teeth, which is very considerate!" Xie Xinmin (谢新民), a 68-year-old man, praised the dental clinic.
Liang Keyi (梁可艺), who has participated in 12 free haircut events, said, "It's worth it to be able to give residents haircuts nearby, no matter how tired I am!"
This was the community's thirty-seventh public welfare fair, with volunteers from more than 10 units serving residents that day.
From offline public welfare fairs to online "Friendly Neighbor Help Groups," from the heartwarming stoves of the elderly canteen to the happy workshops of early childhood education classes, the "Old Friends Council," the "Pan Nuan Linli Yijiaqin" (蟠暖邻里一家亲) community brand... the "small family" is full of vitality, the "big family" is thriving, and people of all ethnic groups live, learn, build, share, work, and enjoy life together in Panlong Community.
Liu Yanlin (刘雁琳), Secretary of the Community Party Committee, said, "This year, we will create an age-friendly classroom and deeply cultivate the 'Community School' cultural IP to make the 'unity flower' bloom even more brilliantly."
"Mountain songs accompany wine drinking, spring, summer, autumn, and winter are all happy, hai liao liao luo..." The singing is cheerful, and the old banyan tree in Panlong Community is becoming more and more lush—
Roots are deeply rooted in the soil, and branches and leaves share the same sky.

In October 2025, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (全国人大常委会) initially deliberated the draft Law on Prosecutorial Public Interest Litigation. The Supreme People's Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) actively cooperated to promote the legalization of Xi Jinping's (习近平) thought on the rule of law in the field of public interest protection.
Carry out prosecutorial investigation according to law. 1,372 people were investigated for crimes such as徇私枉法 (xùn sī wǎng fǎ - "bending the law for personal gain," to pervert justice for a bribe), abuse of power, and extorting confessions by torture committed by judicial personnel using their powers, punishing judicial corruption. For major criminal cases committed by state organ personnel under the jurisdiction of public security organs using their powers, if it is indeed necessary for the procuratorial organs to directly accept them, 69 cases were investigated according to law.

Strengthen the restriction and supervision of the operation of procuratorial power, standardize the operation of power, and ensure strict performance of duties according to law and fair justice.
Actively and proactively accept supervision by the People's Congress. A special report was submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (全国人大常委会) on the supervision of criminal execution, and the deliberation opinions were conscientiously implemented. 1,625 deputies to the National People's Congress (全国人大代表) were invited to inspect procuratorial work and participate in procuratorial activities, and 2,257 deputies to the National People's Congress (全国人大代表) were visited. 213 written suggestions put forward by deputies to the National People's Congress (全国人大代表) during the conference, and 4,011 opinions and suggestions put forward during deliberation reports, inspections, and investigations were all conscientiously handled, answered, and fed back.

VI. Take the Party's political construction as the guide and earnestly strengthen the construction of an excellent procuratorial team

Deepen the comprehensive supporting reform of the judicial system. Carry out special inspections on the implementation and improvement of the judicial responsibility system, and promote the construction of a full-chain responsibility system. Strengthen the responsibility of leading cadres in handling cases. Procurators-general and deputy procurators-general of procuratorates at all levels directly handled 543,000 cases and attended meetings of court adjudication committees 13,000 times.

We are soberly aware that there are still considerable gaps in procuratorial work: the arming of the Party's innovative theory needs to be further strengthened, the effectiveness of serving high-quality economic and social development is still lacking, the accuracy, intensity, and depth of legal supervision need to be strengthened, the professional quality and ability of the procuratorial team still have gaps, and the implementation and improvement of the judicial responsibility system are not in place.

On March 5, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized while participating in the deliberation of the Jiangsu (江苏) delegation: "We must conscientiously organize and carry out study and education on establishing and practicing a correct view of performance, guide the vast number of party members and cadres to implement the general requirements of 'serving the party for the public, benefiting the people, making scientific decisions, and working hard,' and create achievements that can stand the test of practice, the people, and history."
Discussing planning, seeking development, and talking about people's livelihood cannot be separated from establishing and practicing a correct view of performance. In recent days, this has become the consensus of representatives, members of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国两会), and the vast number of cadres and the masses.
How can party members and cadres implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important speech, be brave in taking responsibility, be good at doing things, and ensure a good start and a good step for the "15th Five-Year Plan"? The reporter conducted interviews on this.
Do more things that lay the foundation and benefit the long term.
The fundamental way to establish performance is to combine the immediate and long-term interests of the people. Party members and cadres must not only focus on the present but also look to the future, do more practical things with their heads down, create "latent achievements" that benefit future generations, and not seek quick successes and instant benefits.
"When Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) worked in Zhengding (正定), Hebei (河北), he was good at governing for the people, seeking truth and being pragmatic, being brave in taking responsibility, and making long-term efforts, which set a brilliant example for party members and cadres in the new era to start businesses." Yang Weikun (杨伟坤), a representative and president of Hebei Finance University (河北金融学院), said, "We must seek truth and be pragmatic, work hard, adhere to 'drawing a blueprint to the end,' run education that satisfies the people, and cultivate more outstanding talents for the party and the country."
In the bright spring, egrets fly and plants flourish on the banks of Yundang Lake (筼筜湖) in Xiamen (厦门), Fujian (福建).
It is hard to imagine that decades ago, this was still a "stinky lake" with sewage flowing and fish and shrimp extinct. "Yundang Lake (筜湖) is so clean and beautiful now, thanks to the General Secretary. Without the in-depth management of that year, there would be no beautiful environment today." Lin Danling (林丹玲), a resident of Hubin Community (湖滨社区), Kaiyuan Street (开元街道), Siming District (思明区), Xiamen (厦门), said that she hopes that leaders and cadres will continue to respond to the concerns of the people when thinking about problems, making decisions, and doing things, and do more practical things that the people applaud.
In August 2006, Xi Jinping (习近平), then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee (浙江省委书记), went to Changxing County (长兴县), Huzhou (湖州), Zhejiang (浙江) for investigation and research, and told local cadres to "protect the ecology of Huzhou (湖州) and build South Taihu Lake (南太湖) well." Bearing this in mind, the cadres and masses of Changxing (长兴) have laid two long-term "foundations" - an ecological foundation and a transformation foundation. Now, in the land of Zhijiang (之江), including Changxing (长兴), the environment is beautiful, and the people's wallets are more bulging.
Shen Yanji (沈燕姬), a villager in Xiaochenzhu Village (小沉渎村), Changxing County (长兴县), personally felt the improvement of the local ecological environment and the gradual improvement of the people's living standards. "Grassroots cadres have improved the rural environment and improved the appearance of the Loushui Port (溇港) . The ecology of the village is beautiful, and we have also found a way to enrich the people through cultural tourism." Shen Yanji (沈燕姬) said, "I hope that the cadres will continue to follow the direction guided by the General Secretary, lay a more solid foundation for ecological protection, industrial transformation, and people's livelihood security, and make our lives better and better."
Caoyang New Village (曹杨新村) in Putuo District (普陀区), Shanghai (上海) is the first workers' new village in New China. During the renovation and reconstruction, the local area faced a choice: whether to only renovate the houses or to renovate the public space together. If only the houses are renovated, it will take effect quickly, but the problems will come back in a few years. In the end, the local area chose a more difficult path: to promote the renovation of public service facilities simultaneously. The project cycle is longer, but the quality of life of residents has been significantly improved after the renovation.
"To produce performance for the people requires leading cadres to jump out of short-term interests, focus on the long-term, and truly be responsible to the people," said Xu Chunhui (许春辉), secretary of the Party Working Committee of Caoyang New Village Street (曹杨新村街道).
Adhere to scientific decision-making, democratic decision-making, and law-based decision-making.
Establishing and practicing a correct view of performance, scientific decision-making, democratic decision-making, and law-based decision-making are inherent requirements. Major decisions must be strictly in accordance with procedures, fully promote democracy, widely listen to opinions and suggestions, and achieve 兼听则明 (jiān tīng zé míng - "listen to both sides and you will be enlightened," listening to both sides of an issue leads to clarity and informed decisions).
"Adhering to starting from reality and acting in accordance with the laws is the basis and prerequisite for practicing a correct view of performance." Zheng Yali (郑亚莉), vice president of Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics (浙江财经大学), said that correct decisions cannot be produced by sitting in the office and thinking hard. "Cadres who are in charge of leadership must have the determination to look down and the spirit of being a primary school student before making decisions on major issues, and conduct field research."
"To establish and practice a correct view of performance, we must adhere to handling affairs in accordance with laws and policies, and eliminate short-term behavior and blind decision-making." Pan Guoqiang (潘国强), Deputy Secretary of the Ningde Municipal Party Committee (宁德市委) and Mayor of Ningde (宁德), Fujian (福建), said, "This year, Ningde City (宁德市) will take the construction of a government under the rule of law as the starting point, improve the normalized law-learning mechanism, strictly implement the procedures for major administrative decisions, improve the ability to use the thinking and methods of the rule of law to promote work, and serve and guarantee high-quality development with a high level of rule of law."
"In-depth research is the 'golden key' to practicing a correct view of performance and breaking down development obstacles." Ma Yangbiao (马扬飚), Deputy Director of the Science Park Management Committee of Hebei Xiong'an New Area (河北雄安新区), said that Xi Jinping (习近平) went deep into the grassroots and asked the people for advice during his work in Hebei (河北), using "true research" to solve development problems, which pointed out the direction for us to base ourselves on our positions and start businesses.
For a long time, Ma Yangbiao (马扬飚) and his colleagues have adhered to sinking to the front line, regularly visiting and listening to needs, accurately locating the service focus and policy optimization points from the urgent needs of innovation entities, and unblocking the blockages in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. "We will continue to promote the pre-research of important projects, public technology platforms, and pilot test bases to promote the high-quality development of Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区)," said Ma Yangbiao (马扬飚).
"After the barrier-free facilities are built, we must let our disabled people experience it first: wheelchairs run through the passages, blind people walk through the sidewalks, and the toilets should also be tried by disabled people." Wang Sen (王森), a Shanghai (上海) citizen with a leg disability, made a suggestion when soliciting opinions on Shanghai's (上海) "15th Five-Year Plan."
"I didn't expect that this suggestion was later incorporated into the plan, and the city proposed to improve the acceptance management mechanism for barrier-free facilities. This made me feel the changes brought about by democratic decision-making." Wang Sen (王森) said, "When Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) worked in Shanghai (上海), he attached great importance to listening to the voices of the masses, and many decisions came from grassroots research and the opinions of the masses. I hope that Shanghai's (上海) urban construction will be more refined, so that barrier-free facilities can truly facilitate everyone in need."
Grasp implementation with the spirit of nailing nails.
The great road is simple, and practice is the key.
Li Zhenfu (李贞福), who is 80 years old this year, lives in Zhengding County (正定县), Hebei (河北). Recalling the scene of Zhengding (正定) carrying out cultural relic protection and developing tourism more than 40 years ago, he still remembers it clearly: "When Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) worked in Zhengding (正定), he repaired Longxing Temple (隆兴寺) and built Rongguo Mansion (荣国府), which laid a solid foundation for Zhengding (正定) to carry out ancient city protection and develop cultural tourism." Today, the ancient city with a thousand years of history is full of vitality, and Zhengding's (正定) cultural tourism is booming.
"Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) practiced 'say one thing, do one thing; do one thing, accomplish one thing' with his words and deeds. This good style is a valuable spiritual wealth for party members and cadres," said Li Zhenfu (李贞福).
With mud on your feet, you can have a bottom in your heart. In the opinion of Zhang Yimin (张义民), Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Lusheng Village (芦胜村), Pujin Street (浦锦街道), Minhang District (闵行区), Shanghai (上海), to grasp implementation is to do every small thing carefully and solidly.
Last year, a peach forest in the village was mistakenly identified as vegetable land due to satellite imagery and faced clearing. This worried Zhang Yimin (张义民). He flipped through the materials and ran to the departments, and finally promoted the relevant departments to re-verify and "correct the name" for the 15 acres of peach forest.
"There is no shortcut to rural revitalization, we can only knock one hammer after another. As long as it is beneficial to the masses, it must be done no matter how difficult it is," said Zhang Yimin (张义民).
"During his work in Fuzhou (福州), Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) personally presided over the preparation of the '3820' strategic project, drew a blueprint for building a modern international city, and vigorously advocated excellent styles such as 'immediate action and hard work,' leading Fuzhou (福州) to achieve leapfrog development." Wu Xiande (吴贤德), Mayor of Fuzhou (福州), Fujian (福建), said, "Performance must be created through hard work. During the '15th Five-Year Plan' period, we will firmly establish and practice a correct view of performance, adhere to the essence of the '3820' strategic project, work hard and take responsibility, and make long-term efforts to accelerate the construction of a modern international city, so that the 'blessed state' can better benefit the people."
The blueprint has been drawn, and the focus is on implementation. Yang Xiaokai (杨晓开), member of the Standing Committee of the Yongkang Municipal Party Committee (永康市委) and Minister of the Organization Department, said that we must focus on the word "implementation" and unswervingly promote the implementation of work arrangements.
"We will guide the grassroots party organizations, party members, and cadres of villages and communities to adhere to the principle of achieving practical results through hard work, put all their minds on starting businesses, put all their energy on grasping implementation, and focus on deeply exploring advantageous resources and planning characteristic projects." Yang Xiaokai (杨晓开) said that party members and cadres must truly write the eight characters of "being an official for one term and benefiting one party" on the ridges of the fields.

Return to TopThe more effective the Party's governance, the stronger the guarantee for economic and social development. We must conscientiously organize and carry out study and education on establishing and practicing a correct view of performance, guide the vast number of Party members and cadres to implement the general requirements of "ruling the Party for the public, benefiting the people, making scientific decisions, and working hard," and create achievements that can withstand the test of practice, the people, and history.
-- Xi Jinping (习近平), General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized this when participating in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation at the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress.
This year is the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan." How can we start well and take the first step well?
To start a business and achieve something, a correct view of performance is crucial. In recent days, deputies and members have insisted on combining the study and understanding of the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during the Two Sessions with the study and understanding of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on establishing and practicing a correct view of performance, and with the study and understanding of General Secretary Xi Jinping's vivid practice of adhering to a correct view of performance during his work in various localities, so as to continuously enhance their political consciousness, ideological consciousness, and action consciousness of achieving performance for the people and achieving performance through hard work. This newspaper interviewed several deputies and members to ask them to talk about their experiences and responsibilities.

Ruling the Party for the Public
Think about the overall situation in everything
By Ji Juesu (季觉苏) and Cui Yin (崔寅), reporters of this newspaper
"The issue of the view of performance is a fundamental issue, which concerns ruling the Party for the public and governing for the people."
In the view of Yin Hairong (印海蓉), a deputy to the National People's Congress and host (chief) of the converged media center of Shanghai Media Group (上海广播电视台、上海文化广播影视集团有限公司融媒体中心), this sentence is not abstract. Over the years, she has used her camera to record the development and changes of Shanghai (上海), witnessing how "ruling the Party for the public" has taken root in the details of urban governance.
"After Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平同志) came to work in Shanghai (上海) in 2007, he traveled all over the districts and counties, and kept the people's food, clothing, housing, and transportation in mind. This has deeply influenced Shanghai's (上海) urban governance." Deputy Yin Hairong (印海蓉) said that elevators have been installed in old residential areas, and community elderly care service stations have become more and more densely distributed. "I deeply feel that urban development has thousands of threads, but in the end, it must fall on 'people'. Making people's lives more convenient and more secure is the warmth of ruling the Party for the public."
Ruling the Party for the public means that Party members and cadres must serve the people wholeheartedly. In the view of Yang Zhenbin (杨振斌), a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Secretary of the Party Committee of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (上海交通大学), "Party members and cadres should often examine themselves to see whether they have deviated from the Party's line, principles, and policies and the Party Central Committee's major decisions and deployments, and whether they have deviated from the fundamental interests of the broad masses of the people."
Member Yang Zhenbin (杨振斌) mentioned that during his work in Shanghai (上海), Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平同志) went deep into universities and research institutions for investigation and research many times, emphasizing the need to strive to find a new way to promote economic and social development by relying on scientific and technological progress. "Our school has a 'Huang Danian-style (黄大年式) teacher team' that specializes in key material technologies. They always have in mind what the country needs and how much further they can advance. Putting personal pursuits in the overall situation is public-mindedness." Member Yang Zhenbin (杨振斌) said.
In actual work, "ruling the Party for the public" is often reflected in trade-offs. Chongming Island (崇明岛) is an important ecological barrier at the mouth of the Yangtze River (长江). Li Jun (李峻), a deputy to the National People's Congress and Secretary of the Chongming District Committee of Shanghai (上海市崇明区委), still has a deep impression: Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平同志) once conducted on-the-spot investigations on the construction of Chongming (崇明) ecological island, and proposed to take clear water, clean air, lush forests, clean soil, and a pleasant environment as the development goals of Chongming (崇明), emphasizing that "as long as you recognize the direction, don't waver."
Over the years, Chongming (崇明) has faced choices time and time again. "No matter how good the economic benefits of a project are, as long as it conflicts with the ecological red line, it must be adjusted." Deputy Li Jun (李峻) said that there was hesitation in withdrawing projects, controlling development, and protecting wetlands, but when he thought of "success does not have to be achieved by me, but success must have me," he knew that this road must be taken. Today, the wetland protection rate of Chongming (崇明) exceeds 68%, making it an important stopover for migratory birds and a "poetry and distance" that citizens yearn for.
What is public-mindedness? In the view of Deputy Li Jun (李峻), "It is to think about everything, whether it is beneficial to the overall work of the Party and the country, and whether it is accountable to future generations. Always have the overall situation in mind, and there will be a direction under your feet."
Benefiting the People
Erect a monument in the hearts of the people
By Qi Yukun (亓玉昆) and Liu Junguo (刘军国), reporters of this newspaper
For whom should performance be established? This is a question that every Party member and cadre must answer.
In March, the spring breeze in Zhejiang (浙江) carries warmth, and the continuous wheat fields are spread out like emeralds, with each ridge and acre carrying the well-being of the people. Over the years, the "Thousand Villages Demonstration, Ten Thousand Villages Renovation" ("千万工程") has continued to advance in depth, changing the face of the countryside and improving the lives of the people.
"The performance of Communists is to do things that win people's hearts, warm people's hearts, and stabilize people's hearts." Xing Zhihong (邢志宏), a deputy to the National People's Congress and Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Department of Natural Resources of Zhejiang Province (浙江省自然资源厅), has a fresh memory of this sentence in *Zhejiang Xin Yu* (*之江新语*).
Deputy Xing Zhihong (邢志宏) said: "We always take benefiting the people as the fundamental value orientation, and in response to problems such as the overall low quality of cultivated land and the interlaced and misplaced 'multiple fields,' we have explored a governance path of 'cultivated land - permanent basic farmland - high-standard farmland - grain production functional area' with spatial layers nested on top of each other. On this road, there is not only the growth of crops, but also the continuous improvement of the people's sense of gain - ecological beauty, economic strength, and people's wealth."
Performance has "potential" and "obvious" distinctions, but the heart for the people cannot have "false" and "floating" distinctions.
In September 2006, students at Zhejiang University (浙江大学) listened to a report on the situation and policies, and the speaker was Xi Jinping (习近平同志), then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee. To this day, Ren Shaobo (任少波), a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Secretary of the Party Committee of Zhejiang University (浙江大学), still often talks about that class.
"The performance in the field of education is not a short-term accumulation of numbers, but a long-term moral education." Member Ren Shaobo (任少波) said that it is necessary to focus on the fundamental issues of "who to train, how to train, and for whom to train," run education that the people are satisfied with, and train batches of pillars of talent that can be of great use.
The effectiveness of performance ultimately depends on whether the masses get real benefits and whether the masses are satisfied.
Community Party-mass service centers with eye-catching signs are embedded in street corners, digital screens are dynamically displaying people's livelihood data in real time, and groups of "red vests" shuttle through the streets and alleys to mediate disputes... A picture blending the charm of Jiangnan (江南) and modern intelligent governance is unfolding in Shaoxing (绍兴), Zhejiang (浙江).
In 2003, Xi Jinping (习近平同志), then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, put forward clear requirements for continuously innovating the "Fengqiao Experience" ("枫桥经验").
"The reason why the 'Fengqiao Experience' ("枫桥经验") in the new era is enduring and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is that it is key to sincerely do practical things and solve difficult problems for the masses." Shi Huifang (施惠芳), a deputy to the National People's Congress and Secretary of the Shaoxing Municipal Party Committee (绍兴市委), said, "We must consider issues more from the people's standpoint and better meet the needs of the masses in employment, education, social security, housing, medical care, etc., and erect a monument in the hearts of the people."
Scientific Decision-Making
Proceed from reality and act according to the laws
By Wang Hao (王浩) and Zhong Ziwei (钟自炜), reporters of this newspaper
Adhering to proceeding from reality in everything is the starting point and foothold for us to think about problems, make decisions, and do things. The science and technology commissioner system, the "Jinjiang Experience" ("晋江经验"), the Sanming medical reform (三明医改)... A series of reform and innovation experiences originating from Fujian (福建) have spread to the whole country, behind which are scientific decision-making time and time again.
Scientific decision-making requires combining with reality, adapting to local conditions, and consciously acting according to the laws.
Changting County (长汀县) in Longyan (龙岩) was once "barren mountains, turbid water, thin fields, and poor people." In November 1999, Xi Jinping (习近平同志) made a special trip to Changting (长汀) and said earnestly: "We must persevere, plan as a whole, and strive for the support of the state, province, and city for 8 to 10 years to complete land consolidation and benefit the people." After a long period of hard work and systematic governance, the barren mountains are now full of green.
"'Perseverance' and 'overall planning' - are precisely the scientific attitude based on reality and in line with nature." In the view of Hu Sheng (胡盛), a deputy to the National People's Congress and Secretary of the Longyan Municipal Party Committee (龙岩市委), "Only when all work conforms to the scientific spirit can it be grasped in a practical way and implemented in a practical way. Today, Longyan (龙岩) is based on the regional characteristics of old revolutionary areas, agricultural areas, forest areas, mining areas, and tourist areas, and the high-quality development of developing 'mining +', 'red +' and other formats is constantly bursting with new vitality."
Scientific decision-making requires adhering to the unity of top-level design and grassroots exploration.
Sanming medical reform (三明医改) explores how to solve the complex "interest equation." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平总书记) affirmed it, "The direction of Sanming medical reform (三明医改) is correct and the effect is obvious, and attention should be paid to promotion."
"As long as it conforms to the general policy, conforms to the grassroots reality, and conforms to the interests of the masses, we must dare to break through, dare to try, and resolutely do it." Li Chun (李春), a deputy to the National People's Congress and Secretary of the Sanming Municipal Party Committee (三明市委), said that he will consolidate and improve the Sanming medical reform (三明医改) experience with greater efforts, promote the coordinated development and governance of medical care, medical insurance, and medicine, and let the reform results benefit more people.
Scientific decision-making requires grasping the relationship between one area and the overall situation.
In a book, there are thoughts on "how to look" and "how to do." During his work in Xiamen (厦门), Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平同志) led the formulation of the *Xiamen Economic and Social Development Strategy for 1985-2000* (*1985年—2000年厦门经济社会发展战略*). Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平同志) ran almost all over Xiamen (厦门), not only to find out the truth, but also to look at the big picture. This book of more than 300 pages runs through the logical line that "Xiamen (厦门) is the Xiamen (厦门) of the whole country." Pan Yue (潘越), a deputy to the National People's Congress and professor at Xiamen University (厦门大学), said: "The *Development Strategy* has enduring contemporary value and practical power, because it plans regional development from the overall situation of national development."
Yuan Chaohong (袁超洪), a deputy to the National People's Congress and Secretary of the Nanping Municipal Party Committee (南平市委), said: "We will firmly establish and practice a correct view of performance, put ourselves in the overall situation for consideration, find out the laws, and take a path of high-quality development suitable for the actual situation of our region."
Hard Work
Feet must be on the ground
By Shao Yuzi (邵玉姿), reporter of this newspaper
Speaking of the view of performance, Feng Lichao (冯丽朝), a deputy to the National People's Congress and employee of Changshan Hengxin Textile Co., Ltd. (常山恒新纺织有限公司) who has been working in Zhengding (正定), Hebei (河北) for many years, talked about an anecdote during Comrade Xi Jinping's (习近平同志) work in Zhengding (正定).
"In those years, Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平同志) would rather not have the laurel of 'National High-Yield County' ("全国高产县") than let the masses live a good life. He promoted the reduction of grain purchase tasks, and the people really had more white flour buns in their bowls." Deputy Feng Lichao's (冯丽朝) tone was full of respect.
In her view, it is this pragmatic work style of not wanting false names but seeking real achievements that has led the people of Zhengding (正定) to live a good life step by step. "If the view of performance is correct, development will be vigorous and the masses will have a future. Look at Tayuanzhuang Village (塔元庄村), which has changed from a 'backward village' to a well-known 'well-off village'; the ancient charm of 'Nine Buildings, Four Pagodas, and Eight Temples' ('九楼四塔八大寺') has been renewed, and tourists are flocking here - the real achievements are visible and memorable to the people." Deputy Feng Lichao (冯丽朝) said.
To achieve real achievements, we must rely on hard work. And the first step of hard work is to put your feet on the ground.
An old Phoenix "28" bicycle impressed Fan Sheling (范社岭), a member of the Central Committee of the China National Democratic Construction Association (民建中央) and Vice Chairman of the Hebei Provincial Committee of the China National Democratic Construction Association (民建河北省委会). In those years, Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平同志) often rode a bicycle to the countryside for investigation and research, back and forth across the Hutuo River (滹沱河).
"The country road is the road to the heart, and it is also the road to hard work." Member Fan Sheling (范社岭) said that this spirit of rooting in the soil has deeply influenced him. "In recent years, in response to the problems of insufficient protection of agricultural cultural heritage and uneven distribution of rural medical resources, I have insisted on going deep into remote areas for investigation and research. Only when my feet are covered with mud can I have confidence in my heart."
Hard work requires not only the ability to sink down, but also the courage to solve problems.
Yan Jihong (闫继红), a deputy to the National People's Congress and Mayor of Baoding City (保定市), Hebei (河北), talked about an anecdote: Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平同志) once took Party members and cadres from Zhengding County (正定县) to Lixian County (蠡县), Baoding (保定), for investigation. By comparing strength, cooperation, market, and talent introduction, he found gaps and proposed the working idea of "dismantling the walls, welcoming winds from all directions, horizontal connection, and economic cooperation," which effectively promoted the vitality of Zhengding's (正定) economy.
"Hard work is to improve the position and grasp the direction in a broad vision, and to discover and solve problems in field research." Deputy Yan Jihong (闫继红) said with emotion.
In recent years, Baoding City (保定市) has closely focused on the functional positioning of "serving the capital, connecting with Beijing and Tianjin, and linking with Xiong'an (雄安)," and has cumulatively undertaken 484 projects transferred from Beijing and Tianjin, with a total investment of 307.8 billion yuan. In the next step, it will seize the opportunity of building a modern metropolitan area in the capital, and accelerate the creation of a capital of life and health, a new energy and advanced manufacturing base, and a tourist and leisure city in the capital's vicinity.
"Achievements are not shouted out, but done. Do not do superficial articles, do not engage in fancy things, and use practical actions to achieve being an official for one term and benefiting one party." Deputy Yan Jihong (闫继红) said.

The plan for the year starts in spring, and jointly discussing state affairs opens a new chapter. During the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国两会), General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) repeatedly went "down to the delegations" and delivered important speeches. Deputies and members deeply studied and understood, learning the methods and paths for starting businesses and achieving success, and learning the determination and confidence to overcome difficulties. "Performance evaluation" is a key word for everyone's learning and exchange.
Performance evaluation is a mirror, reflecting the original aspiration. "Chinese-style modernization is the modernization of common prosperity for all the people," "In building a healthy China, the shortcoming in remote areas must be addressed"... Between the lines, the weight of "the people" is immense. The country is the people, and the people are the country. The people are the greatest confidence for our party's governance. Slogans painted brightly on the wall are not as good as the clarity in the hearts of the masses; the numbers written in the materials, no matter how fancy, are not as reliable as the stable lives of the people. Chinese-style modernization puts people's livelihood first. True achievements are in the people's daily lives and on the smiling faces of the people.
Performance evaluation is a yardstick, measuring the quality of development. This year's National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国两会) had a thought-provoking "micro-lens." Hearing a grassroots representative talk about the experience of building a harmonious and beautiful countryside, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) said: "It is not enough for the countryside to solve the problem of food and clothing and become rich, but it is not enough to just have money and become rich. We must attach great importance to the spiritual civilization of the countryside, focus on education, change customs and habits, and focus on cultural construction." Simple words contain profound truths: performance evaluation cannot only look at "whether the pockets are bulging," but also at "whether the minds are rich." As the times progress and society develops, the people's needs for a better life are becoming richer, and our party's understanding of the laws of development is also deepening. High-quality development is the hard truth of the new era. To forge ahead in the "15th Five-Year Plan," we must fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, and we must better coordinate the effective improvement of quality and the reasonable growth of quantity, so that development is more sustainable and has more texture.
Performance evaluation contains methods, guiding responsibility and action. "Good planning and execution must be combined," "If key tasks are done well, the construction of a healthy China can be steadily advanced," "Pay attention to grasping the work that manages the fundamentals, benefits the long-term, and enhances the stamina, and build the foundation of the troops' construction and combat effectiveness more firmly"... The great way is simple, and practical work is essential. From the "First Five-Year Plan" to the "14th Five-Year Plan," which step was not built brick by brick? Which journey was not hammered out nail by nail? Emphasizing a "practical" character means seeking truth from facts, being down-to-earth and solid. Being divorced from reality, aiming too high, blindly acting against the laws, and engaging in superficial work will ultimately not stand the test.
Facing the "15th Five-Year Plan," what kind of performance evaluation should party members and cadres have? The learning and exchange of deputies and members continues to deepen, and consensus is increasingly converging: "Creating happiness for the people is the greatest achievement," "Adhering to high-quality development should become an important part of the performance evaluation of leading cadres," "Adhering to 功成不必在我、功成必定有我 (gōng chéng bù bì zài wǒ, gōng chéng bì dìng yǒu wǒ - "achieving success does not necessarily have to be through me, but success will definitely have me," meaning that one should not be eager for quick success and instant benefits, but should be willing to make contributions that may not be immediately visible, but will ultimately lead to success)."
The spring breeze does not fail those who are on the road. If the road is right, there is no fear of high mountains and long distances. Engraving the correct performance evaluation into the rings of the "15th Five-Year Plan," and moving forward firmly step by step, will surely continue to create a new situation in Chinese-style modernization.
Return to TopPolitical achievements are not just numbers on paper, but are reflected in the people's sense of judicial gain. We use the correct view of political achievements to guide the correct concept of adjudication, closely focus on the judicial needs of the masses, continuously improve the evaluation mechanism for achieving judicial justice, and strive to make the people feel fairness and justice in every judicial case.
——Huang Hailong (黄海龙) Representative (Party Secretary and President of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region High People's Court (广西壮族自治区高级人民法院))
Establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements requires us to adhere to adapting to local conditions and seeking truth from facts, and fully consider local resource endowments and industrial foundations. Central and western cities have shortcomings in high-level science and technology innovation teams, but they can tap their own advantages, activate the resources of local elites, base themselves on local realities, and seek practical measures and practical results.
——Zhu Jian (朱健) Representative (Secretary of the Hengyang Municipal Party Committee, Hunan Province (湖南省衡阳市委书记))
The key to establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements is to look at problems more from the perspective of enterprises and the masses. We will continue to improve the list of exemptions from penalties and lighter penalties, standardize inspections involving enterprises, and strengthen classified and graded supervision, so that supervision is more warm and services are more powerful.
——Shen Haibin (沈海斌) Representative (Party Secretary and Director of the Jiangsu Provincial Market Supervision Bureau (江苏省市场监管局))
The people's sense of gain is the "touchstone" for testing the quality of political achievements. We strive for relevant interest subsidy policies, and many fishermen only need to pay more than 900 yuan in interest each year to replace wooden boats with steel boats. We must continue to work in a solid and efficient manner to bring more benefits to fishermen.
——Yao Huaming (姚华明) Representative (Secretary of the Yingkou Municipal Party Committee, Liaoning Province (辽宁省营口市委书记))
Doing business and starting a career is for the purpose of allowing the masses to obtain tangible benefits. We deepen and expand the rectification of formalism to reduce the burden on the grassroots, and in principle, only conduct one comprehensive inspection of the same enterprise within a year. Doing so is to allow enterprises to have more energy to concentrate on production and develop with confidence.
——Ma Zejiang (马泽江) Representative (Secretary of the Suizhou Municipal Party Committee, Hubei Province (湖北省随州市委书记))
As a university, the fundamental way to establish and practice a correct view of political achievements is to adhere to educating people for the Party and cultivating talents for the country. The school responded to the national adjustment of disciplines and majors, revoked some majors, restructured the curriculum system, strengthened the integration of industry and education, and continuously transported talents for social development and industrial upgrading.
——Gao Xinbo (高新波) Member (President of Xidian University (西安电子科技大学))
What the people say is good is truly good. We insist on doing a good job in policy interpretation, providing door-to-door services to people in need; strengthening market supervision and optimizing the business environment; paying attention to analyzing the problems reflected in the 12345 hotline and other channels, and starting to improve from where the masses are dissatisfied. We will continue to go deep into understanding the people's conditions, seek practical measures, and do our work to the hearts of the people.
——Liu Hui (刘辉) Member (Vice Mayor of Huludao City, Liaoning Province (辽宁省葫芦岛市副市长))
The view of political achievements reflects Party spirit and reflects work style. As an educator, establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements means keeping in mind the original aspiration and mission, focusing on solving the urgent and difficult problems of teachers and students, striving to run education that the people are satisfied with, and cultivating more new people of the era who can shoulder the great task of national rejuvenation.
——Deng Langni (邓朗妮) Representative (Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Vice President of Guangxi University of Science and Technology (广西科技大学党委常委、副校长))
Leading the villagers to seek development is inseparable from the basic skill of investigation and research. I ran to many places and selected excellent individual plants with strong cold resistance and outstanding adaptability from more than 100,000 Sophora japonica trees. Today, the honey locust industry has become our characteristic industry. This shows that we cannot make decisions based on our own ideas when seeking development, but must keep our feet on the ground.
——Lei Maoduan (雷茂端) Representative (Secretary of the Gudong Party Branch of Sanluli Village, Sanluli Town, Yanhu District, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province (山西省运城市盐湖区三路里镇三路里村沟东党支部书记))

Return to TopBeijing Delegation –
Systematically Protect Old Landmarks, "Together for a Shared Future"
By Song Fei (宋飞), reporter of this newspaper
Qianmen East Sanlihe (前门东三里河), transformed from a historical block into a composite cultural space; Xixinglong Street (西兴隆街), leveraging the "first store economy" to shift towards a vibrant street integrating "culture + commerce + life"; Longfusi (隆福寺) block, injecting creative retail formats while protecting its historical appearance... At the open day of the Beijing (北京) Delegation, Wu Chen (吴晨), chief architect of the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design, mentioned these cases as if enumerating his family treasures. All these cases take systematic protection as a prerequisite to achieve a win-win situation of historical and cultural continuity, public space optimization, and cultural consumption upgrading.
Representative Wu Chen (吴晨) mentioned that the "Together for a Shared Future" urban revitalization new landmark research, completed in 2025, promotes the implementation of the concept of Beijing's (北京) future digital space innovation pilot zone. "The construction of industrial flagship platforms can allow more resources to be 'invested in people', enhancing young people's sense of identity and belonging to the city," said Representative Wu Chen (吴晨).
On the open day, the story of development unfolded in multiple dimensions.
Wang Shaofeng (王少峰), Secretary of the Fengtai (丰台) District Committee, brought an invitation of "flowers", introducing that the "2026 Beijing International Flower Exhibition" will be held in Fengtai Lize (丰台丽泽) at the end of April this year; Lei Jun (雷军), founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group (小米集团), shared the progress of intelligent manufacturing, introducing that "humanoid robots have begun internships in the Xiaomi (小米) Automobile Factory"...
The narratives of the representatives outlined Beijing's (北京) solid steps in high-quality development, urban construction, technological innovation, and improvement of people's livelihoods, and a new picture of the capital's development is slowly unfolding.
Hebei Delegation –
Continuously Promote "So Close, So Beautiful, Weekend in Hebei"
By Yang Xiaoyu (杨笑雨) and Shao Yuzi (邵玉姿), reporters of this newspaper
At the open day of the Hebei (河北) Delegation, the representatives sat around, talking about development, discussing people's livelihoods, and planning for the future, revealing their deep expectations and full confidence in Hebei's (河北) high-quality development.
Han Li (韩莉), deputy curator of the Chengde (承德) Museum, started with a restoration, an exhibition, and a cultural creation, telling the story of how Hebei's (河北) cultural heritage was "brought to life" and became popular in a vivid and down-to-earth manner.
"The value of cultural relic protection lies in the inheritance of culture," said Representative Han Li (韩莉). The Chengde (承德) Museum uses VR (virtual reality) technology to allow the audience to "travel" to the ancient opera stage to watch a grand opera; it has created 13 digital exhibition halls, using creativity to let cultural relics tell their own stories; and the cultural and creative products are made more "trendy", printing classical aesthetic elements on coffee cups and notebooks...
Speaking of exhibitions, Representative Han Li's (韩莉) eyes lit up: "The 'Looking Inside and Outside the Great Wall' exhibition won the National Museum Top Ten Exhibition Boutique Award." What made her even happier was that the museum trained more than 1,000 young docents, who provided volunteer explanation services to more than 300,000 visitors, becoming cultural communicators and inheritors.
Talking about the coordinated development of Beijing (北京), Tianjin (天津), and Hebei (河北), Representative Han Li (韩莉) took out a set of data: In 2025, among the tourists from outside Hebei (河北) Province to Chengde (承德), tourists from Beijing (北京) and Tianjin (天津) accounted for more than 50%. "Continuously promote 'So Close, So Beautiful, Weekend in Hebei', and promote the deep integration of culture and tourism, health and wellness, sports, agriculture and other industries," said Representative Han Li (韩莉).
Jiangsu Delegation –
Small and Micro Enterprises Can Also Come to the Sidelines of the "Su Super League"

"Will anyone ask about the 'Su Super League'?" At the open day of the Jiangsu (江苏) Delegation, a reporter said with a smile before the question-and-answer session began. Last year, the Jiangsu (江苏) Provincial Urban Football League frequently "went out of the circle", extending from the green field to topics such as cultural tourism consumption and urban vitality, which attracted the attention of many people.
After the question-and-answer session began, a reporter did ask about the "Su Super League". Chen Zhongwei (陈忠伟), Vice Governor of Jiangsu (江苏) Province, responded with a smile: "Everyone unanimously believes that the success of the 'Su Super League' is due to many factors, but the most fundamental one is to let the general public love and participate in it. We take this as the starting point and foothold for running this year's competition well."
"We hope that the competition will be more urban and more youthful," said Representative Chen Zhongwei (陈忠伟). This year's event will further strengthen the urban attributes of the teams in terms of organization, allowing players to fight for the honor of the city on the green field.
Representative Chen Zhongwei (陈忠伟) introduced that this year's event has made smooth progress in business cooperation, and companies are very enthusiastic about participating. "Every advertising space is very popular." Jiangsu (江苏) Province has set aside 32 advertising spaces specifically for small and micro enterprises. Through a public lottery, 32 companies were selected from 3,582 applicants, including technology companies, milk tea shops, and snack stalls. "We hope that through this method, small and micro enterprises can also come to the sidelines and appear with well-known brands."
As the open day event drew to a close, Liu Xiaotao (刘小涛), Deputy Secretary of the Jiangsu (江苏) Provincial Party Committee and Governor of the Province, who presided over the meeting, talked about the "Su Super League" topic again. "The media has made great contributions to the popularity of the 'Su Super League'," he said. "This year, let's continue to cooperate and make the competition even better. Everyone must come, don't miss it."
Anhui Delegation –
From "Going Out" to "Going Up" and "Integrating In"
By Tian Xianjin (田先进), reporter of this newspaper
In the information booklet provided at the open day of the Anhui (安徽) Delegation, the development of Anhui's (安徽) artificial intelligence industry occupies a large proportion, and a number of landmark achievements in recent years have become the focus of promotion.
"We have specially created the iFLYTEK Spark National Two Sessions reporter intelligent entity for media friends, which can help you quickly complete interview outline output, manuscript writing, multilingual translation and other work. Welcome everyone to use and experience it," said Liu Qingfeng (刘庆峰), chairman of iFLYTEK (科大讯飞), at the scene, causing bursts of laughter.
Artificial intelligence empowers thousands of industries and is closely related to daily life. Last year, Anhui's (安徽) automobile production, new energy vehicle production, and automobile export volume won three national firsts. How artificial intelligence can help the automobile industry accelerate its upgrading is an unavoidable topic.
"This achievement stems from Anhui's (安徽) firm determination to build a new energy vehicle industry, and its determination and courage to make multi-dimensional and precise efforts," said Yin Tongyue (尹同跃), chairman of Chery Holding Group (奇瑞控股集团), in response to a reporter's question. Facing the future, we will promote globalization innovation with long-termism, from "going out" to "going up" and "integrating in", seize the opportunities of artificial intelligence, and take the road of high-quality development.
"The key is to establish a unified and efficient organizational framework and operating mechanism," said Yu Shuhong (俞书宏), academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) and chief scientist of the Hefei (合肥) National Research Center for Microscale Material Science, when talking about the coordinated development of science and technology in the Yangtze River Delta region.
In December last year, the Yangtze River Delta Large Science Facility (Light Source) Alliance was established in Hefei (合肥), Anhui (安徽). "The establishment of the alliance has created a new mechanism for cross-regional coordination of scientific and technological resources, and built a cooperation platform for enhancing the international competitiveness of China's light source large science facilities," said Yu Shuhong (俞书宏).
Fujian Delegation –
Behind the "New Specialty Products" is a Modern Industrial System
By Wang Hao (王浩) and Zhong Ziwei (钟自炜), reporters of this newspaper
At the open day of the Fujian (福建) Delegation, the representatives showed off their "new specialty products".
"Our power battery installed capacity has been the world's first for 9 consecutive years, and our energy storage battery shipments have been the world's first for 5 consecutive years," said Wang Hongmei (王红梅), a senior technician at Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (宁德时代新能源科技股份有限公司), who revealed the achievements.
Ningde (宁德), which used to belong to the "old, young, border, island, and poor" areas, has embraced the "golden baby" of new energy, and the lithium battery industry has become a "new specialty product". Zhang Yongning (张永宁), Secretary of the Ningde (宁德) Municipal Party Committee, revealed the development ideas - grasp the leading enterprises, grasp the clusters, and grasp the ecology. The leading geese lead the flock of geese. Taking CATL (宁德时代) as an example, the company has accumulated more than 50,000 patent applications; the chain owner leads the chain. Among the upstream and downstream supporting enterprises in the lithium battery industry chain, Ningde (宁德) has cultivated more than 20 national and provincial-level specialized, refined, and new enterprises; the ecology attracts talents. "There is a saying in the industry that 'about half of China's lithium battery doctors are in Ningde'," said Representative Zhang Yongning (张永宁).
The "new specialty product" presented by Fuzhou (福州) is the cultural tourism industry. "Fuzhou (福州) treats guests with sincerity and warmth, allowing foreign tourists to feel the heritage and warmth of 'Fuzhou, a city of blessings'," said Wu Xiande (吴贤德), Deputy Secretary of the Fuzhou (福州) Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of the city, extending a sincere invitation.
Nanping (南平) paints a good "landscape painting". Yuan Chaohong (袁超洪), Secretary of the Nanping (南平) Municipal Party Committee, said: "The cultural tourism industry and the white-feathered broiler industry have both exceeded 100 billion yuan, and the tea industry and the bamboo industry have both exceeded 50 billion yuan."
Cai Zhansheng (蔡战胜), Deputy Secretary of the Quanzhou (泉州) Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of the city, talked about the "Jinjiang Experience" (晋江经验), "We have launched the 'Policy Finding Enterprises' platform, which integrates nearly 8,000 policies and has already cashed out more than 13 billion yuan in benefits to enterprises."
Behind each "new specialty product" is Fujian's (福建) modern industrial system with a solid foundation and distinctive characteristics, and the spirit of "daring to be the first and daring to win" of the cadres and the masses. Today, Fujian's (福建) industrial development is moving steadily, with a clear direction, a good foundation, great potential, and strong momentum and vitality.
Jiangxi Delegation –
A Dividend is Both a Dividend and a Real Achievement
By Yang Yanfei (杨颜菲), reporter of this newspaper
At the open day of the Jiangxi (江西) Delegation, Zuo Xiangyun (左香云), a villager from Shenshan Village (神山村), Maoping Town (茅坪镇), Jinggangshan (井冈山) City, took out a piece of paper and showed it to the reporters' cameras. It was a "smiling face wall" composed of dozens of photos of villagers from Shenshan Village (神山村).
Behind the smiles of the villagers is their satisfaction with a happy life. Shenshan Village (神山村) has built roads, escaped poverty, and held an annual cooperative dividend ceremony at the 10th Shenshan Village (神山村) "Village Evening" before the 2026 Spring Festival. The dividends in the hands of the poverty-stricken households are not only visible collective economic dividends, but also tangible achievements in the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.
"Our group of 'technical nerds' can concentrate on researching technology and doing research and development," said Liu Wenfeng (刘文峰), chairman and general manager of Jiangxi Feishang Technology Co., Ltd. (江西飞尚科技有限公司), with a smile. At the beginning of the business, the province's special policy to support technological entrepreneurship helped a lot, and he received support funds to do a solid job in technology.
"The old ladies in our village don't dance square dances anymore, they want to dance ethnic dances and Latin dances!" Luo Laichang (罗来昌), Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Village Committee of Jinshun Village (进顺村), Hufang Town (湖坊镇), Qingshanhu (青山湖) District, Nanchang (南昌) City, said a word, which caused bursts of laughter at the scene. Whatever the masses want to dance, the village-level elderly university in Jinshun Village (进顺村) teaches them, and the colorful sports and entertainment courses fill the villagers' spiritual life "to the brim".
The bright smiles on people's faces are a wonderful answer sheet for the improvement of people's livelihood and well-being in the old revolutionary base areas. "Now, our lives are getting better and better," said Representative Luo Laichang (罗来昌) with a smile.
Sichuan Delegation –
"Two Cups of Water" Witness Green Development
By Li Linwei (李林蔚) and Wang Mingfeng (王明峰), reporters of this newspaper
A model of the Long March 3B carrier rocket, a "Nezha" hand-made model made of aviation aluminum, Huili (会理) green pottery, Shu brocade and Shu embroidery... At the open day of the Sichuan (四川) Delegation, a small exhibition area attracted many reporters to stop.
At the event, Hu Xiaoling (胡晓玲), Secretary of the Party Branch of Huanglian Village (黄连村), Longquan Tujia (龙泉土家族) Township, Xuanhan (宣汉) County, Dazhou (达州) City, told the story of "two cups of water": "A small cup of Coptis chinensis water and a large cup of honey water are our Huanglian Village's special hospitality gifts, meaning not to forget the past suffering and cherish the good days now."
The villagers of Huanglian Village (黄连村) have experienced the suffering of the past: Before 2013, the village had no roads, no telephones, and no running water.
The villagers can't finish talking about the sweetness of today: In recent years, Huanglian Village (黄连村) has built more than 30 kilometers of roads, the communication network has full coverage, developed the planting of Chinese medicinal materials such as Coptis chinensis and Aucklandia, and developed medicinal flower honey to support it. The average annual income of villagers is stable at 25,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan.
What is the secret to turning "bitterness" into "sweetness"? Representative Hu Xiaoling (胡晓玲) did not hesitate: "Ecological priority! Transform ecological advantages into resource advantages and development advantages, and truly turn the green waters and green mountains of Huanglian Village (黄连村) into golden mountains and silver mountains."
Today, the village has built a cultural tourism scenic spot, and villagers have opened restaurants and homestays, eating "tourism meals".
From the red-billed gulls "visiting" the Sichuan (四川) Basin year after year, to the increase in the number of days when Chengdu (成都) citizens "see snow-capped mountains from the window" to 81 days last year... Zhong Chenglin (钟承林), Director of the Sichuan (四川) Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, said: "The 'green content' of development is higher, the 'carbon content' is lower, and the 'gold content' is more sufficient."
Yunnan Delegation –
"Two Apples" Show a Prosperous Life
By Yang Wenming (杨文明) and He Zhaoyu (何昭宇), reporters of this newspaper
"During the past Spring Festival, the cars were blocked to the village!" said Representative Yu Wulin (郁伍林) at the open day of the Yunnan (云南) Delegation.
Representative Yu Wulin (郁伍林) is a representative inheritor of intangible cultural heritage and the owner of "150 Inn" in Laomudeng Village (老姆登村), Pihe Nu (匹河怒) Township, Fugong (福贡) County, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture (怒江傈僳族自治州). He attracted media attention at last year's National Two Sessions because he frankly said that he "earned 400,000 to 500,000 yuan"; he also made a deep impression on everyone because he repeatedly called for "building a road between Fugong (福贡) County and Lanping (兰坪) County".
A year has passed, and Representative Yu Wulin (郁伍林) has become a leader in getting rich, and has taken the lead in establishing the Laomudeng (老姆登) Traditional Culture Fuyun Tourism Farmers Professional Cooperative. His annual income is still 400,000 to 500,000 yuan, and the number of homestays and inns in Laomudeng Village (老姆登村) has increased to 40 to 50. Villagers have embarked on the road to prosperity by relying on intangible cultural heritage inheritance and cultural tourism integration.
Lu Quan (鲁权), chairman of Ninglang Hengtai Agricultural Investment and Development Co., Ltd. (宁蒗恒泰农业投资开发有限公司), is also happy because of the traffic jam in the village. In the past two years, the village has been blocked from time to time during the apple marketing season.
Ninglang Yi Autonomous County (宁蒗彝族自治县) is located deep in the hinterland of Xiaoliangshan (小凉山). What industry should be developed has once troubled the people on this land.
The road found by Representative Lu Quan (鲁权) is to develop the apple industry. At the open day, Representative Lu Quan (鲁权) took out two apples: "They are both new varieties selected from old varieties. One is all red, symbolizing the prosperity of the industry; the other is striped and drawn, symbolizing that the road ahead is still very long..."
"Lao Lu (老鲁), there are so many people present, two apples are not enough for you!" At the venue, some representatives joked, causing everyone to laugh.
"Welcome everyone to visit Ninglang (宁蒗), there are enough apples, we are not afraid of traffic jams here!" Representative Lu Quan (鲁权) responded with a smile, winning applause from the audience.
Qinghai Delegation –
Let Tourists Have a Good Time and the Ice and Snow Industry Have Sustained Momentum
By Cao Jiwei (曹继炜) and Luo Shanshan (罗珊珊), reporters of this newspaper
At the open day of the Qinghai (青海) Delegation, Wang Guodong (王国栋), Secretary of the Mutual Tu Autonomous County (互助土族自治县) Party Committee of Haidong (海东) City, held up treasured photos and invited everyone to the Huzu Nanmenxia National Wetland Park (互助南门峡国家湿地公园) to see the black storks, a national first-class protected wild animal, and appreciate the improving ecological picture; Qiao Yaqun (乔亚群), Deputy Secretary of the Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (海西蒙古族藏族自治州) Party Committee and Governor of the Prefecture, took out handwritten letters and invited everyone to walk into Nankeke Village (南柯柯村), Keke Town (柯柯镇), Ulan (乌兰) County, to see the 6-meter-long steel pontoon bridge and feel the "bridge of hearts" built by the people-benefiting project; Wu Xiaojun (吴晓军), Secretary of the Qinghai (青海) Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, mentioned the popular TV series "Tree of Life" and invited everyone to walk into the beautiful Qinghai (青海) and feel the power of life... Sincere invitations told the new changes in Qinghai (青海).
In 2025, the National Cultural Heritage Administration officially recognized the Garitang Qin Inscription (尕日塘秦刻石) as the only known Qin Dynasty inscription in China that still exists at its original site and has the highest altitude. "From the historical origin witnessed by the Qin Inscription to the vivid practice of 'the Chinese nation is one family' on the land of Qinghai (青海) today, the axis of exchanges, interactions, and integration runs through ancient and modern times, and the main theme of national unity and progress is inherited in one continuous line," said Representative Wu Xiaojun (吴晓军).
The main peak of Gangshika Snow Mountain (岗什卡雪峰) is 5254.5 meters above sea level, with perennial snow cover and moderate climbing difficulty. In 2025, the scenic spot will achieve a total tourism expenditure of more than 70 million yuan. Not only should tourists have a good time, but the ice and snow industry should also have sustained momentum. "Only by protecting this green water and green mountains and ice and snow can we reap the real golden mountains and silver mountains," said Luo Dongchuan (罗东川), Deputy Secretary of the Qinghai (青海) Provincial Party Committee and Governor of the Province.
Xinjiang Delegation –
A "Welcome" is Enthusiasm and Motivation
By Zhou Shanshan (周珊珊), reporter of this newspaper
"Welcome everyone to Xinjiang (新疆)", "Warmly welcome guests from all over the world to travel to Xinjiang (新疆)"... At the open day of the Xinjiang (新疆) Delegation, a word was frequently mentioned by the representatives - "welcome".
"You must come once in your life, and you will remember it for the rest of your life." The opening remarks of Ainiwar Turxun (艾尼瓦尔·吐尔逊), Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区人大常委会副主任), made the atmosphere at the scene relaxed.
"You must come once in your lifetime, and you will remember it for a lifetime." The opening remarks by Ai'niwa'er Tu'erxun (艾尼瓦尔·吐尔逊), Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区), relaxed the atmosphere.
A set of data can corroborate this: In 2025, Xinjiang (新疆) received over 323 million tourists, realizing tourism spending of 370 billion yuan, representing year-on-year increases of 8.0% and 8.4% respectively, reaching a record high.
Behind the data are wonderful stories.
"The popular online check-in spot, Liuxing Street (六星街), mentioned by the reporter is located in Yining (伊宁), Ili (伊犁)," said Kong Feifei (孔菲菲), Deputy General Manager of the Ili Culture and Tourism Industry Group Co., Ltd. (新疆伊犁文化旅游产业集团有限公司), as she enumerated Ili's cultural tourism resources: the lavender fields of Huocheng (霍城), the rapeseed flower fields and snow-capped mountains of Zhaosu (昭苏) reflecting each other, and the Ili General's Mansion (伊犁将军府) witnessing a rich history...
"A TV series, *My Altay*, allowed everyone to appreciate the warm and healing poetry and distant places." Zhuoya Baheti (卓娅·巴合提), a staff member of the Altay Regional Cultural Relics and Museums Institute (阿勒泰地区文博院), added with a smile that nowadays, ski resorts such as General Mountain (将军山) and Keketuhai (可可托海) in Altay (阿勒泰) attract ski enthusiasts from China and abroad every year, and projects such as snowmobiles and horse-drawn sledges make ice and snow tourism full of vitality.
At the end of the event, the representatives extended their invitations again with sincere tones. A simple "welcome" represents the enthusiasm of Xinjiang (新疆) and, even more so, the driving force behind the development of Xinjiang's (新疆) cultural tourism. When the beauty of the mountains and rivers, the charm of culture, and the vitality of the times meet, this land is waiting for every visitor from afar with a more open attitude, to embark on a beautiful rendezvous that "you will remember for a lifetime."

Return to TopThe industry's "new content" is becoming increasingly sufficient.
New Scene
Located in Optics Valley of Wuhan (武汉), Hubei (湖北) Province, the nation's first "Humanoid Robot 7S Store" has new products: the "Yuanyou" (远游) robot can complete a pair of Spring Festival couplets in less than 2 minutes; the "Jingchu" (荆楚) robot can pick up tender tofu with its "iron palm"... "Relying on the Hubei Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, hundreds of training robots are simultaneously trained and collect data in 23 high-simulation scenarios and more than 10 temporary scenarios, providing support for the 'evolution' of robots," said Hu Longdan (胡龙丹), the store manager, introducing the "secret" to accelerating research and development.
In recent years, Hubei has proactively laid out the humanoid robot industry. Currently, there are 9 humanoid robot complete machine enterprises and 116 core component enterprises. The localization rate of components has reached 85%, and the agglomeration effect of the entire industrial chain of complete machines, components, and algorithms is initially apparent.

China's Manufacturing Forges Hard Power
More than a decade ago, I often spent time in Gree's (格力) production workshops. Looking around, it was all imported machine tools. Our core components had to rely on foreign imports. When repairs were needed, we had to wait for foreign engineers to come, and the price of consumables was raised layer by layer. At that time, I thought, why can't we develop independently?
In 2013, Gree Electric Appliances (格力电器) began to invest in the research and development of intelligent equipment, and has persisted for more than 10 years. Today, in Gree's intelligent factory, from the "industrial brain" to the robotic arms, all are manufactured independently in China. Gree's Jinwan (金湾) factory has been successfully selected as a leading intelligent factory, with a domestic equipment rate of over 80%.
From "making a good air conditioner" to independently developing precision machine tools and industrial robots, and then to building intelligent factories, Gree's climbing path reflects China's manufacturing industry's innovative exploration from follower to leader.
The draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" proposes "comprehensively enhancing independent innovation capabilities." As a practitioner in the manufacturing industry, I deeply know that independent innovation is never a solitary battle, nor can it be satisfied with 独善其身 (dú shàn qí shēn - "cultivate oneself alone," to only care about one's own moral improvement and not help others). In recent years, the intelligent standards we have explored in practice and the accumulated innovation experience have not only enabled Gree to achieve transformation and upgrading, but are also worth sharing with more peers. It is recommended that the state deepen the integration of industry and education, promote vocational colleges and enterprises to jointly build practical training systems, cultivate compound skilled talents, and achieve the synchronous advancement of machine upgrades and talent upgrades.

"Artificial Intelligence +" Runs at an Accelerated Pace
The draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" proposes "deepening and expanding 'Artificial Intelligence +'." "Artificial Intelligence +" is by no means a simple technological superposition, but an engine that drives profound changes in thousands of industries.
AI intelligent agents are triggering an efficiency revolution. In a factory in Tongxiang (桐乡), Zhejiang (浙江) Province, we deployed AI intelligent agents, and the security inspection model has undergone fundamental changes. The intelligent agent can analyze video images in real time, plan patrol routes, assist in emergency decision-making, and even automatically generate shift reports, improving the efficiency of handling emergencies.
We are also trying to empower smart education and smart sports with AI technology. The AI sports equipment we have developed has been promoted in more than 800 schools across the country, allowing children to fall in love with sports in a fun way. The innovative "Xinlifang" (心力方) physical and mental health protection program, through intelligent sensing technology, has successfully warned and intervened in many potential risks.
These practices make me firmly believe that when large model technology is deeply integrated with specific hardware and scenarios, AI is no longer a cold concept, but a new quality productive force that can truly inject动力 into industrial upgrading and bring warmth to people's livelihoods. This is precisely the responsibility and role that our technology companies should have in the "Artificial Intelligence +" era.

The "Gold Content" of Culture is Getting Higher and Higher
New Scene
"Lighting engineer, actors get ready!" "Switch the camera, pay attention to close-ups, capture details!"... For several days in a row, the short drama crew's filming site in Yuanqiao Village (袁桥村), Dajindian Town (大金店镇), Dengfeng City (登封市), Henan (河南) Province, was bustling with activity.
Yuanqiao Village has ancient opera houses and ancient locust trees. The skills of weaving flower baskets and farming techniques have also been passed down from generation to generation. It is known as an "open-air history museum." "By making good use of our cultural heritage, our village has gained popularity," said Liu Wantao (刘万涛), the Party Branch Secretary of Yuanqiao Village. Relying on historical and cultural resources, the village began filming micro-short dramas the year before last. Now, more than 50 works have been successfully filmed. Many tourists come here attracted by the name, and the villagers' lives are getting better and better.

Cultural Relics Go Viral, Industries Break Through
Digital technology has given traditional culture more business forms. During the Spring Festival this year, a Yungang Grottoes (云冈石窟) light sculpture show was staged in Paris (巴黎), France (法国), causing heated discussions.
The realization of the light sculpture show relies on the construction of "Digital Yungang." Currently, Yungang Grottoes has completed high-precision digital archiving of 80% of the caves. In recent years, the Yungang Research Institute (云冈研究院) has united with technical teams to use technologies such as three-dimensional laser scanning and close-range photogrammetry to increase the collection accuracy from the initial 1 cm to 0.03 mm, providing strong support for archaeological research, protection and restoration, and exhibition and display.
In addition to "Digital Yungang," Yungang Grottoes has also achieved a transformation and upgrade from traditional sightseeing to in-depth cultural experience by creating real-life performances and performing arts activities, developing research and study courses, and developing cultural and creative products. In 2025, the number of tourists received by the Yungang Grottoes scenic spot exceeded 5.28 million, an increase of 18.87% year-on-year, setting a new historical high.
The draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" proposes "vigorously developing cultural tourism and empowering economic and social development with culture." We will transform the rich advantages of cultural relics resources into development advantages, accelerate the improvement and upgrading of infrastructure, make up for supporting shortcomings, provide tourists with convenient and comfortable tour conditions, strengthen value interpretation, innovate communication methods, develop differentiated cultural tourism products, and allow tourists to better experience the charm of cultural heritage.

Let Chinese Stories Go Overseas
At the beginning of this year, in a Chinese language academy classroom in Riyadh (利雅得), Saudi Arabia (沙特), children used the "Smart Learning Chinese" textbook we published to learn Chinese. The first lesson was to greet "Hello" in unison.
To enhance international communication, the key lies in the coordinated efforts of diverse entities. When translating the Arabic version of "Mountain and Sea Love" (山海情), we specifically chose Gulf dialect dubbing. The drama was broadcast on mainstream TV stations in 10 Arab countries. Our independently developed "Belt and Road" Arab Countries Cultural Exchange and Education Cooperation Promotion Platform project was selected as a key national cultural export project.
The draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" proposes "enhancing the international communication capabilities of mainstream media," which requires us to innovate collaboratively in mechanisms, carriers, and discourse. In the next step, we will focus on digital transformation, promote the construction of a China-Arab intelligent mutual translation large model, deeply cultivate precise communication strategies, use small-cut stories to showcase the vivid practice of Chinese-style modernization, and truly realize the leap from "going out" to "going in" for Chinese stories.

The Elderly Care Service Network is Becoming Denser and Denser
New Scene
"Lingxi (灵犀), Lingxi, can you play a Shanghai opera?"
In the early spring afternoon, in the leisure corridor of the Xindongyuan · Happy Home (新东苑·快乐家园) elderly care community in Minhang District (闵行区), Shanghai (上海), 82-year-old Grandma Zhang (张奶奶) gently called out, and a Zhiyuan Lingxi (智元灵犀) robot with a rounded body immediately turned its "head" in response, and a soft Shanghai opera singing voice immediately sounded.
As the new "group favorite" of Xindongyuan, the robots are not only the elderly's life stewards, but also entertainment "partners": leading the team to practice Baduanjin (八段锦) in the morning; giving recipe suggestions based on the different physical conditions of the elderly; performing impromptu talent shows... Shanghai has vigorously promoted the landing of service robots in elderly care services in recent years. Some products have been piloted in nursing homes, and the next step will be to explore home-based elderly care.

Service Resources "One-Click Matching"
Mudan Community (牡丹社区) in Huanggu District (皇姑区), Shenyang City (沈阳市), Liaoning Province (辽宁省), is a typical old community. The elderly account for 40% of the total population, and there are 17 elderly people who are disabled or semi-disabled. The situation of "one person disabled, the whole family unbalanced" occurs frequently. As a "veteran grassroots" who has been rooted in the community for 24 years, I understand their urgent needs and concerns.
Relying on the "Shengqing Kangyang" (盛情康养) Shenyang Basic Elderly Care Service Comprehensive Platform, we have opened up data connections to achieve "one-click reporting" of elderly care needs and "one-click matching" of service resources. The elderly and their families can conveniently book more than 30 types of services such as meal assistance and bathing assistance. In response to the safety hazards of elderly people living alone, we have equipped the elderly with smart bracelets to monitor the elderly's heartbeat, pulse, blood pressure and other health data. Once an abnormality occurs, an alarm will be issued, and it will be linked with the 120 emergency center, home-based elderly care workers, community grid members, and family members.
The draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" proposes "promoting elderly care, elderly participation, and elderly enjoyment." In the future, it is hoped that various departments can further smooth data sharing to ensure that the needs are clear, the base numbers are clear, and the coverage is comprehensive in the process of implementing elderly care policies. The supply of elderly care services should be adapted to local conditions and implemented precisely to provide elderly care services that are "guaranteed at the bottom, have a market in the middle, and have choices at the high end," and further promote the diversified development of the elderly care industry.

Elderly Canteens Warm the Stomach and Warm the Heart
When I was conducting research in a border village in Yanbian (延边), Jilin (吉林), I saw elderly people eating hot meals in the newly built and operated elderly canteens. Some elderly canteens also organize cultural activities, which warm the stomach and warm the heart. As of the end of 2025, Jilin Province had built 2,081 urban and rural elderly meal assistance service facilities.
The "improving the urban and rural elderly care service network" proposed in the draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" is promising. China is actively responding to the aging of the population with more practical measures. At present, the level of rural elderly care services still needs to be improved, especially in terms of elderly care for the very old, which requires more attention.
In the future, we can further expand the supply of inclusive elderly care services and actively develop rural elderly care services. Appropriately introduce social organizations to serve the rural elderly, establish a key elderly living condition inspection and assistance system, and carry out pre-intervention on risk conditions. Explore mutual assistance elderly care, and gradually form a multi-level linkage mechanism of "government leadership, village committee coordination, social organization participation, and villager response" to allow rural elderly people to enjoy a happy old age.

The Magnetic Force of the Opening Portal is Stronger
Today, the topic of "coming to China with empty boxes" is constantly heating up on overseas social media. Since the Hainan Free Trade Port officially launched full island customs closure operations on December 18 last year, the door to Hainan's opening up has been opened wider, and the "magnetic field" of development has become stronger. During the Spring Festival holiday this year, the number of inbound tourists in the province increased by 82% year-on-year, and the average daily shopping amount and number of shoppers for offshore duty-free shopping reached 303 million yuan and 36,000 respectively, an increase of 16.5% and 20% year-on-year respectively.
The draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" proposes "actively expanding autonomous opening up." The key to building the Hainan Free Trade Port to a high standard lies in the deep integration of institutional innovation and industrial upgrading. Hainan should seize new tracks such as digital trade, and use its unique natural endowments and policy advantages to build a modern industrial system with international competitiveness. At the same time, it should take the lead in key areas such as cross-border data flow and intellectual property protection, accelerate the establishment of an institutional system that is in line with international rules, and create a first-class business environment that is market-oriented, law-based, and internationalized, and truly build the Hainan Free Trade Port into an important portal leading China's opening up to the outside world in the new era.

A Small Mountain Village Becomes a Highland of Opening Up
Tuanjie Village (团结村) in Shapingba District (沙坪坝区), Chongqing (重庆), has developed from a small mountain village into an open base. At the beginning of this year, Tuanjie Village welcomed the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor (西部陆海新通道) New Year's goods train, which was full of ASEAN (东盟) foods such as Vietnamese (越南) cassava starch and Indonesian (印尼) puff pastry oil, adding a strong exotic flavor to the Chinese New Year.
Shapingba District is actively integrating into the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and is committed to building an important carrier for inland opening up and a comprehensive hub. Since 2025, the Chongqing International Railway Port Comprehensive Bonded Zone (重庆国际铁路港综合保税区) has been operating under customs closure. The ASEAN Cassava Flour Southwest Distribution Center and the China-Europe Reception Hall and other economic, trade, cultural and human cooperation and exchange platforms have been established successively. Shapingba District has added 17 countries and regions with economic and trade exchanges, and the total import and export volume of foreign trade in the district has increased by 51.5%.
The draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" proposes "building high-quality strategic backbone channels such as coastal, border, and river areas, outbound from Xinjiang and inbound to Tibet, and the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor in the west." We will continue to improve the level of opening up, operate the Chongqing International Railway Port Comprehensive Bonded Zone with high quality, and improve the functions of the five major platforms of "bonded logistics, bonded processing, testing and maintenance, research and development design, and exhibition and sales"; amplify the superimposed effect of "channel + port + comprehensive bonded zone" and promote the leap from logistics hub to industrial hub, trade hub, and financial hub.

"Planning the 'forest' while allowing the 'trees' to grow freely," a foreign scholar once vividly described China's Five-Year Plans. From "national affairs" to "personal matters," the draft outline of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" involves all aspects of economic and social development and is closely related to each and every one of us.
It is helpful to start with three keywords to understand the connection between the "big family" and the "small family" in the development blueprint.
Set the direction. A clear direction is essential for unity and solid progress. The draft outline of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" proposes 20 major indicators focusing on economic development, innovation-driven growth, people's well-being, green and low-carbon development, and security safeguards. Various regions and departments formulate plans at all levels and of all types based on the Five-Year Plan, promoting the concerted efforts of the government, the market, society, and the public to achieve the alignment of their own development "small logic" and the national development "big logic."
Grasp the key points. Only by grasping the principal contradictions and outstanding problems can we exert precise efforts. The draft outline of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" focuses on the basic support and bottleneck constraints for advancing Chinese-style modernization, and makes targeted deployments. For example, in response to insufficient effective demand, it requires "vigorously boosting consumption," "expanding effective investment," and "deepening the construction of a unified national market." By arranging major strategic tasks, it is possible to concentrate efforts in important areas and strive for breakthrough progress.
Emphasize balance. "Economic development and social development are mutually reinforcing and cannot be lopsided. The reason why the Five-Year Plan is called the National Economic and Social Development Plan is precisely this." Taking the 109 major projects in 6 aspects proposed in the draft outline of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" as an example, it involves both "hard investment" and "soft construction," taking into account the current and long-term, development and protection, effective market and promising government, and other relationships, and contains respect for and adherence to the laws.
"Firewood, rice, oil, salt, three meals, four seasons, every 'small family' is full of vitality, and China, this 'big family,' will flourish." The Five-Year Plan embodies the integration of the "big family" and the "small family." The Five-Year Plan is not unique to China, but China is the only country that insists on the continuous preparation and implementation of the Five-Year Plan, which reflects China's institutional advantage of concentrating resources to accomplish major tasks, which is also an important magic weapon for us to achieve our goals. By building consensus, making precise efforts, and taking into account overall planning, we will surely be able to shape new development advantages that lead the future in practice.

On the morning of March 9th, the second plenary meeting of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) was held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing (北京人民大会堂). The meeting heard and deliberated the work report of the Standing Committee of the NPC.
The deputies believed that over the past year, the Standing Committee of the NPC has adhered to Xi Jinping (习近平)'s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as guidance, adhered to the organic unity of the Party's leadership, the people being masters of the country, and the rule of law, practiced whole-process people's democracy, and performed its duties and responsibilities in accordance with the law, closely focusing on the construction of Chinese-style modernization. The deputies stated that 2026 is the opening year of the "15th Five-Year Plan," and under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, it is necessary to adhere to, improve, and operate the people's congress system well, promote the high-quality development of the work of the NPC while maintaining stability and seeking progress, and make due contributions to achieving a good start to the "15th Five-Year Plan."
Improving the Implementation and Supervision of the Constitution
◆ Uphold the status of the Constitution as the fundamental law of the country, earnestly fulfill the statutory duties of promoting the implementation of the Constitution and strengthening constitutional supervision, comprehensively implement the provisions, principles, and spirit of the Constitution in all work, and safeguard the authority and dignity of the Constitution.
"The life of the Constitution lies in its implementation, and the improvement of the constitutional legal system is an important way to implement the Constitution." Xiao Beigeng (肖北庚), a deputy and Dean of the Jiangwan Rule of Law and Public Policy Research Institute of Hunan Normal University (湖南师范大学), believes that the report mentions the formulation and improvement of constitutional-related laws such as the Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress, the Organic Law of Villagers Committees, and the Organic Law of Urban Residents Committees, which is a manifestation of transforming the principles and provisions in the Constitution into operable legal norms through legislation.
"The practices of promoting the spirit of the Constitution are specific and vivid. The Standing Committee of the NPC and the Constitution and Law Committee will carefully consider the constitutionality of each draft law during deliberation." Zhou Guangquan (周光权), Deputy Director of the Constitution and Law Committee of the NPC, said that the three draft laws, including the Environmental Code, submitted to the Congress for deliberation this time, have undergone constitutional review in accordance with the law during the deliberation stage of the Standing Committee meeting, striving to make each legislation conform to the spirit of the Constitution, reflect the authority of the Constitution, and ensure the implementation of the Constitution.
"The foundation of the Constitution lies in the people's heartfelt support, and the great power of the Constitution lies in the people's sincere belief." Tang Jingli (唐景丽), Principal of the No. 16 Middle School in Cangzhou (沧州市第十六中学), Hebei Province (河北省), said that the report mentioned that the Standing Committee of the NPC held the twelfth National Constitution Day symposium with the theme of "Strengthening the Implementation of the Constitution and Promoting Socialist Democracy and the Rule of Law," which is an effective measure to promote the fundamental law of the country to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the process of performing her duties, she also strives to promote the integration of constitutional education into the whole process of educating people. For example, the school where she works organizes activities such as constitutional morning reading, constitutional knowledge contests, simulated courts, simulated mediation, and constitutional oaths.
Serving and Safeguarding Reform and Development with High-Quality Legislation
◆ Adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee over legislative work, give play to the leading role of the NPC in legislative work, coordinate legislation, amendment, repeal, interpretation, and compilation, strengthen legislation in key areas, emerging areas, and foreign-related areas, and promote reform, development, and good governance with good laws.
Strengthening legislation in the economic field, improving legislation in the social and people's livelihood fields, and improving legislation in the ecological environment field... The work report of the Standing Committee of the NPC introduced the legislative work since the Third Session of the 14th NPC, leaving a deep impression on the deputies.
"In the past year, a total of 40 draft laws, legal interpretations, and decisions have been deliberated, and 24 of them have been adopted..." Wan Li (万立), Vice President of the All China Lawyers Association (中华全国律师协会), believes that in recent years, while promoting the efficient promulgation of laws in key areas, legislative work has paid more attention to the systematic planning and overall layout of legislation, and the quality and efficiency of legislation have been significantly improved, making legislation more precise, more effective, and more timely, escorting reform and development, and responding to the expectations of the people.
Liang Daihua (梁代华), Dean of the Research Institute of Gushen Biological Group (谷实生物集团), was deeply impressed by the legislative work in the economic field of the Standing Committee of the NPC in the past year: "The formulation of the Law on Promoting the Private Economy and the amendment of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law have given private enterprises more confidence in the business environment and more confidence in development; at the same time, it helps to promote the construction of a rule-of-law economy and a credit economy, promote the construction of a unified national market in depth, and accelerate the construction of a high-level socialist market economic system."
Compiling the Environmental Code is a major event in the legislative work of the NPC and its Standing Committee. Combining his practice of performing his duties, Ren Hai (任海), Dean of the Guangzhou Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院广州分院), said that the draft code fully reflects the theoretical, institutional, and practical achievements of ecological civilization construction in the new era.
"The NPC and its Standing Committee have continuously improved the level of scientific legislation, democratic legislation, and legislation in accordance with the law. Among them, the construction of grassroots legislative liaison points has been continuously strengthened." Liu Zhong (刘忠), an operator of the processing center of Sichuan Lingfeng Aviation Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. (四川凌峰航空液压机械有限公司), said that the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the NPC has set up a grassroots legislative liaison point in Sanxingdui (三星堆), Deyang (德阳), Sichuan (四川). Through this grassroots legislative liaison point, he has made suggestions on the legislation of the Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress and other laws. The grassroots legislative liaison point collects the legislative opinions and suggestions of the grassroots in their original flavor, making the whole process of people's democracy feelable, touchable, visible, and accessible.
Give Full Play to the Important Role of NPC Supervision in the Party and State Supervision System
◆ Adhere to correct supervision, effective supervision, and supervision in accordance with the law, strengthen the supervision of the implementation of the Constitution and laws and the work of the "one government, one commission, and two courts," ensure that state organs exercise their powers and perform their duties in accordance with the law, and ensure that the democratic rights and legitimate rights and interests of the people are maintained and realized.
Looking through the work report of the Standing Committee of the NPC, the "transcript" of the NPC's supervisory work in the past year is remarkable: coordinating arrangements to listen to and deliberate special work reports, strengthening the supervision of financial and economic work, doing a solid job in law enforcement inspections, and carefully organizing special research... The deputies said that the topics selected for the NPC's supervisory work are accurate, the work is solid, and the results are good.
"In the past year, a total of 22 reports on supervisory work have been heard and deliberated, the implementation of 5 laws has been inspected, 2 special inquiries and 11 special research projects have been organized, and 1 resolution has been made... This series of figures in the report reflects the continuous deepening and solidifying of the supervisory work of the Standing Committee of the NPC." Fang Yan (方燕), a senior partner at Beijing Jincheng Tongda Law Firm (北京金诚同达律师事务所), said that last year, she participated in the law enforcement inspection of the Food Safety Law carried out by the Standing Committee of the NPC. During the inspection process, she felt the strength, warmth, and depth of the supervisory work of the Standing Committee of the NPC. Such supervision effectively enhances the fundamental and long-term well-being of the people.
In addition to law enforcement inspections, there are also special inquiries. Zhang Jinlan (张锦岚), chief expert of China Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd. (中国船舶集团有限公司), participated in the special inquiry conducted by the Standing Committee of the NPC in October last year on the special report on the management of state-owned assets (excluding financial enterprises) in 2024. Zhang Jinlan (张锦岚) said: "As a 'tough move' of NPC supervision, the form of special inquiry is 'asking,' the key is 'answering,' and the purpose is 'changing,' and ultimately achieving the goal of absorbing public opinion and gathering public wisdom."
"Keeping an eye on the 'account books' and guarding the 'money bags' for the people is also an important responsibility of NPC supervision." Yang Yaqin (杨雅琴), Deputy Director of the Public Policy Research Center of Yunnan University of Finance and Economics (云南财经大学), said that in the past year, the Standing Committee of the NPC has continued to increase the review and supervision of budget final accounts, the supervision of the management of state-owned assets, the supervision of government debt management, and the supervision of the rectification of outstanding problems found in audits.
What impressed Yang Yaqin (杨雅琴) was that in December 2025, the Budget Work Committee of the Standing Committee of the NPC reported to the meeting of the Standing Committee of the NPC on the work of filing and reviewing fiscal budget matters carried out in 2025: "This is the first report on the filing and review of fiscal budget matters submitted for deliberation, which is not only a specific requirement for implementing the Budget Law, but also an innovative measure to improve the NPC's supervision system and strengthen the supervision of financial and economic work."
Better Play the Role of NPC Deputies
◆ Comprehensively implement the newly revised Deputies Law, continuously strengthen the capacity building of deputies' work, rely closely on deputies to do all kinds of work well, and support and guarantee that deputies perform their duties in accordance with the law.
"The 269 motions submitted by deputies during the Third Session of the 14th NPC have been deliberated and replied to the deputies" "The 9,160 suggestions submitted by deputies during the Congress and the 150 suggestions submitted during the adjournment have been handled and replied to the deputies"... Seeing these data in the report, the deputies expressed their satisfaction.
"Deputies' suggestions carry the voices of the people. Only by handling them well can we implement the whole process of people's democracy in practice." Zhang Zhaoli (张兆丽), a site administrator of Jiangsu Jiefeng Hat Industry (Siyang) Co., Ltd. (江苏捷锋帽业（泗阳）有限公司), introduced that she has put forward suggestions on electric bicycle fire safety and student care services during winter and summer vacations around issues of concern to the people. "After the suggestions are submitted, the deputies can learn about the progress of handling in a timely manner and promote continuous improvement of the problems."
"After the implementation of the newly revised Deputies Law, the service guarantee work for deputies to perform their duties has been effectively strengthened." Zhu Xiangxiang (祝响响), a teacher at Zhengzhai Town Central Primary School in Pujiang County (浦江县郑宅镇中心小学), Jinhua (金华), Zhejiang (浙江), said, "Last year, I participated in the study class for NPC deputies, coupled with the study and training of deputies throughout the year, which effectively improved my ability to perform my duties."
Hu Xiaoqing (胡小青), Deputy Director of the Oncology Department of Jiangxi Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital (江西省妇幼保健院), was deeply touched by the report's mention of "close contact between deputies and the people." "I once participated in the special research activity of 'sinking high-quality medical resources' organized by the Standing Committee of the NPC, and followed the research team to various levels of medical institutions throughout the process." Hu Xiaoqing (胡小青) said that under the organization of the Standing Committee of the NPC, deputies can better go deep into the front line and into the masses, and refine the good experiences and good practices of the grassroots.
Xu Xiao (徐晓), Vice Chairman of the Henan Federation of Industry and Commerce (河南省工商联), attended the meeting of the Standing Committee of the NPC last year. She said that in the past year, the Standing Committee has become more closely connected with the deputies: members of the Standing Committee maintain regular contact with NPC deputies, invite deputies to attend meetings of the Standing Committee, and solicit deputies' opinions on draft laws through the information platform for deputies' work... These measures help to play the role of deputies and contribute to the work of the NPC and other aspects.
Comprehensively Strengthen the Self-Construction of the Standing Committee
◆ In accordance with the requirements of building "four organs," comprehensively strengthen the Party building and self-construction of the NPC, work hard to improve the quality of work, and better shoulder the mission and tasks entrusted by the Party and the people.
The report mentioned that the Standing Committee of the NPC adheres to using Xi Jinping (习近平)'s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to strengthen its soul, consciously safeguards the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, adheres to the people-centered approach, and adheres to comprehensively governing the country according to law. Deepen theoretical study, hold 6 special lectures for the Standing Committee, carry out 6 collective studies of the Party Group of the Standing Committee, and promote the special committees and the organs of the NPC to implement a normalized learning mechanism.
Chen Erdong (陈耳东), Deputy Director of the Environmental and Resources Protection Work Committee of the Standing Committee of the Shanxi Provincial People's Congress (山西省人大常委会), said, "Our local people's congress standing committees at all levels should also improve themselves accordingly. For example, the Standing Committee of the Shanxi Provincial People's Congress pays attention to strengthening ideological and political construction, runs the Party's leadership through the whole process and all aspects of the work of the People's Congress, and earnestly fulfills the responsibilities entrusted by the Constitution and laws."
Hold a national symposium on local legislation, hold 4 training courses for responsible comrades of local people's congress standing committees, and 2 training courses on local legislation. Xie Weidong (谢卫东), Director of the Standing Committee of the Chaoyang Municipal People's Congress (朝阳市人大常委会) in Liaoning Province (辽宁省), said that strengthening contact and coordination with local people's congresses is also an important aspect of the Standing Committee of the NPC to strengthen its own construction. A series of arrangements and deployments by the Standing Committee of the NPC have effectively enhanced the ability of local people's congresses to perform their duties in accordance with the law, promoted the overall improvement of the quality and efficiency of the work of the People's Congress, and will inject new impetus into the establishment of a work pattern of the People's Congress that is connected from top to bottom and coordinated and linked.
"We have seen that the special committees and working committees earnestly fulfill their statutory duties, and have done a lot of solid and effective work in leading the drafting of draft laws, organizing the implementation of supervision projects, deliberating motions and reports, contacting and serving deputies, and carrying out foreign exchanges." Yu Anling (于安玲), Vice Chairman of the Jinan Municipal Committee of the China National Democratic Construction Association (民建山东省济宁市委), Shandong Province (山东省), said.
As a member of the Standing Committee of the NPC and a member of the Constitution and Law Committee of the NPC, Sun Xianzhong (孙宪忠) attaches importance to the investigation and research of practical problems. Last year alone, he visited Hebei (河北), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), Jiangxi (江西), Shandong (山东) and other places, and wrote legislative suggestions or reports based on these investigations. "The investigation and research and suggestions of the members of the Standing Committee further guarantee the quality of the formulation of relevant laws."

Deliverymen and couriers rush through streets and alleys, ride-hailing drivers connect travel routes with their steering wheels... The vast new employment groups have brought many conveniences to the work and lives of the people, and their daily well-being and rights protection also affect everyone's hearts. Recently, reporters connected with deputies and members of the CPPCC National Committee to ask them to offer suggestions for safeguarding the labor rights and interests of new employment groups.
The labor rights protection of new employment groups is an issue that Su Bin (粟斌), former director of the Rights Protection Department of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, has long been concerned about. During his visits, Su Bin clearly felt that the introduction of a series of policies has promoted the standardization of the work of protecting the rights and interests of new employment groups.
"In 2025, nine departments issued documents to expand the pilot project of occupational injury保障 (bǎo zhàng - "guarantee," safeguard) for new forms of employment personnel, further ensuring the bottom line of occupational injury保障 (bǎo zhàng - "guarantee," safeguard)," said Su Bin. "Another more direct change is that many platforms have paid social security for food delivery riders."
At the entrance of shopping malls at noon and under office buildings in the evening, Li Feng (李丰), purchasing manager of Shanghai Panda Machinery (Group) Co., Ltd. (上海熊猫机械（集团）有限公司), often stops and chats with food delivery riders and couriers.
"Having work to do, having保障 (bǎo zhàng - "guarantee," safeguard), and having a future are the expectations of the vast new employment groups," Li Feng introduced. When workers encounter disputes, they sometimes face problems such as difficulty in determining the main body and long periods of rights protection. In this regard, Li Feng suggested strengthening contract governance from the source, promoting the formulation of more complete and standardized contract templates, and clarifying the social security payment subject and the supervision responsibility of the contracting party.
When on business trips, Zou Bin (邹彬), chief quality supervisor of the China Construction Fifth Engineering Division Corp. Ltd. (中建五局总承包公司) project, often carries a notebook to record the demands of his fellow workers. He found that many practitioners are eager to have broader career development space. Based on feedback from fellow workers, Zou Bin called for the establishment of a training network, supporting enterprises to set up practical training bases, and encouraging vocational colleges to focus on new occupations and new types of work to offer skills courses.
"Only when workers have confidence in their hearts and a future in their eyes can the cornerstone of labor rights protection for new employment groups be more solid, and the quality of labor rights protection will be higher," said Zou Bin.

Solidifying the Safety Baseline with Judicial Rulings
Li Zhengguo (李正国), Member of the CPPCC National Committee (民盟四川省委会副主委): The People's Court lawfully tried the case of the "Four Big Families" criminal syndicate in Kokang, Northern Myanmar, sentenced 16 principal offenders to immediate execution according to law, and resolutely punished crimes committed outside the territory that infringe upon the rights of our citizens, demonstrating the sharpness of criminal punishment and effectively safeguarding public safety. To further enhance the people's sense of gain and security, it is recommended that the People's Court continue to earnestly carry out judicial recommendations, not only addressing the symptoms and treating existing illnesses but also focusing on prevention and addressing potential problems. Judicial recommendations should be made to relevant departments regarding emerging and widespread issues discovered during case handling to ensure timely plugging of loopholes.
Zhang Haibo (张海波), Representative (广东省高级人民法院院长): In recent years, new types of crimes such as "human flesh search," AI face-swapping, and non-contact drug trafficking have occurred from time to time, and the forms of crime have shown characteristics such as intelligence, cross-domain nature, and strong technical concealment. It is recommended to further strengthen the punishment of new types of crimes, and at the same time strengthen cross-departmental collaboration to jointly promote the prevention and source governance of new types of crimes.
Li Gang (李刚), Representative (湖北松之盛律师事务所合伙人): At present, with the rapid development of intelligent driving technology, whether a driver who uses assisted driving functions after drunk driving constitutes a crime has attracted widespread social attention. The People's Court responded to social concerns with judicial trials, clarifying that a driver who uses assisted driving functions after drunk driving should still bear criminal responsibility. Judicial rulings convey the value orientation that technological applications must abide by the legal bottom line, demonstrating that the safety baseline cannot be crossed.
Let the Rule of Law Become a "Reassurance Pill" for Secure Development
Bi Chunguang (毕春光), Representative (辽宁春光智能装备集团股份有限公司董事长): Maintaining fair market competition order with the rule of law can better break the "involution." The People's Court has strengthened judicial protection of intellectual property rights, giving full play to the effectiveness of measures such as preservation measures, preliminary judgments, and punitive damages, especially increasing the punishment of infringement in key areas, which has greatly boosted the confidence of innovative enterprises in development. It is recommended to further strengthen intellectual property trial work, so that the rule of law becomes a "firewall" for enterprises to resist unfair competition and a "reassurance pill" for secure development.
Zhao Xiangmo (赵祥模), Representative (陕西西安建筑科技大学校长): I have noticed that the People's Court has introduced specific measures to protect the private economy, severely punishing cases such as "online black mouths" that infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of private enterprises, promoting the resolution of pain points in enterprise development, and effectively implementing the basic principles, value orientations, and policy guidance of the Private Economy Promotion Law into specific trial enforcement work, boosting the confidence of private entrepreneurs in making their enterprises better, stronger, and more sustainable.
Ma Shigong (马世功), Representative (青海省海东市循化撒拉族自治县白庄镇苏呼撒村党支部书记、村委会主任): High bride prices cause a great economic burden on families and directly affect the quality of life. With the typical cases released by the People's Court, the village uses authoritative judgments of judicial organs to explain the law and reason, promote changing customs and habits, and lead the society to form a good atmosphere.
Wang Shuqian (王蜀黔), Member of the CPPCC National Committee (贵州师范学院院长): In performing its duties, the People's Court依法 protects the legitimate rights and interests of groups such as women, children, and the elderly, fully reflecting the People's Court's responsibility to ensure people's livelihood and well-being with strict and impartial justice. It is hoped that the judicial organs will continue to focus on the urgent needs and expectations of the masses, and safeguard the well-being of every family with more warm judicial practices.
Provide Institutional Guarantees to Enhance the Attractiveness of Investing in China
Wu Weiwei (吴微微), Representative (浙江省公安司法鉴定中心主任): Two foreign ships collided in the Strait of Malacca, and five countries had judicial jurisdiction. Two foreign companies jointly cast their vote of confidence to the Ningbo Maritime Court (宁波海事法院) of China. In recent years, more and more foreign parties have taken the initiative to choose the jurisdiction of our courts in cases that have no actual connection with our country, fully reflecting the fairness, professionalism, and efficiency of our foreign-related judiciary. It is recommended to continue to build a preferred place for dispute resolution, and in resolving foreign-related disputes, make good use of mediation, an "Oriental experience," to provide more Chinese wisdom for international dispute resolution.
Fei Gongquan (费功全), Member of the CPPCC National Committee (海天集团董事长): A market economy is a legal economy. The People's Court adheres to the principle of equal protection of the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese and foreign parties in accordance with the law, and creates a stable and predictable market environment through strict enforcement of the rule of law, so that all types of property owners and business entities can feel more at ease in the process of investment and business, demonstrating the achievements of China's rule of law construction and the image of a responsible major country, and the attractiveness of investing in China is constantly increasing.
Yi Fang (义芳), Member of the CPPCC National Committee (广西壮族自治区高级人民法院副院长): Strengthen the guidance of judicial rules and actively participate in global governance. The Convention on the Transferable Documents was reviewed and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, which is an international convention formed by China's judicial practice and promoting the innovation of international trade system. Extending the mature experience of the transferability of maritime bills of lading to various modes of transportation promotes the facilitation of cross-border multimodal transport and trade financing involving China-Europe freight trains and the "Belt and Road" initiative. It is recommended to further strengthen judicial trial work, form judicial practice samples with Chinese characteristics, and provide Chinese solutions in the formulation of global and regional rules.

From "Handling a Case" to "Governing a Region"
Wang Xiaotong (王效彤), Member (President of Shandong University of Political Science and Law (山东政法学院)): The procuratorial organs, based on the new changes in crime trends and structures, comprehensively and accurately implement the criminal policy of combining leniency and severity, and promote the allocation of more rule-of-law resources to the forefront of crime prevention. This reflects the change in judicial philosophy from "focusing on punishment" to "combining punishment and prevention, and strengthening governance," which not only meets the requirements of national governance modernization but also embodies the judicial wisdom of addressing the root causes and treating both the symptoms and the root causes.
Xiao Beigeng (肖北庚), Representative (Dean of the Jiangwan Rule of Law and Public Policy Research Institute of Hunan Normal University (湖南师范大学江湾法治与公共政策研究院)): The procuratorial organs punish crimes such as online defamation and online fraud in accordance with the law, and carry out online governance through public interest litigation. It is recommended to severely punish violators with the rule of law, consolidate the main responsibility of the platform, and make good use of artificial intelligence and other technologies to achieve accurate early warning and rapid disposal, and jointly create a clear online space.
Chen Xiaojing (陈小静), Representative (Party Branch Secretary and Director of the Village Committee of Yuantou Village, Yantan Town, Yongjia County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province (浙江省温州市永嘉县岩坦镇源头村党总支书记、村委会主任)): It is recommended that the procuratorial organs continue to promote the integration of socialist core values into rule-of-law publicity and education, and give full play to the positive role of procuratorial hearings in promoting public participation in justice, promoting the resolution of social conflicts, and carrying out legal publicity.
Li Baoping (李保平), Representative (Director of the Institute of Sociology and Law of the Ningxia Academy of Social Sciences (宁夏社会科学院社会学法学研究所)): While cracking down on crimes in accordance with the law, the procuratorial organs should also sink their forces to the grassroots level and strengthen source prevention and comprehensive governance. It is necessary to promptly put forward professional procuratorial suggestions targeting industry supervision loopholes and social governance issues found in handling cases, and promote the transition from "handling a case" to "governing a region."
Optimizing the Business Environment with More Practical Measures
Xia Yong (夏泳), Representative (Party Secretary, Chairman, and General Manager of China Mobile Communications Group Chongqing Co., Ltd. (中国移动通信集团重庆公司党委书记、董事长、总经理)): The procuratorial organs stabilize social expectations and boost development confidence by actively participating in special actions to regulate law enforcement involving enterprises and carrying out special supervision of irregular off-site law enforcement and profit-seeking law enforcement and judicial practices. It is recommended that the procuratorial organs further crack down on economic crimes in accordance with the law, equally protect business entities, strengthen law enforcement and judicial supervision involving enterprises, and continuously optimize a stable, fair, transparent, and predictable rule-of-law business environment with more practical measures, so that entrepreneurs can operate with peace of mind and focus on development.
Jiao Xingtao (焦兴涛), Member (President of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute (四川美术学院)): At present, intellectual property protection faces new challenges from "physical infringement" to "digital infringement," especially the copyright definition of artificial intelligence-generated objects urgently needs judicial response. It is recommended that the procuratorial organs pay more attention to cutting-edge legal issues in new forms and new fields of intellectual property, strengthen collaborative research with intellectual property administrative departments, judicial organs, and academia, and clarify the boundaries of legal application by issuing typical cases and introducing case-handling guidelines. At the same time, explore the establishment of a fast-track rights protection channel to reduce the cost of rights protection.
Su Ronghuan (苏荣欢), Representative (Teacher of Guangdong Polytechnic Normal University (广东职业技术学院) and Technical Consultant of Foshan Zhihui Lantian Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd.

It is recommended that the procuratorial organs focus on the realization of the "dual carbon" goal, biodiversity protection, and new pollutant governance, and actively and steadily expand the scope of public interest litigation cases. Deepen the ecological procuratorial model of "specialized supervision + restorative justice + social governance," strengthen cooperation and linkage with ecological environment, water conservancy, forestry, and other departments, and form a joint force for protection.
Protecting the Legitimate Rights and Interests of the People with Precise Law Enforcement and Justice
Shan Yang (单杨), Member (Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (中国工程院院士) and Director of Dongting Laboratory (洞庭实验室)): Food and drug safety is a major issue concerning the health and safety of the people. It is recommended that the procuratorial organs adhere to the dual-wheel drive of the rule of law thinking and technological empowerment, and can make full use of modern information technologies such as big data, blockchain, and artificial intelligence to build a smart traceability and risk early warning platform for food and drug safety, to achieve traceable sources, traceable destinations, and accountable responsibilities, and provide strong technical support for precise law enforcement and justice.

It is recommended that the procuratorial organs increase their efforts to urge enterprises to employ workers in accordance with laws and regulations, rectify employment discrimination in accordance with the law through special supervision actions, and strengthen procuratorial supervision in the fields of workplace safety production and occupational health protection to ensure that workers have equal employment, decent work, and safe work.
Xie Wenmin (谢文敏), Member (Director of Hubei Shouyi Law Firm (湖北省首义律师事务所)): Protecting minors requires the coordinated efforts of "six major protections" from families, schools, society, the Internet, the government, and the judiciary, and the procuratorial organs bear important legal supervision responsibilities in this regard. It is recommended that the procuratorial organs continue to increase their efforts to crack down on crimes against minors, and at the same time, pay more attention to the education, persuasion, and rescue of juvenile offenders. In areas involving minor guardianship, upbringing, campus safety, and online protection, comprehensively use various methods such as supporting litigation, procuratorial suggestions, and public interest litigation to urge relevant departments to perform their duties.

Return to TopLet "Good People and Good Deeds" Have No Worries
[Case] One day, Pan (潘某), Cao (曹某), and several friends were having dinner at a shopping mall in Shanghai (上海). When they walked out of the mall, Pan (潘某), because he was drunk, had a verbal conflict with Cao (曹某), and the two began to push each other.
Gao (戈某), who was nearby, quickly stepped forward to hug Pan (潘某) to mediate the fight. As a result, both of them fell to the ground, with Gao's (戈某) body pressing on Pan (潘某). Seeing this, Sun (孙某) came to pull the two apart, but failed and instead fell on top of Gao (戈某).
Pan (潘某) got up with a limp and discovered that his right foot was fractured. Afterwards, Pan (潘某) felt that his injury was caused by Gao (戈某) and Sun (孙某), and that they should compensate him for medical expenses and other losses.
Gao (戈某) and Sun (孙某), however, believed that they were acting out of good intentions to stop the fight and were not at fault, so they should not be held responsible. After unsuccessful negotiations, Pan (潘某) sued in court.
[Statement] The judge explained that mediating fights in urgent situations helps to resolve disputes and prevent the expansion of damages, which is worthy of encouragement and promotion.
The Civil Code clearly stipulates that rescuers shall not bear civil liability for damages caused to the assisted person as a result of voluntary emergency rescue actions.
In this case, the defendant Gao (戈某) and the plaintiff Pan (潘某) were friends before the incident. Subjectively, Gao (戈某) did not have the intention to harm Pan (潘某). At the same time, Gao (戈某) did not have any statutory or agreed rescue obligation and belonged to voluntary rescue, which meets the objective requirements of emergency rescue. In addition, the act of stopping the fight occurred when the plaintiff Pan (潘某) was in a heated dispute with others, and according to normal standards of understanding, the timing and scene reached a degree of urgency.
Therefore, the actions of Gao (戈某) and Sun (孙某), aimed at stopping the conflict between the two parties, were not illegal, and neither should bear any liability for compensation.
The core socialist values are a powerful force for uniting people and gathering public strength. Therefore, judicial judgments should not only punish evil but also promote good, support the courage to stand up, and protect the goodwill of mutual assistance. This case, through judicial judgment, grants necessary liability exemptions to benevolent rescuers, reflects encouragement and protection for those who dare to lend a helping hand, and conveys a signal of protecting "good people and good deeds."

Safeguarding "Safety Overhead"
[Case] One morning in August 2025, in a residential area in Haikou (海口市), Hainan (海南) Province, many sundries suddenly fell from the upper floors of a residential building, landing in the public area in front of street shops downstairs. The scene was a mess, and passers-by avoided them.
The public security authorities found that a man named Lin (林某) had been drinking all night the day before, and after returning home, he lost control of his emotions. He threw many items piled up in the corridor downstairs to vent his anger, including large items such as iron bars and fire equipment.
The high-altitude littering caused damage to the electric vehicles parked downstairs and the public facilities of the community. Fortunately, no casualties were caused.
The case was quickly transferred to the Longhua District People's Procuratorate (龙华区人民检察院) of Haikou (海口市).
In this case, high-altitude littering caused great risks to pedestrians on the road, but did not cause casualties. Should this behavior be held criminally responsible?
[Statement] The prosecutor introduced that this case is a typical case of high-altitude littering suspected of criminal offenses. The person involved threw a large number of items from a high floor, including fire equipment. Although it did not cause any actual casualties, it has endangered the lives of pedestrians on public roads and damaged public facilities, which is a greater social hazard and is suspected of the crime of high-altitude littering. In the end, after trial, the court made a judgment, finding Lin (林某) guilty of the crime of high-altitude littering, sentencing him to six months of imprisonment and a fine.
The problem of high-altitude littering is related to the personal safety of everyone and is also a matter of people's livelihood that the masses strongly reflect. It not only concerns morality, but also involves civil compensation, and may even constitute a crime. The Amendment to the Criminal Law (XI) added the crime of high-altitude littering. The newly revised Public Security Administration Punishment Law also lists high-altitude littering as a separate public security violation for the first time.
With the continuous improvement of the concept of the rule of law in the whole society, more and more residents are starting from themselves and consciously resisting high-altitude littering, which is both lacking in public morality and suspected of being illegal. The judicial organs should strengthen guidance, severely crack down on illegal and criminal acts, safeguard the personal and property safety of the people, and help form a good social atmosphere.

Green Electricity Empowers Logistics "Locking" Freshness
Logistics "locking" freshness cannot be separated from green electricity empowerment. It is recommended to gradually replace equipment such as forklifts and refrigerated transport vehicles with new energy models. Power supply companies should take the initiative to provide front-line services, conduct in-depth research on the production and operation of enterprises, accurately measure electricity load, and scientifically layout charging networks in combination with the layout planning of logistics parks, so that the circulation of urban and rural materials is more efficient, convenient, and environmentally friendly.
——Li Jianwei (李建卫) Representative (Deputy General Manager of Hebei Baoxin Logistics Co., Ltd. (河北宝信物流有限公司))
Internet Platforms Should Assume the Responsibility of Popular Science
Internet platforms should assume more popular science responsibilities and solve problems with technological innovation. Platforms should strengthen the combination of popular science and cutting-edge technology industries, and use VR, AR, artificial intelligence and other technologies to create digital and intelligent immersive popular science experience products. At the same time, it is necessary to promote the ecologicalization of popular science, focus on industrial integration, promote the deep integration of popular science with culture, tourism, sports, health and other industries, and form a new format of popular science.

Return to TopStepping into the Zhengtai Electric Northwest Industrial Park (正泰电气西北产业园) in Xianyang (咸阳) City, Shaanxi (陕西) Province, the robotic arms in the digital workshop precisely assemble and test power complete sets of equipment, with an automation rate exceeding 90%. In 2025, the park achieved an output value of 4.064 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36.65%. From project construction to production and operation, from capacity expansion to digital and intelligent upgrades, as the "chain leader" enterprise of the Shaanxi (陕西) power transmission and distribution industry chain, the development and growth of Zhengtai Electric (正泰电气) reflects the vigorous vitality of Xianyang's (咸阳) industrial development.
In order to strengthen scientific and technological innovation and build a modern industrial system, Xianyang (咸阳) has seized the strategic opportunity of Xi'an-Xianyang (西安—咸阳) integration, taking innovation as the engine, collaboration as the link, and clusters as the support to promote industrial upgrading. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the total economic volume exceeded the 300 billion yuan mark, blazing a distinctive path of high-quality industrial development.
Synergistic Coexistence
Integrating into the Metropolitan Area, Activating New Industrial Momentum
At the beginning of the new year, at the project site of China XD Group Xianyang (中国西电集团咸阳) Smart Industrial Park, workers are busy installing equipment and debugging production lines. The project has a total investment of 1.364 billion yuan and is a Xi'an-Xianyang (西安—咸阳) integration demonstration project. After reaching full production, the annual output value will exceed 1.2 billion yuan, driving employment for thousands of people and becoming a model of industrial synergy between Xi'an (西安) and Xianyang (咸阳).
Seizing the major opportunity of Xi'an-Xianyang (西安—咸阳) integration construction, Xianyang (咸阳) has built a solid foundation for collaboration with hard transportation connections. The reconstruction and expansion project of the Xixing Expressway (西兴高速) has been completed and opened to traffic, and the Lianhuo Expressway (连霍高速) Fuzhai Interchange project has started construction. The Xi'an-Xianyang (西咸) "half-hour commuting circle" has been fully formed, making the flow of personnel, materials, technology, and other factors more convenient and efficient.
The Jingyang County (泾阳县) Precision Measurement Equipment Industrial Base, invested and constructed by Xi'an Depusai Ke Measurement Equipment Co., Ltd. (西安德普赛科计量设备有限责任公司), relies on Xianyang's (咸阳) high-quality manufacturing support and convenient collaborative conditions to supply high-precision measurement equipment products to fields such as aerospace and new energy vehicles. The key to the company's choice to locate the industrial base in Jingyang County (泾阳县) is that Jingyang (泾阳) is located in the core area of the Xi'an (西安) metropolitan area, where an efficient linkage of "Xi'an (西安) R&D, Xianyang (咸阳) transformation" can be formed.
The flow of Xi'an-Xianyang (西咸) factors has changed from the past unidirectional siphon of Xi'an (西安) to a virtuous cycle of siphon and spillover coexistence. The two places have jointly built 8 industrial chain clusters. FAWSI (法士特), LONGi Green Energy (隆基绿能) and other "chain leader" enterprises have successively settled in Xianyang (咸阳), and the achievement transformation enterprises of 44 universities and research institutes in Xi'an (西安) have taken root in Xianyang (咸阳), forming a clear model of "Xi'an (西安) R&D, Xianyang (咸阳) transformation" and "Xi'an (西安) manufacturing, Xianyang (咸阳) supporting".
At the same time, Xianyang (咸阳) released 54 industrial chain supply and demand lists. In 2025, 21 investment projects from Xi'an (西安) were launched in Xianyang (咸阳), with a total investment of 8.6 billion yuan, and cross-regional innovation cooperation continued to deepen.
Innovation Empowerment
From the Laboratory to the Production Line, Releasing Intelligent Manufacturing Vitality
On February 2, China's (我国) first 13-ton titanium alloy billet produced by Shaanxi Tiancheng Aviation Materials Co., Ltd. (陕西天成航空材料股份有限公司) was successfully delivered. It took only 87 days from the design, research and development to the completion of the titanium alloy billet. The company's technical team overcame several technical difficulties in the manufacture of large-tonnage titanium alloys, providing key material support for the independentization of China's (我国) major equipment.
Focusing on "new" development and breaking through "quality". These innovative achievements born in the laboratory are moving towards the production line through the bridge of deep integration of "industry, academia, research and application", injecting momentum into the transformation and upgrading of Xianyang's (咸阳) manufacturing industry and promoting the accelerated formation of new quality productive forces. Liquan County (礼泉县) in Xianyang (咸阳) City has built the province's first county-level science and technology innovation "enclave" - Liquan High-tech Zone (礼泉高新区) Science and Technology Innovation Enclave settled in Xi'an (西安), realizing "Xi'an (西安) R&D, Xianyang (咸阳) transformation"; Xi'an Jiaotong University (西安交通大学) Innovation Port Xianyang New Area (创新港咸阳新区) was signed and landed, and the Photon Technology Laboratory was included in the Shaanxi (陕西) Laboratory cultivation scope. A series of measures promoted the efficient linkage of Xi'an-Xianyang (西咸) science and technology innovation resources.
While strengthening the synergy of "industry, academia, research and application", Xianyang (咸阳) is also continuing to exert efforts in the field of digital empowerment. Deeply promoting "intelligent transformation and digital transformation", a total of 520 enterprises above designated size have been transformed, 17 provincial-level or above intelligent manufacturing demonstration enterprises have been cultivated, and 21 advanced-level intelligent factories have been built.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Xianyang's (咸阳) industry has continuously cultivated new strengths, successfully entering the national top 100 innovative cities. The number of specialized and new "little giant" enterprises has increased from 16 to 169, and the number of high-tech enterprises and technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises has increased by 3.5 times and 5.5 times respectively compared with the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan". Xianyang's (咸阳) "manufacturing highland" is accelerating its formation.
Cluster Efforts
Building a Strong Industrial Chain and Cultivating New Engines for High-Quality Development
Robotic arms operate precisely, and testing instruments run non-stop. In the cold end workshop of the G8.5+ substrate glass production line of Rainbow Display Devices Co., Ltd. (彩虹显示器件股份有限公司), a piece of substrate glass is sent to the adjacent enterprise for processing immediately after it comes off the line.
Upstairs and downstairs are upstream and downstream, and the factory next door is the supply chain. With Xianyang Rainbow Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (咸阳彩虹光电科技有限公司) as the leader, Xianyang High-tech Zone (咸阳高新区) has gathered more than 50 upstream and downstream enterprises, forming a complete industrial chain from quartz sand to display terminals, and a trillion-level new display industry cluster is accelerating its formation.

Both Sides of the Strait are One Family
In October last year, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (全国人大常委会) passed a decision on the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's Retrocession, designating October 25 as "Taiwan Retrocession Day." Zhou Qi (周琪), President of the Liaoning Provincial Federation of Taiwan Compatriots (辽宁省台湾同胞联谊会), said that this is not only a solemn commemoration of history, but also once again demonstrates the historical and legal fact that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China.
In the history of the national war of resistance against Japanese aggression, Taiwan compatriots have never been absent. "History clearly shows that Taiwan's retrocession is the victorious result of the national war of resistance against Japanese aggression, which was achieved by all Chinese sons and daughters, including Taiwan compatriots, who fought bravely and shed their blood. Any 'Taiwan independence' historical view that attempts to distort this history and sever the ties between the two sides of the strait is a betrayal of history and a blasphemy against the martyrs," he said.
Looking to the future, it is necessary to continue to inherit and carry forward the great spirit of resistance against Japanese aggression condensed by compatriots on both sides of the strait. "We will be committed to promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, deepening cross-strait integrated development, resolutely opposing 'Taiwan independence' separatism and external interference, and safeguarding the common home of the Chinese nation." Zhou Qi (周琪) said that he believes that as long as compatriots on both sides of the strait work together, share national righteousness, and share development opportunities, they will surely be able to create a better future for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

"The Government Work Report proposes to accelerate the cultivation and growth of new drivers of development, making our future direction of efforts clearer," said Zhong Zheng (钟铮), Vice President and CFO of Midea Group (美的集团) and a deputy to the National People's Congress.
Wandong Medical (万东医疗), a subsidiary of Midea Group, has independently developed a liquid helium-free superconducting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device over more than 10 years, which has been put into use in nearly 20 helium-poor countries such as Somalia and Uzbekistan. Domestically produced high-end equipment is gradually breaking through the international mutual recognition barriers of registration qualifications, competing on the same stage with multinational giants.
"A mature domestically produced medical device, after being confirmed qualified in domestic clinical trials, still has to undergo repeated registration and testing when going overseas. The CE certification cost for just one category can be as high as millions of yuan, and the listing cycle often takes one to two years." At the end of 2023, in the R&D laboratory of Wandong Medical, Deputy Zhong Zheng held thick research notes in her hand, listening to the voices of R&D personnel while carefully recording the pain points and difficulties of domestic medical devices going overseas.
From that day on, Deputy Zhong Zheng made promoting international mutual recognition of medical device registration qualifications her priority, walking out of the office, into the R&D workshop, into foreign trade companies, and into industry associations. Wherever there were confusions about medical devices going overseas, there was her research.
"Promoting international mutual recognition of medical device registration qualifications is not only a practical need to solve the problem of enterprises going overseas, but also a strategic measure to promote China's transition from a major medical device manufacturing country to a strong innovation country." At this year's National People's Congress, Deputy Zhong Zheng proposed launching the "China Medical Device Registration Qualification International Mutual Recognition Promotion Project," building a bilateral to multilateral official mutual recognition cooperation network, piloting a "China Certification Green Channel," and encouraging leading companies in the industry to "systematically go overseas," to promote international mutual recognition of China's medical device registration qualifications and help the high-level overseas development of the industry.
Deputy Zhong Zheng said that she hopes that relevant suggestions will be gradually implemented in the regulatory mutual recognition of medical devices in countries jointly building the "Belt and Road" (一带一路). She will continue to root herself in the industry, listen to the voices of the people, and transform the expectations of enterprises and the demands of the industry into practical and feasible suggestions, promote the gradual improvement of China's international mutual recognition system for medical device registration qualifications, and allow more Chinese-made products to go abroad and benefit patients worldwide.

Today, the company's intelligent garment production line operates efficiently, the weaving workshop has completed intelligent transformation, and key projects such as digital printing and energy-saving transformation of energy-consuming equipment have been implemented one after another.
In recent years, the company's R&D investment has consistently remained above 3.5%, passed the national high-tech enterprise certification, built a provincial-level enterprise technology center and industrial design center, 14 technologies were selected into the promotion catalog of the China Cotton Textile Industry Association (中国棉纺织行业协会), and a total of 49 patents were obtained.
"New quality productive forces are achieved step by step." Representative Wan Bin (宛斌) found Feng Tao (冯涛), the leader of the Information Construction, Operation and Maintenance Team of the Digitalization Department of State Grid Liaocheng Power Supply Company (国网聊城供电公司), to discuss technology implementation and find sparks of inspiration. Combining his own work experience in power digitalization, Feng Tao (冯涛) also gave suggestions on the integrated development model of "AI + Textile + Power."
"Our focus is on the same keyword - digitalization. Next, we will integrate digital and intelligent technologies into the entire production process like 'embroidery,' stitch by stitch, to embroider a new picture of process optimization and precise control," said Representative Wan Bin (宛斌).

Return to TopIn the verdant hills and clear waters of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, a fingertip skill passed down for thousands of years is bursting forth with unprecedented vitality. Yi embroidery of Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture (楚雄彝族自治州) in Yunnan Province is a provincial intangible cultural heritage of Yunnan Province. In recent years, Chuxiong Prefecture has taken Chuxiong Yi embroidery as a carrier to promote the deep integration of cultural inheritance and people's livelihood development, exploring a characteristic industrial development path of "leaving the land but not the countryside, employment without leaving home," transforming the ancient handicraft into a warm and prosperous industry and a shining international name card, embroidering a magnificent picture of non-heritage protection, industrial revitalization, and rural prosperity complementing each other.
On-site Employment: Stitch by Stitch "Embroidering" a Picture of Prosperity
Chuxiong Prefecture focuses on the employment needs of key groups and innovatively constructs a four-level industrial network of "parks in regions, enterprises in counties, workshops in townships, and embroidery workshops in villages." It unites with Yi embroidery enterprises in Sichuan, Guizhou, and other provinces to integrate resources and develop together, forming a cross-regional collaborative and brand-led development model, creating a national Yi embroidery industry community, and building a new pattern of high-quality development of the Yi embroidery industry.
Currently, Chuxiong Prefecture has built 77 Yi embroidery employment workshops and 513 village-level embroidery workshops, driving 62,000 rural women, people lifted out of poverty, and people with disabilities to find employment nearby. In 2025, the added value of the Yi embroidery industry in Chuxiong Prefecture reached 344 million yuan, maintaining double-digit growth for four consecutive years.
Organizational Empowerment: Collaborative Mechanisms Stimulate Market Vitality
In the past, scattered embroiderers were "fighting alone" and found it difficult to meet the large-scale needs of the market. To solve this problem, Chuxiong Prefecture took the lead in establishing a special working group for the Yi embroidery industry, building a collaborative mechanism of "enterprise + cooperative + embroidery workshop + embroiderer" to achieve "zero cost, zero risk, and stable income" for embroiderers. At the same time, a dividend model is promoted, forming a driving effect of "one person leading one household, one household leading one area," truly making Yi embroidery skills a sustainable source of income for the masses.
Branding is a key leap in industrial upgrading. In 2024, the Chuxiong Yi Ethnic Handmade Embroidery Production Technology Group Standard was released, and "Chuxiong Yi Embroidery" is promoting the international registration of the Madrid trademark. At the same time, the "Chuxiong Fashion Week" brand was successfully incubated, promoting the cross-border integration of Yi embroidery with Mazu culture (妈祖文化) and internationally renowned sports brands, and co-branded cultural and creative products radiated to 45 countries and regions. On the new Chengdu-Kunming Railway (成昆铁路) connecting Yunnan and Sichuan, a series of "Chuxiong Yi Embroidery" special trains shuttle back and forth, allowing the thousand-year-old intangible cultural heritage to take the high-speed train and become a mobile cultural name card.
Going Global: Folk Skills Shine on the International Stage
Chuxiong Yi embroidery, an ancient fingertip art that has been passed down locally for thousands of years, is closely grasping the pulse of the times for Chinese culture to go global, and is using its profound national heritage to dialogue with the international fashion frontier. Chuxiong Yi ethnic costumes derived from Chuxiong Yi embroidery are a national intangible cultural heritage. In recent years, Chuxiong Yi embroidery series works have appeared successively at the main venues of Milan, New York, Paris, and other international fashion weeks, allowing the embroidery art containing Eastern philosophy and aesthetic wisdom to win high recognition from the international fashion industry.
Since 2022, Chuxiong Prefecture has established 32 Yi embroidery communication stations overseas, and Chuxiong Yi embroidery products have been sold to countries and regions such as the United Kingdom, France, and Italy; Chuxiong Fashion Week-related activities have topped the Weibo hot search list twice, and a series of activities such as the "Yi Embroidery Show" have made Yi embroidery a vivid carrier for conveying cultural confidence. Today, Yi embroidery and Mazu culture jointly develop cultural and creative products, Yi embroidery horse-face skirts have become popular items, and they have also been selected as official licensed products for the 2026 World Cup, entering the international mainstream market.
Looking to the future, Chuxiong Prefecture will focus on building China's largest non-heritage show, cultivating Yi embroidery listed companies, and other goals, implement ten actions to improve the quality and efficiency of the industry, and strive to build a new highland for the development of national non-heritage cultural and creative industries. Thousands of stitches, ingenuity forever. This ancient fingertip art of Chuxiong Yi embroidery is embroidering a broader international market along the "Belt and Road" (一带一路), injecting lasting and profound cultural impetus into promoting the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.

Currently, digital technologies such as artificial intelligence are bringing profound changes to the production methods, lifestyles, and governance methods of human society. China's deep integration and coordinated transformation of digitalization and greening have entered a new stage of comprehensive and high-level in-depth advancement. In the first volume of "Xi Jinping's Anthology on Ecological Civilization (习近平生态文明文选)," General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Deepen the application of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, build a digital governance system for a beautiful China, and construct a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization." This important exposition profoundly grasps the general trend of world science and technology development, focuses on the overall layout of digital China construction, and puts forward clear requirements for artificial intelligence and other digital technologies to empower ecological civilization construction. Building a digital governance system for a beautiful China and constructing a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization are important contents of China's current ecological civilization construction, and also a strategic task for drawing a new picture of a beautiful China.
Deeply Understanding the Great Significance of Digital Ecological Civilization Construction
Constructing a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization and promoting the empowerment of ecological civilization construction by digital technologies such as artificial intelligence are strategic moves that conform to the general trend and focus on the long term, and are an inevitable requirement for advancing Chinese-style modernization, with great and far-reaching significance.
It helps to seize the opportunities of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and promote ecological civilization construction into the intelligent era. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that artificial intelligence is "promoting human society to usher in an intelligent era of human-machine collaboration, cross-border integration, and co-creation and sharing." Following the steam engine, electricity, and the Internet, digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, as another epoch-making transformative technology, are accelerating the drive of economic and social development towards a new stage of intelligence. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core regards accelerating the development of a new generation of artificial intelligence as a strategic issue concerning whether China can seize the opportunities of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and plans and deploys ahead of time. The "Overall Layout Plan for Digital China Construction" issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council proposes to promote the deep integration of digital technology with the "five-in-one" construction of economy, politics, culture, society, and ecological civilization. The "Suggestions of the CPC Central Committee on Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" (hereinafter referred to as the "Suggestions") adopted by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee takes "deeply promoting the construction of digital China" as an important content, emphasizing that artificial intelligence should comprehensively empower all industries. Digital ecological civilization construction is an inherent requirement of digital China construction. At present, China is building cross-regional digital governance systems in some key areas such as the Yangtze River Basin, but digital ecological civilization construction is still in its initial stage, and there are still considerable gaps compared with actual needs in digital infrastructure construction, data standard specification system construction, transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements, and digital ecological civilization talent cultivation. Building a digital governance system for a beautiful China and constructing a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization are conducive to seizing the major opportunities for the vigorous development of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, vigorously developing new quality productive forces, accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system supported by the real economy and characterized by intelligence, greening, and integration, actively exploring new technologies, new industries, new formats, and new models for ecological environment governance, and promoting ecological civilization construction to enter the intelligent era as soon as possible.
It helps to comprehensively promote the construction of a beautiful China and promote the realization of a modernized society where humans and nature coexist harmoniously. Chinese-style modernization is a modernization in which humans and nature coexist harmoniously. Since the new era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core has placed ecological civilization construction in a prominent position in the overall work, and the construction of a beautiful China has taken major steps. China's ecological and environmental protection has undergone historic, transformative, and comprehensive changes, creating world-renowned ecological miracles and green development miracles. At present, China's economic and social development has entered a stage of high-quality development that accelerates greening and low-carbonization, but the structural, root, and trend pressures of ecological and environmental protection have not been fundamentally alleviated, the long-term mechanism for green and low-carbon development needs to be improved, and ecological civilization construction is still in a critical period of superimposed pressure and heavy burden. The task of building a beautiful China is still arduous. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the integration of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence into the ecological environment governance system, continuously improve the scientific, refined, and intelligent level of ecological civilization construction, build a "digital intelligence barrier" for green mountains and clear waters, enrich ecological products with "digital intelligence nutrients," promote significant improvements in the urban and rural living environment, and efficiently enhance the "appearance" of a beautiful China, providing high-quality ecological environment support for realizing Chinese-style modernization in which humans and nature coexist harmoniously.
It helps to enhance the ability of ecological environment governance and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Ecological environment governance is the core link in the construction of a beautiful China, and the modernization of the ecological environment governance system and governance capacity is an important part of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Since the new era, China's ecological environment governance capacity has been effectively improved through practices such as forging the sharp sword of environmental protection supervision, implementing ecological and environmental protection responsibilities, improving the policy and system system, and building a "big environmental protection" work pattern. Traditional governance methods are often limited by factors such as small total amount of information, multiple information filtering, and slow hierarchical transmission, and there are limitations such as information asymmetry, untimely response, low efficiency, and high cost. Building a digital governance system for a beautiful China, through efficient and scientific data aggregation and the empowerment of ecological environment governance by digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, can effectively enhance the capabilities of top-level design, overall coordination, monitoring and perception, early warning and forecasting, and emergency response, providing all-round, whole-process, and all-weather intelligent support for ecological environment governance. Digital empowerment of ecological environment governance and promotion of the modernization of the ecological environment governance system and governance capacity will surely open up a new world of governance in China's ecological civilization field and help the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity to a new level.
It helps to form green and intelligent production and lifestyles and meet the people's needs for a beautiful green life. Entering the new era, the main social contradiction in China has been transformed into the contradiction between the people's growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and insufficient development. The people's needs for green production, smart life, and beautiful ecology are becoming increasingly strong. China is driving the transformation of economic and social development in a systematic and in-depth manner with digital and green dual wheels, realizing the coordinated improvement of ecological, economic, and social benefits, and the people's sense of gain and happiness has been significantly enhanced. At the same time, the coordinated transformation of digitalization and greening still faces many challenges. The proportion of high-energy-consuming industries is still relatively high, the public's awareness of green and low-carbon is still to be improved, and there is still a lot of room for the formation of green and intelligent production and lifestyles. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Starting from the needs of guaranteeing and improving people's livelihood and creating a better life for the people, promote the deep application of artificial intelligence in people's daily work, study, and life, and create more intelligent work and lifestyles." The "Suggestions" of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee made important deployments on "accelerating the formation of green production and lifestyles." Constructing a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization, deepening the coordinated transformation of economic and social development digitalization and greening, using digital technologies such as artificial intelligence to empower production and life, allowing people to learn more conveniently, work more efficiently, and live more comfortably, making the sky bluer, the land greener, and the water clearer, and making the beautiful mountains and rivers more colorful, is an important way to promote the people's sharing of ecological welfare, improve the happiness index, and live a better life.
Accurately Grasping the Basic Direction and Requirements of Digital Ecological Civilization Construction
There is no precedent to follow and lack of experience support for constructing a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization. We should not only encourage active exploration, but also pay attention to strengthening guidance and standardize it in terms of development direction, system guarantee, supporting power, and work layout.
Adhere to people-oriented and intelligent-for-good, and ensure the correct direction. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Create an open, inclusive, and non-discriminatory digital economy environment, adhere to people-oriented and intelligent-for-good," "promote the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence in a beneficial, safe, and fair direction," and "ensure that artificial intelligence is for good and benefits all mankind." These important expositions are a profound reflection of the people-centered development thought, an important basis for the rule governance of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, and also the basic guidelines for building a digital governance system for a beautiful China and constructing a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization. We must adhere to being people-oriented, effectively empower the improvement of ecological environment governance through digital technology, and allow the broad masses of people to fully enjoy the benefits of technological progress and enjoy the benefits of ecological civilization. We must highlight intelligent-for-good, take "beneficial, safe, and fair" as the development direction, accelerate the construction of a greener and more intelligent digital ecological civilization, accurately prevent and resolve safety risks, and enhance the inclusiveness of artificial intelligence to empower sustainable development. In accordance with the goal of "benefiting all mankind," we must strengthen international ecological environment digital governance cooperation, and better promote the progress of human civilization and build a community with a shared future for mankind with China's solutions and wisdom for digital ecological civilization construction.
Adhere to policy guidance and improve mechanisms to strengthen system guarantees. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core has profoundly understood the strategic significance of developing digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, launched a series of major strategic measures, and made good preparations for building a digital governance system for a beautiful China and constructing a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization. The "Overall Layout Plan for Digital China Construction" issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council takes the construction of a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization as an important content. The "Opinions on Deeply Implementing the 'Artificial Intelligence+' Action" issued by the State Council proposes requirements such as "jointly drawing a new picture of ecological governance for a beautiful China" and "promoting the construction of an intelligent and collaborative precision governance model." The "Suggestions" of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee made deployments on accelerating the innovation of digital intelligence technologies such as artificial intelligence, strengthening the combination of artificial intelligence with industrial development, cultural construction, people's livelihood security, and social governance, and comprehensively empowering all industries. We must seize the entry points and key valves for artificial intelligence to empower ecological civilization construction, further propose practical policy systems, working mechanisms, and implementation measures, and provide more powerful policy support and system guarantees for building a digital governance system for a beautiful China and constructing a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization.
Adhere to scientific and technological innovation and cultivate momentum to consolidate the technical support. At present, digital technologies such as artificial intelligence are developing rapidly, and competition among countries in the field of artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly fierce. Science and technology are the primary productive force and the primary competitiveness. Whoever has the faster speed of technological innovation has the advantage of seizing the commanding heights. In recent years, China's comprehensive strength in artificial intelligence has achieved an overall and systematic leap. The number of artificial intelligence patents accounts for 60% of the global total. The overall development of artificial intelligence has entered the first echelon in the world. Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence are penetrating and empowering all industries with unprecedented speed, breadth, and depth. We must further promote the accelerated iteration of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, accelerate the launch of more green and low-carbon new technologies, new industries, and new formats, open up diversified innovative application scenarios for ecological environment governance, promote the transformation of traditional governance models to digital intelligence, and consolidate the technical foundation for constructing a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization.
Adhere to the concept of system and coordinated development to promote simultaneous efforts. Constructing a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization is an organic component of the overall layout of digital China construction. We must adhere to the concept of system and coordinated development, and grasp the relationship between one field and the overall situation, part and whole, individual and system. Actively promote the construction of a digital governance system for a beautiful China, and continuously explore paths and accumulate experience. Promote the integration of digital ecological civilization construction into the overall national development, and make simultaneous efforts and coordinated development with the overall work. With the significant achievements in the improvement of digital governance capabilities, system construction, and work promotion of a beautiful China, we can strongly support the construction of a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization, effectively promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and better serve the "five-in-one" overall layout and serve the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.
Taking the Construction of a Digital Governance System for a Beautiful China as the Starting Point to Promote the Construction of a Green and Intelligent Digital Ecological Civilization
During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, digital technologies such as artificial intelligence will develop rapidly and be more widely and deeply applied. To this end, we must take the construction of a digital governance system for a beautiful China as the starting point to promote the construction of a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization.
Build a smart and efficient ecological environment information system and strengthen the digital governance infrastructure of a beautiful China. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Accelerate the improvement of digital infrastructure" and "build a national information resource sharing system." The "Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Comprehensively Promoting the Construction of a Beautiful China" proposes "implementing an ecological environment information project." The governance of a beautiful China is a systematic project, and big data and informationization are the foundation of this systematic project. We must use technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and blockchain to deeply mine, generate, integrate, and share ecological environment data resources, enrich digital applications in the field of ecological governance, and accelerate the construction of a smart and efficient ecological environment information system. The focus is on using digital technology to promote the integrated protection and systematic governance of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, and grasslands, improve the three-dimensional "one map" of natural resources and the basic information platform of territorial space, build a smart water conservancy system with a digital twin basin as the core, and create an intelligent governance information system for the ecological environment from the top of the mountain to the ocean, and improve the integrity, systematicness, and coordination of digital ecological civilization construction.
Promote the empowerment of digital intelligence in the ecological environment governance model and establish and improve the working mechanism of digital governance for a beautiful China. Use digital technology to empower ecological environment monitoring, analysis, prediction, early warning, decision-making, and supervision, build a full-process intelligent governance model, and promote the efficiency, coordination, and precision of governance. We must establish an intelligent monitoring and analysis system, build an integrated monitoring network of sky, land, and sea, create an ecological environment "thousand-mile eye" and "clairaudient ear," and real-time perceive key elements such as PM2.5, water quality, soil, and biodiversity, and timely and accurately identify pollution sources and ecological risk points. Improve the intelligent prediction and early warning mechanism, develop relevant data large models according to different scenarios, and pilot the "one map," "one network," and "one game of chess" for atmospheric pollution, water quality changes, soil environment, and ecological risks in some key areas to improve prediction accuracy and early warning speed. Improve the intelligent auxiliary decision-making mechanism, carry out comprehensive research and judgment on the basis of information integration, analyze and grasp the actual situation from multiple angles and in all aspects, use big data technology and digital twin technology to conduct "sand table deduction" of ecological governance programs, provide scientific basis for ecological environment governance, and improve the scientific and accuracy of decision-making. Actively explore the intelligent supervision mechanism, promote the application of the "artificial intelligence + supervision" model at multiple levels, and promote smart supervision and law enforcement such as non-site, all-time, penetrating, and non-sensing, so that supervision methods are richer, processes are faster, and results are more accurate.
Promote the coordinated transformation of digitalization and greening and deepen the comprehensive benefits of digital governance for a beautiful China. Constructing a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization requires combining digital technology with ecological environment governance, promoting the deep integration and coordinated transformation of digitalization and greening, improving the ability of ecological environment governance, and supporting high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment. We will promote digital upgrading and green transformation in an integrated manner, and continuously improve the technological content and green background of high-quality development. We must continue to fight the tough battle against pollution prevention and control through digital empowerment and green transformation, and better treat pollution accurately and scientifically; accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of development methods and accelerate the formation of green production methods and lifestyles; continuously improve the diversity, stability, and sustainability of ecosystems and increase the intelligent protection of ecosystems; vigorously develop emerging industries and future industries in the ecological field, and broaden the path for transforming green waters and green mountains into golden mountains and silver mountains; actively and steadily promote carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, implement the "1+N" policy system for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and simultaneously achieve carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth. With the significant achievements in the coordinated transformation of digitalization and greening, we will achieve the simultaneous promotion of high-quality development and high-level protection.
Coordinate resources and gather strength to play a "combined punch," and improve the digital governance guarantee system for a beautiful China. Digital governance for a beautiful China is a long and broad undertaking, and it is necessary to provide solid guarantees from multiple dimensions such as concepts, policies, markets, talents, and security. We must fully and accurately implement the new development concept, strengthen national digital intelligence quality education, advocate green and intelligent lifestyles, and truly integrate green concepts and digital intelligence concepts into the daily lives of thousands of households, consolidating the social foundation for digital governance of a beautiful China. Improve the policy system for digital ecological civilization construction, improve relevant laws, regulations, and rules, promote the deep integration of digital technology and ecological environment governance, promote the emergence of digital intelligence achievements in the ecological environment field, and promote data opening and sharing under the premise of ensuring security. Through the combination of an effective market and a promising government, mobilize market forces to actively participate in the intelligent governance of the ecological environment field, and promote ecological civilization construction into a new stage of government guidance, market participation, national action, and digital intelligence assistance. Increase the efforts in talent cultivation in the field of digital ecological civilization, strengthen the construction of related interdisciplinary disciplines, create a good environment conducive to cutting-edge research, and create a high-quality composite talent team that both understands digital technology and is good at ecological environment governance. Implement the overall national security concept, build a solid security bottom line for digital governance, effectively respond to various risks and challenges, powerfully guarantee the achievements of digital ecological civilization construction, and strive to write a brilliant new chapter in the construction of a beautiful China.

General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Communists are materialists, pragmatism is an essential quality, and we must seek truth from facts, be pragmatic, and work hard." Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中共中央办公厅) issued the "Notice on Carrying Out Study and Education on Establishing and Practicing a Correct View of Performance in the Whole Party," clarifying that "we should educate and guide party organizations and party members and cadres at all levels to adhere to seeking truth from facts and being pragmatic." To adhere to seeking truth from facts and being pragmatic, we must organically unify hard work and practical results. Party members and cadres must constantly remind themselves to firmly adhere to seeking truth from facts and being pragmatic, not to fall into the "vicious circle of busywork" of being busy without benefit or success, and truly achieve practical results and achievements through hard work.
The "15th Five-Year Plan" period is a crucial period for consolidating the foundation and fully exerting efforts to basically realize socialist modernization. Party members and cadres should be busy promoting high-quality economic and social development and promoting efficient governance, and devote all their energy to implementation. In the face of complex situations and arduous tasks, the ideas of "seeking speed" and "seeking visibility" are prone to breed and spread. If one starts from personal fame and gain, it is easy to generate a performance impulse and lose the adherence to the spirit of seeking truth from facts. Whether to do superficial work or practical work, to seek false fame or practical results, not only affects the performance of party members and cadres, but also reflects their position. Only with a high sense of responsibility to the Party and the people, starting from the actual situation of the region and unit, recognizing the positioning, finding the right path, seizing the breakthrough point for promoting high-quality development, and truly accomplishing practical things that promote economic and social development, can we be busy in the right place and achieve practical results.
"General Secretary, you are so busy, but you still come to see us. Thank you so much." "I am busy with these things. The 'major affairs of the country' (国之大者) (guó zhī dà zhě - "major affairs of the country," refers to the most important issues for the country and the people) are the happy lives of the people." This is a dialogue between General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) and villager Wang Deli (王德利) during his inspection in Guilin (桂林), Guangxi (广西) in April 2021. This dialogue profoundly inspires us that the starting point and foothold of the busyness of party members and cadres should be to realize, safeguard, and develop the interests of the people, and constantly enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security. However, in practice, a few party members and cadres are busy with inspections and revisions of materials, and busy with socializing everywhere, but are indifferent to the urgent needs and concerns of the masses. Although it is also busy, the direction is wrong. Being busy for what the masses think, expect, urgently need, and worry about is where the party spirit and responsibility of communists lie. Being busy with these things is truly being busy in the right place. We should go to the people in difficulty more often, go to places with prominent problems more often, aim at the shortcomings of people's livelihood to think of practical strategies and come up with practical measures, and solve problems for the grassroots and difficulties for the people in a timely, effective, and targeted manner, and do the work to the hearts of the people.
The empty busyness of a few party members and cadres is due to both deviations in the view of performance and incorrect work methods. Some cadres believe that "blind busyness is also busyness," and many problems of formalism arise under this mentality. Little do they know that empty busyness and not being busy when one should be busy are "six of one and half a dozen of the other," and in some cases, the harm of empty busyness is even greater than not being busy when one should be busy. Empty busyness cannot achieve practical results, but consumes a lot of human, financial, and material resources, which is indeed a waste of resources, and the masses cannot see the practical results of the busyness, which will also damage the credibility of the Party and the government. Some cadres are empty busy because they are caught in mechanical "事務主义" (shì wù zhǔ yì - "事務主义," a focus on routine tasks and administrative procedures). They handle everything at once and are satisfied with getting the work done perfunctorily. Party members and cadres should break this bad mentality of "no fault is merit," and in the face of the heavy tasks of reform and development, resolutely shoulder the responsibilities that should be shouldered. As long as it is beneficial to the interests of the masses, they should do it with real knives and guns until they achieve practical results. We must also be good at grasping the main contradictions and the main aspects of the contradictions, distinguishing between priorities and urgencies. For problems that can be solved at present, we must act immediately and do practical things that the masses can feel and reach. For those problems that are difficult to solve for a while due to objective factors, we must formulate a timetable for advancement, and at each node, the masses must see real changes.
To establish and practice a correct view of performance, we must plan practical measures, do practical things, and achieve practical results, and pursue real development. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, we need to work hard to solve many contradictions in development and problems in transformation. Party members and cadres have heavy responsibilities on their shoulders, and being busy is a normal state of work. But in any case, busyness cannot be aimless or ineffective empty busyness. We must be down-to-earth, work hard, stay away from the empty busyness of formalism, promote new progress and new achievements in high-quality economic and social development in the midst of busyness, make the masses smile more and feel warmer in the midst of busyness, and make every work stand the test of practice, the people, and history.

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee's "Recommendations" proposed: "Strengthen regional and country studies and enhance the effectiveness of international communication." Regional and country studies comprehensively grasp the economy, politics, culture, and society of different countries and regions in the world, forming a three-dimensional, comprehensive, and in-depth understanding of the target countries and regions, thereby promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations and global and regional governance, and promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. Enhancing the effectiveness of international communication requires an objective and accurate understanding of the target audience. Comprehensive and in-depth regional and country studies can accurately analyze the audience characteristics of target countries and regions, form a discourse system that integrates Chinese and foreign cultures, and improve the influence of international communication, the appeal of Chinese culture, the affinity of the Chinese image, the persuasiveness of Chinese discourse, and the guiding force of international public opinion.
Discover the convergence of interests, values, and emotional resonance between the target countries and regions and China, and build a discourse system for international communication that integrates Chinese and foreign cultures. For example, ASEAN is a priority direction for China's peripheral diplomacy and a key area for high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative. In recent years, China's regional and country studies have paid full attention to ASEAN's regional development and governance, deeply studied the local resource and environmental endowments and bottlenecks, comprehensively analyzed the historical experience of regional cooperation, and continuously deepened the understanding of China-ASEAN relations. By studying the role of the China-Laos Railway (中老铁路) in promoting Laos' (老挝) economic development, it helps to truly and vividly tell the convenience brought to the people of the two countries by the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative. By studying the water resources situation in the Lancang-Mekong River (澜沧江-湄公河) basin, it helps to focus on key issues affecting regional governance, explore cooperation space, and tell the story of Lancang-Mekong countries' cooperation in water resources utilization, protection, and management. Relying on regional and country studies to build an international communication discourse system and responding to the common development needs of various countries can spread the Chinese wisdom contained in the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative in empathy and resonance, and showcase Chinese stories and the ideological and spiritual forces behind them.
Grasp the differentiated characteristics of different countries and regions, and create accurate and adapted communication strategies. Each country and region has unique historical accumulation, political systems, cultural customs, and practical concerns. A prominent feature of regional and country studies is the detailed depiction and portrayal of the specific situation of a country and a region, which can provide a clear "audience map" for effective international communication. International communication faces countries at different stages of development, and it is necessary to grasp their different needs for Chinese solutions. For example, Central Asian countries are in a critical stage of realizing industrialization and promoting modernization, and they pay more attention to China's development experience in digital economy, ecological agriculture, cross-border e-commerce, and other fields. Nordic countries have entered the post-industrialization stage and are currently facing severe challenges from climate change. They have many resonances with China in sustainable development, and there is broad space for green cooperation. The research results of regional and country studies on these countries can support international communication to set topics and adjust strategies in a more targeted manner, realize the differentiated expression and accurate communication of Chinese voices, and enhance the affinity and effectiveness of international communication.
Learn and apply each other to reserve international communication talents of the "regional expert," "country expert," and "field expert" type. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "We must comprehensively enhance the effectiveness of international communication and build a specialized talent team that meets the needs of international communication in the new era." The talent training work of regional and country studies emphasizes that researchers should have the "three-in-one" ability of professional quality, field investigation, and language expression, and has formed a series of supporting courses. This training model provides comprehensive and professional training for building an international communication talent team that masters communication laws, is proficient in multiple languages, and is familiar with local conditions. As a first-level discipline of interdisciplinary studies, regional and country studies takes exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and foreign civilizations as one of the second-level discipline directions, promoting the cross-integration of regional and country studies and international communication. In practice, some universities have explored the teaching and research model of learning and applying regional and country studies and international communication to each other by establishing joint teaching and research offices and research institutes of regional and country studies and international communication, and cultivating talents who meet the practical needs of international communication.
In order to better promote the effectiveness of international communication with regional and country studies, courses on international communication should be introduced into the teaching work of regional and country studies, and in-depth interpretations should be made on the relationship between the current international information communication order and the political and economic landscape, the relationship between communication technology and social changes, and the differences and connections between online public opinion and real public opinion, etc., to improve the international communication awareness and ability of regional and country researchers and strengthen the international communication team. Strengthen the integration of regional and country studies and international communication practice, emphasize learning for application, continuously enhance the ability of regional and country studies to respond to cutting-edge issues in international communication, and provide ideological, knowledge, and methodological support for international communication practice innovation, so as to better tell Chinese stories and build world consensus.

The 2026 World Mobile Communications Conference was held recently at the Barcelona Exhibition Center in Spain. This year marks the 20th anniversary of this global mobile communications industry event in Barcelona (巴塞罗那). With the theme of "Future First," the conference focuses on six key areas: intelligent infrastructure, intelligent connectivity, enterprise-level artificial intelligence applications, artificial intelligence ecosystem collaboration, technology inclusiveness, and innovative transformation. The conference brought together approximately 2,900 exhibitors from more than 200 countries and regions around the world, and set up more than 100 national, regional, and technology-themed pavilions. This year, a Chinese pavilion was set up for the first time, with many Chinese companies such as China Mobile (中国移动), China Telecom (中国电信), China Unicom (中国联通), Huawei (华为), ZTE (中兴通讯), Honor (荣耀), and Xiaomi (小米) participating in the exhibition, showcasing the latest technological achievements in the field of mobile communication and artificial intelligence.
The participating Chinese companies showcased a variety of innovative products integrating artificial intelligence technology. In front of ZTE's booth, a plush toy named "Mochi" attracted a crowd (see photo, Yan Huan, reporter of this newspaper). It has a round and lovely shape, with a pair of big eyes fluttering, which is very friendly. Relying on advanced artificial intelligence technology, "Mochi" can not only understand human language and perceive emotions, but also continuously learn in day-to-day companionship, gain insight into the user's needs and preferences, and provide emotional value. Honor's "Robot Phone" is equipped with a flexible mechanical pan-tilt camera, which can actively rotate and accurately follow the target after aiming at the target, and even respond to instructions through anthropomorphic actions such as nodding and shaking. The Lenovo YOGA concept machine can quickly generate three-dimensional models from two-dimensional plane images, allowing creators to perceive depth, shape, and spatial relationships more intuitively and naturally through the naked-eye 3D display. Qianwen smart glasses integrate real-time translation, bone conduction listening to music and other functions, showing the technical integration prospects of artificial intelligence and lightweight terminals. Xiaomi (小米) showcased a full-scenario ecosystem system centered on the concept of "Human-Car-Home Full Ecology," including concept supercars, flagship mobile phones, and smart homes, reconstructing artificial intelligence technology innovation and deep integration of intelligent experience.
"The application boundaries of artificial intelligence in life are constantly expanding, and it is no longer limited to the optimization of terminal functions, but has evolved into a key tool to enhance user experience and service collaboration." Wang Xiang (王翔), chief strategy officer of ZTE (中兴通讯), said that in the AI native mobile phone launched by ZTE last year, artificial intelligence has become a "smart agent," directly connecting various applications and realizing cross-platform service scheduling. Users only need to express their willingness to travel, and the system can automatically generate a complete itinerary plan covering transportation, accommodation, and catering.
At this year's conference, more attention was paid to the evolution of 6G technology. As of January 2026, 374 operators worldwide have deployed 5G networks. With the solid support of large-scale network coverage, the application of 5G-A technology has accelerated, and the number of global users has reached 70 million. The 5G-A network has pre-verified some key technologies for future 6G development, which will stimulate the innovative vitality of new business forms such as holographic communication, metaverse, and intelligent connected vehicles. At the conference, many companies demonstrated technical concepts for future networks from multiple dimensions, including communication and perception integration, air-space-ground integrated network architecture, and intelligent network control systems. Huawei (华为) launched a U6GHz (upper part of the 6 GHz band) indoor and outdoor full-scenario product portfolio. The U6GHz ultra-wide bandwidth shows the advantages of large capacity, high experience, and low latency, providing stable and reliable connections for artificial intelligence applications. Huawei's U6GHz series solutions fully support the evolution towards 6G, helping operators to deploy the next generation of mobile communication infrastructure in advance.
More and more humanoid robots appeared on the exhibition stands, and "embodied intelligence" became a major keyword. Niu Yibing (牛一兵), Deputy Director of the Cyberspace Administration of China (中国国家互联网信息办公室), said that embodied intelligence, as a new paradigm for the development of artificial intelligence, is promoting artificial intelligence from the "digital world" to the "physical world." An official from the Arab Information and Communication Technology Organization told reporters: "The many innovative products exhibited by Chinese companies are impressive. China attaches great importance to the development of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, and the vast market and innovative policies are constantly driving China's technological progress."
"Chinese companies have brought many innovative technologies and products. Thanks to the scale advantages of the Chinese market and the speed and determination shown when these technologies are promoted to the public and enterprises, China's technological development is reshaping the way we connect with the world." Vivek Badrinath, chairman of the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (全球移动通信系统协会), the organizer of the conference, said that the first establishment of a Chinese pavilion at the conference fully proves the world's recognition and importance of China's technological innovation and development.
Chinese technology companies are continuously refreshing the height and breadth of Chinese intelligent manufacturing on the global stage through a combination of hardware innovation, artificial intelligence empowerment, and ecological integration. Lara Dewar, Chief Marketing Officer of the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (全球移动通信系统协会), said that the communications industry has never stopped moving forward, and no company or country can develop in isolation on the road to progress. Only international cooperation can truly promote the release of its potential. "China has already made important contributions to the world in this regard. At the World Mobile Communications Conference, we often discuss future possibilities. In China, I see the real future," Dewar said.

Return to TopCurrently, the biggest variable of risk facing international nuclear arms control is the policy regression of the United States. The United States possesses one of the world's largest and most advanced nuclear arsenals, and is obsessed with pursuing exclusive security and absolute security, increasing unnecessary nuclear confrontation and the risk of nuclear conflict, and seriously undermining global and regional strategic stability.
In February of this year, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) was headed for "natural death" because the United States refused to respond to Russia's proposal to extend the core restrictions of the treaty. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres warned that the treaty's expiration occurred at "the worst possible moment," and that the risk of using nuclear weapons is at its highest level in decades. Against this backdrop, some people in the United States have not examined their own responsibilities, but have instead tried to shirk responsibility, hype up the so-called "China nuclear threat theory," and once again clamor to bring China into nuclear arms control negotiations between the United States and Russia.
Nuclear weapons are the "Sword of Damocles" hanging over humanity's head, and nuclear arms control is an important guarantee for maintaining global strategic stability. To effectively safeguard the post-war international nuclear order and maintain the international nuclear arms control system, it is necessary to see the crux of the problem clearly. Who is the risk creator and who is the responsible maintainer? It may be helpful to think about the following questions.
First, what are the main concerns of the international community regarding nuclear arms control?
The answer is very clear: the biggest variable of risk facing international nuclear arms control is the policy regression of the United States. As the last nuclear arms control "barrier" between the United States and Russia, the expiration of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) means the collapse of the US-Russia nuclear arms control system established since the Cold War. The Russian side proposed that, for at least one year after the treaty expires, both sides voluntarily abide by the upper limits on the corresponding number of weapons stipulated in the treaty. However, the US side did not make any formal response to the Russian proposal. The international community is worried that "the world is entering uncharted territory."
The expiration of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) is not an isolated event. In recent years, the United States has successively withdrawn from a series of arms control and confidence-building mechanisms, such as the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (反导条约), the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (中导条约), and the Open Skies Treaty (开放天空条约), constantly dismantling the international security architecture. At the same time, the United States continues to elevate the status of nuclear weapons in its national security strategy, and its fiscal year 2026 budget allocates $98.6 billion for nuclear force construction, a record high. The New York Times reported that the US government is planning to break through the quantitative limits set by the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), "in a way that could easily trigger a new arms race."
The United States possesses one of the world's largest and most advanced nuclear arsenals, is obsessed with pursuing exclusive security and absolute security, adheres to the policy of first use of nuclear weapons, and creates a "nuclear alliance" through arrangements such as "nuclear sharing" and "extended deterrence," becoming the country with the most nuclear weapons deployed outside its borders. The United States also plans to develop and deploy the "Golden Dome" anti-missile system, and deploy strategic offensive and defensive forces such as land-based intermediate-range missiles and global anti-missile systems near other nuclear weapons countries. These practices by the United States seriously damage the legitimate rights and interests of other nuclear weapons countries, seriously undermine global and regional strategic stability, and increase the risk of nuclear confrontation and nuclear conflict.
Second, why should China not join nuclear arms control negotiations between the United States and Russia?
Nuclear arms control negotiations must be based on "parity in quantity and parity in responsibility." The nuclear weapons of the United States and Russia account for approximately 90% of the world's total nuclear weapons, while China's nuclear forces are not at the same level as those of the United States and Russia, and its strategic security environment is also completely different. Against this backdrop, the US demand that China, which always maintains its nuclear forces at the "minimum level required for national security," join a nuclear arms control framework led by the United States and Russia and tailored to the strategic situation of both sides, not only does not conform to the international nuclear disarmament principle of "undiminished security for all," but also deviates from the international consensus of "two superpowers taking the lead" (that is, "the two nuclear superpowers taking the lead in reducing nuclear weapons"), and clearly violates international fairness and justice.
For many years, while spending huge sums of money to upgrade its own "triad" nuclear forces and strengthen its missile defense system, the United States has continued to hype up the so-called "expansion of China's nuclear arsenal," and has constantly demanded that China participate in "strategic stability talks" and increase so-called "nuclear force transparency." Its purpose is, first, to create an excuse for its own nuclear policy shift and shift the responsibility for nuclear disarmament; and second, to attempt to use its dominant "quota system" to construct a new constraint framework and perpetuate its own nuclear advantage. This practice of smearing and restricting other countries in order to pursue its own absolute security and strategic advantage not only does not help advance the international nuclear disarmament process, but also seriously damages the credibility of the international nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament system. The international community will not fail to notice this blatant "double standard," and China will naturally not accept it.
Third, how should we view China's role in the international nuclear arms control system?
China will not be coerced into traps carefully manufactured by some people, nor will it assume responsibilities that it should not bear. But this does not prevent China from playing a constructive role in international nuclear arms control in its own way. From the first day it possessed nuclear weapons, China has advocated the complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons, promised not to be the first to use nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances, and unconditionally promised not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states and nuclear-weapon-free zones. China's nuclear policy stance is the most stable, continuous, and predictable among all nuclear-weapon states.
China was one of the first countries to sign the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (全面禁止核试验条约), has conducted the fewest nuclear tests among nuclear-weapon states, and has closed nuclear weapons research and production facilities in Chongqing (重庆), Qinghai (青海), and other places. In terms of the scale and development of nuclear weapons, China has always adopted an extremely restrained attitude, never competing with other countries in terms of investment, quantity, or scale, and will not engage in a nuclear arms race with any country in the future. China firmly upholds the international nuclear non-proliferation system based on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (不扩散核武器条约), and has played an important role in promoting the political and diplomatic resolution of nuclear hotspot issues. China attaches importance to the role of nuclear energy in promoting social and economic development, and has consistently actively supported and deeply participated in international cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Faced with a complex and severe international security situation, China has proposed the Global Security Initiative, emphasizing that we should adhere to a common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security concept, and contribute Chinese wisdom to global security governance. From nuclear arms control to broader arms control issues, China has always been a responsible actor, and a builder and maintainer of rules. China has ratified or signed more than 20 multilateral arms control treaties, established arms control and non-proliferation consultation mechanisms with more than 20 countries and international organizations, constructively participated in multilateral arms control processes in the nuclear, biological, and chemical fields, earnestly fulfilled international arms control treaties, and made due contributions to the international arms control cause.
Peace is the eternal aspiration of human society, and nuclear arms control is an important barrier to safeguarding peace. The current urgent task is to prevent a new round of nuclear arms race among major powers with special responsibilities. The United States should fulfill its special and priority nuclear disarmament responsibilities, resume strategic stability dialogue with Russia, and discuss follow-up arrangements for the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), rather than abusing the trick of shifting blame and undermining global strategic stability.

"Convenient Small Markets" Gather the Atmosphere of Urban Life
Convenient markets are one of the most lively places in a city and also a "mirror" reflecting the city's civilized image. Since 2024, Gaoping City (高平市) has adhered to the principle of "combining dredging and blocking, benefiting the people and facilitating the people," promoting the planning, construction, and transformation of convenient markets, creating a "15-minute convenient living circle," clarifying the business area, time period, and scope, and guiding unified operation with "standardization + humanization."

"Elderly Small Canteens" Add Color to the Happy Old Age of the Elderly
Walking into the Fuxing Community (府兴社区) Elderly Service Center in Beicheng Street (北城街) Subdistrict, Gaoping City (高平市), the environment is bright and clean, with painting and calligraphy rooms, physiotherapy rooms, and restaurants all available. As lunchtime approaches, the restaurant gradually becomes lively. The elderly line up to order food, some carrying hot meals home, and some sitting around the table eating and chatting.
In recent years, Gaoping City (高平市) has focused on the needs of the elderly, continuously promoting the construction of happy elderly care projects, building "elderly small canteens" in communities and villages, which not only allow the elderly to eat hot meals at their doorsteps, but also continuously expand new functions, providing diversified services such as health checkups and day care, truly making the elderly "warm in their stomachs and warm in their hearts."
The school in Shiwang Village (市望村), Sizhuang Town (寺庄镇), Gaoping City (高平市) has been renovated into a day care center for the elderly. The elderly often gather here to chat, relax, or read newspapers, and can also enjoy delicious meals together in the cafeteria at noon, feeling the convenience and happiness of elderly care at their doorsteps.
At present, Gaoping City (高平市) has built 210 rural elderly day care centers, 5 community elderly day care centers, 5 community happiness projects, and 6 standardized community canteens. Relying on these warm-hearted positions, various activities to love and help the elderly are often held and renewed, steadily supporting the happy old age of the elderly.
"Reading Small Spaces" Integrate the Fragrance of Books into Daily Life
In August 2025, Zhongshuge (钟书阁) Gaoping Store officially opened to the public. As Zhongshuge's (钟书阁) first county-level city store in the country and the only bookstore in Shanxi Province (山西省), it attracted many readers to check in on the opening day.
Gaoping City (高平市) carefully creates "reading small spaces," closely cooperating with the well-known cultural brand "Zhongshuge (钟书阁)," through cultural tourism integration and space innovation, reconstructing regional cultural IP with architectural language, and building urban study rooms around readers. At the same time, it innovatively constructs a "1+25" layout, with Zhongshuge (钟书阁) Gaoping Store as the center, focusing on building 25 community (residential) "reading small spaces." As of now, 15 "reading small spaces" have been completed and opened, with more than 27,000 books on the shelves.
Walking into the "reading small space" in Xiguan Community (西关社区), Beicheng Street (北城街) Subdistrict, the environment is warm and elegant, with various books neatly arranged, and the transparent mirror design cleverly extends the vision, making the space more layered. The students who come here either carefully select books, or focus on reading, or bury themselves in writing homework, immersed in the ocean of knowledge. In the farmhouse bookstore in Zhongmiao Village (中庙村), Shennong Town (神农镇), agricultural, economic, science popularization, children's and other books and periodicals are categorized and placed in an orderly manner. Previously, "Black Myth: Wukong" made ancient buildings in Shanxi (山西) popular, and ancient buildings in Gaoping (高平) once topped the hot search list. Zhongmiao Village (中庙村) is named after the ancient Zhongmiao Temple (古中庙), a national key cultural relics protection unit. In order to strengthen the protection of ancient buildings and cultural relics, the village's cultural relics protection staff regularly hold ancient building cultural relics reading sessions in the farmhouse bookstore, inviting villagers to enter the bookstore to learn about ancient building treasures, learn about cultural relics safety knowledge together, and guide everyone to participate in cultural relics protection and protect historical context.
In Gaoping (高平), these "libraries at the doorstep" not only have a rich variety of books and a comfortable reading environment, but also regularly carry out reading sessions, poetry recitations, and other activities. By incorporating them into the city's library "headquarters and branch" system, they also achieve book borrowing and returning. With the landing of "reading small spaces," the construction of "book fragrance Gaoping (书香高平)" is gradually integrated into the daily life of citizens, and the city's cultural atmosphere is becoming more and more intense.
"Shared Small Stations" Build a Warm Harbor Outdoors
In recent years, Gaoping City (高平市) has focused on the needs of outdoor working groups such as takeaway delivery personnel, couriers, and sanitation workers, scientifically determined the location of trade union love stations, and innovatively launched a "commonality + personality" service model. Each trade union love station has added special functions such as reading and learning, psychological counseling, mommy rooms, and volunteer activities according to the characteristics of the user group, making the service more intimate. Develop a station management applet to achieve real-time monitoring and management, integrating daily management, service inquiries, feedback and other functions, greatly improving the management efficiency and service efficiency of the station. As of now, Gaoping City (高平市) has built 47 trade union love stations, including 7 intelligent 24-hour stations, with a cumulative access of 320,000 people.
From the lush greenery of "pocket parks" to the lively atmosphere of "convenient small markets," from the hot meals of "elderly small canteens," the book fragrance of "reading small spaces," to the convenient services of "shared small stations," Gaoping's (高平) "five small benefits for the people projects" focus on the urgent needs and expectations of the masses, accurately exert efforts in the subtle places, and do practical things for the people's livelihood with practical actions and heart-to-heart services, making the city's happy and livable background more distinct, and allowing the majority of citizens to have more sense of gain, happiness, and security.

Return to TopWith the in-depth implementation of the Healthy China strategy, the pharmaceutical retail industry has entered a critical period of transformation and upgrading. Hunan Yikuai Medical Technology Co., Ltd. (一块医药) ("Yikuai Medical" for short), as a leading growth-oriented chain pharmacy supply chain and operation service provider in China, always adheres to the corporate strategy of "technology-driven + full-link empowerment," focuses on serving county pharmacies, builds a new pharmaceutical supply chain ecosystem with digital means, and is committed to making corner pharmacies a smart fortress to protect the health of the masses, helping to promote the universal accessibility of high-quality medical resources.
Deeply Cultivating the County Market
Building a Pharmaceutical Supply Chain with Digital Intelligence
Since its establishment in 2019, Yikuai Medical has taken "making pharmacy operations easier and making healthy life better" as its goal, and integrated the Hunan spirit of "**敢为人先、坚韧不拔**" (gǎn wéi rén xiān, jiān rèn bù bá - "dare to be the first, be firm and indomitable," be a pioneer and persevere) into its development. It has deeply cultivated the field of pharmaceutical supply chain. Up to now, it has established strategic partnerships with more than 1,000 pharmaceutical companies, providing approximately 700 private label SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) for 3,000 chain pharmacy headquarters and tens of thousands of chain and independent pharmacies downstream, serving more than 100,000 terminal pharmacies, with more than 70% of stores located in counties and townships, providing health services to the masses, cumulatively reaching more than 300 million county consumers, bringing health services closer to every household.
Based on deeply cultivating the pharmaceutical supply chain, Yikuai Medical further provides annual customized empowerment services for cooperative chain pharmacies around five dimensions: operation plan, performance improvement, category improvement, store upgrade, and refined membership management. On the operation side, it helps pharmacies establish a scientific management system through mechanisms such as annual budget planning, monthly operation meetings, and on-site teaching; on the category side, it focuses on chronic disease management projects and improves the professional service capabilities of pharmacies in stages throughout the year; on the store side, it promotes the upgrading and transformation of service-oriented stores to create model stores; on the membership side, it helps pharmacies improve customer stickiness through membership level rights and life cycle management. Through the service model of "on-site teaching + long-term accompaniment," Yikuai Medical deeply integrates digital tools with operational practices to continuously empower the high-quality development of county pharmacies.
Achieving Dual-Wheel Drive
Giving Pharmacies Digital Wings
County pharmacies are an important part of the grassroots medical and health service system, but in actual operation, they often face problems such as unstable supply chains, extensive management, and insufficient professional talent. Yikuai Medical has conducted in-depth research on front-line needs and independently developed the PHDS Pharmacy Health Diagnosis System and the Gecko P4 Talent Training Mini Program, providing solid support for the operation of grassroots pharmacies with the digital means of "dual-wheel drive" of the two systems.
The commodity structure and inventory turnover efficiency are directly related to the survival and development of pharmacies. The PHDS system provides accurate decision-making references for operators through in-depth analysis of sales data. Taking a chain pharmacy in Tianjin (天津) as an example, after accessing the system, managers adjusted the goods according to the commodity analysis report, and the inventory turnover efficiency increased by nearly 20%. At present, the PHDS system has covered 27 provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government), serving tens of thousands of pharmacies. The PHDS system has built-in analysis modules such as operation efficiency, intelligent replenishment, and commodity performance, which is like equipping pharmacies with professional "digital operation consultants," promoting the transformation of pharmacy operation from experience management to data management.
Talent is a key factor in pharmacy services, but small and medium-sized chains and independent pharmacies have limited training resources. The Gecko P4 Mini Program delivers professional training to the "fingertips" of store employees. A pharmacy in Anshun (安顺市), Guizhou Province (贵州省) organized store employees to carry out key topic check-in training through the Gecko P4 Mini Program. After systematic learning, the professional quality of pharmacy personnel was effectively improved, thereby enhancing customers' trust in the pharmacy's professional capabilities and ultimately improving the store's operating efficiency. Since its launch in 2021, the Gecko P4 Mini Program has registered more than 2,000 enterprises and more than 100,000 students, effectively improving the professional quality of grassroots pharmacy personnel.
After pharmacies discover operational shortcomings through the PHDS system, they use the Gecko P4 Mini Program to follow up on training, promote the improvement of store employee capabilities, and then enhance store benefits. The two systems support each other and form a virtuous circle, transforming data into visible service effectiveness. From supply chain optimization to talent training, Yikuai Medical responds to the needs of pharmacies with practical measures, helps county pharmacies improve their operational capabilities and consolidate their service foundation, so that the masses can enjoy more professional and convenient health services at their doorsteps.
Demonstrating Responsibility
Benefiting Grassroots People with Health Services
In view of the fact that the elderly account for a relatively high proportion of pharmacy customers, and taking into account the needs of visually impaired groups, Yikuai Medical has upgraded the aging-friendliness of drug packaging and instructions, taking measures such as enlarging fonts, using contrasting colors to highlight important medication tips, and adding Braille to facilitate the elderly and visually impaired groups to identify drug information.
In fulfilling its corporate social responsibility, Yikuai Medical deepens the practice of "green intelligent manufacturing," promotes green packaging materials for its own brand products, and makes every effort to protect green mountains and clear waters. Actively participate in natural disaster relief, and donate urgently needed medicines and materials to disaster-stricken areas many times, and protect people's health with practical actions.
Based on the concepts of openness, innovation, collaboration, and sharing, Yikuai Medical aims to "digitalize all businesses and businessize all digital," and accelerates the construction of a strong digital pharmaceutical supply chain ecosystem. At the same time, with integrity as the foundation and compliance as the wing, it builds a mutual assistance system of "pharmaceutical companies - platform - pharmacies," further integrates wisdom, gathers strength, and improves the effectiveness of grassroots health services.
From supply chain empowerment to talent training, from aging-friendly design to public welfare donations, Yikuai Medical deeply knows that the development of pharmaceutical companies is closely related to people's health, and will continue to serve the grassroots and benefit the masses with practical actions. Let high-quality pharmaceutical services benefit more families and contribute new and greater strength to the construction of a Healthy China.
