Promote Chinese path to modernization | Harmony between man and nature | Modernization | China
Placing the construction of a beautiful China in a prominent position in the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation, and accelerating the modernization of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
At the National Ecological Environment Protection Conference held from July 17 to 18, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly explained the important position of ecological civilization construction in the overall development of the party and the country.
In the past decade of the new era, China's ecological civilization construction has undergone historic, turning point, and global changes. The sky is bluer, the earth is greener, the water is clearer, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are more colorful. The construction of a beautiful China has taken significant steps.
Striding on a new journey, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: "Chinese-style modernization is a modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature." "We must firmly establish and practice the concept that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains. Plan development at the height of harmonious coexistence between man and nature".
This is a plan for the present and also a plan for the future.
Leave a picturesque ecological space for future generations
The Zhanjiang Mangrove National Nature Reserve in Guangdong Province features layers of mangroves, resembling a green ribbon.
"When I was working in Xiamen, I personally took care of the protection of mangroves. After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I gave several instructions. This is a national treasure, we must protect it well."
Looking at the water and sky, the General Secretary exhorted: "The construction of marine ecological civilization is an important part of the construction of ecological civilization. The coastal areas are the most densely produced and densely populated, and at the same time have a relatively large impact on the natural ecology, so we must really pay attention to it and take truly effective measures to strengthen protection. This is a national strategy, which requires generation after generation to work for a long time to build a beautiful China and make our Chinese contribution to protect the global village."
Tourists take boats to stroll through Baiyangdian Lake.
On the large screen of Xiong'an Convention and Exhibition Center, shimmering waves and a hundred birds gather, spreading a beautiful picture of the interdependence and symbiosis between the city and the lake.
On May 10, when General Secretary Xi Jinping visited here, he specially watched the video report and real-time monitoring screen on the ecological environment management of Baiyangdian Lake.
"Baiyangdian cannot be destroyed because of the construction of a new area in Xiongan. The two must complement each other, not conflict with each other." General Secretary Xi Jinping said, "now that the ecology of Baiyangdian has been gradually restored, we should take special care and cherish it so that Baiyangdian can benefit the people of the new area for a long time."
The environment is people's livelihood, the green mountains are beautiful, and the blue sky is also happiness. The construction of ecological civilization can bring the most sense of gain to the people, and the improvement of the environment can also be deeply felt by the people.
At the National Ecological Environment Protection Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that efforts should be made to improve the diversity, stability, and sustainability of the ecosystem, increase the protection of the ecosystem, effectively strengthen the supervision of ecological protection and restoration, and broaden the transformation of green water and green mountains into golden mountains and silver mountains. The path leaves a beautiful ecological space for future generations.
Comprehensively promote rural environmental improvement and preserve the idyllic scenery of birds singing and flowers for the people.
Integrated management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands, and sands
Bayannur, Inner Mongolia is located in the Hetao Plain, where there is only one rich set of Yellow River in the world.
The first stop was when General Secretary came to Wuliangsuhai to learn about the local adherence to integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands, and sands, as well as the promotion of ecological environment restoration.
Before the exhibition board, the local responsible comrades reported to the General Secretary the change in governance ideas: at first, "water control" was not effective for a long time. Following the general secretary's concept of systematic governance, the overall consideration of mountains, water, forests, fields, lakes, grasses and sand has significantly improved the pattern and effect.
When participating in the deliberations of the Inner Mongolia delegation at the National two sessions in 2021, the General Secretary pointed out: "to co-ordinate the management of the grass and sand system of mountains, rivers, forests, and lakes, the word 'sand' should be added here."
The addition of one character is a profound interpretation of the concept of systems.
"We cannot rest or slack off on this matter." General Secretary likened sand prevention and control to "rolling stones up the mountain" and "rolling down large stones without paying attention".
Standing at a high altitude, the state-owned Xinhua Forest Farm is full of lush greenery.
At the Bayannaoer State-owned Xinhua Forest Farm, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the sandy land under governance and looked at the trees planted year after year, day after day. The General Secretary urged: "Desert ecosystems are inherently fragile, and one trigger affects the whole body. We can neither transform deserts in inappropriate places, nor wait and see, fearful of hands and feet. Some deserts are not good and cannot be changed, so do not know that they cannot be changed." "The ecology of the Three Norths is very fragile. Desert prevention and control is a long-term historical task. We must continue to do a good job in this work and be worthy of our ancestors and future generations."
After conducting on-site research in Bayannur, General Secretary presided over a symposium on strengthening comprehensive desertification prevention and promoting the construction of key ecological projects such as the "Three North", and issued a call to "strive to create a new miracle of China's desertification prevention and control in the new era".
Mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasses, and sands are interconnected and mutually influenced by energy flow and material circulation, forming a relatively independent and interdependent relationship. Coordinated and integrated system governance, enhancing the stability and sustainability of ecosystems, is an important manifestation of human respect for nature, compliance with nature, and protection of nature. It is also the essence of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
The research footprint of General Secretary runs through the distinct theme of promoting harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, and also contains a systematic concept of ecological governance.
Accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of development mode
How to plan and promote ecological and environmental protection work on the new journey?
The first priority is to properly handle the relationship between high-quality development and high-level protection.
General Secretary emphasized the need to plan development from the perspective of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, continuously shape new driving forces and advantages of development through high-level environmental protection, focus on building a green, low-carbon, and circular economy system, effectively reduce the resource and environmental costs of development, and continuously enhance the potential and momentum of development.
Inner Mongolia is known as the "East Forest and West Railway, South Grain and North Animal Husbandry, and Everywhere Mineral Resources", with 17 mineral resources identified as the largest reserves in the country. Will future development continue to rely on mountains and eat mountains, or will it seek alternative paths? This has become a must answer question.
On the screen, red and blue lines interweave and outline the vibrant development of new energy.
"what's the plan next?" The general secretary asked.
"It is expected that by 2025, the installed capacity and power generation of new energy in Inner Mongolia will more than double compared to 2022, and the externally transmitted electricity will more than double." The local comrade in charge of energy industry development replied.
General Secretary's admonition: "The energy industry in Inner Mongolia has long been dominated by coal and has emerged from it. However, a single industry is not enough, and diversified development is the direction. Energy construction cannot rely solely on traditional industries, but should vigorously develop new energy and clean energy."
△ In recent years, Huanghua Port in Cangzhou, Hebei Province has broken the pattern of "one coal is the largest", striving to build a modern comprehensive service port, an international trade port, and an important hub of the "the Belt and Road".
Huanghua Port in Hebei Province is located at the dome of Bohai Bay and is an important hub port for the transportation of coal from the west to the east and from the north to the south in China.
Promoting green development is not about avoiding coal, but about promoting the clean utilization of coal.
The development of one place, one region is a microcosm of the whole world. For China, which has completed the industrialization process that developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years in just a few decades, it is timely and necessary to promote green transformation in economic and social development, coordinate carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, and build a beautiful China.

The harmonious coexistence between humans and nature is not only an answer written in the green mountains and clear waters, but also an answer written in the hearts of the people.
On the new journey of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country, we must protect the ecological environment like we protect our eyes and treat it like we treat life. We will surely embark on a path of civilized development that promotes production, prosperity, and good ecology, and build a beautiful China with evergreen mountains, flowing green water, and fresh air.
