The provincial party committee secretary has gained a new identity and is now in a state of war! Key points under important background | Leading Group | Party Secretary

On June 19th, Sun Shaocheng, Secretary of the Party Committee of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and leader of the leading group for promoting key ecological engineering construction such as the "Three North" initiative, presided over the first meeting of the leading group.

Sun Shaocheng demanded at the meeting to immediately enter the wartime state of charging and seizing the pass, and to fight the "battle" day and night without waiting for me.

It is worth noting that this is the first time Sun Shaocheng has appeared as the leader of the leadership group.

National Major Strategy

Desertification is a major global ecological problem that affects human survival and development.

The saying goes, "Look at the Three Norths for Sand Control." On this vast land, Saihanba, Babusha, Maowusu, and others were once covered in yellow sand, with no end in sight.

The "Three North" project, which began in the year of reform and opening up, is a major national strategy.

In 1978, China made a strategic decision to build large-scale protective forests in key areas affected by sandstorms and soil erosion in Northwest, North China, and Northeast China.

According to the overall plan, the construction of the "three north" shelter forest system will last 73 years and be carried out in three stages and eight phases, Xinhua reported.

This project covers 13 provinces in the Three North region and 725 counties including the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, with a total area of over 4 million square kilometers.

As of the end of 2020, the "Three North" project has completed a cumulative afforestation and preservation area of 31.7429 million hectares. However, currently, the situation of desertification prevention and control in China is still severe.

From June 5th to 6th, Xi Jinping inspected Bayannaoer City and presided over a symposium on strengthening the comprehensive prevention and control of desertification and promoting the construction of key ecological projects such as the "Three Norths.

At the aforementioned symposium, Minister of Natural Resources Wang Guanghua, Party Secretary of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Sun Shaocheng, Party Secretary of Gansu Province Hu Changsheng, and Party Secretary of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Liang Yanshun delivered speeches successively.

At the symposium, Xi Jinping said, "To build an ecological civilization, we must be worthy of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, and we must be accountable to our children and grandchildren. We must have a sense of awe of nature, and we must grasp the construction of the 'Three North' shelterbelt system, be responsible to history and to the people."

The New Identity of Provincial Party Secretary

Recently, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has carried out a series of key deployments of work.

On June 9th, Sun Shaocheng presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Autonomous Region Party Committee.

The meeting pointed out that Inner Mongolia spans across the three northern regions, with a long and heavy task in desertification prevention and control. It is necessary to do a good job in desertification prevention and control with a strong sense of responsibility and mission.

On June 13th, the regional leadership conference was held in Hohhot to arrange and deploy the promotion of key ecological engineering construction work such as the "Three North". Che Jun, the leader of the Central Theme Education First Guidance Group, Li Xiaosan, the deputy leader, and all members attended.

Sun Shaocheng said at the meeting that we should concentrate our efforts to win the battle against the "Three North" project, coordinate the construction of the three iconic battles and ecological security barriers, and seize the policy window period to start as soon as possible.

On June 16th, the sixth press conference on desertification and desertification land monitoring results in the autonomous region revealed that a leading group will be established to promote comprehensive prevention and control of desertification and desertification land, as well as key ecological engineering construction such as the "Three North".

After a 3-day interval, the first meeting of the leadership group was held. Sun Shaocheng, as the leader of the leading group for promoting key ecological engineering construction such as the "Three North" initiative in the autonomous region, presided over the first meeting of the leading group for the first time.

Sun Shaocheng pointed out at the meeting that it is necessary to come up with an overall plan and implementation plan as soon as possible, actively seek national support, grasp the policy window period, plan early, coordinate early, and report frequently, and strive to include more key work and major projects in national planning.

"Regardless of cost, without considering the cost"

At present, the construction of the "Three North" project has entered a "tough nut to crack" stage.

2021-2030 is the construction period of the sixth phase of the "Three North" project, a crucial period for consolidating and expanding the achievements of sand prevention and control, and a crucial period for promoting the high-quality development of the "Three North" project.

The central government requires that efforts be made to fight a battle against the "Three North" project within about 10 years, and to build the "Three North" project into a fully functional and unbreakable green Great Wall and ecological security barrier in northern Xinjiang.

The first meeting of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Leading Group for Promoting the Construction of Key Ecological Projects such as "Three North" was held on June 19th, with a special mention of the time point of ten years.

At the first meeting of the leadership group, Sun Shaocheng demanded that all levels deeply understand the difficulty and urgency of the ten-year battle, immediately enter a state of charging and seizing narrow mindedness, show a resolute attitude of completing political tasks without considering costs, and take practical actions of focusing on practical work, solving difficult problems, and striving for results quickly. We must not wait for time and seize every opportunity to start the "war".

Research and deployment work by multiple provincial party secretaries

In addition to Inner Mongolia, there are also many provincial party and government leaders who have conducted research or held meetings on the construction of the Three-North Shelterbelt Program.

Shaanxi: On June 7th, Zhao Yide, Secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, visited Yulin City to investigate the comprehensive prevention and control of desertification and the construction of key ecological projects such as the "Three North".

Zhao Yide mentioned that Shaanxi Province is one of the key provinces in China's comprehensive desertification prevention and control, as well as the construction of key ecological projects such as the "Three North".

He demanded that we fully understand the long-term, arduous, repetitive, and uncertain nature of sand prevention and control work, fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, adhere to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands, and sands, and implement measures according to local conditions, hazards, and classifications to promote the ecological map of Shaanxi from "light green" to "deep green".

Gansu: From June 17th to 18th, the Governor of Gansu Province, Ren Zhenhe, conducted research in Wuwei City and Zhangye City.

Ren Zhenhe mentioned that we should have a clear understanding of the fragility of the ecological environment and the importance of ecological status in the Hexi Corridor. We should also recognize the long-term, arduous, repetitive, and uncertain nature of desertification prevention and control work, and strive to "build the Longyuan Green Great Wall for a long time, and deeply cultivate and meticulously draw a picture of green development.".
