Slovakia’s Economic News published an exclusive interview with Sun Lijie, the ambassador to Slovakia, on the topic of "The United States provoked the escalation of the situation in the Taiwan Strait"

On September 6th, 2022, Slovak Economic Daily published an exclusive interview with Sun Lijie, Ambassador to Slovakia, with the title of "The United States provoked the escalation of the situation in the Taiwan Strait". The Chinese version of the interview is as follows:

Pavel Novotny, Editor-in-Chief of the International Department of Economic News: Recently, two US Navy cruisers sailed through the Taiwan Province Strait. China said that it is on high alert and ready to thwart any provocation. How do you understand China’s position?

Ambassador Sun: The US warships sailed across the Taiwan Province Strait and made public hype, which once again showed that the US side was creating tension. China People’s Liberation Army (PLA) followed the prison guard throughout the passage of American ships, and all the movements were under control.

No: However, the US side said that the move was in response to the growing threat to China in the region.

Ambassador Sun: It is legitimate and lawful for China to take measures to safeguard its sovereign security interests. Since the beginning of this year, American warships have crossed the Taiwan Province Strait once a month on average. The U.S. military’s high-frequency approach to China is provocative and deliberately undermines regional peace and stability. China resolutely defends sovereignty and territorial integrity. The key issue now is not how to treat China’s reaction, but that the international community needs to recognize that the United States is a troublemaker for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

No: A few days ago, Taiwan Province fired a warning shot at Chinese drones. "Leader of Taiwan Province" Tsai Ing-wen said that "necessary and strong countermeasures will be taken" to cope with China’s recent military exercises around the island. Does China intend to ease the situation in this region?

Ambassador Sun: First of all, I want to correct your mistake. Taiwan Province is a part of China, not a sovereign country, and Tsai Ing-Wen is not a "president".

Regarding your question, we should note that it is the US and the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces that aggravate the tension in the Taiwan Strait. China’s actions to defend its sovereign security interests are legitimate and lawful. We strive for peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity and efforts, but we do not promise to give up the use of force.

No: Can these expressions be understood as military threats?

Ambassador Sun: Taiwan Province has been a part of China since ancient times, and both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to the same China. As early as the 12th century, China’s central governments set up administrative jurisdictions in Taiwan Province. In 1895, the Japanese occupied Taiwan Province and the Penghu Islands through a war of aggression. After World War II, according to the Cairo Declaration and the palaces and parks of potsdam and berlin Proclamation and other documents with international legal effect, China regained Taiwan Province in law and fact. In 1949, People’s Republic of China (PRC) was established, replacing the regime of the Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China. Since Taiwan Province is a part of China, China conducts military exercises in the Taiwan Province Strait and around Taiwan, which are China waters. It is China’s legitimate right to conduct military exercises in relevant areas.

No: But that was more than 70 years ago. Now Taiwan Province wants to decide her future.

Ambassador Sun: People’s Republic of China (PRC) was established and replaced the regime of the Republic of China as the sole legal government in China. This is a regime change without changing China as the subject of international law. China’s sovereignty and inherent territorial boundaries have not changed. It is natural that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) government fully enjoys and exercises China’s sovereignty, including its sovereignty over Taiwan Province.

The long-term political opposition between the two sides of the Taiwan Province Strait is caused by the continuation of China’s civil war and the interference of external forces, and it is a trauma left by history to China. But different systems are not obstacles to reunification, let alone excuses for division.

No: The Biden administration of the United States plans to formally ask Congress to approve arms sales to Taiwan estimated at $1.1 billion, including 60 anti-ship missiles and 100 air-to-air missiles. According to the US, this is a necessary measure to defend Taiwan Province from China’s "aggression". What do you think?

Ambassador Sun: The United States sells weapons to Taiwan Province, interferes in China’s internal affairs, harms China’s sovereignty and security interests, violates the basic norms of international law and international relations, and even violates the one-China principle and Three Joint Communiqués’s "August 17" communique. The United States should abide by its commitment to China, earnestly abide by the one-China principle and Three Joint Communiqués regulations, and stop arms sales to Taiwan and military ties between the United States and Taiwan, so as not to further damage Sino-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

Taiwan Province has many allies in the western democratic world, including the United States. Will China solve the Taiwan Province issue alone, or will it seek support and military cooperation from Russia and other countries?

Ambassador Sun: "Taiwan Province has many allies" is an unrealistic and illogical fantasy. There is only one China in the world, Taiwan Province is a part of China, and People’s Republic of China (PRC) is the sole legal representative of all China. The overwhelming majority of countries in the international community support and accept the one-China principle. On the basis of the one-China principle, China has established diplomatic relations with 181 countries all over the world, including the United States.

No: Maybe that’s true, but the reality is different. For example, Pelosi and other US congressmen have recently visited Taiwan one after another.

Ambassador Sun: After Pelosi fled to Taiwan, more than 170 countries and international organizations around the world have expressed their strong support for adhering to the one-China principle. The population of these countries accounts for 80% of the global population. Both the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Secretariat have expressed their adherence to the one-China principle. Justice is in people’s hearts.

No: Recently, several Slovak parliamentarians also visited Taiwan. Will the words and deeds of individual Sri Lankan parliamentarians supporting the Taiwan Province authorities have a negative impact on bilateral relations between Sri Lanka and China?

Ambassador Sun: The one-China principle is the political basis for China and Sri Lanka to establish diplomatic relations and develop friendly cooperation, and it is also a commitment made by the Sri Lankan government to China on behalf of the country. In 2003, in the Joint Statement between People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Slovak Republic, Sri Lanka clearly reiterated that there is only one China in the world, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) government is the sole legal government representing China, and Taiwan Province is an inalienable part of China. China will continue to adhere to the one-principle, and will not establish any form of official relations or conduct any form of official exchanges with Taiwan Province. Slovakia will only maintain private sector-led trade and economic relations with Taiwan Province.

No: But in fact, there are some contacts between Taiwan and Taiwan, such as contacts at the parliamentary level.

Ambassador Sun: China appreciates the Sri Lankan government’s long-term adherence to the one-China policy. A spokesman for the China Embassy has made many remarks on the wrong remarks made by some politicians on Taiwan-related issues, expressing China’s solemn opposition.

I would like to take this opportunity to emphasize that Slovakia was one of the first countries to recognize People’s Republic of China (PRC), and the people of China and Sri Lanka are the beneficiaries of the development of Sino-Sri Lankan relations and pragmatic cooperation. Any words and deeds that violate the one-China principle, provoke or damage the development of Sino-Sri Lankan relations will harm the interests of the two peoples, and also violate the historical trend and Sri Lanka’s commitment to China, and will not succeed.

No: Why is the one-China principle so important?

Ambassador Sun: The one-China principle constitutes a part of the post-World War II international order and has become a broad consensus of the international community. The United Nations addresses Taiwan Province as "Taiwan Province, the province of China". The Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and the United States issued in December 1978 stated that "the United States government recognizes China’s position that there is only one China and Taiwan Province is a part of China" and "the United States recognizes the People’s Republic of China (PRC) government as the sole legal government of China. Within this scope, the American people will maintain cultural, commercial and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan Province. ".

No: US Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in August caused a strong reaction from China. Where is she wrong? Is it really necessary to respond through an unprecedented military exercise around the island?

Ambassador Sun: There is only one China in the world, Taiwan Province is an inalienable part of China, and the government of People’s Republic of China (PRC) is the sole legal government representing the whole of China. In October 1971, the 26th United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 2758, which decided: "Restore all rights of People’s Republic of China (PRC), recognize the representative of her government as the sole legitimate representative of China in the United Nations organization, and immediately expel the representative of Chiang Kai-shek from the illegally occupied seat in the United Nations organization and all its affiliated institutions." Pelosi declared that it was an official visit, met with the so-called "Leader of Taiwan Province" and openly referred to Taiwan as a "country". These acts seriously violated the one-China principle and the US’s own commitments, seriously violated China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and seriously undermined peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

No: It is true that the United Nations has not recognized Taiwan Province as an independent country.

Ambassador Sun: Of course not. The official legal opinion of the Office of Legal Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat clearly points out that "Taiwan Province, as a province of China, has no independent status" and "Taiwan Province authorities do not enjoy any form of government status". In practice, the United Nations addressed Taiwan Province as "Taiwan Province, the province of China".

No: China has said that the United States will "pay the price" for Pelosi’s visit. How to understand this?

Ambassador Sun: China has repeatedly indicated to the US the solemn position of China’s firm and strong opposition to Pelosi’s visit. However, despite China’s strong opposition and solemn representations, Pei insisted on visiting Taiwan, China and sent a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. The United States and the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces have been maliciously provoked first, and China must take countermeasures to safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests.

Nuo: Apart from military exercises, what other countermeasures has China taken?

Ambassador Sun: China has issued eight countermeasures against Pelosi’s channeling to Taiwan, as well as sanctions against Pelosi and her immediate family. With regard to countermeasures, China will take all necessary measures to resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity against the interference of external forces and a handful of "Taiwan independence" separatists and their separatist activities.

No: How do the people of China evaluate Pelosi’s visit to?

Ambassador Sun: The people of China express their strong dissatisfaction and indignation. Many netizens in China said on social media that if American leaders fly to Catalonia or Scotland by military plane without permission and express their support for the independence of these two regions on behalf of the US government, how would the central governments and people in Spain and Britain comment? China firmly upholds the one-China principle and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China, and it is also upholding the basic norms of international law and international relations, especially the principle of non-interference in internal affairs stipulated in the Charter of the United Nations.

No: During the exercise, China fired ballistic missiles into the waters near Taiwan Province, and some of them fell into "Japanese waters". What is the reason for China’s move? Is it an expected plan or a coincidence?

Ambassador Sun: China’s army is conducting military training activities in the waters near Taiwan, China Island, and relevant departments have issued safety reminders and navigation warnings in advance. China and Japan have not yet demarcated the relevant sea areas, and there is no such thing as "Japanese waters" or "Japan’s exclusive economic zone" reported by other media.

No: The Japanese side obviously has different views and protested to the Chinese side. What is the main goal of the Chinese exercise?

Ambassador Sun: China’s military exercises in the Taiwan Province Strait and around Taiwan are a solemn shock to the provocation of the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and external forces, and also a just and necessary move to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The exercises are open, transparent and professional, in line with domestic laws, international laws and international practices. These areas are China waters, and it is China’s legitimate right to conduct training in relevant areas.

No: So, when Taiwan Province rejects China’s "territorial claim" and Chinese missiles fall into the sea claimed by Japan, should Japan, South Korea and Taiwan Province feel threatened?

Ambassador Sun: First, Taiwan Province is a part of China, not a sovereign country. If Taiwan Province is classified with Japan and South Korea, I’m afraid Japan and South Korea will have a problem. Both Japan and South Korea are important neighbors of China. China actively develops friendly relations with neighboring countries and maintains regional peace and stability.

Second, the current tension is not caused by China or the central government, but by the United States and "Taiwan independence" elements. The United States continues to distort, tamper with, blur and hollow out the one-China principle, concoct the "Taiwan Relations Act" and "Six Guarantees for Taiwan", and delete key expressions such as "Taiwan Province is a part of China" on the US State Department website; Contrary to the promise in the August 17th Communiqué that it will not pursue a long-term policy of selling weapons to Taiwan Province, the performance and quantity of weapons it sells to Taiwan Province will not exceed the level supplied in recent years after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and it is prepared to gradually reduce its arms sales to Taiwan Province, which will lead to a final solution after a period of time, it has continuously improved the scale and performance of arms sales to Taiwan over the past 43 years, and its arms sales to Taiwan have reached 70 billion US dollars. In front of Peichuang, American warships and military planes wandered in China’s South China Sea, East China Sea and Taiwan Province Strait almost every day. Therefore, the tension has long existed, and Pei’s visit has greatly aggravated the tension. In order to avoid this crisis imposed on China, China has made the utmost diplomatic efforts. What the international community really needs to worry about is the danger of escalating tensions brought about by the irresponsible adventures and provocations of the United States. If countries in the region are worried about being threatened, they should be accountable to the United States, Taiwan authorities and "Taiwan independence" elements.

No: What is China’s idea of the final solution to the Taiwan Province issue?

Ambassador Sun: "Peaceful reunification and one country, two systems" is our basic policy for solving the Taiwan Province issue, and "one country, two systems" is a peaceful, democratic, goodwill and win-win solution. Unfortunately, since the concept of "one country, two systems" was put forward, the political forces split by Taiwan Province have spared no effort to spread rumors and discredit, misinterpreting and misleading some Taiwan Province compatriots. If China doesn’t take countermeasures, then some external forces and "Taiwan independence" elements will lead Taiwan Province to the wrong direction of supporting "Taiwan independence" more, so we must do something to stop this trend.

Taiwan Province is an island with a population of 23 million, while Chinese mainland has a population of 1.4 billion. If we really want to solve the Taiwan Province issue by force, it will be a huge and disproportionate …

Ambassador Sun: Compatriots on both sides of the strait are a family, and the last thing we want is to see flesh and blood eating each other. Therefore, we are striving for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity and efforts. I believe that with the passage of time, "one country, two systems" will be re-recognized by Taiwan Province compatriots. However, in order to curb the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and prevent external forces from interfering, we also do not promise to give up achieving reunification by non-peaceful means.

No: You have repeatedly mentioned peace and stability, but you have not ruled out the use of force against Taiwan. Is China prepared to negotiate with the Taiwan Province authorities to find a solution to the reunification issue?

Ambassador Sun: Peaceful reunification means equal consultation and common discussion. China has clearly expressed its policy stance in the white paper "The Taiwan Province Question and China’s Reunification in the New Era" released not long ago. On the basis of the One-China principle and the "1992 Consensus", we are willing to conduct dialogue and communication with various parties, groups and people in Taiwan Province to resolve cross-strait political differences and exchange views extensively. We are also willing to continue to promote democratic consultations among representatives elected by political parties and people from all walks of life on both sides of the strait to discuss the major plan of promoting the peaceful development and integrated development of cross-strait relations and the peaceful reunification of the motherland.

No: It seems that Taiwan Province is not interested in the prospect of reunification and wants to keep its democratic way of life.

Ambassador Sun: We should realize that splitting Taiwan independence will only push Taiwan Province into the abyss of disaster and bring profound harm to Taiwan Province compatriots. We are willing to create a vast space for peaceful reunification, but we will never leave any space for various forms of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities’ act of seeking "independence" endangers peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, destroys the prospect of peaceful reunification and squeezes the space for peaceful reunification, which is an obstacle that must be removed in the process of striving for peaceful reunification.

No: You mentioned earlier comparing the Taiwan Province issue with Scotland in Britain and Catalonia in Spain. Britain allows Scottish independence referendum. Will China allow Taiwan Province to hold a referendum and respect the result?

Ambassador Sun: The Taiwan Province issue is an internal affair of China, and external forces have no right to interfere. Similarly, the Scottish referendum is an internal affair of Britain, and I will not comment on it. But I must emphasize that Taiwan Province is the Taiwan Province of all China people, and all China people refer to the 1.4 billion China people, including 23 million Taiwan Province compatriots. China’s Anti-Secession Law clearly points out: "In any name and in any way, the’ Taiwan independence’ separatist forces cause Taiwan Province to secede from China, or a major incident that will lead to Taiwan Province’s secession from China occurs, or the possibility of peaceful reunification is completely lost. The state has to take non-peaceful means and other necessary measures to safeguard its national sovereignty and territorial integrity."

China advocates "one country, two systems" in Taiwan Province, which is similar to the policy implemented in Hong Kong, but only "pro-Beijing candidates" in Hong Kong can participate in local elections. Will the same policy be implemented in Taiwan Province after reunification?

Ambassador Sun: The concept of "one country, two systems" was first put forward to solve the Taiwan Province issue. "One country" is the premise and foundation of "two systems". If national sovereignty, security and development interests are harmed, there will be no long-term prosperity and stability. We will stick to the principle of "one country, two systems", but we will never give in on the bottom line of principle.

No: Will the policies implemented after the reunification of Taiwan Province be the same as those of Hong Kong?

Ambassador Sun: "Patriots ruling Hong Kong" cannot be equated with "only pro-Beijing candidates are allowed to stand for election" simply and rudely. Politicians in any country must first be loyal to their motherland, safeguard their own constitution, safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, and oppose foreign interference in their internal affairs. This is a universal political ethics. No country or region will allow unpatriotic or even traitorous forces and figures to come to power. With regard to the concrete realization form of "one country, two systems" in Taiwan Province, we will fully absorb the opinions and suggestions from both sides of the strait and fully take care of the interests and feelings of Taiwan Province compatriots.

No: Besides Taiwan Province, does China have any other territorial claims in this region? It seems that some neighboring countries think that their sovereignty is threatened by China …

Ambassador Sun: Border demarcation is a matter between China and relevant countries, while Taiwan Province is China’s inherent territory and the Taiwan Province issue is China’s internal affair. These two things are different in nature.

China has the longest border and the largest number of neighboring countries in the world. Building a peaceful, friendly and cooperative border is not only the objective need of the development of all countries, but also the common aspiration of countries in the region. China has completed demarcation and demarcation with 12 of the 14 land neighbors through peaceful negotiations, and is also committed to promoting consultations with ASEAN countries on the "Code of Conduct in the South China Sea" to jointly safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea.

China has always adhered to an independent foreign policy of peace and a defensive national defense policy. China defends national sovereignty, security and development interests, and is also a staunch force for maintaining world peace and stability and serving to build a community of human destiny.

No: Can you rule out the risk of a major global conflict? For example, can the risk of using nuclear weapons be ruled out?

Ambassador Sun: As for how to eliminate the risks of global large-scale conflicts and the use of nuclear weapons, instead of worrying about the worst possibility, we should take action to build a better future.

Not long ago, Chairman of the Supreme LeaderA global security initiative was put forward, which provided a Chinese plan to make up for the peace deficit of mankind and meet the international security challenges. The initiative advocates adhering to the common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept; Insist on respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries; Adhere to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter; Adhere to the legitimate security concerns of all countries; Insist on resolving differences and disputes between countries by peaceful means through dialogue and consultation; Adhere to the overall planning and maintenance of security in traditional and non-traditional fields. This initiative is in response to the topic of the times "What kind of security concept does the world need and how countries can achieve common security".

No: Is China willing to work with other countries to implement this initiative?

Ambassador Sun: Of course. China is willing to join hands with all peace-loving and development-oriented countries and people in the world to implement global security initiatives, take the road towards lasting peace and universal security, and build a community of human destiny.

Consciously undertake the mission of propaganda and ideological work (thoroughly study and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era)

  The strength of a political party is rooted in the hearts of the people. The key to a nation’s revival lies in its spirit. A strong nation should have a strong national spirit. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out at the National Conference on Propaganda and Ideological Work: "To do a good job in propaganda and ideological work under the new situation, we must consciously undertake the mission of raising flags, gathering people’s hearts, educating new people, rejuvenating culture and displaying image." The vast number of propaganda and ideological workers must consciously undertake the mission entrusted by the new era and make due contributions to promoting the continuous strengthening of propaganda and ideological work and the national spirit.

  Hold the banner and lay a solid ideological foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out, "Doctrine is like a flag. When the flag is erected, everyone will have hope and know where to go." To do a good job in propaganda and ideological work under the new situation, we must hold high the banner of Marxism and Socialism with Chinese characteristics, arm the whole party, educate the people and promote the work with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, constantly consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, and consolidate the common ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the whole people.

  Work hard to learn, understand and implement new ideas. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era provides an action guide for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. To do a good job in propaganda and ideological work under the new situation, we must use this important ideological education to guide cadres and the masses and constantly improve their political identity, ideological identity, theoretical identity and emotional identity. Propaganda and ideological workers should set an example of learning to understand and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, learn one step at a time and learn one step at a time, so as to be aware of it and use it freely; Take the lead and implement it, and be good at influencing and driving the masses with scientific theories.

  Be good at explaining conclusions with economic and social development materials. Marxist classical writers have always advocated integrating theory with practice and opposed empty preaching. Lenin believes that Marxism can only be understood and mastered by the masses if it is combined with the realistic workers’ movement. It is emphasized that propaganda and application of Marxism must proceed from the universally recognized facts. Practice has proved that Marxism has provided a powerful ideological weapon for China’s revolution, construction and reform, and enabled China, an ancient eastern power, to create an unprecedented development miracle in human history. Propaganda and ideological workers should be good at using fresh materials of economic and social development to clarify this conclusion through the comparison between today and the past, China and foreign countries.

  Dare to fight against all kinds of wrong thoughts. At present, China is in a critical period of economic and social transformation, and various social thoughts are competing to speak out. In these thoughts, right and wrong coexist, and advanced and backward are intertwined. Propaganda and ideological workers should deeply understand and master the laws of ideological work, comprehensively analyze and grasp the trends of social ideological trends, constantly enhance political discrimination and political immunity, take a clear-cut stand in upholding the truth and firmly refute fallacies. In the ideological confrontation, it is necessary to analyze things clearly, and strive to convince people with culture and reasoning; We should also dare to show our swords and resolutely fight against erroneous ideological trends.

  Gather people’s hearts and gather great strength for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  To realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must unite China’s strength. Propaganda and ideological work is the work of being a man and rallying people’s hearts. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the propaganda and ideological work should adhere to the people-centered principle, in order to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Explain not only the great achievements, but also the practical problems. Propaganda and ideological work should be good at combining the international and domestic situations, closely linking the changes in people’s lives and the examples around them, and clearly explaining the great achievements made in the past 40 years of reform and opening up, especially the historic achievements and changes that have taken place in the cause of the party and the state since the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, constantly inspiring confidence and gathering people’s hearts. At present, some people use negative cases to make a fuss and draw some biased conclusions. The key to effectively respond to this kind of query and thoroughly explain the existing problems is to make good use of materialist dialectics, guide cadres and the masses to distinguish the mainstream from tributaries, the individual from the general, the phenomenon from the essence, and clarify the causes and solutions of the problems. Lenin once said, "If you don’t grasp the facts from the whole or from the connection, if the facts are piecemeal and randomly picked out, then they can only be a kind of child’s play, or even worse." To do a good job in propaganda and ideological work, we should describe the facts according to the facts, not only accurately report individual facts, but also grasp and reflect the whole picture of events or things from a macro perspective, as emphasized by the Supreme Leader.

  Solve both practical problems and ideological problems. The effect of propaganda and ideological work should ultimately be reflected in the recognition of the people. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: "All the real life problems of the masses are problems that we should pay attention to. If we pay attention to these problems, solve them and meet the needs of the masses, we will truly become the organizers of mass life, and the masses will truly surround us and enthusiastically support us. " To do a good job in propaganda and ideological work under the new situation, we must take the people’s yearning for a better life as our goal, not only to help the people solve practical problems in their lives, but also to solve their ideological problems, so as to strengthen their confidence, gather people’s hearts, warm people’s hearts and build unity.

  Educate new people and cultivate fresh troops for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Adhering to and developing the Chinese dream of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is a long-term task, which needs continuous struggle from generation to generation. This determines that propaganda and ideological work should take it as an important duty to train new people of the times who are responsible for national rejuvenation.

  Build a spiritual foundation with firm ideals and beliefs. In a certain sense, whether young people have firm ideals and beliefs determines whether a country can prosper. Ideals guide the direction of life, and beliefs determine the success or failure of a career. Without firm ideals and beliefs, it will lead to mental "calcium deficiency." To help young people strengthen their ideals and beliefs in propaganda and ideological work, we should strengthen the propaganda and education of Marxist theory, China history and world history, and the basic national conditions of contemporary China according to the individual characteristics, theoretical demands and learning methods of contemporary young people, so that young people can continuously enhance their "four consciousnesses" and always strengthen their "four self-confidences".

  See the truth in attention, care and love. Winning the majority of young people is the key for a political party to maintain its youthful vitality. The Communist Party of China (CPC) has always attached great importance to youth work, and since its establishment, it has insisted on representing, winning and relying on young people. Under the condition of ideological pluralism and social informatization, to win over young people, propaganda and ideological work needs to make more efforts, pay attention to young people, care for them, show their true feelings, see the truth, give practical policies, encourage their growth and support their entrepreneurship.

  Use real work in detail, small size and implementation. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out, "Tao cannot sit on the table, and virtue cannot be empty talk. Only by exerting efforts in practice and working hard from the unity of knowing and doing can the core values be internalized into people’s spiritual pursuit and externalized into people’s conscious actions. " Propaganda and ideological work should strengthen education guidance, practice cultivation and system guarantee, strive to promote the integration of socialist core values into all aspects of social life, and guide all people to consciously practice. In particular, it is necessary to grasp the critical period of the formation of young people’s values and guide them to buckle their first buttons in life.

  Promote culture and enhance the cultural heritage for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  The prosperity of a country and a nation should be supported by cultural prosperity. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation depends on the development and prosperity of Chinese culture. In the new era, propaganda and ideological work should contribute to adhering to the road of cultural development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics and building a socialist cultural power.

  Effectively enhance the sense of responsibility and mission of promoting culture. Culture is an important support for the survival and development of the nation. Realizing the prosperity of Chinese culture and building a socialist cultural power is the proper meaning of realizing the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation. In the face of the demands of social consensus on values and the people’s desire to live a richer spiritual and cultural life, propaganda and ideological workers should stand at the height of realizing the Chinese nation’s great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream and realizing the people’s yearning for a better life, and earnestly enhance their sense of responsibility and mission in rejuvenating culture.

  Vigorously promote Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture. Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture is an organic whole based on Chinese excellent traditional culture, with revolutionary culture as the source and advanced socialist culture as the direction. To do propaganda and ideological work well under the new situation, we should take root in the fertile soil of Chinese excellent traditional culture and promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture; Inherit revolutionary culture and give play to the important role of red cultural genes in cultural inheritance, integration and innovation; Carry forward the advanced socialist culture and play its leading role in value.

  Constantly inspire people’s cultural innovation and create vitality. The prosperity of socialist culture requires both the spring snow and the Liba people. It is necessary to play a leading role in propaganda and ideological work, but also to stimulate the people’s cultural innovation and creativity. For social and cultural phenomena and popular cultural forms, we should adhere to the combination of meeting the needs of the masses and leading the improvement, adhere to the cultural consciousness to examine their advantages and disadvantages, treat their popularity and influence with cultural confidence, and strive to promote their healthy development.

  Show your image and create a favorable international public opinion environment for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  China cannot seek development under closed conditions, but can only achieve win-win development through harmonious coexistence and benign interaction with the world. Propaganda and ideological work should show the world a true, three-dimensional and comprehensive China and create a favorable international public opinion environment for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Strengthen the capacity building of international communication. At present, "reading" China’s economy and "decoding" China’s road have become an important international phenomenon. It is good that the world pays attention to China, but China’s story cannot be interpreted by others, and Chinese should tell his own story well. Since the May 4th Movement, the cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries have generally shown a situation in which western learning has gradually spread to the east, while eastern learning has gradually been insufficient. Now, although the information is well developed, foreign people still don’t know much about China, which is not deep or true, and they are easily misled by the media with ulterior motives. In recent years, the international communication ability of China’s mainstream media has been continuously improved, but the pattern of international public opinion that the west is strong and the west is weak has not fundamentally changed. Strengthening the capacity building of international communication is still an important task for propaganda and ideological work.

  Tell the story of China well. In recent years, in view of the rapid economic and social development in China, some foreign media have made various interpretations. Among them, there are many misinterpretations and misunderstandings such as "China threat theory". In this regard, China’s propaganda and ideological workers made a timely and effective response. In the future, we should further clarify fallacies and distinguish right from wrong. At the same time, we should go beyond the practice of "smearing first and then whitewashing", improve the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of international communication, and actively tell the story of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s governance of the country, the story of China people’s struggle for a dream, and the story of China’s insistence on peaceful development, cooperation and win-win, so that the world can understand China more stereoscopically and comprehensively. Let the world know not only "China on the tip of the tongue", but also "China in academics", "China in theory", "China in philosophy and social sciences", "China in development", "China in opening up" and China making contributions to human civilization.

  Interpret China’s ideas. Due to the differences between history and reality, system and culture, customs and habits, the development of China will inevitably go through a long-term cognitive friction, collision and adaptation process between China and foreign countries. It is undoubtedly very important to study the habits and characteristics of different foreign audiences, adopt concepts, categories and expressions that integrate China and foreign countries, and be good at interpreting and expressing China’s ideas to the international community. It is an important task and mission for propaganda and ideological workers to strengthen the international communication power of China’s stories, carry forward the cultural spirit that transcends time and space, transcends the country, is full of eternal charm and has contemporary value, and spread the cultural innovation achievements of contemporary China that inherit the traditional excellent culture and carry forward the spirit of the times, and is based on their own country and facing the world.

More than 100 formalistic bureaucratic problems in the field of ecological environmental protection have been exposed.

  CCTV News:Formalism and bureaucracy in ecological environmental protection seriously deviate from the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee, infringe on the vital interests of the masses and restrict the sustainable development of economy and society. According to statistics, since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has publicly exposed 124 typical cases of formalism and bureaucracy in the field of ecological environmental protection, handling 482 people.

  Judging from the types of problems, formalism and bureaucracy in the field of eco-environmental protection mainly focus on four aspects: negligence, ineffective rectification, lax control and fraud.

  There were 68 cases of negligence and dereliction of duty, accounting for 54.8%. Some public officials are lax and untrue in their work style, and neglect to supervise and investigate environmental problems in their respective fields. Such problems are common manifestations of formalism and bureaucracy in the field of ecological environmental protection. For example, from December 2017 to July 2018, Deng Guoliang, director of the Economic Development Zone Branch of Ningxiang Environmental Protection Bureau in Changsha City, Hunan Province, led a team to the sewage treatment plant in the Economic Development Zone for many times to conduct on-site monitoring, and failed to stop the illegal trial operation of the plant without building an emergency pump and an emergency accident pool. It was not found that the biological pool of the plant stored a large amount of activated sludge, and the form was filled out to confirm that it was normal without confirming whether the relevant places and equipment were in normal operation, resulting in sewage overflow and sewage discharge accidents. Deng Guoliang was punished by government affairs.

  There are 33 problems of poor rectification, accounting for 26.6% of all problems. In recent years, through environmental supervision, special inspections and other means, a number of outstanding problems that damage the ecological environment have been discovered in various places, but some public officials dare not touch the real thing in the rectification, which has delayed the solution of the problem. For example, in 2017, the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group ordered the town government to organize forces to restore the original state to the beach contractor in Chongshou Town, Cixi City, Zhejiang Province. However, Qian Jianju, as the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture and the deputy director of the town’s "beach-length system" leading group, failed to complete the rectification task on time until September 2018, which caused adverse effects. In October 2018, Qian Jianju was punished by warnings within the party.

  There were 12 cases of lax control, accounting for 9.7%. Judging from the notification problem, some public officials failed to fulfill their duties in the approval and issuance of documents such as sewage permits, allowing unqualified enterprises to pass the approval and pollute the environment. For example, in October, 2015, Zeng Yubo, director of the Law Enforcement Supervision Department of Environmental Water Affairs Bureau of Nansha Development Zone, Guangzhou, was responsible for the approval and issuance of pollutant discharge permits. Knowing that Nansha District Government had ordered a company to close its pipe pile manufacturing facilities in the first-class protection zone of drinking water sources, he did not correctly implement the administrative decision of the district government, and unilaterally thought that the district government had not ordered the company to dismantle or close its facilities in the second-class protection zone of drinking water sources, and continued to issue pollutant discharge permits valid for one year to the company. In December 2018, Zeng Yubo was punished.

  There were 11 cases of fraud, accounting for 8.9%. For example, the relevant industry authorities in Xingren City, Southwest Guizhou Province knew that Jinxing Gold Mining had problems such as excessive stacking of tailings ponds and excessive discharge of pollutants, but did not carry out substantive supervision work and falsely reported the rectification situation when the rectification task was not completed. In January 2019, Cen Zhaohai, director of Xingren Environmental Protection Bureau, was punished by government affairs warning, and Cheng Rui, deputy stationmaster of environmental monitoring station, was punished by the party; Yuan Dajiang, a member of the party group and deputy director of the Southwest Guizhou Industrial and Information Committee, was admonished.

  From the field of problems, formalism and bureaucracy in environmental protection mainly occur in environmental approval, environmental monitoring, environmental law enforcement and environmental engineering construction. Among them, 55 cases occurred in the field of environmental monitoring, accounting for 44.4%; 37 cases occurred in the field of environmental law enforcement, accounting for 29.8%; 21 cases occurred in environmental engineering construction, accounting for 16.9%; 11 cases occurred in the field of environmental approval, accounting for 8.9%.

  With the deepening of the reform of the ecological civilization system, through the establishment of a comprehensive law enforcement team, covering all areas of ecological environmental protection, the investment in ecological environmental engineering construction has been increasing, but the problems of poor work deployment, lax and untrue measures, high attitude and low implementation can not be ignored. In this regard, we must pay close attention to the key areas where these problems are prone to occur frequently, adhere to both the symptoms and the root causes, and put the responsibilities in place.

  Among the 482 party member cadres notified for investigation, there are 294 at the township level and below, accounting for 61%; 102 people at the county level, accounting for 21.1%; There are 38 people at the bureau level, accounting for 7.9%; There are 48 village cadres and staff of enterprises and institutions, accounting for 10%.

  Judging from the notified cases, among the party member cadres investigated, there are not only the main leaders of local party organizations, but also party member cadres from functional departments such as Land and Resources Bureau, Environmental Protection Bureau and Water Affairs Bureau; There are both public officials responsible for supervision and inspection and party member cadres responsible for checking and approving; There are not only party and government leaders, but also relevant leaders of state-owned enterprises and village cadres. At the same time, it has become the norm to investigate more than one case. A formalism and bureaucracy problem in the field of ecological and environmental protection will be investigated and dealt with, not only the directly responsible person, but also the direct leader, the leader in charge and even the leader who has been transferred from the original post will be held accountable.

  It is a major task for the discipline inspection and supervision organs to provide a strong discipline guarantee for the fight against pollution. Discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels should base themselves on their functions and responsibilities, strengthen supervision and inspection, urge party committees and governments at all levels to conscientiously implement the major decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, and not take responsibility for inaction, formalism, bureaucratic stubborn diseases and outstanding problems in the field of ecological and environmental protection, and find that they are investigated together, and timely report and expose typical problems, and guard green mountains and green rivers with iron discipline.

Fight the epidemic, grasp the spring ploughing banking industry by mistake, do a good job in credit service and ensure the resumption of spring ploughing production

  The rainy season has arrived, and the whole country has ushered in a busy spring ploughing. Although this spring is unusual because of the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic, food is the foundation of the people, and farming time waits for no man. Therefore, how to prevent and control the epidemic and ensure the smooth resumption of spring ploughing has become a top priority.

  On February 15th, the Notice on Further Improving Financial Services for Epidemic Prevention and Control issued by China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission of China specifically pointed out that financial support for spring ploughing and spring planting should be increased. According to the characteristics of epidemic prevention and control in rural areas, we actively meet the needs of basic financial services in rural areas through online and offline methods. Increase the intensity of agricultural loans, and fully guarantee the demand for credit funds for agricultural and sideline products production and spring ploughing and agricultural materials supply. Encourage local banking institutions to establish a rapid response mechanism for the demand for emergency production funds of agricultural products, and support the stable supply and price of agricultural products during the epidemic.

  "Spring ploughing this year is affected by the epidemic, agricultural products in some areas are unsalable, and some enterprises and individuals have problems in capital flow. These situations will also lead to the lack of confidence of some farmers." Dong Ximiao, chief researcher of Xinwang Bank, said in an interview with the Financial Times reporter.

  How to meet the needs of related enterprises and farmers for spring ploughing financial services quickly and well? Recently, the Financial Times reporter learned in an interview that the banking industry has taken a series of effective measures in time to stabilize the market price of agricultural products and at the same time give farmers a reassurance.

  Guarantee the demand for basic financial services

  "People are mistaken for a moment, and they are mistaken for a year." Epidemic prevention cannot be relaxed, and spring ploughing cannot be delayed. Therefore, it is particularly important to know the demand of agricultural enterprises and farmers for spring ploughing financial services in time.

  "Affected by the epidemic, the demand for financial services related to spring ploughing should increase this year compared with previous years, which requires the banking industry to understand the needs of enterprises and farmers and achieve accurate services." Dong Ximiao believes that first of all, it is necessary to raise awareness and strengthen the understanding of the importance of spring ploughing services to agricultural financial services. Banks need to know in detail the difficulties encountered by farmers in purchasing chemical fertilizers, seeds, agricultural machinery, pesticides and other necessities, and solve them in a targeted manner.

  Yunnan Funing Xianggui Sugar Co., Ltd. is a local leading sugar enterprise. It is spring planting season, so Xianggui sugar industry urgently needs chemical fertilizer for sugarcane planting. After verifying the situation of the enterprise, Yunnan Wenshan Branch of China Construction Bank issued a network supply chain loan of 1.5 million yuan to the upstream chemical fertilizer supplier of the enterprise at the fastest speed, which helped Xianggui Sugar successfully complete the purchase of spring ploughing chemical fertilizer.

  "In this special period, financial institutions can better provide financial services to customers through special apps such as mobile banking by means of financial technology." Dong Ximiao believes that farmers can apply for funds without leaving home, which on the one hand improves the efficiency of financial services related to spring ploughing; On the other hand, providing non-contact and zero-contact services can reduce the possibility of cross-infection.

  "Keeping indoors for spring ploughing" is a special ploughing scene in this spring when the epidemic situation in COVID-19 suddenly broke out.

  As the main force of "agriculture, countryside and farmers" service, Agricultural Bank of China actively develops three online businesses of "Huinong e-loan", "Huinong e-payment" and "Huinong e-business" relying on the platform of "Huinong e-link" internet financial service, helping customers to apply for loans, repay and renew loans, pay and settle accounts, purchase agricultural materials and sell agricultural products online, effectively reducing the epidemic situation and preparing seeds and medicines for "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" customers. Up to now, the above three businesses have basically covered all counties in the country, and the balance of "Huinong e-loan" is 218.58 billion yuan; There are 1.4 million merchants in the county of "Huinong e-business", with a transaction volume of 51 billion yuan.

  While doing a good job in online financial services, banks also provide timely assistance to enterprises and individuals who cannot complete their business through online channels, and provide timely credit by taking off-site applications and surveys.

  Increase the intensity of agricultural loans.

  While efficiently ensuring the capital demand of key epidemic prevention enterprises, the banking industry has increased the credit supply in the areas of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, helped the production of agricultural and sideline products, and ensured the demand for credit funds for the supply of agricultural materials for spring ploughing.

  "On the basis of understanding the demand, we should increase the investment in agricultural credit." Dong Ximiao believes that "compared with previous years, the start-up time of spring ploughing in some areas this year will be affected to some extent, so enterprises and farmers will have more urgent financial needs related to spring ploughing, which has higher requirements for the time limit for business acceptance. Therefore, it is particularly important to simplify the credit procedures, optimize the loan process, open a green channel, quickly examine and approve, and send the spring ploughing credit funds to farmers in time and quickly. "

  The Financial Times reporter learned from the Agricultural Development Bank that the bank simplified the loan procedures in time and made every effort to do a good job in credit. Since January 26th, the Agricultural Development Bank has implemented a preferential interest rate policy for enterprises engaged in spring ploughing and preparing for ploughing in major epidemic areas, put an end to blindly lending, cutting off loans and suppressing loans, and extended or renewed loans for enterprises seriously affected by the epidemic.

  From October 1 last year to February 10 this year, the Agricultural Development Bank issued a total of 5.7 billion yuan in reserve fertilizer loans; From January 1 to February 10 this year, 2.8 billion yuan of agricultural loans for seeds, fertilizers, agricultural machinery and equipment were issued, and 3.5 billion yuan of loans for high-standard farmland construction, rural land transfer and large-scale operation were issued. As of February 10, the Agricultural Development Bank has issued a total of 12 billion yuan in loans to support spring ploughing.

  The Financial Times reporter learned from the Agricultural Bank of China that, in combination with the large demand for farmers’ credit during the spring ploughing season, the bank actively explored the situation of agricultural machinery, pesticides, seeds and other enterprises affected by the epidemic, increased the credit scale, established a green channel, lowered the loan interest rate, and made efforts to meet the credit demand for agricultural production. Up to now, the bank’s balance of farmers’ loans is 1.65 trillion yuan, an increase of 39.7 billion yuan from the beginning of the year.

  While increasing investment in agricultural loans, Dong Ximiao proposed that policy support should also be strengthened. "Preferential prices and preferential loan interest rates are adopted for areas and farmers seriously affected by the epidemic to help them reduce losses and reduce burdens."

  It is reported that the Agricultural Bank of China has scientifically set various loan interest rates for spring ploughing, and the lowest executable LPR benchmark interest rate has dropped by 1 percentage point, effectively reducing the financial burden of "three rural" customers. Yang Bo, director of the financial department of agriculture, rural areas and farmers of the Postal Savings Bank, said that the Postal Savings Bank had given preferential interest rates, continued lending and extended repayment period to the "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" customers who had a great impact on the epidemic. In Shandong, ICBC strengthened cooperation with Shandong Agricultural Development Credit Guarantee Co., Ltd. and jointly issued special preferential policies to support spring ploughing production.

  Ensure supply, stabilize prices and grasp production during epidemic period.

  At present, China is in a special period of epidemic prevention and control. It is also of great significance to protect the supply of agricultural means of production, ensure the quality of agricultural products, maintain the stability of agricultural prices and help farmers to resume production in spring.

  It is reported that in order to help stabilize the price of chemical fertilizer market, the Agricultural Development Bank of Henan Branch has supported the chemical fertilizer reserve and operation in Henan Wanzhuang Chemical Fertilizer Trading Market to ensure sufficient supply of agricultural products and stable prices during the epidemic; In Gansu, the Agricultural Development Bank lent 30 million yuan to Lanzhou New Area Modern Agriculture Investment Group Co., Ltd. to support enterprises to purchase productive materials such as plastic film, seeds and fertilizers, so as to ensure the supply of fruits and vegetables in the epidemic prevention and control period and subsequent markets.

  In order to promote stable production, supply and price of agricultural products, protect farmers’ interests and stabilize people’s livelihood, the Agricultural Bank of China recently launched a special policy to strengthen the demand for credit funds for agricultural and sideline products production and spring ploughing and agricultural materials supply, and to serve the work of ensuring stable supply and price and spring ploughing and agricultural materials supply.

  On February 14th, with the support of hengfeng bank and other financial institutions, Nanjing Agricultural and Sideline Products Logistics and Distribution Center Co., Ltd. successfully issued the first single epidemic prevention and control bond of agricultural and sideline products in China, "300 million yuan for the first phase of non-public issuance of corporate bonds in 2020". The issuance of this bond has helped to ensure the supply of "food basket" during the epidemic prevention and control period.

  It is worth mentioning that while policy banks, large state-owned banks and joint-stock banks actively support spring ploughing and maintain the price stability of agricultural products, rural small and medium-sized financial institutions also play an important role. Take Jiangyong Rural Commercial Bank of Hunan as an example. Since the beginning of this year, the bank has invested 50 million yuan in agricultural loans. While actively organizing the investment of agricultural production funds, it has also increased the loan support of agricultural producers to ensure that the purchase funds of agricultural production materials such as seeds and fertilizers are sufficient to meet the spring ploughing production.

A greener city, a greener industry and a lower-carbon life —— Practice observation on promoting carbon reduction in many places

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 5th 

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  On June 5th, it was World Environment Day. The reporter visited many places in China recently and saw that a more environmentally friendly city, a greener industry and a lower-carbon lifestyle have gradually become a climate. Various fields actively promoted the practice of carbon reduction and strived to create a better life in which man and nature coexist harmoniously.

  From single building to the whole area, an environmentally friendly city with lower energy consumption.

  On Cuiyu Road, Liangjiang New District, Chongqing, there is a house full of flowers and plants called "Chongqing House". The bougainvillea blooming all over the wall is beautiful, and dozens of plants such as golden bamboo and ivy adorn the external wall of the building, which, together with the green plants planted on the roof, makes the building integrate with the natural landscape.

  Xiao Huang, deputy chief architect of Chongqing Bojian Architectural Planning and Design Co., Ltd. said: "The dense plants can help the building to insulate heat and cool down in summer, and the plants wither in winter. The direct sunlight can meet the indoor lighting requirements, and together with the tunnel wind system, solar energy absorber and rainwater collection pond, it can save electricity by 40% to 50% per square meter."

  The "Chongqing house" that can reduce consumption is not a case. According to the data released by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, by the first half of 2022, the proportion of new green buildings in China has exceeded 90%.

  All localities are constantly promoting the promotion and coverage of green buildings from single buildings to ecological urban areas and low-carbon cities. In Shanghai Qiantan International Business District, the sustainable development concept of "energy-saving, low-carbon and environment-friendly city" was written into the design drawings from the beginning.

  "More than 10 years ago, when it was still a construction site, we planned the comprehensive smart energy project of Qiantan Energy Center." Zhang Yuanyuan, general manager of Shanghai Electric Power Green Energy Co., Ltd. said that the energy center is based on natural gas, and adopts the technology of combined cooling, heating and power supply and energy storage to provide air-conditioning cold and heat sources for individual buildings in the region, "integrating the energy supply systems of independent and scattered individual buildings to realize centralized energy supply and unified coordination. At present, the comprehensive utilization efficiency of regional energy reaches 81.9%, saving energy by 35.6%. "

  From the park to the production line, the escalating green industry.

  The office area adopts the air conditioning mode of water storage centralized energy station to reduce the power generation cost; Public transportation, shared travel and other modes of transportation "zero distance" conversion and connection; Natural resources such as wetlands and waterfalls are reserved, and most areas are drained by natural ecological grass ditch … … Hainan Ecological Software Park, located in Chengmai County, Hainan Province, is exploring the construction of green industrial parks in all directions. Chunzhi Yang, the person in charge of the park, said that according to the conversion, the carbon emission per 10,000 yuan of output value is only two kilograms, "this is a very low value".

  From keeping a close eye on the "GDP per mu" of industrial land to calculating the carbon emissions per unit output value, the changes in the focus of industrial parks reflect that the concept of green development is constantly deepening. The peak carbon dioxide emissions Action Plan before 2030 issued by the State Council proposes to build a number of energy-saving and low-carbon parks that reach the international advanced level, and promote energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation in power, steel, petrochemical and other industries.

  Recently, the hydrogen supply project of hydrogen fuel cell in Chongqing Chuanwei Chemical Co., Ltd. of China Petrochemical Group has been completed, and it can supply more than 6,000 kilograms of high-purity hydrogen every day after it is put into use, meeting the hydrogenation demand of more than 300 hydrogen fuel vehicles.

  "A large amount of by-product hydrogen is produced in the production process of the enterprise, and we passed ‘ Complete hydrogen purification technology for fuel cell vehicles ’ Purification costs more than 30% less than conventional hydrogen production. " Hu Ze, deputy chief engineer of Chuanwei Chemical, introduced.

  Changing the "by-products" in production into "main products" with low carbon and environmental protection, the petrochemical industry is accelerating the pace of green transformation.

  At the same time, China’s non-fossil energy power generation industry is developing rapidly. According to the information released by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment on May 29th, from the comprehensive EIA approval from January to April this year, 952 photovoltaic power generation projects were involved, up by 132.2% year-on-year; There were 586 projects in the wind power industry, up 36% year-on-year.

  From fashion to habit, into a daily low-carbon life.

  Gubei Garden Community, a gorgeous family in Changning District, Shanghai, has a bright green bill: in the past 18 years, the community has carried out energy conservation and emission reduction for public buildings, saving an average of 38,000 kWh per month; Carry out wastewater utilization, and discharge the wastewater from the water purification system into the landscape pool through the construction of pipelines, saving more than 60,000 cubic meters of water; Domestic waste classification is implemented, and the recycling rate of dry and wet waste reaches 14.33% through wet waste composting & hellip; …

  Residents often sit together and talk about some green topics: what else can recycled bottles and cans do? How to build an ecological space more suitable for the survival of insects and better protect biodiversity in the community? "People often say that a green lifestyle is a fashion, and we hope that through long-term practice, fashion will become a habit, so that being close to nature, protecting the environment and advocating a green and low-carbon lifestyle will become people’s daily natural choices." Chen Lei, deputy director of Gubei Garden Community Committee of Gorgeous Family, said.

  In March this year, the Measures for the Management of Carbon Pratt & Whitney in Hainan Province (Trial) was officially implemented. "This is an innovative voluntary emission reduction mechanism that rewards low-carbon behaviors and encourages the public to live a low-carbon life." Zhang Jing, director of the Finance Department of Climate Change and Science and Technology of Hainan Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, said, "For example, if the public chooses to drive new energy vehicles or take buses and other green modes of travel, they can get carbon points in accordance with the relevant provisions of carbon Pratt & Whitney, and exchange them for coupons, small gifts and other rewards."

  At present, many cities in China have carried out innovative exploration of carbon accounts, and each individual’s carbon reduction behavior will converge into an important force for the whole society to achieve the goal of "double carbon". The relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment said that we should actively practice the green production and lifestyle, promote the overall green transformation of economic and social development in high-quality development, and make every effort to build a harmonious coexistence between man and nature in beautiful homeland.
