I also invite comments from the members of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and other attendees. I. Review of Work in 2019 Theyearof2019markedthe70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. In honor of this grand occasion, China held splendid celebrations that fully inspired the people of all ethnic groups in the country to rally even closer around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. This boosted people’s firm confidence in socialism with Chinese characteristics and deep love for our great motherland, and it gathered mighty power for Chinese Dream. General Secretary Xi Jinping once again sent a congratulatory letter to the China International Big Data Industry Expo, attaching great importance to the development of Guizhou. His support to Guizhou greatly encouraged and inspired the whole — 30 — province. One year on, we have adhered to the guiding principles of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. We have thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the 2nd,the3rd and the 4th plenary sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee. We have firmly implemented the important instructions of General Secretary Xi on Guizhou and enhanced our awareness to keep firmly in mind the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core and keep in alignment. We have strengthened our confidence in the path, theory, system and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We have resolutely upheld General Secretary Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and upheld the Party Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Guizhou Provincial Committee, as well as the supervision and support of the People’s Congress of Guizhou Province and Guizhou Provincial Committee of the CPPCC, we have kept in mind important missions entrusted , forged ahead with gratitude, worked hard despite pressure and fulfilled the targets set during the 2nd Session of the 13th People’s Congress of Guizhou Province, creating a good atmosphere for embracing the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and presenting fruitful results. We continued to lead the country in economic growth rate. Guizhou’s regional gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 8.3%, and its growth rates have ranked among the top in China for nine consecutive years. In addition, new breakthroughs have been made in catching up and overtaking other regions in China. — 31 — We made remarkable accomplishments in the fight against poverty. The relocation of 1.88 million people from poverty-stricken areas was completed, thus fundamentally changing the fate of impoverished people who lived in inhospitable areas. The number of impoverished people in rural areas was reduced by 1.24 million, and the poverty incidence dropped to 0.85%, laying a solid foundation for thoroughly removing the label of poverty and winning the battle against poverty. We made fruitful achievements in the rural industrial revolution. The added value of agriculture was predicted to increase by 5.7%, ranking among the highest nationwide. Twelve characteristic competitive agricultural industries developed rapidly. In flatlands, the average output growth per mu was over 30%. Our agriculture and rural areas saw unprecedented transformation. We improved the quality and efficiency of ten industries valued above RMB 100 billion each. The industrial added value above designated size was predicted to increase by 9.6%, ranking among the highest in China. The total output value of these ten industries exceeded RMB 1.2 trillion. The growth rates of our digital economy have ranked first in China for four consecutive years. All of these achievements have provided strong support for our high-quality development. We further strengthened our position as a transportation hub. The Chengdu-Guiyang High-Speed Railway was completed and opened to traffic, contributing to a total operating length of 1,432 kilometers. The traffic length of the expressways exceeded 7,000 kilometers, and the passenger throughput of civil aviation surpassed 30 million. Guizhou significantly raised its strategic — 32 — position in regional development. We continued to optimize our ecological environment. The percentage of days with good or excellent air quality in areas above the county level was 98.3%, and the forest coverage rate reached 58.5%. The quality of surface water was good or excellent in general. The golden brand of ecological civilization in Guizhou has become more and more shining. Incomes of residents steadily increased. 784,900 new jobs were created in urban areas and the per capita disposable incomes of urban and rural residents were expected to increase by around 9% and 10.5% respectively. The growth rate of residents’ incomes still overran economic growth. Such accomplishments did not come easily. Over the past year, we confronted a severer and more complicated external environment, intense risks and challenges both at home and abroad, and increasingly heavy downward economic pressure, as well as more restraints in all aspects. Yet we consistently maintained a strategic focus and determination in both work and style. We persisted in making overall plans for economic and social development based on poverty alleviation, and we firmly pursued balance between development and eco-environment. We vigorously advanced the three critical battles (to prevent and defuse major risks, to realize targeted poverty relief and to prevent and treat pollution), deeply implemented the three strategic actions (of poverty alleviation, big data and sound eco-environment), accelerated the construction of three national pilot zones (National Comprehensive Pilot Zone for Big Data, National Pilot Zone for Eco-Civilization and National Pilot Zone for Inland Open Economy), firmly implemented the requirements for the six stabilities (namely, for ensuring — 33 — sufficient employment, finance, foreign trade, foreign funds, investment and strong confidence) and focused on strengthening key points and weaknesses. Under the leadership of the provincial leaders, officials at all levels assisted enterprises and projects in coping with difficulties, effectively addressed risks and challenges and resisted downward pressure. The economy of Guizhou has maintained sound growth momentum at a high level for years in a row. Our efforts mainly included the following seven aspects. First, we made our best to alleviate poverty and to eradicate extreme poverty. We deeply conducted the “Spring Action”, “Summer and Autumn Decisive Battle” and “Winter Preparatory Action”, and with all our strength fought the battle on four fronts (infrastructure construction focusing on building roads that connect all units below village level, relocation of rural residents living in inhospitable areas, poverty alleviation through the development of industries, and the guarantee of wide access to education, medical care and housing). We also fully implemented a new round of the five special treatment projects (to correct mistakes in five aspects, namely incomplete or wrong evaluation of impoverished households, shortening of the impoverished population list, renovation of dilapidated houses for the sake of appearance, misuse of funds and corruption in poverty alleviation). In addition, we gave priority to seeing that the basic living needs of poor rural populations are met and that they have access to compulsory education, basic medical services and housing. We preliminarily realized “zero” drop-outs of students from registered poverty-stricken families, basically completed the construction of village clinics and the allocation of qualified doctors to administrative villages, and basically finished the renovation of dilapidated rural houses while making sure that the houses could shelter from wind and rain and have separate living spaces for livestock. We basically ensured that 2,882,400 — 34 — people had safe drinking water in rural areas. We completed 78,700 kilometers of hardened roads connecting all village units. In addition, we have deeply advanced a rural industrial revolution. The added value of the agricultural industry increased by 8.3%. Cooperatives of farmers covered 68,100 households, and the sales of agricultural products through the campaign of “Marketing Guizhou’s Products Beyond Guizhou” reached RMB 32 billion, an increase of 8.3%. Houses for relocated impoverished people were constructed, and the construction of the Five Systems (providing follow-up support of basic public services, training and employment services, cultural services, and improving community governance and Party building at the primary level)
