Xi steers China into sweeping green transition

China Daily  

A photo taken on Aug 11, 2023 shows the village of Yucun in East China's Zhejiang province. This statement by Chinese President Xi Jinping is vividly exemplified by the people of Anji county in East China's Zhejiang province, where a shift in perception has successfully driven a green transition. These sweeping changes in the local geographic and economic landscape were made possible after Xi, then Party chief of Zhejiang province, made an inspection tour to the county's Yucun village on Aug 15, 2005. During his trip in June to Qinghai province, home to Qinghai Lake, China's largest inland saltwater lake, Xi urged the province to accelerate its development into a world-class salt lake industrial hub, a national highland for the clean energy industry, an international eco-tourism destination, and a supplier of green and organic agricultural and livestock products. In a congratulatory letter to the Green Development Forum of Shanghai Cooperation Organization Countries in July, Xi stressed that China, committed to the philosophy that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, has unswervingly pursued a development model featuring improved production, better living standards and healthy ecosystems.
