“The 14th Five-Year Plan period represents a crucial five-year span in which, after our province has, in tandem with the rest of the country, completed the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, we will build on this momentum to thoroughly implement the important requirement of \"four solid efforts,\" continue to pursue the goals of \"one excellence and two highs,\" and embark on a new journey toward fully building a modern socialist society from this new starting point. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the 9th Plenary Session of the 13th Qinghai Provincial Committee of China thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party, further deepened its understanding of the provincial situation, and put forward the following recommendations regarding the formulation of the 14th Five-Year Plan for national economic and social development as well as the long-term goals for 2035. I. Building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and embarking on a new journey toward fully building a modern socialist country 1. Historic achievements have been made in the development of a new Qinghai. “The 13th Five-Year Plan period is the decisive stage for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. Faced with a complex development environment, arduous tasks related to reform, development, and stability, as well as the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, under the strong leadership of Comrade ** at its core and guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we have thoroughly studied and implemented the important speech spirit delivered by ** during his inspection tour in Qinghai. We have resolutely carried out his major decisions and arrangements, uniting and leading Party members across the province as well as cadres and people of all ethnic groups to proactively adapt to the new stage of development and the new changes in society’s principal contradictions. By fully understanding the new situations regarding structural transformation and shifts in driving forces, we have managed to cope with economic downturn pressures and various risks and challenges. In light of the overall goals of modernization drive, we have formulated the “one excellence, two highs” strategic plan, making steady progress in putting socialism with Chinese characteristics into practice in Qinghai. Significant new achievements have been made in building a prosperous, civilized, harmonious, and beautiful new Qinghai, and the province is on track to achieve comprehensive modernization in tandem with the rest of the country. By consistently adhering to a targeted strategy, decisive victories have been achieved in the fight against poverty. All 42 impoverished counties (cities, districts) have been removed from the list of poor areas; 539,000 people registered as poor were helped to emerge out of poverty one year ahead of schedule. The targets of doubling the regional GDP and per capita income of urban and rural residents by 2010 were achieved one year earlier, enabling people of all ethnic groups to enjoy a better standard of living. By always giving top priority to ecological protection, **the role of the ecological security barrier has become even more solid. Full-scale efforts have been launched to establish a **park demonstration province** through collaboration between the province and the central government; the pilot projects related to **parks** have been completed with high quality. An action plan for the protection of the \"Water Tower of China\" has been issued and implemented, and active measures are being taken to protect the \"Third Pole\" of the Earth. Substantial progress has been made in the development of areas that serve as models for ecological civilization. High-quality development is continuously promoted, and the green industrial system is being accelerated in its establishment. **The construction of key clean energy bases and green organic livestock farming facilities is being accelerated, and tourism has grown into a strategic pillar industry for the entire province. The development pattern of urban and rural areas has been optimized and upgraded; new progress has been made in the collaborative development of the Lansi city cluster. The appearance of urban and rural areas as well as the living environment have improved significantly, with the quality of life there becoming more suitable for both living and working. A number of major projects aimed at filling gaps and building up potential have been completed one after another; a comprehensive backbone transportation network has been essentially established; clean electricity is transmitted across provinces, and high-voltage power grids cover every county. Progress is being made in reform and innovation across various fields, with active integration into the Belt and Road Initiative. The advantages in terms of resources, location, and clustering are being utilized effectively at the appropriate times. The construction of comprehensive free trade zones and cross-border e-commerce pilot zones is accelerating, while poverty alleviation efforts between the eastern and western regions as well as support for Qinghai have yielded significant results. Always strive to create a high-quality life, bringing people’s well-being to its best level in history. Each year, over 75% of financial resources are allocated to projects related to people’s well-being. The income growth rates of urban and rural residents exceed those of the overall economy, with the income growth rates of farmers and herders being higher than those of urban residents. The system of basic public services is gradually being improved, and employment conditions continue to improve. Basic equalization of compulsory education has been achieved at the county level, while basic health insurance and basic pension insurance cover almost everyone. Families with low incomes and housing difficulties in urban areas receive the necessary support. The health level of the people has improved significantly. Significant strategic achievements have been made in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic. Local governance capabilities have improved significantly. All 8 cities (prefectures) have been established as national model areas for ethnic unity and progress. Significant progress has been made in building a law-based and peaceful Qinghai. The institutional mechanisms for preventing and mitigating major risks are continuously being improved. The level of work related to Tibet has improved significantly. Significant progress has been made in exercising full and strict governance over the Party, enhancing development and security safeguards. The political situation throughout the province is stable, and society is at peace. The sense of unity and cohesion among people of all ethnic groups around the leadership centered on Comrade ** has never been stronger; their confidence in the ‘four aspects of confidence’ has also increased, laying a solid foundation for successfully embarking on a new journey of modernization drive. The achievements made in the development of a new Qinghai have not come easily; the experience gained is extremely valuable, and the spirit embodied has a profound impact. Development teaches us that on the new journey of modernization, we must always keep pace with ****’s lead and follow ****’s rhythm, always bearing in mind ****’s earnest teachings regarding work in Qinghai, and use the important requirement of “four solid efforts” to guide the steady and sustainable development of a new Qinghai. It is necessary to strengthen political awareness, make solid progress in ecological and environmental protection, firmly uphold the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, take on the political responsibilities for ecological protection with determination, and strive to maximize the ecological value of Qinghai ; It is essential to maintain strategic focus and work diligently to promote the sustained and healthy development of the economy. By relying on reform, openness, and innovation, we should actively integrate into and contribute to the overall strategic framework, deepen supply-side structural reforms, and continuously transform potential resource advantages into actual developmental advantages ; It is essential to adhere to the people-centered approach, earnestly ensure and improve people’s well-being and strengthen social governance, promote a positive cycle of economic development and improved living standards, accelerate the shift from low-level broad coverage to high-level equality in terms of livelihood support, and push forward the cause of ethnic unity and progress to lead the country ; It is essential to keep the original aspirations and mission in mind, earnestly strengthen and standardize intra-Party political life, fully implement the overall requirements for Party building in the new era, continuously enhance the Party’s political leadership, ideological guidance, ability to organize the masses, and capacity to mobilize society, and push forward the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party in a deeper manner. 2. Opportunities and challenges in the new stage of development. The world today is undergoing profound changes on a scale not seen in a century; the international environment is becoming increasingly complex. A new round of scientific and technological revolutions and industrial transformations is driving deep changes in ways of production and living like never before. The COVID-19 pandemic has had wide-ranging and far-reaching impacts, and factors of instability and uncertainty are on the rise. Our country has entered a phase of high-quality development, with significant adjustments made to its regional development strategy and approach to opening up to the outside world, as well as an accelerated establishment of a new development pattern. Through long-term efforts, particularly the significant progress achieved during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the economic strength, ecological quality, and infrastructure of our province have improved. The stability, competitiveness, and resilience of its development have continued to increase, placing the province at a new historical starting point. However, the basic characteristics of our province, which remain at a relatively low level in the primary stage of socialism, have not changed, nor has the overall upward trend in economic and social development. “The connotation of the phased characteristic of \"two things remaining unchanged\" has undergone new changes: the industrial chain is generally located in the mid-to-lower levels of the value chain; industrialization lags behind urbanization; the levels of industrial modernization, economic marketization, and balanced livelihoods remain relatively low; modern production falls short of the demands of a modern lifestyle ; Lack of innovation-driven momentum, and there is an urgent need to address the shortage of talent ; Regional disparities between urban and rural areas remain significant, and basic public services as well as infrastructure at the grassroots level are still weak ; The task of building an ecological civilization remains arduous ; The pressure to prevent and mitigate major risks remains high ; The Party’s governance capacity in ethnic areas, as well as its level of social governance—particularly at the grassroots level—still needs further improvement. “During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the implementation of strategies such as the Belt and Road Initiative, efforts to foster development in the western regions, the pursuit of high-quality development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, rural revitalization, as well as cooperation and support between the eastern and western regions, presents us with valuable opportunities and broad prospects. Our province will be in an important stage where it focuses on consolidating the achievements of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, integrating more deeply into both the domestic economic cycle and the dual circulation system of domestic and international markets, and building momentum for modernization. This period is characterized by the overlapping effect of four trends: deeper progress in ecological civilization construction, a more optimized pattern of land use and conservation, a critical phase in advancing ecological civilization, and an increasing urgency to balance economic development with ecological environmental protection ; Green development has become an inherent requirement and a general consensus. It is shifting from being driven solely by production factors to being driven both by factors and efficiency, with efficiency and innovation working together. It is currently in a critical period of transformation and upgrading, and the need for a transition to new drivers of growth has become even more urgent ; The regional urban-rural development pattern is becoming more scientific; city clusters have emerged as the main spatial framework and driving force for high-quality development. They are currently in a period of reshaping their competitive advantages, and the need for integrated and coordinated development has become even more urgent ; The strategic advantage of serving as a link between the east and west has become even more prominent, with the reform efforts in key areas and critical links generating cumulative momentum. We are currently in a period of deeper reform and opening up, making it all the more urgent to use openness to drive reform and development. The entire province must enhance its awareness of opportunities and risks. Based on the temporary characteristics of the province’s situation, which remain unchanged in two aspects, it is necessary to maintain strategic focus, follow the laws of development, foster a spirit of struggle, adopt a bottom-line mindset, and be adept at turning crises into opportunities and changes into new prospects, so as to ensure that all endeavors in Qinghai continue to progress in the right direction. 3. Vision goals for 2035. Looking ahead to 2035, the economic and technological strength of our province will see a significant boost, with the total economic volume as well as the per capita income of urban and rural residents reaching new heights. The institutional mechanisms for ecological civilization have been further improved, **and the ecological security barrier is solid and robust. A comprehensive green industrial system has been established, with ecological production and living patterns developing in harmony, with the goal of becoming the first region in the country to reach a peak in carbon dioxide emissions. A new type of industrialization, informatization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization has been largely achieved; significant breakthroughs have been made in key technologies in certain fields, enabling the province to join the ranks of innovative provinces, and a modern economic system with Qinghai’s own characteristics has been established. A institutional framework suited to a prosperous, civilized, harmonious, and beautiful new Qinghai will be established; local governance will be modernized to a significant extent; a state governed by the rule of law, as well as a society governed by the rule of law, will be essentially achieved; and the level of safety and stability in Qinghai will be raised further. The level of social civilization has reached new heights, and the province’s reputation as a leader in cultural tourism and sports on the plateau has grown significantly. A new pattern of opening up to the outside world has been established, and the new advantages in participating in international economic cooperation have been significantly enhanced. Per capita regional GDP has increased significantly, the middle-income group has expanded markedly, and equal access to basic public services has been achieved. People’s lives have improved significantly; the gap in living standards between urban and rural residents has narrowed markedly. Substantial progress has been made in the all-round development of individuals and in achieving common prosperity, and socialist modernization has been largely achieved in line with the rest of the country. II. Guiding Principles and Main Objectives for Qinghai’s Development during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period 4. Guiding Principles. Holding high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we thoroughly implement the spirit of the Party’s * and the second, third, fourth, and fifth plenary sessions of the 19th Central Committee. Guided by Marxism-Leninism, * Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of “Three Represents,” the Scientific Outlook on Development, and ** Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we fully apply the Party’s basic theories, lines, and strategies. We advance the overall plan of “five-sphere integration” in a coordinated manner and promote the strategic framework of “four comprehensives.” We unswervingly adhere to the new development philosophy, maintain a general approach of seeking progress while ensuring stability. With high-quality development as the theme, deepening supply-side structural reforms as the main focus, innovation and reform as the driving force, and meeting the people’s growing needs for a better life as the ultimate goal, we balance development and security, accelerate the construction of a modern economic system, keep pace with the times by addressing the major requirements of “four solid efforts,” and rely on the strategic plan of “one excellence and two highs” to integrate fully into the new development pattern. We promote innovation in local governance systems and enhance governance capabilities, striving to lay a solid foundation for building a modern Qinghai that is driven by innovation, oriented toward sustainability, open to the outside world, coordinated and integrated, and characterized by shared prosperity. We are determined to write a new chapter in building a prosperous, civilized, harmonious, and beautiful Qinghai. 5. Major principles and important relationships. Fully implement the major principles of upholding the Party’s overall leadership, putting the people at the center, adhering to the new development philosophy, deepening reform and opening up, and adopting a systematic approach. Further understand and handle well the following important relationships: —— the relationship between protection and development. Based on the provincial characteristics defined by the \"three biggest\" factors, it adheres to giving priority to ecological protection, pursuing development while safeguarding the environment and protecting it while fostering development. It strives to align the population size and distribution as well as the industrial structure and layout with the carrying capacity of natural resources, thereby promoting a comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. ——The relationship between quality and quantity. It is necessary to effectively transform the mode of development, uphold the integration of quality priority and stable growth, strengthen the foundation for development, address existing weaknesses, and build competitive advantages; promote changes in quality, efficiency, and driving forces, with a focus on establishing a new pattern of development. ——The relationship between space and time. We must strengthen forward-looking thinking, comprehensive planning, and integrated advancement; focus on the long term while paying attention to the present, handle well the tasks of development and security, enhance the economic and population carrying capacity of key development areas, improve their role in ensuring ecological security and maintaining border stability, and boost the significance of Qinghai. ——The relationship between the self and the global. Make full use of external conditions to better leverage our own strengths. Continue to be proactive and strive for ** support, so as to integrate into the ** development strategy at a higher level and demonstrate Qinghai’s commitment to supporting the overall ** development efforts. ——The relationship between inheritance and innovation. Adhere to and promote the new Qinghai spirit, drive deeper reforms through broader and higher-level openness, strengthen and improve institutional frameworks, remove the institutional barriers that hinder high-quality development and a high standard of living, uphold the central role of innovation in the overall process of modernization, and continuously enhance the momentum and vitality of innovation-driven development. 6. Overall layout. The overall strategy for our province to embark on a new journey of modernization is as follows: prioritize ecological protection, promote high-quality development and create a high-quality lifestyle; work together to safeguard the \"third pole\" of the Earth; foster the development of four types of economic models – ecological economy, circular economy, digital economy, and platform economy; and build a province that serves as a model in five areas: parks, clean energy, green and organic agricultural and livestock products, beautiful towns in high-altitude regions, and ethnic unity and progress. By establishing such an overall layout, it carries forward historical experience, grasps development trends, demonstrates a sense of responsibility, highlights existing advantages and potential, meets the expectations of the people, and particularly reflects the positioning of Qinghai as one of the \"three most important\" provinces. This will surely inspire the enthusiasm of people of all ethnic groups in the province to love Qinghai, build it up, and contribute to its development, thereby creating a brighter future for Qinghai. To effectively implement the overall plan, it is essential to identify the main focus and breakthrough points for modernization efforts. The key tasks include accelerating the development of “two new areas and one major project”—namely, new types of infrastructure, new urbanization, as well as major projects in transportation and water conservancy. Additionally, it is necessary to establish “four systems”: a modern governance system, a nature conservation system, a modern industrial system, and a public health service system. Finally, efforts should be made to promote innovative development in “three types of industrial parks” dedicated to industry, agriculture, and high-tech industries. 7. Main objectives. Aiming at the long-term goal for 2035, we will adhere to a combination of goal-oriented, problem-oriented, and result-oriented approaches, uphold the unity of maintaining integrity and fostering innovation, and pursue coordinated development in line with the rest of the country.
