Construction of a Modern Infrastructure System was Accelerated
Unity can win, struggle will succeed.
Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, our Party, relying closely on the people, has overcome seemingly insurmountable difficulties and created one miracle after another. Looking back on the extraordinary decade, the land of China is changing rapidly and its infrastructure has been comprehensively strengthened.
Look at the scale. The total length of the comprehensive transportation network has exceeded 6 million kilometers, with more than 840,000 kilometers of 220 kilovolt or above power transmission lines. The total length of optical cable lines has reached 54.81 million kilometers, 1.3 times, 1.7 times and 3.7 times of that of 10 years ago, respectively. China ranks first in the world in terms of the scale of high-speed railways, expressways, power grids and 4G networks.
Look at the mass. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and other major projects have been completed and put into operation, and the Beijing-Shanghai-Trunk Line, the world's first quantum secure communication backbone, has been completed... A number of landmark projects lead the world, demonstrating the style of a major country.
Historic achievements have been made in the development of transportation, energy, water conservancy and new infrastructure, which have strongly guaranteed our economic and social development.
Delegates said that infrastructure is an important support for economic and social development, and that development and security should be balanced, the layout, structure, function and development model of infrastructure should be optimized, and a modern infrastructure system should be built to lay a solid foundation for comprehensively building a modern socialist country.
Speed up the building of China into a transportation powerhouse
Sichuan-tibet Post Road Kangding to Dege section, known as the snow line post road. With an altitude of 6,168 meters, Cherer Mountain is known as "the first risk in Sichuan and Tibet". Local people say, "A car over the Cherer Mountain is like going through the jaws of death." In the past ten years, the traffic in Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province has changed by a thousand miles a day. The highway from Chengdu to Kangding and the tunnel through the Cherer Mountain have shortened the "first risk of Sichuan and Tibet" to a 10-minute drive. Now the Sichuan-Tibet Railway is also being built.
"It used to take more than a week to send an email from Chengdu to Derge, now it only takes three days. Ganzi Prefecture has not only built highways, but also three airports. Matsutake from Yajiang and Daocheng, yak beef from Litang, red wine from Xiangcheng, Tibetan medicine from Dege... We're shipping them almost every day." Talking about the great changes in plateau traffic, Qi Mei Duoji, leader of the postal driving team of China Post Group Co., LTD. Garze County Branch in Sichuan Province, who has been sticking to the Snow Line Post road for 33 years, was overwhelmed with emotion.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the construction of China's modern comprehensive three-dimensional transportation system, strategic backbone channels and multi-level integrated transportation hub system has been accelerated.
The scale advantage is obvious. By the end of 2021, China will have 150,000 kilometers of railways in operation, 160,000 kilometers of expressways, 4.466 million kilometers of rural roads, 250 airports and 5,581 air routes, and 128,000 kilometers of inland waterways open to traffic.
The layout is more balanced. The length of railways in operation in the central and western regions accounted for 60% of the national proportion. Every county has access to roads, and rural roads have increased by more than 900,000 kilometers over the past decade.
Service quality improved. China's high-speed railways cover more than 95 percent of cities with a population of more than one million, expressways cover more than 98 percent of cities with a population of more than 200,000, and civil transport airports cover about 92 percent of prefecture-level cities. Nearly 300 million express deliveries were handled every day, and 100 percent of qualified administrative villages had access to buses.
"The report of the Party's 20th National Congress called for speeding up the building of China into a transportation powerhouse. As a veteran of the transportation front for many years, I feel that the mission is glorious and the responsibility is on my shoulder. I will continue to firmly fulfill the purpose of 'People's Post for the people' and bring quality transportation services to the people's life." Its midogi is full of energy.
"The continuous improvement and upgrading of the transport infrastructure system will strongly support the establishment of a new development pattern." An official from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said that over the past decade, domestic, international and trans-regional transport infrastructure connectivity has been significantly improved, with people and materials moving more easily and resources flowing more smoothly.
From following to leading, China's high-speed railways connect countless urban and rural areas and shorten the distance between time and space in China. Zheng Xiaoyan, deputy director of the Electrical Maintenance Technology Center of Zhengzhou high-speed Railway Infrastructure Section of China Railway Zhengzhou Bureau Group Co., LTD., on behalf of Zheng, Chongqing, Zhengfu, ShangheHangzhou and other new high-speed railway lines, participated in the train control system construction and joint commissioning and trial work in recent years, to ensure the safety of the opening and operation of each new line. "The new new journey, I will be as the guidance, in the spirit of the party's two big we will continue to do a good job, make full of vigour, Benedict is not idle, to ensure the safety of passenger trains, polish for China's high-speed rail business card, we will accelerate the development of the traffic power." Zheng Xiaoyan said.
Deepen the energy revolution
To develop the economy and improve people's livelihood, energy is an important guarantee. Over the past decade, China's energy production has grown at an average annual rate of 2.4 percent, supporting an average annual growth rate of 6.6 percent of the national economy, and its energy self-sufficiency rate has remained above 80 percent for a long time. China has constructed multiple clean energy supply system, and formed an energy infrastructure network that spans east and west, traverses north and south, covers the whole country, and communicates overseas, which strongly guarantees the energy demand of economic and social development.
The energy infrastructure to ensure supply has improved. China has built the world's largest power system, with installed generating capacity of 2.47 billion kW. 33 ultra-high voltage power transmission channels have been put into operation, with nearly 300 million kW of power being sent from west to east. A national oil and gas network has taken shape, covering more than 180,000 kilometers.
Construction of green and low-carbon energy infrastructure was accelerated. The total installed capacity of renewable energy power exceeded 1.1 billion kW, nearly three times that of a decade ago, accounting for more than 30 percent of the world's total installed capacity of renewable energy. China ranks first in the world in the installed capacity of hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic, biomass power and nuclear power under construction.
New energy infrastructure is booming. The digitalization and intellectualization of energy infrastructure continued to improve, the construction of smart power grids was accelerated, and the automation coverage of power distribution exceeded 90% in 2021. The construction of intelligent coal mines has been accelerated, with more than 800 intelligent mining faces built. New energy storage has developed rapidly and diversified, with the scale exceeding 4 million kW.
"Generally speaking, the country has made remarkable achievements in the development of energy infrastructure, providing strong support for comprehensively building a modern socialist country." The relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration introduced that it is expected that the investment in key areas of energy during the "14th Five-Year Plan" will increase by more than 20% compared with the "13th Five-Year Plan", which will provide strong impetus for expanding effective investment and promoting the smooth operation of the economy.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to further promote the energy revolution, strengthen the clean and efficient use of coal, intensify the exploration and development of oil and gas resources and increase the storage and production of oil and gas resources, accelerate the planning and construction of a new energy system, coordinate hydropower development and ecological protection, actively develop nuclear power in a safe and orderly way, and strengthen the construction of a system for energy production, supply, storage and marketing, so as to ensure energy security.
"This fully reflects the CPC Central Committee's great attention to energy transformation and energy security, and is a spur and incentive for us power workers." As a front-line technical worker in the industry, Ji Jiehong, director assistant of Maintenance Department and thermal control specialist of Huaneng Shantou Haimen Power Generation Co., LTD., has participated in energy-saving optimization and ultra-low emission transformation of power plants and other projects. At present, Shantou city in Guangdong province is speeding up the development of offshore wind power industry. "I will earnestly study and grasp the Party's 20 spirit, and continue to work with my colleagues to promote the formation of green and low-carbon production mode, to ensure the national energy security." Ji Jiehong said.
Rural life is moving towards modernization
Drinking water safety in rural areas concerns the livelihood and well-being of farmers. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, China has invested 466.7 billion yuan in rural water supply projects, solved the problem of safe drinking water for 280 million rural residents, and consolidated and improved water supply for 340 million rural residents. In particular, China has comprehensively solved the problem of safe drinking water for 17.1 million registered poor people, properly solved the problem of excessive drinking water fluoride for 9.75 million rural people and the problem of replacing brackish water with salty water for 1.2 million rural people.
At present, the rural tap water penetration rate has reached 84%, 19 percentage points higher than in 2012. By the end of 2021, China had 8.27 million rural water supply projects serving 900 million people. Many places have made significant progress from buckets to pipes and from poor quality water to quality water.
Chongqing Wansheng Jingkai District Wandong Town Wuhe Village Party branch secretary, village committee director Zhou Dongqin representative felt the significant progress of rural residents drinking water, "our district in recent years to vigorously implement rural drinking water safety consolidation and improvement project, new water supply stations, new water plant structures, new disinfection equipment and supporting pipe network, We have completely solved the problem of drinking water for more than 6,000 people in seven formerly national-level poor villages, including Wuhe Village in Wandong Town, and now the villages have water supply to all households."
According to the report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC, modern living conditions will be basically available in rural areas by 2035. Zhou Dongqin said that the villagers have more to look forward to and more confidence to develop production. "Modernization cannot be achieved without the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. We should roll up our sleeves and work harder to make rural life more modernized.
Water resource spatiotemporal distribution is extremely uneven, the special water situation decided our country is one of the most onerous and difficult water control countries in the world.
"Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the construction of major water conservancy projects has been accelerated as the state's investment in water conservancy and other infrastructure has been increasing." In recent years, he has continuously strengthened technological innovation, participated in more than 2,000 water conservancy planning and design projects, and witnessed the continuous improvement of China's water conservancy infrastructure system, according to the full-time deputy chief engineer of Yiyang Water Conservancy and Hydropower Survey, Design and Research Institute Co., LTD.
Flood control and drainage capacity has been improved. Over the past decade, China has carried out large-scale projects to improve small and medium-sized rivers and reinforce dangerous reservoirs. The capacity of new reservoirs has increased by 105.1 billion cubic meters, and 56,500 kilometers of new Grade 5 or above embankments have been built. Major rivers have formed a flood control engineering system with embankments, control hubs and flood storage and detention areas as the backbone.
Water supply and irrigation capacity continued to improve. In the past ten years, 54 trans-watershed and trans-regional water transfer projects, such as the first phase of the East middle route of the South-to-north water diversion project and the first phase of diverting water from the Yangtze River to the Yangtze River, have been constructed, and a number of large water supply reservoirs and large irrigation areas have been constructed. The effective irrigation area of farmland has increased by 100 million mu. Water conservancy projects nationwide have an annual water supply capacity of 890 billion cubic meters, ensuring the safety of water supply in urban and rural areas.
"As water conservancy workers, we will focus on promoting the construction of major water conservancy projects, water-saving renovation projects, ecological governance projects and other water conservancy projects with strong foundation, enhanced functions and long-term benefits. We will actively build a water conservancy infrastructure network with smooth circulation, coordinated functions, safety and reliability, and easy control, so as to provide solid water conservancy support for accelerating the construction of a modern economic system and building a new development pattern." "Said the crop.
New infrastructure supports innovation-driven development
The report to the Party's 20th National Congress stressed accelerating the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy. New infrastructure is an important part of the modern infrastructure system and an important support for implementing the strategy of innovation-driven development and promoting high-quality economic and social development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, initial progress has been made in the construction of new infrastructure.
The upgrading of information infrastructure was accelerated. In the past ten years, the length of optical fibers has increased by 2.7 times, and every county has access to 5G and every village has access to broadband. Ai infrastructure has accelerated the layout, and the scale of data centers has reached 5.9 million standard racks.
Integration of infrastructure to speed up layout. The construction of a three-dimensional intelligent transportation system has accelerated, and new forms of transportation such as unmanned terminals and autonomous driving have emerged. More than 90 percent of airports have become paperless and convenient. The national industrial Internet network, platform, security and logo analysis system has been basically completed; Construction of e-commerce, telemedicine, online education and other facilities for people's livelihood accelerated.
The improvement of innovation infrastructure was accelerated. A relatively complete system of major science and technology infrastructure has been built.
