Construction of a modern infrastructure system was accelerated



Unity can win and struggle can succeed. 

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, our Party has closely relied on the people, overcome seemingly insurmountable difficulties and obstacles, and created a remarkable human miracle. Looking back on the extraordinary decade, the land of China has changed rapidly, and the infrastructure has been comprehensively strengthened.

Look at the scale. The total length of the comprehensive transportation network exceeded 6 million kilometers, and the total length of 220 kilovolt or above transmission lines exceeded 840,000 kilometers, and the total length of optical cable lines reached 54.81 million kilometers, 1.3 times, 1.7 times and 3.7 times of that of a decade ago, respectively. China's high-speed rail, expressways, power grid, 4G network scale is ranked first in the world.

Look at the quality. Major projects such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge 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 big country.

Historic achievements have been made in the development of transportation, energy, water conservancy and new infrastructure, which have strongly guaranteed China's economic and social development.

The delegates said that infrastructure is an important support for economic and social development, and it is necessary to balance development and security, optimize the layout, structure, function and development mode of infrastructure, and build a modern infrastructure system to lay a solid foundation for comprehensively building a modern socialist country.

We will speed up the building of a strong transport country

Sichuan-tibet Post Road Kangding to Dege section, known as the snow line post road. With an altitude of 6,168 meters, Chouer Mountain is known as the "first risk in Sichuan and Tibet". As the local people say, "Passing the Chouer Mountain is like passing the gate of death." In the past decade, the traffic changes in Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, thousands of miles a day, from Chengdu to Kangding through the high-speed tunnel through the Chouer Mountain, so that through the "first risk of Sichuan and Tibet" shortened to 10 minutes by car. Now, the Sichuan-Tibet railway is also being built.

"It used to take more than a week to send mail from Chengdu to Dege, now it only takes three days. Ganzi Prefecture not only built a highway, but also built three airports. Matsutake from Yajiang and Daocheng, yak beef from Litang, red wine from Xiangcheng, Tibetan medicine from Dege... We're shipping it almost every day." Talking about the great changes in plateau traffic, Qi Mei Duoji, the leader of the postal driving group of China Post Group Co., Ltd. in Sichuan Province's Garze County branch, who has adhered to the snow line post road for 33 years, was overwhelmed with emotion.

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the construction of China's modern comprehensive three-dimensional transportation system has been accelerated, the construction of strategic backbone channels has been accelerated, and the multi-level integrated comprehensive transportation hub system has been gradually improved.

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 open to traffic, 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. Railway operating mileage in the central and western regions accounted for 60% of the national proportion. Every county has roads, and rural roads have increased by more than 900,000 kilometers in the past ten years.

Service quality improved. China's high-speed railways cover more than 95 percent of cities with a population of more than one million, expressways 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. Express delivery handled nearly 300 million items a day, and 100 percent of qualified villages had buses.

"The report of the Party's 20th National Congress proposed to accelerate the construction of a powerful country in transportation. As a veteran rooted in 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 implement the purpose of 'people's post for the people', and add to the people's better life with quality transportation services." He is full of energy.

"The continuous improvement and upgrading of the transport infrastructure system strongly supports the construction of a new development pattern." The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission introduced that in the past ten years, the level of domestic and international and cross-regional transportation infrastructure connectivity has been significantly improved, the transportation of personnel and materials has become more convenient, and the flow of resource factors has become smoother.

From following to leading, China's high-speed rail connects countless urban and rural areas, shortening the time and space distance of the land of China. In recent years, 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. participated in the construction and joint commissioning and testing of the train control system of Zhengyu, Zhengfu, ShangheHangzhou and other new high-speed railway lines to ensure the safety of the opening and operation of new lines. "On a new journey in the new era, guided by the spirit of the Party's 20 National Congress, I will continue to do my job well, 踔厉 work hard and diligently to ensure the safety of passenger trains, and contribute to polishing the name card of China's high-speed railways and accelerating the construction of China's transportation power." Zheng Xiaoyan said.

We will deepen the energy revolution

To develop the economy and improve people's livelihood, energy is an important guarantee. In the past ten years, China's energy production has supported an average annual growth of 6.6% of the national economy with an average annual growth of 2.4%, and the energy self-sufficiency rate has been stable for a long time at more than 80%. China has built a diversified and clean energy supply system, forming an east-west, north-south, nationwide, and overseas energy infrastructure network, which effectively meets the energy needs of economic and social development.

The energy infrastructure to ensure supply has been improved. China has built the world's largest power system with 2.47 billion kilowatts of installed power generation capacity. 33 ultra-high voltage power transmission channels have been built and put into operation, with nearly 300 million kilowatts of power being sent from west to east. "A national oil and gas network" has taken shape, with a pipeline network of more than 180,000 kilometers.

The construction of green and low-carbon energy infrastructure was accelerated. The total installed capacity of renewable energy generation exceeded 1.1 billion kilowatts, nearly three times that of a decade ago, accounting for more than 30% of the world's total installed capacity of renewable energy. The installed capacity of hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic and biomass power generation and the scale of nuclear power under construction rank first in the world.

New energy infrastructure is booming. The digital and intelligent level of energy infrastructure continues to improve, the construction of smart grids is accelerated, and the distribution automation coverage rate will exceed 90% in 2021. The construction of intelligent coal mines has been accelerated, and more than 800 intelligent mining faces have been built. Diversified and rapid development of new energy storage, the scale of more than 4 million kilowatts.

"On the whole, China 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" period will increase by more than 20% compared with the "13th Five-Year Plan", which will provide a strong impetus for expanding effective investment and promoting the smooth operation of the economy.

The report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed 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 storage and production, 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 manner, strengthen the construction of energy production, supply, storage and marketing system, and ensure energy security.

"This fully reflects the CPC Central Committee's great importance to energy transformation and energy security, and is a spur and incentive for our power workers." As a first-line technical worker in the industry, Ji Jiehong, assistant director and thermal control specialist of Huaneng Shantou Haimen Power Generation Co., LTD., has participated in energy-saving optimization and ultra-low emission transformation projects of power plants. At present, Shantou city in Guangdong province is accelerating the development of offshore wind power industry. "I will earnestly study and grasp the spirit of the Party's 20 National Congress, and continue to work with my colleagues to promote the formation of green and low-carbon production methods and ensure national energy security." Ji Jiehong said.

Rural life is rushing towards modernization

Drinking water safety in rural areas is related to the livelihood and well-being of farmers. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, China has completed a cumulative investment of 466.7 billion yuan in rural water supply projects, solved the problem of drinking water safety for 280 million rural residents, and consolidated and improved the level of water supply security for 340 million rural people. 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 fluoride in drinking water for 9.75 million rural people and the problem of upgrading brackish water for 1.2 million rural people.

At present, China's rural tap water penetration rate reached 84%, an increase of 19 percentage points over 2012. By the end of 2021, there were 8.27 million rural water supply projects in China, serving 900 million people. In many places, significant progress has been made from buckets to pipes and from inferior water to quality water.

Chongqing Wansheng economic Development District Wandong Town five and 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 upgrading projects, new water supply stations, new water plant structures, new disinfection equipment and supporting pipe networks, 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 completely realized water supply to households."

According to the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, by 2035, rural areas will basically have modern living conditions. Zhou Dongqin said that the villagers have more hope and confidence in the development of production, "modernization cannot be separated from the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, we must roll up our sleeves and work hard to make rural life toward modernization, and the more we go, the more ambitious."

The spatial and temporal distribution of water resources in China is extremely uneven, and the special water situation determines that China is one of the countries with the most onerous and difficult water control tasks in the world.

"Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the construction of major water conservancy projects has accelerated as the state has continuously increased its investment in water conservancy and other infrastructure construction." Hunan Yiyang Water Conservancy and hydropower Survey Design and Research Institute Co., LTD., full-time deputy chief engineer crops representative introduced that in recent years, he has continuously strengthened technological innovation, participated in the completion of more than 2,000 water conservancy planning and design projects, and witnessed the continuous improvement of China's water conservancy infrastructure system.

Flood control and drainage capacity has been continuously improved. In the past ten years, China has carried out large-scale projects to improve small and medium-sized rivers and strengthen sick reservoirs. The storage capacity of reservoirs has increased by 105.1 billion cubic meters, and 56,500 kilometers of embankments above grade 5 have been added. The major rivers have basically formed a flood control engineering system with embankments, control hubs and flood storage areas as the backbone.

Water supply and irrigation capacity continued to improve. In the past ten years, China has built 54 inter-basin and inter-regional water transfer projects such as the first phase of the east-middle route of the South-to-North water diversion project and the diversion of Jiang-Huaihe River, built a number of large water supply reservoirs and large irrigation areas, and increased the effective irrigation area of farmland by 100 million mu. The annual water supply capacity of water conservancy projects in China has reached 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, increased functions and long-term benefits, and actively build a water conservancy infrastructure network with smooth circulation, coordinated functions, safety and reliability, and free regulation, 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 20th National Congress of the CPC emphasized accelerating the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy. The new infrastructure is an important part of the modern infrastructure system, and is an important support for implementing the innovation-driven development strategy and promoting high-quality economic and social development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of new infrastructure has achieved initial results.

Information infrastructure was upgraded at a faster pace. In the past decade, the length of built optical fibers has increased by about 2.7 times, and "every county has 5G, and every village has broadband." Ai infrastructure accelerates layout and data center size reaches 5.9 million standard racks.

Integration of infrastructure to accelerate the layout. The construction of three-dimensional intelligent transportation systems has accelerated, and new forms of transportation such as unmanned docks and autonomous driving have emerged. More than 90 percent of airports have realized paperless and convenient travel. The national industrial Internet network, platform, security and identification analysis system has been basically completed; The construction of e-commerce, telemedicine, online education and other facilities for the people's livelihood has accelerated.

Innovation infrastructure is being optimized at a faster pace. A relatively complete system of major science and technology infrastructure has been built, and 32 of the 77 national major science and technology infrastructure facilities under construction have been completed and put into operation. More than 200 national engineering research centers, more than 1,600 state-level enterprise technology centers and a number of national industrial innovation centers have been established in key areas, and the system of technology development facilities has been continuously improved.

Up to now, China's 5G base stations have opened more than 2 million stations, basically achieving continuous coverage of key towns and regions above. As the main force of the national team, China Telecom uses cloud network integration to accelerate digital information infrastructure. "Accelerating the improvement of new infrastructure such as 5G, vigorously strengthening technological innovation, and promoting the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy will provide strong support for building a new development pattern and promoting high-quality development." Ke Ruiwen, secretary of the Party Group and chairman of China Telecom Group, said that China Telecom will strengthen the research of key core technologies, strive to lay out a number of cutting-edge technologies, create a number of benchmarking applications, help open up the information "artery" of economic and social development, and add new momentum for China's economic development and people's livelihood security.
