The Chinese government has set the goals and tasks to be accomplished in various fields during the 15th five-year plan, including the construction of a new electric power system, the electricity generation from renewable energy resources and monitoring of ecological environment.

The country’s national development and reform committee and the state energy bureau recently worked out and distributed a new power system building plan.

The contents of the allocated tasks are to accelerate the establishment of a green and low-carbon power supply structure, direct efforts to building a new-type electric power network, strengthen the power supply capability and rapidly improve the productivity in the electric power sector.

The tasks also demand that cooperation between power and related sectors and the development of new energy resources and hydroelectric power be promoted in a scientific way and energy conservation and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions be stepped up.

Earlier, the national development and reform committee and the state energy bureau announced a plan for generating electricity based on renewable energy resources during the new five-year plan.

The national development and reform committee and the ministry of ecological environment, in the recently published 15th five-year plan for monitoring ecological environment, clarified the general requirements, goals, priority tasks and important construction projects for this work.

As detailed tasks to be fulfilled by 2030 in the establishment of the ecological environment monitoring system, different issues were highlighted, including the matter of building up in the main an ecological environment monitoring network in which space, air, ground and sea are integrated and ensuring cooperation and interconnection between the monitoring systems in the capital and the regions and the integration of them, and the matter of mainly building the capacity of monitoring new pollutants, heavy metals, etc.

The plan set it as a long-term target to set up a modern ecological environment monitoring system in the main by 2035 and put the comprehensive ecological environment monitoring capability on an advanced international level.

Dynamic efforts are also being made for accelerating the modernization of agriculture and rural communities.

The central rural affairs meeting held at the end of last year stressed the issues of steadily speeding up the overall development of the countryside and achieving the blended development of towns and rural areas by setting goals for agricultural and rural modernization. To this end, efforts are being made to stabilize the production of grain and oil-bearing crops, breed superior grain varieties, promote the building of irrigation infrastructures and increase the disaster-prevention capability.

Last May the State Council distributed the plan for accelerating the modernization of agriculture and rural communities during the 15th five-year plan. The plan set the goals of sustainably consolidating the food security foundation, steadily improving the quality, efficiency and competitiveness of agriculture, making important progress in turning agriculture into a modern large-scale industry and achieving remarkable successes in the highly qualitative development of agriculture and rural communities by 2030.

The State Council specified detailed tasks for carrying out the plan and important policy-oriented measures including the building and strengthening of burgeoning and future industries in the agricultural field.

The reality in which various sectors are striving to attain their highly-set goals shows that the building of a modern socialist state is vigorously being stepped up in China.
