General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Xi Jinping chaired a key leadership meeting on Monday, focusing on advancing ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin. The session reviewed reports from major state institutions, setting the stage for ambitious 2025 initiatives.
Key Priorities for 2025

Leaders stressed the need to \"pool strength to push forward reforms\" and prioritize actionable goals.
Yellow River Basin: A Green Revival
Dubbed China's \"Mother River,\" the Yellow River's ecological revival took center stage. Plans include enhancing water conservation upstream, controlling soil erosion in central areas, and protecting wetlands downstream. The meeting also highlighted enforcing the Yellow River Protection Law and safeguarding critical infrastructure like dams.
A push for cultural-tourism integration and heritage preservation aims to transform the region into a sustainable hub. As one attendee noted: \"This isn't just about ecology—it's about building a legacy.\"
