China gears up thrust against graft, pollution

Sees BR initiative as a tool to build ‘community of common destiny’

China has geared up its efforts against corruption and environment pollution since the last congress of Communist Party of China (CPC) and is committed to do more in coming days, the country’s first vice premier Zhang Gaoli said on Thursday. Air pollution in Beijing has come down significantly but in winter the pollution level remains high due to some factors that will also be addressed soon, he said.

Addressing the participants of the ‘Media Forum on Belt Road’ at the Great Hall in Beijing, the influential member of the CPC politburo standing committee also outlined the Chinese solution to ensure development in the countries included in the Belt and Road (BR) network.

He said China has taken tougher policy to root out corruption from every sphere.

Quoting Chinese President Xi Jin Ping, he said China dreams to build a community of common destiny in a bid to ensure everlasting peace and prosperity in the world.

The BR initiative, launched by President Xi in 2003, is a mechanism for China to fulfill that dream to build a community of common destiny.

“We seek common development through mutual cooperation, shared benefits and consultations. China has rolled out the BR initiative where opening up, inclusiveness and mutual benefit are the main spirit,” said Zhang.

The vice premier expect that media would highlight the achievements of the BR initiative by informing people about the development projects taken under this landmark BR programme.

He mentioned that there are 40 million people in China who still remain below the poverty line and that the CPC has envisaged programmes to bring them out of the situation by 2020.

Addressing the meeting, Yang Zhenwu, president of the People’s Daily, said the media forum would play an active role in promoting the BR initiative.

He hoped media would play its due role to enhance people to people exchange among the ‘Silk Road’ countries so that a better future for people can be ensured through this landmark initiative. He said that the media forum on the BR initiative has emerged as the most representative and influential  media event in the world.
