贵州新路
2015年6月,习近平在贵州视察时提出,守住发展和生态两条底线,走出一条有别于东部、不同于西部其他省份的发展新路。
贵州全力推进绿色发展,在经济总量快速增长的同时,生态环境质量也持续改善。截至2020年末,全省共有自然保护区89个,自然保护区面积850.81千公顷,全省森林覆盖率达到60%。在产业方面,形成了食用菌、蔬菜等12个农业特色优势产业体系,形成了以大旅游、大数据、大健康等为重点的现代服务业体系,形成了以优质烟酒、现代能源、新型建材、生态特色食品、大数据电子信息、健康医药、新能源汽车等十大工业产业为主的贵州特色工业体系。特别是贵州加快发展数字经济,将大数据打造成为一张新名片,吸引了一大批全球互联网行业巨头和领军人才加入。
贵州空气质量多年来位居全国前列。2018年至2020年,全省九个中心城市空气质量平均优良天数比率分别为97.2%、98.0%和99.2%。其中,省会贵阳市的环境空气质量明显改善。21世纪初,贵阳市曾因酸雨严重被联合国列为全球十大污染城市之一,经过多年持续整治,贵阳市成功甩掉“酸雨城市”的帽子,跻身中国城市空气质量前十强,成为空气污染治理的一个奇迹。
绿水青山就是金山银山。既要赶超,又要转型,贵州克服了双重挑战。特别是以大数据为代表的新兴产业和以中国天眼为代表的科技工程,让贵州登上全球竞技的舞台,并为全球绿色发展贡献了贵州经验。
A New Path for Guizhou
During his inspection tour in Guizhou in June 2015, President
Xi Jinping noted the crucial importance of development and ecological conservation as well as the need to tread a new path of development that is different from that of any eastern or other western provinces.
Guizhou has made all-out efforts in the pursuit of green development. Its fast GDP growth has been accompanied by a continued improvement of the environment. As of the end of 2020, the province had 89 nature reserves whose total area stands at 850,810 hectares and its forest coverage reached 60%. Twelve industries with local features and strengths have emerged in the province's agricultural sector, including edible mushrooms and vegetables. It has developed a modern service sector focusing on inclusive tourism, big data, and comprehensive healthcare. A Guizhou-style industrial sector has taken shape, featuring ten major industries such as high-quality tobacco and alcohol, modern energy, new building materials, eco-featured food, big data and electronic information, health and pharmaceuticals, and new energy vehicles. In particular, Guizhou has fostered a fast-growing digital economy and big data has become a new business card for the province, a magnet that has attracted a large number of giants and business leaders in the global Internet industry.
Guizhou's air quality has ranked among the country's best for many years. In 2018, 2019 and 2020, the average proportion of days with good air quality in nine major cities of the province was 97.2%, 98% and 99.2%, respectively. The capital city Guiyang, in particular, has improved its ambient air quality significantly. In the early 21st century, Guiyang was listed by the United Nations as one of the world's top ten polluted cities for its serious acid rain problem. With years of determined efforts, Guiyang has managed to solve the problem and rank itself among the country's top ten cities by air quality, creating a miracle in air pollution control.
Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. Guizhou has risen to the double challenges of catching up with others and transforming itself at the same time. Particularly, emerging industries represented by big data and technology projects represented by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), have enabled Guizhou to compete globally and contribute its experience to global green development.
