Jiangxi Radio and Television Station:

As we know, Jiangxi has a vast countryside and a large agricultural population. After winning the fight against poverty, the task of rural revitalization remains difficult. I would like to ask how Jiangxi will consolidate and expand its achievements in poverty alleviation and effectively promote the comprehensive rural revitalization? Thank you.

Ye Jianchun:

Thanks for your question. We have always been very much interested in rural development. Jiangxi was once predominantly rural, and the development of its rural parts, agricultural industry and farming population is worth paying attention to. As a major agricultural province, promoting the comprehensive rural revitalization is not only a major political task but also an important opportunity for Jiangxi's development. We will learn from and apply the experience of the Green Rural Revival Program in Zhejiang province, working to consolidate our achievements in poverty alleviation while promoting rural revitalization. We will comprehensively upgrade rural industries and accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.

First, we will make great efforts to prevent a large-scale return to poverty. We will promptly identify and provide early warnings for households at risk of falling back into poverty and work together to promote employment support, post-relocation assistance, and social assistance. So far, we have been relatively successful in this regard. We will continue implementing the three-year action plan for developing various industries in areas lifted out of poverty as a method of assistance. We aim to strengthen the internal momentum for growth in these regions and empower the people living there. While building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, we have ensured that the poor in Jiangxi's old revolutionary base areas have not been left behind. We will also ensure that no one is left behind on the new journey toward modernization. 

Second, we will vigorously promote the high-quality agricultural industrialization. We will promote the growth of the entire agricultural industrial chain and advance the construction of agricultural modernization demonstration zones, modern agriculture industrial parks, and national pilot zones for green development of agriculture. We will cultivate a number of competitive leading agricultural enterprises engaging in intensive processing, improving the capability of increasing the value of agricultural products. Through these efforts, we can strengthen the internal driving force for the development of agriculture and rural areas, which is of great importance as we often say. And only by doing so can we ensure better development. We should strengthen the coordination, integration, and promotion of Jiangxi's agricultural product brands and accelerate the construction of backbone cold-chain logistics networks across rural Jiangxi. We will strive to push Jiangxi's high-quality agricultural products towards high-end development and present them to other parts of the country and the world. I also hope that our friends in the media and their families can enjoy the environmentally-friendly and high-quality agricultural products from Jiangxi.

Also, we will accelerate efforts to build a beautiful and harmonious countryside desirable for life and work. We will advance the five-year program to improve the rural living environment and expedite the enhancement of infrastructure for transportation, supply of water, power and gas, communication, and more, improving public services across rural areas. We will work towards further modernizing the rural areas as much as possible. Our goal is for people in these areas all enjoy a happy life that features a clean and beautiful environment, a prosperous and comfortable lifestyle, and a community of simple and honest people. Thank you!
