BEIJING, Oct 28(ABC): Chinese lawmakers are reviewing a report that assesses the implementation of a law to promote rural vitalization.
Submitted Friday to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress for deliberation, the report says that the law has been fully carried out by the central and local governments since it came into force in June 2021.
The implementation of the law has helped nurture rural industries, promote rural affluence, and better conserve the rural ecological environment, according to the report.
To date, 15 provincial-level regions nationwide have created local rules in coordination with the law.
Regarding the challenges to rural vitalization, the report calls for efforts to guarantee adequate food supply, increase farmers’ incomes, and promote green agriculture.
In 2017, China proposed a rural vitalization strategy to accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. It has since adopted a host of policies to chart the roadmap for rural vitalization.
This year, “promoting comprehensive rural vitalization” was incorporated into the country’s government work report and the “No. 1 Central Document” as a primary task.
