Chinese Vice President Zeng
Qinghong urged local officials and people to build socialist
new rural area during his visit to Nanning, capital of South
China's Guangxi
Zhuang Autonomous Region, from Monday to Wednesday.
Zeng came to Guangxi to attend the on-going Second China-ASEAN
Exposition.
Zeng, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political
Bureau of the Communist Party of China (
CPC) Central Committee, visited Shangjiang Village, Xinqiao
Town, Binyang County of Guangxi on Monday, which suffered a serious
flood hit last July. Zeng and Vice Premier Hui
Liangyu had been there and a nearby village to express sympathy
and solicitude for the local people on behalf of the CPC Central
committee and the State Council.
Only one year after the disaster, the Shuangjiang village has
put on a new look with residential houses rebuilt and flood-control
infrastructures constructed.
Zeng said he felt quite happy and relieved to see that the local
villagers could stand up from the disaster and rebuild their
home.
Building socialist new rural area is a major point in the
Eleventh Five-year Program, said Zeng.
The Fifth Session of the 16th CPC
Central Committee which closed last Tuesday adopted the CPC
Central Committee's Proposal on the Eleventh Five-year Program on
National Economy and Social Development.
According to the document, a socialist new rural area means
production growth, well-being life, civilized ethics, clean village
and democratic management.
Those goals are from practices and could give guidance to
practices. It complies with the goal of building a well-off society
in an all-round way in China's rural area and a socialist
harmonious society, said Zeng.
He suggested the Shuangjiang village to design its development
referring to those goals and warned to avoid formalism.
Zeng attended the exhibition for the achievements being made by
the autonomous region from 2000 to 2005.
He praised those achievements and encouraged the ethical
autonomous region to make new progress under the guidance of the
concept of scientific development by grasping the historic
opportunity of developing the western region.
