Highlighting the mission of state-owned central enterprises in poverty alleviation
The State Council SASAC Party Committee
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has issued a great call to the whole Party to resolutely win the fight against poverty, and personally organized and implemented the largest and strongest fight against poverty in human history. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly instructed state-owned enterprises to play an important role in tackling poverty, emphasizing that "state-owned enterprises should undertake more poverty alleviation and development tasks" and "central enterprises undertaking designated poverty alleviation tasks should take assistance as a political responsibility and cannot be vague at all". The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council and the central enterprises resolutely implement the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the major decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, regard helping to fight poverty as a major political task, and devote all their efforts to fighting poverty with the responsibility of being a big country. Over the past eight years, all the 248 key poverty alleviation and development counties designated by state-owned central enterprises have been lifted out of poverty, and all the 12,000 poverty alleviation points arranged by the competent departments of the industry and local party committees and governments have been completed. The accumulated direct investment and introduction of various funds in poverty-stricken areas has exceeded 100 billion yuan, including more than 54 billion yuan of free assistance funds, successfully completing various poverty alleviation tasks and helping the broad masses in poverty-stricken areas to embark on the road of common prosperity.
First, adhere to the professional expertise and strive to change the backward conditions of production and life in poverty-stricken areas.
The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to focus on improving production and living conditions, focusing on strengthening infrastructure such as farmland water conservancy, transportation and communication, and public services such as technical training, education and medical care, especially to solve the "last mile" problem of entering villages and households. State-owned central enterprises make full use of superior resources, give full play to enterprise expertise, accelerate infrastructure construction in poverty-stricken areas, unblock congestion points and fill shortcomings, which greatly speeds up the modernization process in poverty-stricken areas.
Completed the "road to wealth".Poverty-stricken areas, often with complex topography and poor natural conditions, are isolated from the world and become the heaviest "stone" on the poor people. If you want to be rich, first build roads and get through transportation lines is an important basic work to get rid of poverty. Central construction enterprises have built a large number of infrastructure projects such as railways, highways, bridges and tunnels with high quality, which greatly improved the level of transportation infrastructure in poor areas; Central aviation enterprises have continuously improved their route network, and set up an air road connecting poor areas with the outside. At the same time, state-owned central enterprises have also established a poverty alleviation mechanism of "where the project is built and where the poverty alleviation work is followed up". In Nujiang Prefecture, Yunnan Province, where traffic is extremely inconvenient, a large number of central enterprises such as china huadian and China Communications Group invested in building bridges and roads, which solved the long-standing travel problem of local people in one fell swoop.
Sent "Huimin Power".The lack of power grid coverage and unstable power consumption have always been a difficult problem that restricts the economic and social development of poor areas. The electric power enterprises of the Central Power Grid have accelerated the new round of rural power grid transformation and upgrading and village-to-village power and electricity projects, with a cumulative investment of more than one trillion yuan, and completed the goal of poverty alleviation and power grid construction ahead of schedule. Only one well is electrified, which can save 2.75 million tons of fuel every year and reduce the irrigation cost of farmers by 11.6 billion yuan. The State Grid overcame the construction difficulties in the plateau area and carried out the Qinghai-Tibet power interconnection project. Four "power roads", including the Sichuan-Tibet, Qinghai-Tibet, Tibet-China and Ali interconnection projects, crossed mountains and rivers, completely solving the problem of power shortage that has plagued Tibetan areas for many years. China huadian has implemented the comprehensive energy utilization demonstration of "photovoltaic+energy storage+sewage treatment+agriculture and forestry irrigation" and the demonstration projects of changing dry toilets into water toilets, electric heating kang and replacing electricity with firewood in Banyan New Village, Huzhu Tu Autonomous County, Qinghai Province, creating a "new plateau model" for electric power to serve rural revitalization.
Central enterprises put health and poverty alleviation in an important position, and strive to solve outstanding difficulties such as "difficult to see a doctor" and "far away from seeing a doctor" in poverty-stricken areas. Since 2004, China Petrochemical has carried out the "China Petrochemical Guangming" health express public welfare project for 16 consecutive years, which has enabled 46,000 poor cataract patients to see the light again. The picture shows that on May 13th, 2015, the "China Petrochemical Guangming" Health Express launched a public welfare activity in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei Province.

Opened the "happiness network".In the information age, the "digital divide" is an important aspect that causes poverty-stricken areas to fall behind. Central telecom enterprises have vigorously carried out communication poverty alleviation, with a cumulative investment of more than 200 billion yuan, continuously improved the information and communication infrastructure construction in poverty-stricken areas, and carried out telephone projects and universal pilot services for telecommunications in every village. The poor villages have over 98% access to optical fiber and 4G, and launched a "poverty alleviation package" for the poor people in rural areas, effectively bridging the "digital divide" between urban and rural areas. The poor people in the deep mountains and valleys have also boarded the Internet express train, and online goods have become a weapon for poverty alleviation. China Telecom has been fighting for more than 100 days, and people are carrying communication equipment on their backs, which has completely opened up the information road in Atulier Village, Zhaojue County, Sichuan Province, and the communication level of "Cliff Village" has "stepped over the Millennium".
Supported the "medical team."Poverty caused by illness and returning to poverty due to illness are the "hard bones" in tackling poverty. Central enterprises put health and poverty alleviation in an important position, investing 2.2 billion yuan in medical assistance funds in poverty-stricken areas, building (donating) more than 2,600 hospitals and rural health centers, donating a large number of advanced medical equipment to poverty-stricken areas, training a large number of medical staff, and carrying out a series of activities such as sending doctors to the countryside and free clinics, striving to solve outstanding difficulties such as "difficult to see a doctor" and "far away from seeing a doctor". Sinopharm Group gave full play to the advantages of the whole industrial chain of the medical and health industry, donated equipment to 21 medical institutions, helped Zhiduo County in Qinghai Province, which is located in the plateau, to upgrade the level of medical institutions and trained thousands of medical staff from all over the country. China Petrochemical Company has carried out the "China Petrochemical Guangming" health express public welfare project for 16 consecutive years, which has enabled 46,000 poor cataract patients to see the light again. China Three Gorges Group has carried out the "Happy Smile" charity activity for 10 consecutive years, helping more than 600 children with cleft lip and palate from poor families to undergo plastic surgery and rehabilitation treatment.
Second, adhere to give full play to industrial advantages, so that poor areas can connect with Unicom’s vast market.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that developing industry is the fundamental strategy to achieve poverty alleviation, and it is necessary to adjust measures to local conditions and take cultivating industry as the fundamental way to promote poverty alleviation. State-owned central enterprises always insist on closely linking the industrial advantages of enterprises with the resource endowments of poverty-stricken areas, solving the needs of poverty-stricken areas in industrial poverty alleviation, solving the urgent needs of poor people in consumption poverty alleviation, and truly helping poverty alleviation to the point and root.
Pay attention to embodying characteristics in industrial cultivation.Industrial cultivation is the first move for industrial poverty alleviation. State-owned central enterprises fully consider the endowment structure and economic characteristics of natural resources, ecological environment, land, labor and other factors in poverty-stricken areas, seize the "unique share" of poverty-stricken areas, vigorously develop characteristic industries in poverty-stricken areas according to local conditions, and build more than 50,000 industrial poverty alleviation projects, support 12,000 leading rural enterprises and rural cooperatives, introduce more than 2,400 poverty alleviation enterprises, and drive investment of more than 20 billion yuan. In Zhashui County, Shaanxi Province, China Railway Group carried out industrial poverty alleviation around characteristic agricultural products such as auricularia auricula, which helped the local area to establish an industrial chain of "production, packaging and sales". During the inspection, General Secretary Ceng Dian praised "small auricularia auricula, big industry". China Tourism Group and OCT Group deeply explore the tourism resources to help poor counties, help to make tourism plans, train management teams, cultivate tourism routes and build brand scenic spots.
Developing industry is the fundamental strategy to get rid of poverty. Through industrial support, tuanjie village, Zhaojue County, Liangshan Prefecture, assisted by China Huaneng Sichuan Company, took off the hat of a poor village. The picture shows that on March 30, 2020, a poor household in the village was smiling after the harvest of the "Borrowing Sheep to Return Sheep" project.

Pay attention to brand promotion in expanding the market.Brand poverty alleviation is an important starting point for industrial poverty alleviation. Only by inserting the wings of brands can the characteristic products in poor areas fly out of ravines and become golden phoenix. Ordnance Industry Group cooperated with FAO to promote the "Double Heritage" project of Hani Terrace in Honghe County, Yunnan Province, making Hani Terrace a continuous driving force for upgrading the tourism industry and revitalizing the countryside in Honghe County. SINOMACH has turned "Maliu Embroidery" in Chaotian District of Sichuan Province into a local folk culture brand, stepped onto the CCTV stage and entered the United Nations. By developing aviation meals, AVIC, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines promoted the special products of "flying in the blue sky" and "floating in the cabin", which not only enriched the types of meals, but also effectively promoted the sales and brand promotion of poverty alleviation products.
Pay attention to building a platform in consumer assistance.Establishing a stable sales channel is the key to form a closed loop of industrial poverty alleviation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, state-owned central enterprises have actively built a network bridge between "small commodities of thousands of households" and "ever-changing big markets" in poverty-stricken areas, purchased more than 14 billion yuan of agricultural products in poverty-stricken areas, and helped to sell more than 4 billion yuan of agricultural products in poverty-stricken areas. A "happy sales network" has been established to benefit the people in poverty-stricken areas. COFCO introduced 579 poverty alleviation products covering 63 state-level poverty-stricken counties in 27 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) through its "I Buy Net". China Minmetals resolutely carried out the important instructions made by the Supreme Leader General Secretary in Huayuan County, Hunan Province, "Know what to plant, what to raise and where to increase income, and help villagers find a good way to get rid of poverty and get rich", and explored and established a closed-loop industrial poverty alleviation model of "central enterprises’ investment+rural cooperative operation+driving the income of establishing card holders+enterprises buying products" in the local area.
Third, adhere to the simultaneous support of the will and wisdom, and effectively enhance the ability of the poor to become rich through hard work.
The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is important to get rid of poverty and become rich. As long as you have confidence, loess will become gold; It is necessary to strengthen the combination of poverty alleviation with supporting ambition and wisdom, stimulate the enthusiasm and initiative of poor people, encourage and guide them to change their destiny by their own efforts, and make poverty alleviation have sustainable endogenous motivation. State-owned central enterprises attach great importance to enhancing the self-awareness and development concept of the poor people to get rich through hard work, paying attention to teaching the poor people their labor skills and skills to get rich, and pushing the poor people to actually change from "I want to get rid of poverty" to "I want to get rid of poverty" and "I can get rid of poverty".
To strengthen education and change ideas.Only when you have a rich brain can you drum up your pockets, and education is the fundamental policy to block the intergenerational transmission of poverty. State-owned central enterprises have invested a total of 5.4 billion yuan in education assistance funds, aided more than 2,400 schools and subsidized more than 1.1 million poor students. The summer camp activities of the central enterprise "Young Eagle Central Enterprise Bank" and the "Going Out" assistance plan of China Merchants Group in Naqu, Tibet helped Tibetan middle school students and school-age children to walk out of the mountains, enter the city and broaden their horizons. China Telecom fully supports the pilot action of "learning Putonghua before school" in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and invests hundreds of millions of yuan to solve the communication bottleneck in deep poverty areas and expand the network coverage of preschool education sites in remote areas. The National Energy Group has invested 400 million yuan in poverty alleviation through education, implemented 114 projects and built 14,604 "Love Books".
Education is the fundamental policy to block the intergenerational transmission of poverty. In the decisive battle to get rid of poverty, state-owned central enterprises pay attention to the combination of poverty alleviation and support for ambition and wisdom, and strive to "help the poor in education."

Strengthen training to improve the ability to get rich.It is an effective way to stimulate the endogenous motivation to get rid of poverty and become rich by strengthening the skills training of poor families’ labor force and promoting poor families’ labor force to master more practical skills. China Railway has built a precision poverty alleviation skills education and training base in Rucheng County, Hunan Province, connecting the training and employment chain and continuing the "half quilt" friendship between communist party people and ordinary people. Aerospace science and technology pays attention to creating a poverty alleviation model of "science and technology+employment" and vigorously promotes the development of vocational education in poverty-stricken counties. Poly Group established "Poly Spark Class" to carry out "order" and "orientation" skills training for the children of poor households who set up a card.
To help employment and enhance development momentum.One person is employed, and the whole family is lifted out of poverty. Helping people in poverty-stricken areas to find jobs is the most direct and fastest way to get rid of poverty. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council promoted the establishment of a poverty alleviation fund for central enterprises jointly funded by all central enterprises, with a cumulative rolling investment of 34 billion yuan and 132 investment projects, which led to the employment of 550,000 people in poverty-stricken areas and provided income of 4.8 billion yuan for the employed population every year. Central enterprises directly recruited more than 50,000 poor people and helped more than 600,000 poor laborers to find jobs. In view of the special difficulties brought by the COVID-19 epidemic to the poor people going out to work, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council timely organized a special campaign of "fighting the epidemic, stabilizing posts and expanding employment", and held a special job fair for poor migrant workers in designated poverty-stricken counties, providing 147,000 jobs and recruiting 54,000 people.
Fourth, persist in focusing on deep poverty-stricken areas and ensure that no one falls behind on the road to a well-off society.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that deep poverty-stricken areas are the solid foundation for tackling poverty. It is necessary to deeply understand the arduousness, importance and urgency of completing the task of tackling poverty as scheduled in deep poverty-stricken areas, and adopt more concentrated support, more effective measures and more powerful work to solidly promote poverty alleviation in deep poverty-stricken areas. State-owned central enterprises focus on deep poverty-stricken areas such as "three districts and three States", promote poverty alleviation resources to gather in deep poverty-stricken areas, and resolutely fight the battle of deep poverty and annihilation.
Deepen the attack.To conquer the fortress of deep poverty, organizational leadership is the guarantee. The deep poverty-stricken areas represented by "three districts and three states" are the hard ones in tackling poverty, and they are the hard ones in this tough battle. We must concentrate our superior forces and go all out to push forward. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council has held 14 special meetings to help deep-seated poverty-stricken areas, held a symposium on industrial aid from central enterprises to Xinjiang, and helped Qinghai to develop in a sustained and healthy way. It organized activities for central enterprises to help enrich the people and promote Tibet, and the main responsible comrades led a team to Gansu, Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai for investigation and held a poverty alleviation site promotion meeting. Under the strong impetus, the number of poverty-stricken counties designated by central enterprises for poverty alleviation and counterpart support in "three districts and three states" has reached 78, and poverty alleviation resources have been continuously gathered in deep poverty-stricken areas.
Pay close attention to improving the style of tackling difficulties.Whether the task of getting rid of poverty can be completed with high quality depends on people and the style of cadres. The State Council State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) has earnestly carried out the special treatment of work style problems in the field of poverty alleviation, focused on solving the outstanding problems in the field of poverty alleviation, such as weak "four consciousnesses", inadequate implementation of responsibilities, inaccurate work measures, irregular management and use of funds, unsound work style and lax assessment, and guided enterprises to pay more attention to deep poverty-stricken areas, and guided poverty alleviation cadres to dive down and work with the poor. From the loess high slope to the snowy tianlu, from the northwest border to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, there are poverty alleviation teams of state-owned central enterprises in 14 concentrated contiguous poverty-stricken areas across the country.
Comprehensively ensure the effectiveness of tackling the problem.It is the goal of poverty alleviation in deep poverty-stricken areas to let the villagers live a good life without missing a village or leaving a person. China Huaneng, China Datang and China Three Gorges Group fully supported Yunnan Province to win the tough battle of "going straight through the nation" to get rid of poverty, and invested nearly 6 billion yuan to help solve the survival and development dilemma of "going straight through the nation". China Resources Group has built 12 "China Resources Hope Towns" in the old revolutionary base areas and poverty-stricken areas, and created a number of socialist new villages and towns with vibrant agricultural development and distinctive local and ethnic characteristics. China Petrochemical resolutely implemented the fixed-point assistance task for Bulenggou Village in Dongxiang Autonomous County, Gansu Province, attracting happy water, repairing Huimin Road and building a new countryside, effectively changing the local poverty.
Five, adhere to the leadership of the party, fully demonstrate the political nature of the state-owned central enterprises.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that organizational leadership is the guarantee to win the battle against poverty. Adhering to the party’s leadership and giving full play to the advantage that the socialist system can concentrate on doing great things is our greatest political advantage. Party organizations at all levels of state-owned central enterprises take it as their unshirkable political responsibility to help fight poverty, strengthen party building, improve and perfect the strong working system of poverty alleviation organizations, and improve the working mechanism of implementing them at all levels to provide a strong guarantee for the smooth progress of poverty alleviation tasks.
Gather extraordinary efforts to establish a strong and efficient poverty alleviation system.The Party Committee of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council set up a leading group for poverty alleviation and development, and organized central enterprises to sign a letter of responsibility for designated poverty alleviation every year, which was regarded as an important content of business performance evaluation. Party committees (party groups) of central enterprises have all set up leading bodies for poverty alleviation work and improved the organizational system for poverty alleviation work. Since 2017 alone, more than 3,000 poverty alleviation meetings have been held, and more than 2,400 members of the leading bodies have gone to designated poverty alleviation counties for special promotion work. Party organizations at all levels of state-owned central enterprises regard poverty alleviation as the "top leader" project special research, special deployment and special promotion. Leading cadres at all levels resolutely shoulder the political responsibility of poverty alleviation, forming a vivid situation in which state-owned central enterprises are mobilized, cadres and workers are working together, and they are linked up and down.
Implement extraordinary measures to explore a precise and effective path of poverty alleviation and development.To carry out the basic strategy of precise poverty alleviation, the Party Committee of the State Council State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has successively issued 10 poverty alleviation documents, clarifying the basic principles, main tasks, work priorities and specific requirements for poverty alleviation in deep poverty-stricken areas of "three districts and three states". Based on the wishes of local governments, the needs of the masses and the capabilities of enterprises, the Party Committee (Party Group) of central enterprises has made practical moves in precise policy, made real achievements in precise promotion and achieved practical results in precise landing, and truly helped the poor to the point and the root, realizing a virtuous circle of industrial benefits, people’s income, enterprises’ returns and local development.
Do our utmost to forge a poverty alleviation team that dares to fight and win.Taking the front line of poverty alleviation as an important platform for training and training cadres, we selected elite soldiers and strong generals to be directly embedded in poverty-stricken areas, and sent a total of 37,000 poverty alleviation cadres. The poverty alleviation cadres of state-owned central enterprises fought with the local people and forged a deep friendship. In particular, 19 poverty alleviation cadres from 12 central enterprises, including China National Nuclear Corporation, have sacrificed their lives in the front line of poverty alleviation work, and they have written songs of poverty alleviation and youth in the new era with their lives, which are widely praised by cadres and workers of state-owned central enterprises and grassroots people in helping areas. Comrade Qiu Jun, a poverty alleviation cadre of chemical engineering in China, was appointed as the deputy magistrate of Huachi County, Gansu Province, and was exhausted in the poverty alleviation post. He still missed the poor people in the intensive care unit for only three days, wrote three unfinished poverty alleviation jobs with trembling handwriting, and left a message to his wife and two young children, "I miss having dinner with my family, so I will buy it and make it for you", and fulfilled the initial mission of communist party people with the action of serving the public wholeheartedly and sacrificing myself.
Make great efforts to build a number of strong fighting fortresses rooted in the countryside.Taking Party building as an important starting point for poverty alleviation, more than 18,000 Party branches have been jointly established in poverty-stricken areas and more than 270,000 grassroots cadres have been trained, which has effectively enhanced the political function and organizational power of grassroots party organizations in poverty-stricken areas. The poverty alleviation cadres of state-owned central enterprises walked into the village and sat on the kang to convey the voice of the party face to face, and sent the care and warmth of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the CPC Central Committee to the hearts of the poor people, so that the people in the helping areas really felt that communist party was good, socialism was good and the great motherland was good. "In the past, I only knew that central enterprises were big, but now I know that central enterprises listen to the party most" and "Thank the central enterprises for thanking the party". These simple words of ordinary people are the biggest praise for state-owned central enterprises to resolutely achieve "two maintenance" and implement the party’s poverty alleviation policy to the letter.
Entering a new stage of development and marching towards a new journey, state-owned central enterprises must make new achievements. The Party Committee of the State Council State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) and the Party Committee (Party Group) of central enterprises will organically unify the promotion of enterprises’ own reform and development with the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation achievements and the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization, so as to ensure the implementation of the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee with more powerful measures and gather more powerful forces and make greater contributions to building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.
