Build a beautiful China with a thick green background. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has completed a total of 1.68 billion mu of land green area, increased the forest coverage rate from 21.63% to 24.02%, and reached 1.314 billion mu of plantation area, ranking first in the world.
To build a beautiful China, this summer, all regions seize the opportunity to expand, rejuvenate and protect the green. In the Xishui Forest Farm in the hinterland of the Lesser Khingan Mountains, afforestation, restoration of degraded forests, seedling breeding and other work should be carried out quickly.

After the base is completed, it can generate 25.74 billion kilowatt hours of clean power every year; In Lingwu, Ningxia, Lingshao DC supporting 2 million kilowatt composite photovoltaic base is also under construction, and the project will achieve full capacity grid connection in 2024.
Perseverance is the key to success. On the new journey, China's green background has been growing, green well-being has continued to improve, the sky is bluer, the ground is greener, the water is clearer, and more colorful beautiful Chinese magnificent paintings of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are speeding up.
