the xinjiang daily reported that on september 15, ma xingrui, secretary of the party committee of the xinjiang uygur autonomous region, arken tuniyazi, chairman of the autonomous region, he zhongyou, deputy secretary of the party committee of the autonomous region and political commissar of the corps, and others came to qiemo county, bayinguoleng mongol autonomous prefecture for investigation.

this innovative survey method is an important move at the autonomous region level.

first, the standard is high. according to the report, in addition to the top leaders of the autonomous region’s party and government and the political commissar of the corps, there are also seven provincial leaders and several responsible comrades from the autonomous region’s bureaus and departments. “xinjiang news” published a commentary article saying that it is the first time in xinjiang’s history that such a high-standard, large-scale, all-round investigation of a county has been conducted.

second, we will use a county as a sample to analyze the sparrow, see the big picture from the small, promote work from the point to the whole, conduct in-depth research to solve the practical problems of the development and stability of qiemo county, and promote the accelerated implementation of key tasks. this is also very different from previous research activities.

third, coordinate economic development and ecological environment protection. during this investigation, while visiting enterprises and investment promotion service centers to inspect economic development, ma xingrui and his delegation also went deep into the heart of the desert to inspect the effectiveness of sand prevention and control.

behind the innovative approach is the need to face new situations and new tasks, pragmatically solve problems and promote key work.

first, why should we focus on counties?

when counties and prefectures are well governed, the world will be at peace.

my country has 1,866 counties and county-level cities, covering nearly 90% of the country's land area, gathering more than 50% of the country's permanent population and nearly 40% of the country's total economic output. these 1,866 county-level administrative units are like 1,866 engines with different horsepower and functions, and are an important source of power to promote the high-quality development of my country's economy.

however, these engines face the dilemma of "lack of power".

gao guoli, director of the national development and reform commission's center for reform and development of cities and towns, recently published an article writing that field investigations found that the economic development of some counties has fallen into the dilemma of "low-level circulation", which is mainly manifested in the lack of economic growth momentum and stamina, the industrial level is mostly at the middle and low end of the value chain, the characteristic industries are small in quantity and weak in quality, and the county-level fiscal operation is difficult.

entering a new stage of development, county economic construction has ushered in a historic development opportunity.

on the one hand, the industrial chain, supply chain, and innovation chain are gradually sinking to the counties, and some leading counties have become important carriers of industrial transfer; on the other hand, counties will become the main battlefield in the second half of urbanization.

the third plenary session of the 20th cpc central committee stressed the need to improve the system and mechanism for integrated urban-rural development. recently, the state council announced the five-year action plan for deeply implementing the people-oriented new urbanization strategy, which proposed that after five years of efforts, the urbanization rate of permanent residents will be increased to nearly 70%; and that integrated urban-rural development will be promoted with counties as the basic unit.

focusing on xinjiang, a frontier province in northwest my country, there is still a lot of room for the development of county economy. recently, the "2024 china county economy high-quality development research" was released. the research shows that in 2023, there will be 59 counties with a gdp of 100 billion yuan in my country, an increase of 5 from the previous year. among them, korla city has entered the list with a gdp of 101.851 billion yuan, making it the only county in xinjiang to be on the list for the first time.

with korla taking the lead, the economic development of xinjiang's counties has been greatly encouraged.

ma xingrui pointed out during the investigation that counties are an important cornerstone for high-quality economic and social development. all localities should always take counties as an important focus for advancing work, conduct systematic research, and take practical actions.

second, why is it qiemo county?

the "first stop" of the innovative research method is qiemo county, and qiemo county became the research sample.

qiemo county is located on the southeastern edge of the taklamakan desert. when mentioning qiemo county, the words that come to mind are "small county town", "remote", and "poor conditions".

judging from external conditions and objective environment, this is a common feature of many counties in xinjiang.

the purpose of this "anatomical analysis"-style investigation is to find some common ideas and methods for a group of counties in xinjiang through the study of one county in qiemo, and to explore a path to promote high-quality development.

after the investigation, ma xingrui, ai erken tuniyazi and others held discussions with relevant comrades from bayingolin mongol autonomous prefecture, qiemo county and the corps, and coordinated on-site to resolve the issues raised by everyone.

ma xingrui demanded that we should focus on key tasks, actively study ideas and methods, and work together to solve development problems.

"all localities and departments, especially the main responsible comrades, should focus on solving problems such as ideological rigidity, institutional constraints, and fear of incompetence." ma xingrui put forward requirements for cadres: "we should continuously improve our ability to conduct on-site research and solve problems, and promote high-quality development to continuously achieve new progress and new results."

third, why go into the heart of the desert?

in qiemo county, ma xingrui and his delegation investigated the local advantageous industry, the red date industry, and visited the qiemo county investment promotion service center to learn in detail about the distribution and development of qiemo's oil, gas and mineral resources.

in addition, the research team also went deep into the heart of the desert to inspect the planning and implementation of the taklimakan desert edge blocking battle.

fighting the blocking battle on the hexi corridor and the edge of the taklimakan desert is a major decision made by the cpc central committee.

in june 2023, general secretary xi jinping visited inner mongolia and presided over a symposium on strengthening comprehensive prevention and control of desertification and promoting the construction of key ecological projects such as the "three norths". he deployed three landmark battles of the "three norths" project - the battle to break through the "j-shaped bend" of the yellow river, the battle to eliminate the two major sandy areas of horqin and hunshandake, and the battle to block the edge of the hexi corridor-taklimakan desert.

among them, the hexi corridor-taklimakan desert edge blocking area is the throat of the ancient "silk road" and the modern "eurasian continental bridge", involving four provinces and regions: inner mongolia, gansu, qinghai, and xinjiang. this area is distributed with six major deserts, including the taklimakan, badain jaran, tengger, and gurbantunggut, and two-thirds of the country's sandstorm outlets. it is the most frequent and most serious sandstorm source area in northern my country, and the main domestic source of sandstorms in the beijing-tianjin-hebei region.

during the investigation, ma xingrui demanded that "xinjiang must shoulder the main responsibility and implement it without fail."

"we need to speed up the implementation of projects and explore effective ways to coordinate the development of sand control and characteristic industries."
