2020Q4 & the 34th Meeting of Sichuan Provincial Emergency Response
Headquarters for COVID-19 Outbreak to implement the decisions and arrangements
of the CPC Central Committee, the State Council, the provincial party committee
and the provincial government about promoting epidemic prevention and control
and economic and social development, implement the spirit of the 7th meeting of
the financial and economic committee of the provincial party committee, and

control work in autumn and winter. Yin Li, Deputy Secretary of the CPC Sichuan
Provincial Committee, Governor of the People’s Government of Sichuan Province,
and Head of Sichuan Provincial Emergency Response Headquarters for COVID-19
Outbreak, attended and addressed the meeting.
Yin Li pointed out that since the beginning
of this year, the whole province has conscientiously studied and implemented Xi
Jinping’s socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era,
comprehensively implemented the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central
Committee, seized major strategic opportunities such as the construction of
Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, focused on agricultural contributions,
industry’s pillar role, investment’s leading role and consumption upgrading,
done a solid job to stabilize employment, finance, foreign trade, foreign
investment, domestic investment and expectations (six stabilizes) and guarantee
employment, basic livelihood, market players, food and energy security, the
stability of industrial chains and supply chains, and grassroots operation (six
guarantees), and achieved remarkable results in overall promotion of epidemic
prevention and control work and economic and social development. At the same
time, we should see that the current macro situation is still complex and
severe, and the economic operation of our province is still facing many
difficulties and problems. It is necessary to redouble our efforts to complete
our targets and tasks for the whole year. All departments throughout the
province should strengthen their confidence, face the difficulties, and further
enhance their sense of responsibility and urgency to strengthen the monitoring
and scheduling of economic operation, take targeted measures to carefully
complete key work so as to ensure the annual tasks are fully completed. It is
necessary to improve weak links in key areas, make every effort to expand
project investment, vigorously promote industrial recovery, strive to promote
stable agricultural growth, increase efforts to boost consumer demand, and
vigorously promote the steady improvement of foreign trade to resolutely win the
victory of Q4. It is necessary to resolutely fight against poverty, do a good
job in improving people’s livelihood such as employment of key groups,
strengthen rectification of problems detected by environmental protection
inspectors, pay attention to production safety and forest and grassland fire
prevention and extinguishing in autumn and winter, and effectively prevent and
defuse risks in key areas to ensure social harmony and stability. It is
necessary to follow the outline of construction planning for Chengdu-Chongqing
economic circle, scientifically draw up the 14th Five-Year Plan of our
province, and plan for our economic work next year as soon as possible to
firmly grasp the initiative of development.
Yin Li stressed that the current situation
of epidemic prevention and control is still grim. All departments throughout
the province should always give importance to epidemic prevention and control,
conscientiously implement the deployment requirements of the State Council’s
joint prevention and control mechanism, and carry out prevention and control in
a scientific and rigorous manner. It is necessary to further strengthen the
network of epidemic prevention and control, adhere to prevention for both
people and objects and joint prevention of multiple diseases, strengthen the
construction of a multi-point monitoring and pre-warning system, and strive to
improve the capacity of quick detection and testing. We should further
strengthen the professional forces of prevention and control, prepare for medical
treatment, and strengthen emergency drills. Any abnormality detected should be
rapidly and effectively handled. Meanwhile, hospital infection shall be
strictly controlled to avoid spread of the epidemic in medical institutions. It
is necessary to further clarify the responsibilities of the four parties:
locals, departments, units and individuals to ensure that all prevention and
control measures are implemented, and resolutely protect the life safety and
health of the people.
