On September 19, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences on the theme of "Promoting High-Quality Development", in which Liu Guohong, vice minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and deputy inspector-general of natural resources, talked about how the MNR has studied and implemented Xi Jinping's ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era since the 20th CPC National Congress, integrated development and security, insisted on ecological priority, conservation, green and low-carbon, and focused on promoting high-quality development. Since the 20th CPC National Congress, the Ministry of Natural Resources has studied and implemented Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, coordinated development and security, adhered to the principles of ecological prioritization, conservation and intensification, and green and low-carbon, and made efforts to promote quality development.
First, we are strictly abiding by the bottom line of resource security. We have focused on arable land as the lifeblood of food production, reformed and improved the arable land balance system, promoted the implementation of the arable land protection and food security responsibility system assessment, and established economic incentives and penalties, and since 2021, the total amount of arable land across the country has increased by 17.58 million mu, realizing a net increase for three consecutive years, and curbing the trend of arable land continuing to decrease for many years. In particular, last year, the southern provinces saw a net increase of 7.39 million mu, reversing the situation of arable land "decreasing in the south and increasing in the north". We focus on important energy and mineral resources security, the implementation of a new round of mineral exploration and breakthrough strategic action, deepen the reform of mineral resources management, since 2021, the investment in mineral exploration funds for three consecutive years of growth, and vigorously promote the increase of mineral resources reserves and production. Gansu Hongde discovered a large oil field of over 100 million tons, Ordos discovered China's first 100 billion cubic meters of deep coalbed methane field, Sichuan Yajiang discovered a super-large lithium mine, and Yunnan Zhenxiong discovered Asia's largest phosphorus mine.
Second, we are optimizing the spatial pattern of the national territory. We have deepened the reform of "multi-planning", the overall formation of the land spatial planning system, 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps of the country's master plan, 83% municipal and 84% county-level master plans approved and implemented; the Yangtze River Economic Belt and other land spatial planning approved and implemented, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, the Yellow River Basin and the Chengdu-Chongqing dual-city economic circle are being prepared, Yellow River Basin, and the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle land spatial plans are being prepared. We continue to optimize our planning and land policies, support the construction of the "three major projects" of guaranteed housing, urban village renovation and "flat and urgent dual-use" public infrastructure, and implement redevelopment of low-use land in cities and towns in order to serve new types of towns and cities; and study and apply the "Ten Million Projects" to the construction of new towns and cities. Learning from and applying the experience of the "Ten Million Projects", we have prepared and implemented village planning according to local conditions, and promoted comprehensive land improvement in the whole region to support the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside. We have vigorously promoted the construction of a strong oceanic country, with a national gross marine product of 9.9 trillion yuan in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 6.0%; we have continued to push forward scientific research in the oceans and poles, with the newly built Qinling Station in Antarctica being put into operation, and new breakthroughs made in the "Double-Dragon Polar Reconnaissance", and the polar expeditions of China have gone through a course of 40 years, with remarkable achievements.
Third, we are promoting green and low-carbon development. We have implemented a comprehensive conservation strategy, strengthened the control of the scale and standards of construction land use, and reduced the area of construction land use per unit of GDP by a cumulative total of 45% since 2012; promoted green exploration and development, and achieved full coverage of minimum targets for the mining recovery rate, ore processing recovery rate, and comprehensive utilization rate of the 125 types of minerals involved in all mines; explored the layered and three-dimensional development of sea areas, and strictly controlled new reclamation and reclamation. "We have achieved full coverage of the minimum indicators; explored the layered and three-dimensional development of sea areas, and strictly controlled new reclamation. We have strengthened the protection of natural resource elements, and the use of the sea for major infrastructure and livelihood projects should be guaranteed as much as possible. Since the 20th CPC National Congress, the country has approved 11.53 million mu of agricultural land diversion and land acquisition, and 7.39 million mu of sea use, which involved the construction of 4,238 transportation projects, 281 water conservancy projects and 4,588 energy projects. It has completed the construction of real-life three-dimensional data covering about 3/4 of the country's land and major islands, providing spatial geographic data elements for economic and social development and people's lives. Supporting the construction of large-scale wind power and photovoltaic bases by utilizing deserts, the Gobi and deserts, and guiding the standardization of thePhotovoltaic projectsWe have used the sea to promote the development of new types of energy. We have strengthened ecological protection and restoration, implemented the national forest, grassland and wetland desertification census, completed the delineation of ecological protection red line, laid out and constructed the world's largest national park system, completed the unified rights registration of 256 important ecological spaces such as the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, and coordinated the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, forests, fields, lakes, lakes, grasses, and sands. "The "China Landscape Project" has been selected as one of the first 10 flagship ecological restoration projects of the United Nations.
Fourthly, we are safeguarding the rights and interests of resources and assets. We have explored ways to turn green mountains into silver mountains, carried out pilot projects on mechanisms for realizing the value of ecological products, deepened the reform of the collective forest rights system, and deepened the pilot project for the market entry of rural land for collective management and construction, so as to increase the property income of collective economic organizations and farmers. We have made efforts to improve the level of facilitation of real estate registration, and all cities and counties nationwide have realized "one-window acceptance and parallel processing" for registration, transaction and tax payment, with general registration and mortgage registration completed within five working days. We have strengthened the rule of law by promoting the enactment of laws on national parks, arable land protection and quality enhancement, and spatial planning of land, and by strictly enforcing laws and regulations on natural resources, so as to safeguard the order of the development and utilization of natural resources and the legitimate rights and interests of the public.
