Plateau cookware, super filled green corridor, highland barley germplasm innovation... Whether it is the vigorous rise of clean energy, intensive cultivation of characteristic agriculture and animal husbandry, or the light industry of plateau cookware from scratch, all show the uniqueness of Xizang's high-quality development. In recent years, the Party Committee and Government of the autonomous region have resolutely implemented the Party's strategy for governing Tibet in the new era, taking improving people's livelihoods and consolidating people's hearts as the starting point and foothold of economic and social development, focusing on the "four major events" and "four creations", striving to find a new path of high-quality development of the plateau economy that is both fast and warm. Since the 14th Five Year Plan, Xizang's GDP has increased from 190 billion yuan to 240 billion yuan last year, and its per capita GDP has increased from 52300 yuan to 60000 yuan. The growth rate of per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents has been among the top in China for many years. Featured industries have achieved remarkable results, and the road to prosperity has been steady. In recent years, Xizang has continued to expand its cultural tourism, featured farming and animal husbandry, high-tech digital, Tibetan medicine and other featured industries, while accelerating the cultivation of emerging industries such as plateau light industry, which has injected strong endogenous power into high-quality development. Yak slaughter has been shortened from 8 to 12 years to 3 to 4 years, and yak bone porcelain made from yak bone has sold for up to 2 million yuan per piece. There are more than 70 self-developed barley varieties... Our district actively extends the industrial chain in the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, strives to increase product added value, helps to improve the output value of agriculture and animal husbandry, and promotes the income increase of farmers and herdsmen. Among them, the series of products such as barley wine, biscuits, noodles, meal replacement powder, etc. processed from barley are not only sold outside the region, but also exported to multiple countries and regions such as Nepal and Canada. In the field of digital economy, Xizang has attracted many big data centers by virtue of its unique climate advantages of low sulfur, low humidity, low temperature and low oxygen. "Xizang is extremely rich in clean energy, and the huge clean power can be converted into computing power locally at low cost, and then used to develop artificial intelligence. The cost is very low, and the business is very competitive, which is one of the reasons why Ning Compute Technology has landed in Lhasa." Jiang Ning, chairman of Xizang Ningsuan Technology Group Co., Ltd. said. Data shows that in the past three years, the average growth rate of Xizang's digital economy's added value has remained at 14%, reaching a record high of 25.098 billion yuan in 2023, with a year-on-year growth of 19.3%. The digital economy has become a "new engine" for high-quality development of the plateau economy. At the plateau cookware direct sales store on Yutuo Road in Lhasa, employee Mima Zhuoga receives many customers every day. The people who come into the store are all here to inquire or purchase 'Xuelianhua' brand plateau cookware Mima Zhuoga said. By introducing technology from outside the region to adapt to the reality of the plateau, the autonomous region has independently developed and produced two brands of plateau cooking utensils, "Snow Lotus Flower" and "Gesanghua", which solve the problems of difficult cooking, slow cooking, and boiling water not reaching 100 degrees Celsius. Over the past two years of production, 840000 pieces have been sold, and the plateau light industry led by plateau cooking utensils is becoming an important force for the high-quality development of our region's economy. The Barkhor Street in Lhasa, with a history of over 1300 years, is home to more than 20 ethnic groups including Han, Tibetan, Hui, and Menba, living in over 100 residential courtyards. People live, study, work together, and enjoy themselves together, just like "tea and salt". They are as close as a family and happy together. In May of this year, the large-scale play "North Courtyard of Barkhor Street" was performed on the stage of the National Theatre, depicting the stories of siblings and mutual assistance among people of various ethnic groups living on Barkhor Street. Xu Pujin, an elderly person from Lugu Community, is from Jiangsu. A few years ago, he unfortunately suffered a car accident and became disabled. His and his wife's lives were once in a difficult situation. With the care and help of community residents and staff, their lives gradually improved. Xu Pujin often said, "Although they are not relatives, they are better than relatives." In recent years, Xizang has taken the lead in introducing regulations and plans for the establishment of a model area of national unity and progress. The establishment of national unity and progress has achieved full coverage of autonomous regions, prefectures, counties, townships, and villages, and extensive exchanges and exchanges among all ethnic groups. I enjoy my current state very much and hope to exercise my abilities and realize my self-worth in my work Renqing Qunpei, who works at Changsha Happy Ocean World Park, said. With the help of aid to Tibet, in recent years, more and more graduates like Renqing Qunpei have been employed outside the region. The "Gesanghua" symbolizing the unity of ethnic groups in the snowy plateau has flown over thousands of mountains and rivers with the progress of the times, and has also taken root in various parts of the motherland. At present, Xizang has established more than 30 "group" employment bases outside the region, with more than 3600 college graduates employed outside the region. Going out for employment has become an important carrier to promote exchanges and exchanges among ethnic groups. Livelihood issues warm people's hearts, and the happiness index is steadily increasing to ensure and improve people's livelihoods, which is the value pursuit of high-quality development. Since the peaceful liberation of Xizang, our district has made great efforts to improve the infrastructure conditions such as water, electricity, roads, telecommunications and housing. The lives of people of all ethnic groups have undergone great changes from buckets to pipes, oil lamps to electric lamps, earth roads to oil roads, and yurts to tile roofed houses. In Pumajiangtang Township, Langkazi County, Shannan City, 68 year old Cuom is living a life he never imagined before. Previously, his family lived in a thatched cottage with a small area and no water or electricity. Now, he has moved into a 200 square meter oxygen and heating well-off house with complete supporting facilities such as water, electricity, roads, communication, and internet. As the highest administrative township in the world, Pumajiangtang Township has implemented a centralized heating and oxygen supply project under the strong promotion of the autonomous region. Nowadays, 283 households in the township have achieved heating and oxygen supply, "said Li Yunlong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Pumajiangtang Township. By the end of 2023, the cumulative investment in urban heating projects in the entire district will reach 28.3 billion yuan, with an average annual investment of about 2 billion yuan. At present, the heating projects in the entire district cover a population of about 700000. In addition to the centralized heating and oxygen supply project, the whole line of the Lari high-grade highway was opened to traffic, the problem of seasonal water cut off in high-altitude agricultural and pastoral areas was solved, the reliability of power supply was improved, and the optical fiber broadband and 4G signals were fully covered. The implementation of a series of livelihood projects made the people of all ethnic groups in Xizang completely say goodbye to the history of "difficult drinking water, electricity, roads, and communications", and lead a comfortable and convenient modern life. In 2024, our district will deepen the implementation of the "Ten Major Livelihood Projects", allocate 12.14 billion yuan in funds, implement 21 livelihood projects, and add a livelihood background to high-quality development. Under a series of policy guarantees such as social security, rural housing renovation, and assistance for impoverished students, various regions in our area have been revitalized, and people of all ethnic groups in the plateau are enjoying a high-quality life brought about by high-quality development.
