The development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt must adhere to the coordination of the upper, middle and lower reaches, plus

    Strong ecological protection and comprehensive transportation system construction, to create a high-quality development economic belt. Accelerate the development of short-boards in the revolutionary old areas, ethnic areas, border areas, and poverty-stricken areas.
