BEIJING, May 22 (Xinhua) -- The Standing Committee of the Political
Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, the
Party's top leadership, held a meeting here on Thursday and called
for the prevention of epidemics and the minimization of losses in
the quake areas.
The Party leadership ordered rescuers to search for trapped people
in every village, to ensure that no one was left behind, and try
hard to cure all injured people, in order to "save as many lives as
possible."
Chinese President and General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee
Hu Jintao presided over the meeting, which heard a report by the
State Council's General Headquarters for the Earthquake Relief.
According to the State Council (cabinet) report, since the
earthquake occurred in Wenchuan County, Sichuan and neighboring
regions, on May 12, the armed forces, the police, medical workers,
journalists, scientists, and people of all circles have been working
together with the affected people and support from different
institutions and sectors at home, overseas Chinese and the
international community.
The cabinet said that major progress had been made in the relief
work, which has laid a solid foundation for the final victory of
earthquake relief.
At the meeting, the Party leadership came to a conclusion that the
current anti-earthquake campaign still faced a serious situation and
the relief job was enormously tough. It ordered shipments of more
food, water, clothing and bedding, as well as tents and makeshift
housing, to the quake areas.
Repair quake-damaged infrastructure facilities and pay special
attention to reservoirs, power stations and quake lakes, it said.
The Party leadership also urged local authorities to maintain social
stability and stabilize people in the affected areas, help local
farmers to harvest and plant crops to restore agricultural
production, and help students to go back to school as soon as
possible.
All localities and central departments must follow the arrangements
of the central authorities, by on one hand working on the earthquake
relief and on the other, maintaining economic and social
development, according to the meeting.
It called for going all out to support the affected areas and
working hard to maintain steady, relatively fast economic
development and social harmony and stability.
