BEIJING, June 5 (Xinhua) -- China's top leadership has adopted a
special policy requiring that every earthquake-affected county will
be financially supported by a provincial-level administrative region
in its rebuilding efforts.
The Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC )
Central Committee Political Bureau made this decision at its
Thursday meeting here, which was presided over by CPC Central
Committee General Secretary Hu Jintao.
At the meeting, the Party leadership looked back at the nationwide
relief efforts since the earthquake in Sichuan Province on May 12.
To date, the death toll has reached 69,127.
The meeting declared a major victory in the first stage of fighting
the powerful earthquake, measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale, the
largest since the founding of the People's Republic in 1949.
The Party pledged to mobilize the nation in rehabilitating seriously
affected areas, by bringing the political advantages of the
country's socialistic system into full play.
It ordered the provinces and municipalities involved in the
rebuilding project to support the affected counties in various
forms, including labor, materials, money and intelligence, under the
unitary plan of the central authorities.
Priority should be given to restoring the basics of life for the
affected people, while rebuilding infrastructure, public facilities
and housing as well as professional training, support and services
with the help of scientists and technicians.
While ordering these provincial donors to aid the affected counties,
the Party leadership also asked the recipients to keep in mind the
principle of being self-reliant and hard-working.
Thousands of construction workers have arrived in the affected areas
from across the country to help restore normal life and production
and build temporary shelter for homeless survivors.
