When Brenda Kazule returned to Zambia after completing her master’s degree at the Institute of South-South Cooperation and
上海419品茶微信Development at Peking University in June last year, she had a thick book in her unwieldy luggage.
Kazule, a traditional-affairs officer from Muchinga province, said the book — Xi Jinping: The Governance of China — is import
ant to her because it gave her insights about China’s development as well as the governing of the world’s most popu上海419
lous country by the Communist Party of China, and she wanted to share it with her colleagues.
Since Xi Jinping was elected as general secretary of the CPC Central Committee in November 2012 and p上海419品茶微信
resident of China in March 2013, the country’s diplomacy has opened new prospects and achieved new progress.
上海419The book is a collection of several dozen speeches and essays by Xi on a variety of topics. It interprets the concepts and prin
ciples of the top CPC leadership’s governance and also helps foreign people better understand China’s development
path, its domestic and foreign policies and responses to international concerns about the country.上海419品茶微信

‘s agricultural sector was plagued by inefficient production practices for上海会所品茶微信
many years, while annual output was highly susceptible to changes in climate.
For example, from 1959 to 1961 large parts of the country experienced a severe drought.上海会所
In 1961, the arid conditions reduced the total crop yield by 61 million metric tons, a 30 percent fall from 1958.
Since the early 1980s, the central leadership has attached great significan
上海会所ce to agricultural innovation. In 2015, investment in scientific and technological research reached 55 billion yu
an ($7.8 billion at today’s rates), compared with 720 million yuan in 1978, Du said.
According to the ministry, more than 96 percent of fields dedicated to the cultivation上海会所品茶微信
of major crops, including rice, corn and wheat, are sown with high-yield, resilient species.
上海会所A number of crop-breeding platforms that employ scientifically proven approaches-such as the use of “dwarf-st
erile” wheat, the “super rice” system and hybrid corn breeding-have been established to fast-t
rack improvements in edible crops and ensure the food supply is reliable and safe in the long term.
The wide application of modern farming techniques ha上海会所品茶微信
s also helped farmers to raise yields and reduce damage to the environment.
At present, environmentally friendly methods are used to prevent and control pests on 56.7 mill
ion hectares under cultivation, accounting for 15 percent of the total area affected by such pests.
上海会所Meanwhile, smarter use of pesticides in demonstra
tion areas has reduced the use of chemicals by 20 to 30 percent, the ministry said.
The use of fertilizers has been further contained as a result of a nationwide campaign l上海会所品茶微信
aunched in 2005. It aims to tailor the use of synthesized fertilizers to suit local soil conditions
and improve awareness of the scientific management of fertilizers among farmers.

China has repeatedly accused the US of interfering in Hong Kong affairs and urged it to stop. While the US has denied th
