Deeply Understanding the Scientific Connotation and Practical Requirements of the Party’s Strategy for Governing Tibet in the New Era

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has attached great importance to work in Tibet. General

党的十八大以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央高度重视西藏工作，习近平总书记亲自为西藏工作把舵定向、擘画蓝图，创造性提出并确立以“十个必须”为主要内容的新时代党的治藏方略，推动中国式现代化在世界屋脊不断创造新奇迹。实践充分证明，新时代党的治藏方略是中国共产党领导人民治藏稳藏兴藏成功经验的总结提炼和创新发展，是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想关于西藏工作的集中体现，为做好西藏工作提供了根本遵循，必将有力指引建设团结富裕文明和谐美丽的社会主义现代化新西藏。

1. The Scientific Connotation of the Party's Strategy for Governing Tibet in the New Era

1.新时代党的治藏方略的科学内涵

In August 2020, at the Seventh Central Symposium on Work in Tibet, General Secretary Xi Jinping highly summarized the Party's strategy for governing Tibet in the New Era with the "Ten Musts," profoundly answering a series of directional, overall, and strategic major issues concerning work in Tibet in the New Era, thereby constructing the "four beams and eight pillars" [1]1 "Four beams and eight pillars" (四梁八柱) is a Chinese architectural metaphor for a comprehensive framework or main supporting structure, often used in political discourse to describe the key components of a policy system. of work in Tibet in the New Era.

2020年8月，习近平总书记在中央第七次西藏工作座谈会上用“十个必须”高度概括了新时代党的治藏方略，深刻回答了新时代西藏工作一系列方向性、全局性、战略性重大问题，构筑起新时代西藏工作的“四梁八柱”。

We must uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the system of regional ethnic autonomy. These constitute the fundamental political prerequisite and institutional guarantee for work in Tibet. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the fundamental guarantee for Tibet's development and progress. The system of socialism with Chinese characteristics provides the fundamental institutional support for the long-term peace, order, and high-quality development of Tibet. The successful practice of the system of regional ethnic autonomy in Tibet fully embodies the institutional advantages of the correct path for solving ethnic issues with Chinese characteristics. The three support each other and form an organic unity, ensuring that work in Tibet always advances in the correct political direction.

必须坚持中国共产党领导、中国特色社会主义制度、民族区域自治制度。这是西藏工作的根本政治前提和制度保障。中国共产党领导是中国特色社会主义最本质的特征，是西藏发展进步的根本保证。中国特色社会主义制度为西藏长治久安和高质量发展提供了根本制度支撑。民族区域自治制度在西藏的成功实践，充分体现了中国特色解决民族问题的正确道路的制度优势。三者相互支撑、有机统一，确保西藏工作始终沿着正确政治方向前进。

We must uphold the strategic thinking that to govern the country, one must first govern the border areas, and to govern the border areas, one must first stabilize Tibet. This strategic thinking scientifically elucidates the inherent dialectical relationship among governing the country, governing the border areas, and stabilizing Tibet, profoundly reveals the special and important position of work in Tibet within the overall work of the Party and the state, summarizes historical experience, responds to practical needs, achieves theoretical innovation, and provides strategic guidance for work in Tibet in the New Era.

必须坚持治国必治边、治边先稳藏的战略思想。这一战略思想科学阐释了治国、治边、稳藏的内在辩证关系，深刻揭示了西藏工作在党和国家工作全局中的特殊重要地位，总结了历史经验、回应了实践需求、实现了理论创新，为新时代西藏工作提供了战略指引。

We must take safeguarding national unity and strengthening ethnic unity as the focus and starting point of work in Tibet. This important requirement clarifies the special importance of safeguarding national unity and strengthening ethnic unity within the overall work of the Party and the state. This constitutes the highest interest and fundamental principle of work in Tibet, as well as the common will and fundamental well-being of the people of all ethnic groups in Tibet.

必须把维护祖国统一、加强民族团结作为西藏工作的着眼点和着力点。这一重要要求明确了维护祖国统一、加强民族团结在党和国家工作大局中的特殊重要性。这是西藏工作的最高利益、根本原则所在，也是西藏各族人民的共同意志和根本福祉。

We must uphold the important principles of governing Tibet according to law, enriching the people and revitalizing Tibet, building Tibet for the long term, rallying the people's support, and consolidating the foundation. Governing Tibet according to law is the basic method, enriching the people and revitalizing Tibet is the fundamental goal, building Tibet for the long term is the strategic resolve, rallying the people's support is the value orientation, and consolidating the foundation is the key support. These five principles form an interconnected organic whole, providing a scientific methodology for work in Tibet in the New Era.

必须坚持依法治藏、富民兴藏、长期建藏、凝聚人心、夯实基础的重要原则。依法治藏是基本方式，富民兴藏是根本目的，长期建藏是战略定力，凝聚人心是价值取向，夯实基础是关键支撑。这五大原则是相互联系的有机整体，为新时代西藏工作提供了科学方法论。

We must coordinate both the domestic and international situations. This important requirement places work in Tibet within the strategic overall plan for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the changes unseen in a century in the world for consideration and planning, based on the domestic situation while keeping an eye on the international situation, properly responding to external risks and challenges, firmly grasping the initiative in work related to Tibet, and resolutely safeguarding the core interests of the state and the fundamental interests of the people of all ethnic groups in Tibet.

必须统筹国内国际两个大局。这一重要要求把西藏工作置于中华民族伟大复兴战略全局和世界百年未有之大变局中考量谋划，立足国内、着眼国际，妥善应对外部风险挑战，牢牢掌握涉藏工作主动权，坚决维护国家核心利益和西藏各族人民根本利益。

We must take improving people's livelihoods and rallying the people's support as the starting point and ultimate goal of economic and social development. This important requirement reveals the inherent unified relationship between developing the economy and rallying the people's support in border ethnic regions, demonstrating our Party's scientific grasp of the dialectical relationship between history and the people, development and stability, and people's livelihoods and people's hearts.

必须把改善民生、凝聚人心作为经济社会发展的出发点和落脚点。这一重要要求揭示了边疆民族地区发展经济与凝聚人心的内在统一关系，彰显了我们党对历史与人民、发展与稳定、民生与人心辩证关系的科学把握。

We must promote interaction, communication, and integration among all ethnic groups. Interaction, communication, and integration are the inevitable path to enhancing ethnic unity, forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, and promoting the building of the Chinese national community. Only by enhancing understanding through interaction, eliminating prejudice through communication, and achieving win-win outcomes through integration can we promote the long-term peace, order, and high-quality development of Tibet and advance the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

必须促进各民族交往交流交融。交往交流交融是增进民族团结、铸牢中华民族共同体意识、推动中华民族共同体建设的必由之路。只有在交往中增进理解、在交流中消除偏见、在交融中实现共赢，才能促进西藏长治久安和高质量发展，推动实现中华民族伟大复兴。

We must adhere to the direction of sinicizing religions in China and manage religious affairs according to law. Adhering to the direction of sinicizing religions is the inevitable path for actively guiding Tibetan Buddhism to adapt to socialist society; managing religious affairs according to law is an inevitable requirement for comprehensively advancing law-based governance in Tibet. This important requirement, based on the actual religious situation in Tibet, supports religious circles in interpreting religious doctrines and canons in a manner that meets the requirements of the times, curbs negative factors in religion, and continuously raises the level of rule-of-law governance in religious affairs.

必须坚持我国宗教中国化方向、依法管理宗教事务。坚持宗教中国化方向，是积极引导藏传佛教与社会主义社会相适应的必由之路；依法管理宗教事务，是全面推进依法治藏的必然要求。这一重要要求，立足西藏宗教实际，支持宗教界对教规教义作出符合时代进步要求的阐释，抑制宗教消极因素，不断提升宗教事务治理法治化水平。

We must prioritize ecological protection. This important requirement takes the construction of an ecological civilization as the basic prerequisite and rigid constraint for Tibet's economic and social development, firmly establishes the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and, with an attitude of being responsible to history, to the people, and to the world, protects every mountain, river, tree, and blade of grass on the plateau, striving to build the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into a national and even international ecological civilization highland.

必须坚持生态保护第一。这一重要要求，把生态文明建设作为西藏经济社会发展的基本前提和刚性约束，牢固树立绿水青山就是金山银山的理念，以对历史负责、对人民负责、对世界负责的态度，守护好高原的山山水水、一草一木，把青藏高原打造成为全国乃至国际生态文明高地。

We must strengthen Party building, especially political construction. This important requirement answers the major question of "what to rely on to guarantee" work in Tibet in the New Era. Strengthening Party building, especially political construction, helps ensure the entire Party's unified will and unified action, transforms the Party's political and organizational advantages into powerful effectiveness for promoting long-term peace, order, and high-quality development, and provides a strong guarantee for the Party's strategy for governing Tibet in the New Era to take root and bear fruit.

必须加强党的建设特别是政治建设。这一重要要求，回答了新时代西藏工作“靠什么来保证”的重大问题。加强党的建设特别是政治建设，有助于确保全党统一意志、统一行动，把党的政治优势、组织优势转化为推进长治久安和高质量发展的强大效能，为新时代党的治藏方略落地生根提供坚强保证。

2. The Practical Power of the Party's Strategy for Governing Tibet in the New Era

2.新时代党的治藏方略的实践伟力

The Party's strategy for governing Tibet in the New Era is a powerful ideological weapon for guiding practice and advancing work. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the selfless support of the people nationwide, and the united struggle of the entire region, Tibet in the New Era has entered the best historical period in terms of development, the greatest changes, and the most tangible benefits for the masses, and the construction of a modern socialist new Tibet is showing vigorous vitality.

新时代党的治藏方略是指导实践、推动工作的强大思想武器。在党中央坚强领导、全国人民无私支援、全区上下团结奋斗下，新时代西藏步入发展最好、变化最大、群众得实惠最多的历史时期，社会主义现代化新西藏建设展现勃勃生机。

A united, stable political and social situation has emerged. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, "To govern, stabilize, and revitalize Tibet, the first priority is to maintain political stability, social stability, ethnic unity, and religious harmony in Tibet." The regional Party committee has always taken maintaining stability as the primary political task, deeply carried out the struggle against separatism, continuously enhanced the effectiveness of social governance, and the sense of security and satisfaction index of people of all ethnic groups has remained above 99% for many consecutive years. Adhering to forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation as the main line, comprehensively implementing the Party's ethnic and religious policies, and deeply implementing the "Five Identities" [2]2 "Five Identities" (五个认同) refers to identification with the great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China, and socialism with Chinese characteristics. enhancement project and the project to promote interaction, communication, and integration among all ethnic groups, the creation of ethnic unity and progress covers all counties, townships, and villages. The promotion and popularization of the national common language and script has achieved remarkable results. Actively promoting two-way exchanges in economy, culture, and personnel between Tibet and relevant provinces. Managing religious affairs according to law, deeply carrying out education on "national consciousness, civic consciousness, and rule-of-law consciousness," guiding Tibetan Buddhism to adapt to socialist society.

呈现团结稳定的政治和社会局面。习近平总书记强调，“治藏稳藏兴藏，首先是要保持西藏的政治安定、社会稳定、民族团结、宗教和顺”。自治区党委始终把维护稳定作为第一位的政治任务，深入开展反分裂斗争，社会治理效能持续增强，各族群众安全感满意度指数连续多年保持在99%以上。坚持以铸牢中华民族共同体意识为主线，全面贯彻党的民族宗教政策，深入实施“五个认同”增进工程、各民族交往交流交融促进工程，民族团结进步创建覆盖所有县、乡、村。国家通用语言文字推广普及成效显著。积极推动西藏与相关省份经济、文化、人员双向交流。依法管理宗教事务，深入开展“国家意识、公民意识、法治意识”教育，引导藏传佛教与社会主义社会相适应。

A path of high-quality development suited to Tibet's actual conditions has been forged. Development is the key to solving all problems in Tibet, and high-quality development is the hard truth of the New Era. The regional Party committee has fully, accurately, and comprehensively implemented the new development philosophy, adhering to the general requirement of "three endowments and one benefit" [3]3 "Three endowments and one benefit" (三个赋予、一个有利于) is a policy requirement for Tibet meaning that development should endow the people with a greater sense of gain, happiness, and security, and be beneficial to maintaining stability and consolidating border defense. throughout the entire process of economic and social development. In 2025, the region's total GDP reached 303.189 billion yuan, the per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents increased by 6.0% and 7.4% respectively, and the growth rate of major economic indicators has ranked among the top in the country for several consecutive years; nine major industries, including clean energy, cultural tourism, and green industry, are flourishing; infrastructure construction has achieved a historic leap, with the main power grid covering all counties (cities, districts), and the fiber optic and 4G network access rate in administrative villages reaching 100%; people's well-being has greatly improved, with the deep implementation of the "Ten Major Livelihood Projects," and the employment rate of fresh college graduates exceeding 95%; taking the lead in the country in implementing 15 years of publicly funded education, with major education indicators reaching or exceeding the national average; the basic medical insurance for all employees and urban and rural residents in the region has achieved provincial-level pooling, and tertiary hospitals (Grade 3A) have achieved full coverage across all seven prefectures (cities); and so on.

走出一条符合西藏实际的高质量发展之路。发展是解决西藏所有问题的关键，高质量发展是新时代的硬道理。自治区党委完整准确全面贯彻新发展理念，坚持把“三个赋予、一个有利于”总要求贯穿经济社会发展始终。2025年全区实现生产总值3031.89亿元，城乡居民人均可支配收入分别增长6.0%和7.4%，主要经济指标增速连续几年位居全国前列；清洁能源、文化旅游、绿色工业等九大产业蓬勃发展；基础设施建设实现历史性跨越，主电网覆盖所有县（市、区），行政村光纤和4G网络通达率100%；民生福祉大幅改善，深入实施“十大民生工程”，应届高校毕业生就业率超过95%；在全国率先实行15年公费教育，主要教育指标达到或超过全国平均水平；全区职工和城乡居民基本医疗保险实现省级统筹，三甲医院实现七地（市）全覆盖；等等。

Build a solid and firm ecological security barrier. Tibet is an important national ecological security barrier; its greatest value lies in ecology, its greatest responsibility lies in ecology, and its greatest potential also lies in ecology. The Autonomous Region Party Committee has deeply implemented Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, coordinately advancing carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, and striving to build a national ecological civilization highland. It has promulgated and implemented laws and regulations such as the “Regulations of the Tibet Autonomous Region on the Construction of a National Ecological Civilization Highland,” with the area of ecological protection red lines accounting for more than 50% of the region’s total land area. The quality of the ecological environment has continued to remain excellent; the proportion of days with good air quality in the entire region has remained above 99%, and the proportion of major rivers and lakes meeting or exceeding Class III water quality standards is 100%. Scientific efforts have been made to carry out land greening actions, solidly advancing the greening project of the northern and southern mountains, with a cumulative total of over 1.1 million mu [4]4 mu: A Chinese unit of area, approximately 1/15 of a hectare or 0.0667 hectares. of afforestation completed, driving an increase in people’s income of over 3.1 billion yuan, raising the forest coverage rate to 12.54%, and the comprehensive vegetation coverage of grasslands to 50%. Adhering to ecological benefits for the people, the national comprehensive ecological compensation mechanism has been implemented, providing an average of over 400,000 ecological posts annually, achieving a positive interaction between ecological protection and enriching the people and increasing income.

构筑坚实牢固的生态安全屏障。西藏是重要的国家生态安全屏障，最大的价值在生态，最大的责任在生态，最大的潜力也在生态。自治区党委深入贯彻落实习近平生态文明思想，协同推进降碳、减污、扩绿、增长，着力打造国家生态文明高地。颁布实施《西藏自治区国家生态文明高地建设条例》等法律法规，生态保护红线面积占全区国土面积的50%以上。生态环境质量持续保持优良，全区空气质量优良天数比例保持在99%以上，主要江河湖泊水质达到或优于Ⅲ类水体比例100%。科学开展国土绿化行动，扎实推进南北山绿化工程，累计完成营造林超过110万亩，带动群众增收31亿余元，森林覆盖率提高至12.54%，草原综合植被盖度达50%。坚持生态惠民，落实国家生态综合补偿机制，年均提供生态岗位40万余个，实现生态保护与富民增收良性互动。

Form a new pattern of prospering the border and enriching the people. Strengthening border defense and consolidating national security is a matter of “great importance to the country” [5]5 “great importance to the country” (国之大者): A phrase used by Xi Jinping to refer to matters of fundamental and strategic importance to the nation’s overall interests., and prospering the border and enriching the people is the aspiration of the people. The Autonomous Region Party Committee insists on simultaneously stationing troops and stabilizing the people, and equally emphasizing consolidating the border and prospering the border. It has promulgated the “Regulations of the Tibet Autonomous Region on the Creation of a National Demonstration Zone for Consolidating the Border, Prospering the Border, and Enriching the People,” striving to create a national demonstration zone for consolidating the border, prospering the border, and enriching the people. All 624 border well-off villages have been completed; all border townships and administrative villages have road access; the main power grid and 5G networks cover all border townships; all border county towns have achieved normalized water supply; and border new villages have achieved full coverage of preschool and compulsory education. Border industries have been actively developed, with border small-volume trade and border trade between residents flourishing. In 2025, the total import and export value of goods trade reached 8.479 billion yuan, and border resident subsidy standards have been steadily raised. The “five co-operations and five consolidations” [6]6 “five co-operations and five consolidations” (五共五固): A specific paired co-construction initiative between military and local Party organizations in Tibet, focusing on shared Party building, stability, development, border defense, and poverty alleviation. paired co-construction between military and local grassroots Party organizations has been deeply advanced, the awareness of patriotism and border defense among people of all ethnic groups has taken root in their hearts, and “guardians of the sacred territory, builders of a happy homeland” has become the conscious pursuit of people of all ethnic groups.

形成兴边富民的崭新格局。强边固防是“国之大者”，兴边富民是民心所向。自治区党委坚持屯兵和安民并举、固边和兴边并重，颁布《西藏自治区国家固边兴边富民行动示范区创建条例》，着力创建国家固边兴边富民行动示范区。624个边境小康村全部建成，所有边境乡镇和建制村通公路，主电网、5G网络覆盖全部边境乡镇，所有边境县城实现常态化供水，边境新村实现学前和义务教育全覆盖。积极发展边境产业，边境小额贸易和边民互市贸易蓬勃发展，2025年货物贸易进出口总值84.79亿元，边民补助标准稳步提高。军地基层党组织“五共五固”结对共建深入推进，各族群众爱国守边意识深入人心，“神圣国土守护者、幸福家园建设者”成为各族群众的自觉追求。

3. Practical Requirements for Comprehensively Implementing the Party’s Strategy for Governing Tibet in the New Era

3.全面贯彻新时代党的治藏方略的实践要求

On August 20, 2025, when listening to the work report of the Tibet Autonomous Region Party Committee and Government, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “Tibet must comprehensively implement the Party’s strategy for governing Tibet in the New Era, adhere to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, solidly promote high-quality development, and continuously and deeply grasp the four major tasks of stability, development, ecology, and strengthening the border, striving to build a modern socialist new Tibet that is united, prosperous, civilized, harmonious, and beautiful.” This important instruction provides the fundamental guidance for advancing Tibet’s long-term stability and high-quality development on the new journey.

2025年8月20日，习近平总书记在听取西藏自治区党委和政府工作汇报时强调：“西藏要全面贯彻新时代党的治藏方略，坚持稳中求进工作总基调，完整准确全面贯彻新发展理念，扎实推动高质量发展，持续深入抓好稳定、发展、生态、强边四件大事，努力建设团结富裕文明和谐美丽的社会主义现代化新西藏。”这一重要指示，为新征程上推进西藏长治久安和高质量发展提供了根本遵循。

Adhere to the Party’s overall leadership and continuously consolidate the Party’s ruling foundation in Tibet. Party leadership is the anchor for doing Tibet work well, and strengthening Party building is the fundamental guarantee for doing Tibet work well. On the new journey, we must unswervingly use Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to forge souls and guide actions, educating and guiding the vast number of Party cadres and members to deeply understand the decisive significance of the Two Establishments, enhance the Four Consciousnesses, strengthen the Four Confidences, and achieve the Two Upholds. Party leadership must be implemented in all aspects and the entire process of governing, stabilizing, and prospering Tibet; adhere to and improve the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the system of regional ethnic autonomy, ensuring the implementation of Party leadership from the institutional level. Continuously strengthen the Party’s political construction, strictly enforce political discipline and political rules, deeply implement the general requirements for Party building in the New Era and the Party’s organizational line for the New Era, build Party organizations at all levels to be stronger and more powerful, and ensure that leadership power is firmly held in the hands of the Party.

坚持党的全面领导，不断夯实党在西藏的执政根基。党的领导是做好西藏工作的定海神针，加强党的建设是做好西藏工作的根本保证。新征程上，要坚持不懈用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想凝心铸魂，教育引导广大党员干部深刻领悟“两个确立”的决定性意义，增强“四个意识”、坚定“四个自信”、做到“两个维护”。把党的领导落实到治藏稳藏兴藏各方面全过程，坚持和完善中国特色社会主义制度、民族区域自治制度，从制度上保障党的领导落地落实。持续加强党的政治建设，严明政治纪律和政治规矩，深入贯彻新时代党的建设总要求和新时代党的组织路线，把各级党组织建设得更加坚强有力，确保领导权牢牢掌握在党的手里。

Take forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation as the main line, and strive to create a national model zone for ethnic unity and progress. Ethnic unity is the lifeline of people of all ethnic groups, and maintaining stability is the ballast stone of Tibet work. On the new journey, forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation must run through all aspects and the entire process of Tibet work; strengthen the propaganda and education of the history of the Party, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, the history of socialist development, and the history of the Chinese nation’s development; tell the story of Tibet in the New Era well; and guide cadres and people of all ethnic groups to continuously enhance their identification with the great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China, and socialism with Chinese characteristics. Promote extensive exchanges, comprehensive interactions, and deep integration among all ethnic groups; comprehensively popularize and promote the use of the national common language and script; build an inter-embedded social structure and community environment; create social conditions for people of all ethnic groups to live together, learn together, build together, share together, work together, and enjoy together; deeply create a national model zone for ethnic unity and progress; guide people of all ethnic groups to hold together tightly like pomegranate seeds; and jointly build the common spiritual home of the Chinese nation.

以铸牢中华民族共同体意识为主线，着力创建全国民族团结进步模范区。民族团结是各族人民的生命线，维护稳定是西藏工作的压舱石。新征程上，必须把铸牢中华民族共同体意识贯穿西藏工作全过程各方面，加强党史、新中国史、改革开放史、社会主义发展史、中华民族发展史宣传教育，讲好新时代西藏故事，引导各族干部群众不断增进对伟大祖国、中华民族、中华文化、中国共产党、中国特色社会主义的认同。促进各民族广泛交往、全面交流、深度交融，全面推广普及国家通用语言文字，构建互嵌式社会结构和社区环境，创造各族群众共居共学、共建共享、共事共乐的社会条件，深入创建全国民族团结进步模范区，引导各族群众像石榴籽一样紧紧抱在一起，共同构筑中华民族共有精神家园。

Take the “three endowments and one benefit” [7]7 “three endowments and one benefit” (三个赋予、一个有利于): A guiding principle for Tibet’s development, meaning that development should endow the people with a better life, endow the region with greater stability, endow the nation with stronger security, and be conducive to forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation. as the guide, and strive to create a pilot zone for high-quality development of the plateau economy. The “three endowments and one benefit” are the fundamental guidance for Tibet’s high-quality development and also the general requirement that must run through the entire process of promoting Tibet’s economic and social development. On the new journey, we must fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept; take improving people’s livelihoods and consolidating people’s hearts as the starting point and ultimate goal of economic and social development; and let the fruits of reform and development benefit people of all ethnic groups more and more fairly. Based on resource endowments, develop characteristic advantageous industries such as clean energy, cultural tourism, and plateau agriculture and animal husbandry according to local conditions; actively cultivate new quality productive forces; and transform resource advantages into economic and industrial advantages. Coordinate the construction of major projects with the cultivation of characteristic industries; continuously optimize the industrial structure; promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development; and continuously open up new prospects for high-quality development of the plateau economy.

以“三个赋予、一个有利于”为引领，奋力创建高原经济高质量发展先行区。“三个赋予、一个有利于”是西藏高质量发展的根本遵循，也是推动西藏经济社会发展必须贯穿始终的总要求。新征程上，必须完整准确全面贯彻新发展理念，把改善民生、凝聚人心作为经济社会发展的出发点和落脚点，让改革发展成果更多更公平惠及各族人民。立足资源禀赋，因地制宜发展清洁能源、文化旅游、高原农牧业等特色优势产业，积极培育新质生产力，把资源优势转化为经济优势、产业优势。统筹抓好重大项目建设与特色产业培育，持续优化产业结构，推动经济社会发展全面绿色转型，不断开创高原经济高质量发展新局面。

Consolidate the national ecological security barrier and concentrate efforts on building a national ecological civilization highland. Take ecological civilization construction as the basic prerequisite and rigid constraint for Tibet’s economic and social development; firmly establish the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets; and strictly implement the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Ecological Protection Law. Coordinately advance carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth; solidly promote land greening actions; vigorously develop the clean energy industry; and consolidate the foundation for green development. Adhere to ecological benefits for the people, ecological benefits enriching the people, and ecological benefits serving the people; implement the national comprehensive ecological compensation mechanism; achieve a positive interaction between ecological protection and enriching the people and increasing income; and let people of all ethnic groups reap a happy life while protecting lucid waters and lush mountains.

筑牢国家生态安全屏障，聚力打造国家生态文明高地。把生态文明建设作为西藏经济社会发展的基本前提和刚性约束，牢固树立绿水青山就是金山银山的理念，严格执行青藏高原生态保护法。协同推进降碳、减污、扩绿、增长，扎实推进国土绿化行动，大力发展清洁能源产业，筑牢绿色发展根基。坚持生态惠民、生态利民、生态为民，落实国家生态综合补偿机制，实现生态保护与富民增收良性互动，让各族群众在守护绿水青山中收获幸福生活。

Adhere to simultaneously stationing troops and stabilizing the people, and solidly create a national demonstration zone for consolidating the border, prospering the border, and enriching the people. Border areas are the first line of defense for the national security barrier and the forward position for defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity. On the new journey, infrastructure construction in border areas should be accelerated; the public service system should be improved; policies for border trade and industrial development should be optimized; and the income level of border people should be steadily raised and their quality of life continuously improved. Improve the border resident subsidy mechanism; deepen the “five co-operations and five consolidations” paired co-construction between military and local grassroots Party organizations; and strengthen the pattern of joint efforts by the Party, government, military, police, and people to strengthen border defense and consolidate national security. Patriotic border defense education should be carried out in depth; guide people of all ethnic groups to enhance their national consciousness and national defense consciousness; and make border areas an important window for demonstrating the superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics.

坚持屯兵和安民并举，扎实创建国家固边兴边富民行动示范区。边境地区是国家安全屏障的第一道防线，是捍卫国家主权和领土完整的前沿阵地。新征程上，应加快边境地区基础设施建设，完善公共服务体系，优化边境贸易和产业发展政策，让边境群众收入水平稳步提高、生活质量持续改善。完善边民补助机制，深化军地基层党组织“五共五固”结对共建，强化党政军警民合力强边固防格局。要深入开展爱国守边教育，引导各族群众增强国家意识、国防意识，让边境地区成为展示中国特色社会主义制度优越性的重要窗口。
