The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting on August 28 to study and deploy landslide disaster rescue work in Jilong County, Shigatse City, Tibet. General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping presided over the meeting. At the beginning of the meeting, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, State President, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, proposed that everyone stand in silence to mourn the victims of the landslide disaster in Jilong County, Shigatse City, Tibet. The meeting pointed out that due to a landslide disaster on the Nepalese side, there were serious casualties and loss of connectivity at Geelong Port in Jilong County, Shigatse City, Tibet. After the disaster occurred, the Party Central Committee attached great importance to it, and General Secretary Xi Jinping immediately issued important instructions and put forward clear requirements for rescue and emergency response work. Commissioned by General Secretary Xi Jinping, Li Qiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council, rushed to the disaster area to visit and pay tribute to the people affected by the disaster and rescue workers, and to guide rescue and emergency response work on the spot. Zhang Guoqing, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, rushed to the scene to guide the handling. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and under the guidance of the State Council's working group, relevant departments such as the Tibet Autonomous Region, the Ministry of Emergency Management, and professional rescue forces such as fire rescue teams and China Energy acted swiftly. The People's Liberation Army and the armed police force were moved and put in place in a timely manner. The rescue work was carried out in an intense and orderly manner, and mass resettlement and aftercare work was carried out in a comprehensive manner. The conference emphasized that this disaster occurred in the alpine region of the plateau. The valleys are steep and the climate is variable. There are still quite a few glaciers, glaciers, and hidden geological hazards in the surrounding area, so rescue is extremely difficult. All parties concerned should adhere to the supremacy of the people and the supremacy of life, and do a solid job with firm and strong measures, scientific and efficient methods. Search and rescue plans should be scientifically formulated, and every effort should be made to search and rescue missing persons at home and abroad. It is necessary to strengthen multi-departmental joint consultations, strengthen monitoring and early warning, pay close attention to the stability of the weir lake and surrounding mountains, and take effective measures to strictly prevent secondary disasters from occurring. It is necessary to strengthen on-site personnel management to ensure the safety of the entire rescue process. The people affected by the disaster should be properly resettled, and the aftercare work, such as pensions and relief, should be done carefully and meticulously. Emergency aid should be provided to disaster-stricken areas in Nepal, and international rescue cooperation should be carried out. The conference pointed out that it is necessary to comprehensively investigate and map out hidden risks, urgently carry out a survey of glacier and glacial lake resources on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, strengthen dynamic monitoring and early warning, and improve disaster chain risk identification capabilities. It is necessary to improve emergency response mechanisms, strengthen monitoring, early warning and response coordination for hidden upstream and downstream risks, and implement personnel transfer measures such as transfer routes and resettlement sites in risk areas. It is necessary to build and strengthen key rescue forces, appropriately increase the deployment of fire rescue and engineering rescue forces in remote areas such as plateaus, mountainous areas, and borders where there is a high risk of disasters, and enhance emergency response capabilities under conditions of broken circuits, electricity, and networks. It is necessary to strengthen international cooperation in border disaster management and jointly promote raising the level of emergency management and disaster prevention, mitigation and relief. The conference emphasized the need to coordinate development and security, adhere to extreme thinking and bottom-line thinking, strengthen the sense of “always reassuring” political responsibility, and do a solid job in safety and stability.
