ecologically conscious agriculture and developing animal husbandry in farming
areas. Attention must also be paid to accelerating the readjustment of industrial
structure, of upgrading the processing and handicraft industries through high
technology and advanced applicable technologies, and raising the capacity for
technological innovation, as well as supporting the development of enterprises
with market potential. Initiative should be taken in developing new and high technology
industries and high technology industries and speeding up the development of the
tertiary industries including the tourism industry.

Nyang Qu rivers, and on planning and construction of the northern Tibet animal
husbandry comprehensive development zone, and the southeastern Tibet forest, fruit,
tea and herbal medicine comprehensive development zone.
Third, accelerating
infrastructure construction. Building the China-Nepal, Qinghai-Tibet, Sichuan-Tibet
and Xinjian-Tibet highways and trunk roads from Lhasa to various prefectures in
Tibet, giving priority to the construcion of county level and frontier roads.
Commencing railway construction in Tibet as early as possible, opening new airlines
and constructing new airports. Developing hydroelectricity and other energy resources
including terrestrial heat, solar energy and wind power, and concentrating on
the development of optical fiber and satellite communication.
Fourth, strengthening
construction of the ecological environment, particularly environmental protection
and comprehensive harnessing of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the
Yarlung Zangbo River Valley. Carrying out the natural forests protection project
along the three rivers in Qamdo, intensifying the efforts in fighting desertification,
and returning some sloping fields and flood land to forests or pastures.
Fifth,
disseminating the benefits of developing and utilizing natural resources and developing
advantageous industries. Vigorously exploiting plateau biological resources and
speeding up the pace of prospecting and developing important mineral resources.
Sixth, developing small towns around Lhasa, the seats of prefectures and counties,
some communication hubs and important ports, and making them main commodity distribution
and communication centers, and centers for absorbing surplus rural laborers. These
small towns will be the new points of economic growth for Tibet. |
