Huangqihai, located in the Chahar Right Front Banner of Ulanqab City, is an inland closed lake that was once on the verge of drying up due to climate and other influences. After years of comprehensive management, the water area has gradually recovered and expanded. Xi Jinping came to the Huangqihai Nature Reserve and listened to reports on the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region's strengthening of ecological environment protection and local promotion of comprehensive environmental management and ecosystem restoration of the Huangqihai. He also inspected the waterfront tidal flat ecology and habitat birds on the spot. He emphasized that the importance of wetland protection lies in maintaining the original ecology. We must adhere to respecting nature, complying with nature, and protecting nature, fully implement the Wetland Protection Law, strictly abide by ecological protection red lines, strive to improve the quality and stability of ecosystems, and maintain biodiversity. For degraded wetland ecosystems, we must adhere to natural restoration as the mainstay, supplemented by artificial intervention, and restore them scientifically and rationally.
Ulanqab is rich in scenic and natural resources. In recent years, it has taken advantage of its comparative advantages in green power, climate, and location to achieve positive results in the development of the green computing industry. Xi Jinping went to the Chahar High-tech Development Zone and learned about the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region's progress in promoting the construction of hub nodes of the "Eastern Digital and Western Calculation" project and the development of the green computing industry in the exhibition hall. He pointed out that implementing the "Eastern Counting and Western Counting" project and building a national integrated computing power network is an important deployment of the Party Central Committee. It is necessary to strengthen scientific planning, element support, and safety guarantees to ensure that completed projects operate efficiently and follow-up project construction is completed as scheduled. It is necessary to actively extend the industrial chain, promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and continuously transform computing power advantages into development advantages.
Subsequently, Xi Jinping had cordial exchanges with the relevant computing power center project leaders, technical personnel, and staff of Chahar High-tech Zone at the scene. He emphasized that the computing power network is one of the "six networks" planned and constructed by the country, and the computing power industry is in an accelerated development stage with broad prospects. I hope that everyone will conscientiously implement the requirements of efficiency, greenness, and safety, focus on "computing power synergy" and "computing water synergy", do a good job in the construction and operation of the computing power center project, actively promote the development of the green computing power industry, and make more contributions to promoting the construction of Digital China and promoting the development of new quality productivity. Xi Jinping requires the high-tech zone to strengthen party leadership and party building, optimize various public services and factor guarantees, and create a good environment for enterprises and various types of talents to start their own businesses.
Xi Jinping also inspected the display of local characteristic agricultural and animal husbandry products, learned in detail about the main varieties and quality characteristics, and encouraged the local area to strengthen the connection between production and marketing to help farmers and herdsmen increase their income and become rich.
During the inspection, Xi Jinping emphasized that China has a vast territory and obvious differences in resource endowments between east, west, south, and north. On the new journey, all regions must follow the strategic decisions and plans of the Party Central Committee, establish and practice a correct view of political performance, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, keep up with the trend of the times, seize development opportunities, base on their own conditions, give full play to their comparative advantages, and promote high-quality development according to local conditions.

A[United Nations agency: Sustained high temperatures and droughts in Europe and the United States are exacerbating pressure on forests] On August 29, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe issued a press release saying that in Europe and North America, continued severe droughts and record summer high temperatures are exacerbating the pressure on forest ecosystems. Data from the European Drought Observation Website, an agency affiliated with the European Union, shows that 50% of the EU and the UK are currently in drought, and the severe lack of precipitation has significantly affected soil moisture and forest health. Continued drought, high temperature stress, wildfire risk, combined with secondary disasters such as large-scale bark beetle outbreaks and plant diseases, are leading to unprecedented forest dieback in Europe. In Central and Western Europe, some areas are experiencing the longest and most persistent annual rainfall deficit in more than 60 years, causing widespread canopy defoliation and damage.
