The peace of the Yellow River is significant to the stability of China. The country has stepped up efforts in conserving water source, controlling water and soil loss, solving pollution, improving industrial structure, as well as preserving and promoting cultural legacies of the Yellow River.

Xi's frequent tours to the Yellow River indicate that more efforts are expected to be made in strengthening ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin.

Ecological protection is an important guarantee that comes before development in China. The protection of the Yellow River reflects the concept reiterated by Xi that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.
