The Yangtze River, the “mother river” of China, plays an important role in the Chinese nation's development.

Protection of the river and improvement of the ecological environment along it are always on Chinese President Xi Jinping's mind.

He has been to the upper, middle and lower reaches of the river to set the direction for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt to ensure that the clear waters benefit the Chinese people and future generations.
