The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the roof of the world, the water tower of Asia, the third pole of the earth, an important ecological security barrier, a strategic resource reserve base for our country, and an important protected area for the culture of the Chinese nation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping has made important instructions on the environmental protection and construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau many times. It is the hope of the General Secretary to protect the last pure land in the world, build a beautiful Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and make the lives of people of all ethnic groups on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau happier and healthier.
In recent years, the party committee and government of the Tibet Autonomous Region have effectively implemented the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping on Tibet's ecological protection and promoted the construction of beautiful Tibet. 45% of the region is included in the strictest protection scope.
"Protecting the ecology of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the greatest contribution to the survival and development of the Chinese nation." At the symposium, Xi Jinping once again put forward four points for the protection of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau ecology-

5. Carry forward the "Old Tibet Spirit"
"Special ability to endure hardship, special ability to fight, special ability to endure, special ability to unite, special ability to contribute" is the connotation of "old Tibetan spirit".
In March 2013, when Xi Jinping participated in the deliberations of the Tibetan delegation at the First Session of the Twelfth National People’s Congress, he pointed out that he hoped that cadres and masses of all ethnic groups in Tibet will earnestly implement a series of central policies on Tibet work, seize historical opportunities and vigorously promote " "Old Tibetan spirit", worked hard to be strong, took advantage of the situation, and unswervingly followed the path of development with Chinese and Tibetan characteristics.

6. Attach great importance to Tibet-related work and create a new situation in Tibet assistance work
