PREMIER Wen Jiabao has promised that the central government will provide the bulk of the funding for reconstruction in the quake zone in northwest China, with more favorable policies in taxation, finance and land use and taking into account the real difficulties of the Tibetan region.
Wen made the remarks during his second visit, which ended yesterday, to Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province.
Reconstruction in Yushu should be based on the prefecture's long-term development, and authorities should take protection of the environment, and economic and social advancement, poverty alleviation and livelihood promotion into consideration, he said.
The reconstruction should be carried out with due concern for the prefecture's distinctive ethnic characteristics and geological conditions.
Measures on epidemic prevention, infrastructure rebuilding and public order restoration should be intensified, Wen said.
He called for urgent efforts to ensure smooth traffic in the quake zone and the early full recovery of supplies of water and power.
Rebuilding projects should be finished within three years, with a priority on public facilities such as schools and hospitals, Wen said. He also called for efforts to maintain the unity of all ethnic nationalities in the quake zone.
Wen arrived the quake zone at about 2pm Saturday and went straight to a military field hospital.
Wen reviewed the hospital facilities and the work of medical staff, and visited some of the injured.
After a two-hour drive, Wen visited Longbao Township in Yushu, the epicenter and the worst hit area, for a first-hand insight into the casualties, property losses and resettlement.
Wen also visited a Tibetan Buddhist temple and said the government would help in the rebuilding of monasteries.
Yesterday morning, Wen visited schools and encouraged the students to overcome the difficulties with unyielding minds. He then visited a local water supplier and urged workers to make further efforts to ensure water supplies in the quake zone.
"Yushu, I will be back," Wen said before he left the prefecture.
Wen first visited the quake zone in Yushu on April 15, the second day after the 7.1-magnitude earthquake.
