Jin Lei, Vice Chairman of China Disasters Prevention Association

Western China is rich in agricultural and mineral resources, which are significantly important for the economic development. However, people should also see that such advantage in natural resources has not been translated into the economic advantage yet. On the other hand, the resources are limited, and resource production cost increases by degrees. In this sense, such resource production in general is not sustainable. Therefore, it is very important to have a new vision of resource development so as to avoid the repeated tendency of "gold fever"...
