All levels and departments must prioritize capability enhancement, focusing on addressing skill gaps through learning. Execution must be emphasized, honing the drive to get things done to ensure implementation. Effectiveness must be valued, anchoring efforts on first-class goals to promote development. On February 5, 2025, the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government once again designated the provincial "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" action advancement conference as the "First Meeting of the New Year," making arrangements for deepening the "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" campaign.
Over the past year, the entire province has worked with full enthusiasm and a pragmatic style, focusing on implementing key tasks, rectifying persistent work style issues, tackling difficult problems, resolving urgent public concerns, and enhancing the effectiveness of work measures. This has truly made the "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" action a powerful tool for transforming cadres' work styles, improving capabilities, and boosting development efficiency, providing strong work ethic support for the province's high-quality development.
Focusing on Key Points and Tackling Difficulties At the beginning of 2025, the province issued the "Notice on Deepening the 'Three Grasps and Three Promotions' Action," proposing the annual "Ten Major Tasks." These include the "major implementation" of reform deployments, "major advancement" of the "Four Strengths" action, "major optimization" of the business environment, "major development" of rural revitalization, "major resolution" of government debt, "major reduction" of financial risks, "major improvement" of the ecological environment, "major strengthening" of social governance, "major enhancement" of people's livelihoods, and "major improvement" of institutional mechanisms. This provides a clear "roadmap" and "task list" for various sectors to strive for advancement and aim high.
The provincial "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" action special working mechanism office closely monitored the "Ten Major Tasks," guiding member units and leading units to formulate annual work plans and quarterly implementation measures, strengthening guidance along specific lines, focusing on the provincial level to drive systems and promote overall progress. Through on-site supervision and regular reviews, it intensified scheduling and advancement, pushing for positive progress on all tasks.
In the aspect of "major development" in rural revitalization, the province aimed for "prosperous industry, ecologically livable villages, civilized rural culture, effective governance, and affluent living." It worked meticulously from four dimensions: precise poverty prevention, strengthening foundations and beautifying rural culture, boosting industries to stimulate vitality, and promoting win-win cooperation through collaboration. This resulted in achievements including a more solid poverty alleviation foundation, more beautiful rural landscapes, and sweeter lives for the masses. In 2025, the province's primary industry added value reached 177.30 billion yuan, growing by 5.5%, and the per capita disposable income of rural residents reached 15,001 yuan, increasing by 6.3%.
Regarding the "major optimization" of the business environment, efforts focused squarely on addressing shortcomings and persistently working towards goals, striving to solidify the policy system and collaboratively solve reform challenges. This propelled the provincial business environment into a positive trend characterized by "improved indicators, overall advancement, breakthroughs in multiple areas, and optimization across the board." The goal of building a business environment that is "leading in the West and front-ranking nationally" was achieved on schedule. Monitoring showed that 78.6% of primary indicators for the business environment met the dual standard of being "leading in the West and front-ranking nationally"; 80.7% of secondary indicators were front-ranking nationally, and 87.7% were leading in the West, making it the only province in Western China where all urban credit composite indices entered the national top 50.
The landing and construction of the Gansu Shandan Plant-Based New Material Capsule Project is a microcosm of the province's "major optimization" of the business environment. The Gansu Shandan Plant-Based New Material Capsule Project is invested in and constructed by Gansu Plant-Based Innovation Technology Co., Ltd., with a total investment of 1.28 billion yuan and covering 100 mu of land. Upon reaching full capacity, the project will produce 40 billion plant-based hollow capsules annually, achieving an estimated annual output value of about 1.32 billion yuan and directly creating employment for 300 people.
"From signing and project initiation to land acquisition, government departments provided full-process services, which made us feel very warm," said Zhou Chunlong, Chief Management Consultant for the Phase I Project Management of the Gansu Shandan Plant-Based New Material Capsule Project. Since 2025, Shandan County has used the deepening of the "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" action as a lever to optimize the business environment with greater intensity. It established a mechanism combining "chart-based operations + commander responsibility system + project specialists," providing "one-on-one" services for key projects. "Project butlers" are available on call, offering全程 tracking to resolve issues from registration and operation related to land use, approval procedures, utilities, and financing, effectively promoting the quality and efficiency of project construction.
Issues like拖欠 enterprise funds and obstructing public travel were once persistent challenges difficult to resolve in some areas. In response, the provincial "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" office identified 67 key and difficult items. Through methods like direct supervision by "small teams" and regular follow-ups, it pushed for攻坚克难. Currently, 52 items have been resolved. Provincially, 757 important and difficult matters were overseen, with 541 already resolved.
Addressing the historical遗留 issue of unpaid pension insurance subsidies for farmers whose land was acquired for the Pingliang-Tianshui Expressway project, efforts promoted联动发力 between the province, city, and county, bringing 24,500 people entirely into the pension insurance subsidy coverage. Simultaneously, the Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security was urged to work with relevant prefectures to learn from this case and drive rectification, identifying seven expressway projects including Hui-Lao, Jing-Zhuang, and Wu-Jiu that owed pension insurance subsidies for 27,600 people totaling 376 million yuan. These are being resolved through annual supplementary payments, extending from solving one problem to addressing a category of problems.
Regarding the issue of the "Lanzhou City Chengguan District Hebei Traffic Police Brigade occupying land at the bridge entrance of Evergrande Green Valley Phase 1 for nearly 10 years, severely hindering public travel," continuous follow-up supervision pushed the traffic police brigade to quickly vacate and transfer the occupied site. Chengguan District simultaneously implemented the bridge continuation and connection project, "returning the road to the people" in less than a month.
Focusing on Livelihoods to Warm People's Hearts Early in the morning on December 11, 2025, Li Chunmei, who lives in Jing'anmen Community, Linxia Road Street, Chengguan District, Lanzhou City, and her husband prepared a pot of hot porridge for breakfast. Just two months earlier, Li Chunmei's household was still using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) canisters for cooking. Not only was it expensive, but living on the 7th floor without an elevator meant paying workers for搬运 each time a canister needed replacement. "One canister only lasted just over 30 days. Sometimes the gas would run out halfway through cooking, and there were safety hazards." Switching to natural gas as soon as possible was a common wish for Li Chunmei and her neighbors.
On March 31, 2025, the public reported to the provincial "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" office that 136 households in the Lanzhou Theatre residential compound were still using bottled gas, causing inconvenience and significant safety risks, with hopes of switching to natural gas. The provincial office prioritized supervision of this issue, promoting coordinated efforts by the city, district, street, and community levels, and coordinating with the gas company to implement the natural gas入户 project.
After over six months of on-site surveys, designing pipeline routes, coordinating with surrounding businesses, and working overtime on construction, the building where Li Chunmei lives achieved gas ignition on October 25 of that year. By November 11, the renovation work was fully completed, with all 285 households around the Lanzhou Theatre connected and installed, completely告别了 over 30 years of cooking with LPG canisters.
"Natural gas is safe, convenient, clean, and saves money..." Li Chunmei calculated for the reporter: previously, a canister cost over 100 yuan and lasted just over a month. In the more than a month since switching to natural gas, she had only spent over 30 yuan, and she could recharge online anytime, no longer worrying about running out of gas mid-cooking. The change in Li Chunmei's household is a vivid testament to the province's continuous efforts in handling social supervision opinions and resolving the urgent concerns of the masses.
Among all matters, people's livelihoods are paramount. The province treats the handling of social supervision opinions as an important载体 for honing cadres' work styles, serving grassroots communities, optimizing the business environment, and assisting enterprise development, diligently helping to resolve the "worries" of the people and the "difficulties" of enterprises.
Problems reported by the public regarding housing, drinking water, elderly care, migrant worker wages, and other areas are addressed upon receipt and handled promptly. In Liangzhou District, Wuwei City, addressing public reports that a certain residential area could not obtain property ownership certificates, administrative penalties were imposed on the development enterprise for违规 construction行为, while project竣工验收 was同步 carried out, unblocking the certification channel for residents within a month. Concurrently, a摸排 was conducted on difficulties in property "registration," resolving the certification issues for 2,616 homes across 6 residential areas in a bundled manner.
In Baiyin City, regarding an enterprise that improperly collected 3.5456 million yuan for the employer's contribution portion of basic pension insurance from 594 laid-off workers, the involved enterprise was严肃约谈, pushing for full refunds to be completed within a month.
Issues reported by enterprises regarding拖欠 payments, factor保障, policy fund support, etc., are continuously followed up and盯到底. The provincial "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" office, addressing the issue of 52.17 mu of project land for Baojing Company in Maiji District, Tianshui City not being delivered on time, promptly supervised, pushing for land acquisition, clearance, and delivery to be completed in just over two months. The Ning County "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" office in Qingyang City rapidly supervised the issue of the heating project in Hesheng Town owing 2.0809 million yuan for equipment to an enterprise, pushing for the arrears to be settled within three days.
Banners sent by enterprises and the public, such as "'Three Grasps and Three Promotions' relieves people's worries, wholeheartedly helps enterprises overcome difficulties" and "Assisting people in safeguarding rights to recover debts, demonstrating responsibility by resolving worries," fill the walls of the provincial office, reflecting the tangible results of the action and the recognition from enterprises and the public. Data shows that in 2025, departments at all levels across the province promoted the resolution of 994 various problems, cleared拖欠 owed to the public and enterprises amounting to 1.54 billion yuan, and received 119 banners and letters of thanks. The sense of gain for enterprises and the public became more substantial, their sense of happiness more sustainable, and their sense of security better guaranteed.
Strengthening Measures and Work Ethic Promoting Party members and cadres to work diligently and shoulder heavy responsibilities makes strengthening the Party's work style construction particularly crucial. "The provincial 'Three Grasps and Three Promotions' office promoted the resolution of the delayed land delivery issue in Maiji District, Tianshui City; the Provincial Government Supervision Office promoted the resolution of 48.3668 million yuan in拖欠 subsidies for the public under the beef cattle increment and quality improvement project in Ganzhou District, Zhangye City; the Jiayuguan City 'Three Grasps and Three Promotions' office promoted the resolution of the difficulty in insuring new energy taxis..."
Not long ago, the provincial "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" office issued a circular on 8 positive典型案例 of handling social supervision opinions, calling on departments at all levels across the province to consciously benchmark against, learn from, and catch up with the advanced, handling social supervision opinions with greater intensity to continuously amplify the comprehensive effect of the "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" action in benefiting people's livelihoods, warming hearts, and aligning with public sentiment.
Aiming to amplify the comprehensive effect of the action, the provincial office adhered to multiple measures and comprehensive strategies, continuously stimulating motivation, transmitting pressure, and enhancing influence. On one hand, it strengthened guidance and incentives. It selected 13 provincial departments, 14 prefecture-level cities, 20 counties/districts, and 4 central units stationed in Gansu that demonstrated substantial measures, strong efforts, and good results in promoting key tasks, compiling briefings by topic to guide learning at all levels. It selected 13 positive典型案例 of resolving difficulties for the people and enterprises, issuing special circulars for宣传. Province-wide, 843 positive models were selected and publicized,激励 the entire province to tackle problems with a优良作风.
On the other hand, it strengthened inspection and supervision. Focusing on the implementation of key tasks and the handling of social supervision opinions, it dispatched "small teams" using the "four no's and two direct's" approach深入基层、直插一线, transmitting responsibility and pressure to promote work implementation. In late August 2025, it sent 2 "small teams" to conduct明察暗访 in 12 counties/districts across 5 cities including Zhangye, Wuwei, Baiyin, Pingliang, and Qingyang, providing feedback and supervision for each identified issue, urging comprehensive排查整改.
Strengthening work style construction requires both positive incentives to stimulate the enthusiasm of Party members and cadres for干事创业, and严肃处理 issues like inaction, negligence, and misconduct. In this regard, the province, combined with carrying out in-depth study and education on implementing the Central Committee's八项规定精神, identified 17 problems related to formalism and bureaucratism, incorporating them into the "Gansu Province Work Plan for Carrying Out In-Depth Study and Education on Implementing the Central Committee's八项规定精神 and Conducting集中整治," as province-wide集中整治 issues, guiding departments at all levels to carry out rectification accordingly. It selected 13 instances of formalism and bureaucratism problems investigated in recent years, compiling them into the "Gansu Province Typical Cases of Violating the Central Committee's八项规定及其实施细则精神," issued province-wide in the name of the provincial-level study and education work team. It circulated 4反面典型 of inadequate responsibility fulfillment and superficial work styles, publicly exposed 2, and province-wide circulated 235反面典型, leveraging the警示震慑作用 of typical cases.
Simultaneously, it issued the "Notice on Seriously Investigating Cases Violating the Central Committee's八项规定精神," urging disciplinary inspection and supervision organs at all levels to focus on the 7 prominent problems requiring "着力查纠" pointed out at the Fourth Plenary Session of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, investigating and dealing with them swiftly to create震慑. It organized disciplinary inspection and supervision organs at all levels to conduct 2 rounds of明察暗访, aiming to discover clues related to issues like inaction and negligence. Closely monitoring formalism problems that加重基层负担, it increased verification and reporting efforts, promptly transferring problem clues to the provincial-level special working mechanism office, and jointly通报 5 batches involving 18 typical cases. Province-wide, 6,846 cases of formalism and bureaucratism were investigated, involving 10,927 individuals handled, with 4,036 receiving Party discipline or administrative sanctions.
Looking back over the past year, deepening the "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" action has generated广泛而积极的社会影响, promoting the formation of a new风尚 of diligent learning and practical work across the province, laying a solid foundation for striving to write the Gansu chapter of Chinese-style modernization.
A new journey of struggle has already set sail. The entire province will transform the good work style formed during the deepening of the "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" action into the drive and determination to dare to act, dare to break new ground, dare to undertake, and dare to innovate. Anchoring goals and working with responsibility and practicality, it will推动 the continuous opening of new prospects in all undertakings across the province.
