The Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government are very concerned about the development of the Bazhong revolutionary old district. In August last year, the provincial government specially issued the "Opinions on Accelerating the Development of the Bazhong Revolutionary Old District". It was decided to carry out pilot work for contiguous poverty alleviation and development in two impoverished areas: Shaxi-Washi in Tongjiang County and Bayiba-Qingmu in Bazhou District, supporting the rapid development of the Bazhong revolutionary old district. The project covers 10 towns, 45 villages, 313 communities, 15,939 farming households, and 62,000 people in the two counties (districts) of Tongjiang and Bazhong. The implementation time is 2009.
