BEIJING, CHINA – [Media OutReach Newswire](https://www.media-outreach.com/) – 30
April 2026 – Since June 2021, the central committees of China’s non-Communist political
parties and non-Party personages have been entrusted by the Communist Party of China(
CPC[1] ) Central Committee with a five-year democratic oversight over the environmental
protection of the Yangtze River. Democratic supervision extends from the glaciers
on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau to the East China Sea, covering the whole Yangtze 
basin. It has evolved into a practical tool for Yangtze conservation, helping to
better protect the river while serving the people.

 Agricultural non-point source pollution is a globally challenging problem for Yangtze
ecological protection, as it is mostly hidden from view. During an inspection trip
to Jiangxi’s Poyang Lake region in 2023, Zhao Lixin, a non-party personage and honorary
director of Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development in Agriculture,
Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences , precisely pinpointed the key pain point:
excessive total phosphorus in the water caused by nitrogen and phosphorus runoff
from nearby farmland.

 The inspection team went beyond identifying frontline issues to putting their expertise
into practice on site. In response to local climate conditions and farming patterns,
the team integrated and advanced an optimized set of agricultural management and
treatment technologies. As a result, they successfully reduced surface runoff losses
of nitrogen and phosphorus from rice paddies by 40 percent.

 Over the past five years, the non-Party personages have submitted five democratic
oversight reports and produced nearly 20 special research reports. Many of their
recommendations have been incorporated into special programs of China’s Ministry
of Ecology and Environment.
