中共中央總書記、國家主席、中央軍委主席習近平近日對制止餐飲浪費行為作出重要指示。

Calling the issue of food waste shocking and distressing, Xi highlighted the need to maintain a sense of crisis regarding food security, especially amid the fallout of the COVID-19 epidemic, despite the fact that China has scored consecutive bumper harvests.
他指出，餐飲浪費現(xiàn)象，觸目驚心、令人痛心！盡管我國糧食生產連年豐收，對糧食安全還是始終要有危機意識，今年全球新冠肺炎疫情所帶來的影響更是給我們敲響了警鐘。

Xi stressed enhancing legislation and supervision, taking effective measures, and establishing a long-term mechanism to stop food waste.
習近平強調，要加強立法，強化監(jiān)管，采取有效措施，建立長效機制，堅決制止餐飲浪費行為。

It is necessary to further enhance public awareness of the issue, effectively cultivate thrifty habits and foster a social environment where waste is shameful and thriftiness is applaudable, Xi said.
要進一步加強宣傳教育，切實培養(yǎng)節(jié)約習慣，在全社會營造浪費可恥、節(jié)約為榮的氛圍。

Xi has attached great importance to food security and repeatedly called for promoting the social custom of practicing thrift and opposing waste. He has emphasized the need to stop food waste on many occasions.
習近平一直高度重視糧食安全和提倡“厲行節(jié)約、反對浪費”的社會風尚，多次強調要制止餐飲浪費行為。

In January 2013, he made an instruction on the issue and has since given multiple instructions requiring efforts including forceful institutional constraints, strict compliance with systems, strong supervision and inspection and severe punishment mechanisms to effectively curb various violations of rules, disciplines and laws regarding the consumption using public funds.
2013年1月，習近平就作出重要指示，要求厲行節(jié)約、反對浪費。此后，習近平又多次作出重要指示，要求以剛性的制度約束、嚴格的制度執(zhí)行、強有力的監(jiān)督檢查、嚴厲的懲戒機制，切實遏制公款消費中的各種違規(guī)違紀違法現(xiàn)象。

He also gave specific requirements for reducing waste in schools and promoting students' awareness and practices of being thrifty.
他還針對部分學校存在食物浪費和學生節(jié)儉意識缺乏的問題，對切實加強引導和管理，培養(yǎng)學生勤儉節(jié)約良好美德等提出明確要求。
