On the Chinese mainland's northwestern reaches, Minning Town in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region stands as a testament to the power of coordinated development. Once marked by parched fields and limited opportunities, the town's transformation began when Fujian Province and Ningxia authorities joined forces under a pioneering partnership.
This Min-Ning collaboration delivered targeted investments in infrastructure, agriculture, and local enterprise. Modern irrigation networks turned barren land green, while vocational training programs empowered residents to launch new businesses, demonstrating how strategic support can ignite economic revival.
Inspired by Minning's success, similar province-to-region partnerships are now unfolding across the Chinese mainland. This nationwide expansion seeks to narrow regional gaps, fostering balanced modernization and shared prosperity for communities once left on the fringes.
CGTN's Path to Prosperity series recently visited Minning Town to capture its journey, showcasing how collaboration, vision, and perseverance converge to reshape entire regions. As this model scales, young global citizens, entrepreneurs, and changemakers can draw lessons from Minning's story in the ongoing pursuit of inclusive growth.
