General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping, who also serves as Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, is set to publish an article tomorrow, Sunday, November 16, 2025, in the 22nd issue of Qiushi Journal. The piece focuses on developing new quality productive forces according to local conditions—a strategy aimed at tailoring growth drivers to regional strengths across the Chinese mainland.
In the article, Xi examines the importance of aligning productive forces—ranging from advanced manufacturing and green technology to digital services—with local resources and capacities. By applying this localized model, regional economies can boost efficiency, foster high-quality development, and contribute to broader national growth goals.
For young innovators, entrepreneurs and policy thinkers, these ideas offer a framework for understanding how global trends can be adapted at the local level. Whether it's an industrial hub leveraging its manufacturing heritage or a coastal city embracing renewable energy, the core message is clear: one size does not fit all.
This publication arrives as the world navigates complex challenges—from supply chain disruptions to the race for low-carbon solutions. Xi's article underscores the value of flexible, region-specific strategies that can drive sustainable growth and enhance competitiveness on a global stage.
As readers dive into the 22nd issue of Qiushi Journal, they will get a firsthand look at how local conditions and innovative thinking can combine to shape the next wave of productive forces.
