The Communist Party of China (CPC) leadership is taking significant steps to accelerate the growth of the central region of the Chinese mainland, which includes Shanxi, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei, and Hunan provinces. In a recent meeting presided over by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, key policies and measures were discussed to foster economic development and ensure financial stability.
Covering a tenth of the nation's land and home to approximately a quarter of its population, the central region plays a crucial role in grain production, energy, raw materials, modern equipment manufacturing, high-tech industries, and serves as a vital transportation hub. Recognizing its strategic importance, the CPC aims to make major breakthroughs in this area by focusing on innovation-driven development.
Emphasizing the need for original scientific and technological research, the leadership is pushing for the development of new quality productive forces tailored to local conditions. This includes accelerating the creation of a modernized industrial system, enhancing the real economy sector, and boosting competitiveness on a global scale.
The CPC also highlighted the importance of upgrading traditional industries while nurturing emerging and future-oriented industries. Additionally, plans are in place to develop a modern transportation infrastructure system, ensuring the efficient, free, and smooth flow of production factors across the region.
By implementing these measures, the CPC aims to transform the central region into a powerhouse of economic activity, driving sustainable growth and reinforcing the Chinese mainland's position in the global economy.
