CMG:
It has been more than 20 years since Zhejiang adopted the "Double-Eight Strategy." What efforts, centering on the high-quality development, will be made to further advance the "Double-Eight Strategy?" Thank you.
Wang Hao:
Thank you for your question, and I'll answer it. General Secretary Xi Jinping personally proposed the "Double-Eight Strategy" for the development of Zhejiang when he worked in the province, and made a series of key and foresighted decisions and arrangements. Last year marked the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the "Double-Eight Strategy." Guided by the "Double-Eight Strategy," Zhejiang in the past 20 years has witnessed remarkable changes in a widespread, systemic and profound manner. Under the guidance of the "Double-Eight Strategy," historic achievements have been made in high-quality development and modernization. Looking forward, Zhejiang will continue to unswervingly and fully implement the "Double-Eight Strategy" so as to "serve as a pioneer, and write a new chapter."
Currently, Zhejiang has continued putting into practice the "Double-Eight Strategy," which aims to achieve the goal of becoming "a pioneer in Chinese modernization," as well as the mission of "writing a new chapter of Zhejiang in advancing Chinese modernization." Year in and year out, we will stay focused on our goal and work hard toward it, ensuring our efforts are always results-oriented, pioneering and responsive to the trends of the time. We will step up endeavors in the following four aspects:
First, we will make greater efforts to address the "growing pains" that emerge when pursuing high-quality development, and take the lead in building new strengths for development through sci-tech innovation. We will stay committed to the path of new industrialization, and ramp up efforts to develop new quality productive forces according to local conditions. We will promote the building of a sci-tech innovation system and foster advanced manufacturing clusters, and pursue progress in making Zhejiang a strong province in education, science and technology and human resources. We will boost efforts to address problems that hinder high-quality development, such as the lack of resource factors, weakened momentum, constrained development spaces and imbalances and inadequacies, so as to build the province into a place with high-level capabilities for innovation and an advanced manufacturing base in the world.
Second, we will step up efforts to make landmark achievements in building a demonstration zone for common prosperity, and establish the province into a key example in promoting common prosperity. We will explore and establish fundamental systems and mechanisms that are conducive to promoting common prosperity. Greater efforts will be made to advance the Green Rural Revival Program in the new era and promote high-quality development in counties located in both mountainous regions and island areas. We will strive for high-quality shared public services so as to guarantee that more tangible benefits can be delivered to the people. Meanwhile, we will try our best to create more experiential practices that can be repeated and promoted.
Third, we will make greater efforts to explore new ways in deepening institutional innovation, and write a new chapter in deepening reform and opening up. We will promote the reform of public services in a bid to lower enterprise costs and increase their profits, continuing to improve the business environment so as to promote high-quality development of the private economy and to build the province into a pilot for high-quality and efficient reform. We will promote high-level opening up and encourage enterprises to "go global" and "bring in foreign investments." Intensified efforts will be made to build world-class ports and to steadily expand institutional opening up with the aim of making the province outstanding for higher-level opening up.
Fourth, we will focus on enhancing the potential of Zhejiang's culture to actively explore our path toward modern Chinese civilization. We will champion the Red Boat Spirit of the Chinese Communists and the Zhejiang Spirit that keeps pace with the times. Cultural heritage sites, including the Liangzhu Ruins, the West Lake, and the Grand Canal, will be better preserved and passed on. We will also advocate for the deep integration of culture and tourism and develop cultural programs and the cultural industry, aiming to make Zhejiang a renowned and favored destination , known for its picturesque landscapes, traditional Chinese culture, and dynamic development.
Seeking solid progress in implementing the "Double-Eight Strategy" is both a demanding and important task. We will see that officials correctly understand what it means to perform well and integrate this understanding into their actions. Every task should be implemented and deliver tangible results. By doing so, Zhejiang will take decisive, rapid, and effective steps to fully implement the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the decisions and plans of the CPC Central Committee.
That's all from me. Thank you.
