Innovations in science and technology, culture, institutions, and mechanisms have laid the ground for high-quality development in the manufacturing sector, accelerated the building of three sci-tech innovation hubs, and greatly facilitated the digital reforms. The people of Zhejiang, with an enterprising spirit, have opened up a brand new horizon.

Coordinated Development

Development, only when it is balanced, can be sustainable. Zhejiang attaches great importance to solving the problem of unbalanced development. Great efforts have been devoted to promoting coordinated development of both urban and rural areas, of different regions, and of both material and cultural progress together with the full implementation of the rural vitalization strategy. As a result, the outlook of both urban and rural areas in Zhejiang changes for the better with each passing day. Zhejiang has now become one of the provinces in China with a minimum income gap.

Green development

Green development has been the golden trademark of Zhejiang. Over the past two decades or so, Zhejiang has adhered to the vision that “lucid waters and lush mountains are indeed mountains of gold and silver”, and taken vigorous measures to improve the environment, bolster the ecological advantages, and cultivate an eco-friendly culture. The color green has thus become the most shining and striking example of successful development in Zhejiang.
