Wuxi City, located in east China’s Jiangsu Province, stands as a shining example of how economic prosperity and cultural heritage can thrive together. Renowned for its remarkable economic achievements, Wuxi has also preserved its profound cultural roots, making it one of China’s richest cities in both aspects.
To delve deeper into what makes Wuxi unique, CGTN recently invited Pu Xujin, dean of the business school at Jiangnan University, to discuss the city’s distinctive industrial and commercial environment. Pu highlighted how Wuxi has successfully blended traditional industries with modern innovation.
“Wuxi’s growth is not just about economic figures,” Pu explained. “It’s about creating an environment where culture and economy enhance each other. The city’s emphasis on cultural economy has attracted talent from across the nation, fostering creativity and sustainable development.”
Wuxi’s talent policies have been pivotal in its development. By offering supportive programs and opportunities, the city has become a magnet for professionals and academics. “Our policies are designed to nurture talent,” Pu said. “We believe that investing in people is the key to long-term success.”
The city’s cultural economy is equally impressive. With a rich history and vibrant arts scene, Wuxi offers a unique blend of the old and the new. Traditional cultural sites coexist with modern developments, providing both residents and visitors with a diverse experience.
As Wuxi continues to grow, it sets a benchmark for other cities aiming to balance economic growth with cultural preservation. Its story is a testament to the possibilities that arise when a city invests in both its economy and its heritage.
