Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized innovation-driven development and coordinated regional reforms during a key deliberation at the third session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) on Wednesday. The leader joined deputies from Jiangsu Province to discuss strategies for advancing scientific innovation and industrial upgrading amid global economic uncertainties.
Xi, who also serves as General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, highlighted Jiangsu's strategic role as an economic powerhouse. The province's advancements in renewable energy technologies and integrated circuit manufacturing were cited as models for national development under China's 'dual circulation' economic framework.
The annual NPC session convenes nearly 3,000 deputies to review policy blueprints and legislative agendas. Wednesday's discussions underscored Beijing's commitment to high-quality growth through targeted investments in sustainable industries and digital infrastructure.
Observers note that the deliberations provide critical insights into China's evolving policy priorities, particularly in balancing technological self-reliance with global economic integration. The outcomes are expected to influence business strategies across Asia's manufacturing and green tech sectors.
