Ten Years for Regional Changes
The "Regional Development 20×10 Policy" is to put the basic material and cultural living standards of the people onto another high stage throughout the country within ten years' time by building modern regional-industry factories in 20 counties every year.
Necessary measures are taken to supply fund and materials to the 20 counties planned by the state this year to implement the regional development policy.

factories in regions to develop cities and counties, regional bases, and has pushed ahead with its

regional people across the country with a material and cultural life
that would improve in a sustained way.
"At the consultative meeting for regional development project held on August 31, 2024, the respected General Secretary

policy for regional development in the new era should not be confined to
the construction of light-industry factories but should be a
comprehensive policy dealing with public health, science and education.

regional people’s material and cultural life and radically improve the
efficiency of regional development, he added.
He also said it is the requirement of the Party Central Committee that those undertakings should be carried out on the highest level so that the regional people can enjoy substantial benefits from them."
