Here’s what you need to know about China in the past 24 hours

Multiple provincial-level regions across China have identified boosting technological innovation and improving the business environment as their top priorities during meetings on Wednesday, the first official working day after the Spring Festival holidays, displaying firm resolve to promote high-quality development.

At a meeting on Wednesday, Huang Kunming, Party chief of South China's Guangdong Province, said that as the largest provincial economy, Guangdong should play a leading and demonstration role in boosting the modernization of the industrial system.

Huang urged relevant departments and cities to seize and make good use of all favorable conditions to transform positive factors into development achievements and build a modern industrial system with more international competitiveness to support the construction of a prosperous and dynamic new Guangdong with abundant economic and social vitality in the months to come.

Among other things, the province will make concentrated efforts in artificial intelligence and robots so as to foster new growth drivers featuring advanced technologies, high growth rates and large industrial volume. Additionally, Guangdong will implement major special projects to strengthen the province's chip industry and strive for breakthroughs in core software.

Guangdong has a wide range of manufacturing industries, including traditional, emerging and future sectors, as well as advanced manufacturing and modern services in Guangzhou, technological innovation and high-tech industries in Shenzhen, smart home appliances in Foshan and smart terminals in Dongguan. This integration has resulted in the development of eight industrial clusters, each valued at 1 trillion yuan, according to the provincial chief.

East China's Anhui Province focused on new quality productive forces at a meeting on Wednesday. The meeting stressed the need to actively seize crucial opportunities in the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, lead the development of new quality productive forces with tech innovation, and accelerate the modernization of the industrial system.

Continuously improving the business environment was also a priority in the first meetings of several provincial-level regions. For example, Shanghai's "first meeting" focused on optimizing business environment, and issued an action plan on building a world-class business environment, according to a report on Shanghai's official website.

Wang Weizhong, governor of Guangdong, said the province would spare no effort to create a market-oriented, rule-of-law-driven, internationalized and first-class business environment to accelerate the construction of world-class enterprise clusters in 2025.
