“Rural Revitalization: Progress and Future Plans”
The National Development and Reform Commission has announced that a total of 2.534 million low-income people will be employed in 2023 through the implementation of the work-for-relief policy. This initiative is expected to increase the per capita income of these individuals by more than 14,000 yuan. Additionally, efforts have been made to focus on the revitalization of rural areas, aiming to showcase prosperous industries, civilized rural customs, effective governance, and the accelerated advancement of agricultural and rural modernization.
To further promote this rural revitalization, the construction of beautiful villages has been a priority, reflecting the new look of the countryside in a more modernized and progressive direction. These efforts aim to contribute to the overall goal of achieving agricultural and rural modernization at an accelerated pace.
In the realm of intellectual property, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on January 16, introducing the progress of intellectual property work in 2023. Hu Wenhui, deputy director of the State Intellectual Property Office, highlighted the advancements made as of the end of 2023 in the field of intellectual property in China.
Furthermore, the Central Economic Work Conference proposed to actively cultivate new consumption growth points. This includes developing digital consumption, green consumption, and healthy consumption, aiming to create a new development pattern with a domestic cycle as the main body, and the domestic and international dual cycles reinforcing each other.
In line with these national strategic goals, efforts are also being made to strengthen the financial interconnection between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. This is reflected in the improvement of the financial markets of the two places, achieving “connectivity” in six key aspects, which is expected to contribute to the development of both regions’ financial sectors.
Moreover, the country has been focused on expanding market access and promoting consumer-oriented sectors. This winter, the city of Harbin in China has become a hot spot for consumer activity, highlighting the growing emphasis on new consumption patterns and preferences.
In the entertainment and cultural sector, various festivals and cultural events have been organized, such as the Peking Opera Art Festival, College Student Drama Festival, Golden Bell Award, and music festivals in Fujian. These events are essential in promoting Chinese culture, arts, and music.
As China progresses towards its development goals, these efforts reflect the nation’s commitment to promoting economic growth, innovation, and cultural richness, while also focusing on rural revitalization and modernization.
