Lou Qinjian, secretary of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee, called for efforts to strengthen regular epidemic prevention and control and promote social and economic development. He made the remarks when going on an inspection tour in Yangzhou city on Wednesday.
When visiting Yangzhou Sanwan Ecological and Cultural Park, Lou Qinjian asked about the progress of the planning and construction of the Grand Canal Intangible Cultural Park. The park resumed its opening on September 9 by imposing restrictions on the flow of tourists, temperature detection, and health code checking.
Lou said that the planning and construction of Sanwan Ecological and Cultural Park must highlight the protection of the unique natural ecology and historical and cultural resources, and coordinate the cultural venues and museums in the province to create selected exhibitions, making the Sanwan Scenic Area a new symbol of tourism and culture in Yangzhou.
When visiting Dongguan Street, a traditional and popular tourist attraction in Yangzhou, Lou Qinjian inquired about the operation of the front shops and whether they have encountered any difficulties.
The CPC provincial chief said that the epidemic has caused difficulties for tourism and business operations, making it necessary to implement relief policies such as rent reduction and exemption to help business operators tide over the temporary difficulties.
Hyva Mechanics (China) Co., Ltd. in Yangzhou has grown from a small factory in 2004 into the group's fourth production base and Far East marketing center.
Lou Qinjian inquired about the company's technology research and development, market share, and inspected the full range of sanitation products.
Lou encouraged the company to seize the opportunity to speed up development, strengthen its products while expanding the brand's popularity and influence so as to play a greater role in the construction of beautiful urban and rural areas.
When inspecting the Yangzhou Collaborative Innovation Research Institute of Shenyang Aircraft Design and Research Institute, Lou Qinjian encouraged technicians to build a platform for the transformation of aviation science and technology achievements to promote the development of the local industrial chain.
During his visit to Weichai Power Yangzhou Diesel Engine Co., Ltd, Lou Qinjian inspected the company’s workshop and was pleased to learn that the company’s sales from January to August had increased by 11% year-on-year.
Noting that advanced manufacturing is Jiangsu's outstanding advantage, Lou said that Jiangsu will focus on the goal of becoming a manufacturing powerhouse and create the most suitable environment for corporate development.
As the Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festivalis approaching, Lou Qinjian visited the innovative experimental base jointly built by Academician Zhang Hongcheng and Yangzhou University where he greeted Zhang and other agricultural science and technology workers.
Lou inquired about the research progress of the experimental field and was pleased to be informed that the base has overcome the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic to promote breeding. He also spoke highly of the "government-industry-university-research-enterprise" cooperation model.
He told Academician Zhang Hongcheng that it was very hard for agricultural scientific and technical personnel to conduct experiments in the fields, adding that we must rely on technology and experts to ensure stable grain supply.
During the inspection tour, Lou Qinjian spoke highly of efforts that Yangzhou has made in coordinating the prevention and control of the epidemic and the development of economic and social recovery.
Noting that epidemic prevention and control and production safety are related to the people's life, health, and social security and stability, he emphasized that the bottom line must be kept firmly.
Lou Qinjian called for Yangzhou to bolster confidence, maintain strategic resolve and promote sustained economic and social development against the adversities caused by the epidemic.
