Chinese Premier Li Qiang rolled up his sleeves this week during a high-energy tour of Hebei Province, calling for turbocharged innovation and eco-friendly upgrades in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei mega-region. The tech-forward mission comes as China doubles down on sustainable development goals. 💡
Xiong'an: The Silicon Valley of the North?
At the China Satellite Network Group in Xiong'an New Area – China's answer to a futuristic smart city – Li championed plans to attract cutting-edge companies and build a 'high-tech industrial ecosystem.' Think Silicon Valley, but with more green spaces and high-speed rail. 🛰️
Baiyangdian Lake Gets Eco-Makeover
The Premier gave a thumbs-up 👌 to environmental efforts at Baiyangdian Lake, the region's 'kidney' ecosystem. His message? Protect the water, protect the future. Local teams are now working on a coordinated cleanup plan stretching from the lake's source to its downstream flow.
Semiconductors & Disaster Prep in Focus
Li's tech tour included a pitstop at a Baoding semiconductor factory, where he dropped some wisdom: 'Invest in R&D, crack those core tech challenges!' Meanwhile, in flood-hit Zhuozhou, reconstruction efforts got a presidential pep talk about building 'climate-resilient cities.' 🌊➡️🛡️
