Jiangxi’s Revamp: Blending History & Innovation

Jiangxi Province, known for its revolutionary legacy, is stepping into the spotlight with bold plans to boost its economy while honoring its past. At a State Council Information Office press conference, Governor Ye Jianchun outlined how the region aims to balance tradition with cutting-edge development.

Revolutionary Roots Meet Modern Tech

Governor Ye emphasized leveraging Jiangxi's 'red culture'—a nod to its historical role in China's revolutionary movements—to attract tourism and educational projects. But the real buzz? A push into green energy, AI, and high-tech manufacturing. Think solar farms beside ancient tea plantations!

Eco-Friendly Growth for the Win

Jiangxi's strategy includes expanding eco-tourism and sustainable agriculture, with plans to turn rural areas into hubs for organic farming. The governor also teased partnerships with tech giants to build 'smart villages'—think 5G-connected farms and drone-based crop monitoring.

Youth & Skills Take Center Stage

To attract young talent, Jiangxi is rolling out subsidies for startups and upgrading universities to focus on green tech and AI. 'We’re not just preserving history—we’re writing a new chapter,' Ye said, hinting at upcoming innovation parks near historic sites.
