Two ports, four commercial centers, 10 industrial zones, three economic pillars as well as its unparalleled environment will soon illuminate the future of Changchun New Area. After taking shape, the projects will not only be a breakthrough for Changchun in terms of adjusting its economic structure, but also provide a motive for the city, Jilin province and Northeast China to develop their new economy, too.
It is fitting for a place labeled a "new area" to focus on the future.
As such, Changchun New Area is planning to set up an innovative industrial system focusing on sectors of advanced manufacturing and modern services and agriculture by the end of 2020, the area’s officials said.
The new area’s location in Northeast China was approved by the State Council in February.
The area aims to become a new and powerful engine for the economic development of Jilin province, of which Changchun is the capital.
The new area’s industrial system will feature "five plus six plus two", officials said.
Five refers to one advantaged sector, namely the auto industry, and the four strategic emerging industries of advanced equipment manufacturing, optoelectronic information, biological medicine and new materials and energy.
