One of China's old industrial bases under transformation and upgrading, Changchun, capital of Jilin province, has made achievements and will obtain more support from the central government in 2018.
The establishment of Huawei's cloud calculating center, the launching of Jilin-1 satellites, the opening of innovation and entrepreneurship bases and the operation of international railroads all reflect a rising Changchun in both economic performance and global influence.
Entrepreneurs who settled their programs and companies here speak highly of the city.
Vice president of Huawei Yang Ruikai said "I can always see changes in Changchun. People are vigorous, the local government keeps improving its working efficiency and the environment is getting better."
Wang Junzheng, Party secretary of the city, said the Changchun government will apply the central government's policies to the real situation of the city's development and promote revitalization in all aspects.
The city also explored cooperation with other cities and provinces in China.
For instance, officials visited Tianjin and signed an agreement on port cooperation soon after the suggestion of the cooperation mechanism between NE China cities and coastal cities given by the central government.
In the past few years, the city was selected as one of the pilot cities involved in the China Made 2025 initiative and a total of 236 innovation and entrepreneurship bases have been built.
Increases in livelihoods were also evident. One hundred and twenty-four villages were pulled out of poverty and the registered unemployment rate has been controlled at around 3.4 percent.
The local government will continue to focus on industrial transformation and upgrading to promote its economic growth and will support development of emerging industries to open a new page in old industrial base revitalization.
