Liaoning's push for high-tech industry expansion

Liaoning province will introduce more measures to develop its high-tech sector and improve its overall business environment to make itself more appealing to both global and domestic investors, officials recently told journalists during their trip to the province.

Organized by the State Council Information Office, the four-day interview trip attracted over 30 journalists from 19 domestic and international media outlets to record stories about the high-quality development of its manufacturing industry and foreign trade, as well as culture and ecological protection.

Located in the core area of the Northeast Asia economic circle, Liaoning serves as an important window for China's opening to the north and a central hub for cooperation in Northeast Asia.

Data from the provincial development and reform commission shows that in the first six months, the province saw its GDP exceed 1.4 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 5.6 percent.

In recent years, Liaoning has accelerated the simultaneous promotion of digitizing existing industries and investing in new digital industries, aiming to build an advanced equipment manufacturing base with international influence. The new world-class industry base will focus on petrochemicals, fine chemicals, and metallurgy.

According to the provincial department of industry and information technology, 20 fully connected 5G factories have recently been established, contributing to the 8.3 percent year-on-year increase to Liaoning's high-tech manufacturing industry during the January to July period.

At the 2023 World Robot Conference held in Beijing in August, robot maker Siasun Robot & Automation Co showcased its latest robots, attracting numerous visitors and business interests.
