Meeting Zhejiang governor | Lu Zushan

Hangzhou - The economic development in East China's Zhejiang province, one of China's greatest economic powerhouses, must slow down during the next five years to accommodate efforts to clean up industry and protect the environment, according to the governor of the province.

Lu Zushan, head of the most vibrant industrial area in China, took a bold step by setting lower targets for the annual growth of the province's gross domestic product.
