Wuhan formulates '10 golden rules' to boost innovation

College students in Wuhan can now postpone their studies to start businesses with the time spent translated into credits toward graduation.

It is part of a 10-point plan by the city government to commercialize research and boost innovation at the State-level Donghu innovative intellectual property rights pilot area, said Mayor Tang Liangzhi. He called the policies "10 golden rules".

Wuhan was long known as "the land of fish and rice", a vivid description showing its advantages in agriculture.
