High-tech zone invests heavily in 8 vital, large-scale projects

Administration launches next level of construction, spurred by Belt and Road Initiative, Li You reports.

Xi'an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone is one of the first national high-tech zones the State Council approved. After receiving approval in 1991, the zone has evolved to be one of the most centralized and dynamic industrial areas in the city of Xi'an, Shaanxi province, and in Northwest China, according to the zone's communications department.

Experts identify Xi'an as a major city on the Silk Road Economic Belt. Leveraging its geographic advantages, the zone can strengthen the city's scientific and innovation power and promote social development across Shaanxi province.
