Govt efforts boost Guizhou's growth

Of the 27 provincial-level regions that recently published their gross domestic product growth figures for the first three quarters of this year, 22 registered a higher growth than the country's average, with Guizhou province and the Tibet autonomous region ranking first.

Guizhou has actually maintained its strong economic momentum since 2011, with its GDP growing by 10.7 percent in 2015 and 11.73 percent in 2017.

How has the southwestern province, a region geographically located in China's less-developed inland region, which was known for its relatively weak economic foundation and backward infrastructure, managed to pick up its development steam?
