Shanxi to further green efforts

Northern province takes steps to reduce reliance on energy-intensive resources

Shanxi province has embarked on a path of economic transformation and high-quality development in accelerating its structural adjustment to boost productivity by fostering policies of green and sustainable development, the province's leaders said.

"The major goal of Shanxi's new transformation is to build a national demonstration area in the transformation of a resource-based economy, become a pioneer of China's energy revolution, and explore new horizons for opening up as an inland province," said Luo Huining, secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.
