It fully considered the international economic reality, China’s industrial advantages, and the needs of other countries. The Forum would inject new vitality to global economy and coordinated regional development. As the six provinces of Central China, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangxi and Shanxi boasted solid industrial foundation, comprehensive subsectors, and abundant resources for innovation and business start-ups. Central China played a unique role in supporting China’s economy and promoting international industrial capacity cooperation. With Central China ushering in a golden decade of fast development, it was considered both timely and promising to advance global production capacity right here, right now. We sincerely welcomed global partners to join us on the expressway of the Rise of Central China and work together to seek common development.
