the construction of a rural road network that is convenient, efficient, and equally
beneficial to all. We surveyed and recommended the sixth batch of designated

traditional Chinese villages.
7. We took solid steps to ensure the implementation of major strategic plans and
optimized regional economic structures.
We promoted coordinated development of different regions, achieved solid
progress in new urbanization, and moved faster to develop a regional economic

layout and a territorial space system under which different regions complement
each other’s strengths and promote high-quality development.
1) Major regional development strategies were further implemented.
We continued to promote the coordinated development of the
Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. A number of central government enterprises,

hospitals, and universities that had been designated to relieve Beijing of functions
nonessential to its role as the capital took root in the Xiong’an New Area.
Infrastructure in the Tianjin-Hebei port cluster continued to improve. The
integration of railway networks in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region made traveling
more convenient.

We took strong measures to advance the green and high-quality development
of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The Yangtze River Protection Law was fully
implemented. Clear results were achieved in addressing prominent environmental
issues and in advancing the “4+1” project for curbing pollution from the chemical

industry, ships, agricultural non-point sources, and tailing sites and for treating
urban sewage and waste. We regulated sewage outfalls into rivers and launched a
number of other initiatives. The 10-year ban on fishing in key waters of the
Yangtze River basin was smoothly implemented.
We accelerated the construction of an initial development zone for the Greater

Bay Area comprehensive national science center, continued to improve
infrastructure connectivity and rule compatibility in this area, and promoted the
development of Hengqin, Qianhai, Nansha, Hetao, and other major cooperative
platforms.

We actively encouraged integration between technological innovation and
industry in the Yangtze River Delta region. The spatial layout of the G60 Sci-Tech
Innovation Valley and the Shanghai-Nanjing industrial innovation belt was
optimized to better drive innovation based on coordinated development of the two
areas. Integration in key fields such as infrastructure, eco-environment, and public

services was significantly improved.
