Deputy Director Zhu Weidong of the Central Finance and Economics Office: Strengthen the overall planning of county-level industries to enrich the people and prevent falling into homogenization and escalating competitive dynamics.

On February 4, Zhu Weidong, Deputy Director of the Central Finance and Economics Office and Deputy Director of the Central Agricultural Office, stated at a press conference of the State Council Information Office that this year's Number One Central Document prioritizes increasing farmers' income and proposes a package of measures to achieve this. This includes developing and expanding industries that benefit the people in counties. Zhu Weidong pointed out that prosperous industries are the material foundation of rural revitalization and an important channel for increasing farmers' income. It is important to support various regions in developing their local resources to create unique county-level economies, promote the integrated development of industry, strong counties, and wealth for the people. Moreover, it is also necessary to strengthen coordinated planning of industrial projects to prevent them from falling into homogenization and intense competition. Additionally, efforts should be made to enhance integration and diversify industrial forms, extend industrial chains, and expand value chains.
