When you think of China's economic hotspots, the bustling eastern coastal cities probably come to mind. But guess what? The central and western regions are stepping up their game and bringing some serious heat to the table! 🔥
Over the past decade, these inland areas have seen equipment manufacturing revenues soar by over 40%! 🚀 They're not just catching up—they're leading the charge in China's high-quality development journey.
Take Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province. Sure, it's famous for its spicy hot pots 🌶️ and adorable pandas 🐼, but it's also becoming a tech powerhouse! One shining star is XGIMI, a company that started in 2013 making intelligent projectors and laser TVs.
Fast forward ten years, and XGIMI's innovative products are brightening up homes in over 100 countries and regions, reaching more than 5 million users worldwide! 🌍✨
So what's their secret sauce? It's all about tech innovation. Not only do they make sleek and cool gadgets, but they've also mastered algorithms and optical hardware that set them apart.
Just recently, on September 17, 2024, XGIMI snagged a new patent that boosts wireless data transfer efficiency. 📡 While the technical details might make your head spin 🤯, the impact is clear: faster, smoother connections enhancing user experiences with modern projectors and devices connected through 5G and other wireless tech.
This new patent is a fresh addition to their impressive portfolio of over 1,000 patents! Talk about innovation! 💡
Chinese President Xi Jinping recognized this potential during his visits to Sichuan in 2018 and 2022. In 2022, he stopped by XGIMI's manufacturing facility, highlighting the government's support for innovative, privately-owned companies making waves globally. 🌐
President Xi emphasized that Sichuan's economic competitiveness should be boosted by innovation and deepening reforms to keep pushing towards high-quality development. This summer's Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC echoed this sentiment, stressing the vital role of innovation and reform in China's growth.
So next time you think of China's economic future, remember it's not just about the coast—central and western China are lighting up the map in a big way! ✨🗺️
