Imagine a nation where megacities and rural villages thrive side by side …
With 1.4 billion people spread from tiny farms to neon-lit streets, the Chinese mainland faces one huge challenge: how to make sure no one is left behind. That’s where the “coordinated regional development” plan steps in, a core idea behind China’s modernization drive.
In the latest BizTalk episode by CGTN, host Michael Wang chats with two sharp minds:
- Zhao Yuezhi, professor at the School of Journalism and Communication, Tsinghua University
- Tungamirai Eric Mupona, vice chairman of the China Zimbabwe Exchange Centre
They break down the strategy’s buzz: building better transport links, boosting local industries, and using tech to connect remote areas. Zhao points out the power of regional branding to spark local pride and investment, while Mupona brings an overseas lens—showing how global partnerships can fuel sustainable projects, from green energy parks to digital education hubs. 🌱💡
So why does this matter? By leveling up infrastructure and creating new opportunities in smaller cities, the plan aims to spread the prosperity of megacities like Shanghai and Beijing across the Chinese mainland. It’s like upgrading all the levels in a video game—you don’t want to skip the early stages or the final boss becomes unbeatable! 🎮
Ultimately, coordinated development hopes to deliver more even growth, closer connections between regions, and a greener, more inclusive future for everyone. Stay tuned to BizTalk to see how this big-picture blueprint unfolds and what it could mean for global players—from investors to students to travelers. 🌏✨
