During the ongoing 14th National People’s Congress session in Beijing, Fujian Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhou Zuyi outlined an ambitious economic development strategy centered on strengthening real economy sectors and empowering private enterprises. Speaking at an open-media deliberation session of the Fujian delegation on Friday, Zhou emphasized the province’s commitment to establishing itself as a national leader in high-quality economic development.
Zhou highlighted Fujian’s existing robust foundation in real economy sectors, noting that this provides significant advantages for constructing a modern industrial system. “Fujian must resolutely shoulder the responsibility of a major economic province,” Zhou stated, adding that the province aims to ensure its economic progress contributes substantially to national development objectives.
The provincial strategy for the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030) prioritizes intelligent transformation, green development, and integrated industrial advancement. Fujian plans to achieve comprehensive improvements across its industrial ecosystem by fostering deeper integration between scientific innovation and industrial applications.
A key component of this strategy involves implementing the “Jinjiang Experience”—a renowned model for private sector development—while advancing comprehensive reforms to enhance the business environment for private enterprises. The province will fully enact both the national Private Economy Promotion Law and corresponding provincial regulations, while actively promoting entrepreneurial spirit and developing succession plans for next-generation private business leaders.
Zhou further detailed that Fujian will pursue a balanced industrial approach that simultaneously upgrades traditional industries, cultivates emerging sectors, and strategically positions itself in future industries. This multi-faceted development framework aims to accelerate the construction of a strong private economy province while maintaining sustainable and innovation-driven growth.
