On the morning of November 12, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government held a meeting to review economic performance in the first three quarters of 2026 and advance the “Enterprise Service Year” initiative, key project development, the comprehensive performance evaluation of high-quality development, and efforts to drive implementation through intensified oversight and incentives. Wei Zhaohui, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, presided over the meeting and delivered a speech. Gao Jingsheng, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and acting mayor, set out specific arrangements. Also present were He Zunqing, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Commission; Li Wanqian, director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People’s Congress; Peng Yanmin, secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Municipal Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC); and municipal leaders Yin Peiguo, Hu Chen, Zhou Chongyan, Zuo Hong, Zhou Yangpin, Wu Hanming, Zhang Gong and Zhou Wei.
Wei pointed out that the city must further raise its political stance, thoroughly study and implement the guiding principles of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, grasp the situation with a clear head, and truly align its thinking and actions with the sprint for the fourth quarter and the drive to secure a successful outcome for the whole year.
Wei stressed the need to tackle difficulties head-on and sprint to the finish with a decisive posture. Targets must be held firmly in view, analysis of economic indicators must be made more penetrating, so that working patterns can be grasped, the right levers identified and concrete measures worked out; municipal leaders must take the lead in coordination and supervision, and every task must be pinned down to a specific department and a specific person in charge, so that weekly progress underpins the month, monthly progress underpins the quarter and quarterly progress underpins the year, and the best possible results are pursued with the greatest effort. Statistics must be truthful and reflect reality, and falsification must be resolutely prevented. Breakthroughs must be sought by focusing on key areas: the “four articles” of port, industry, city and tourism must be pursued without letup; the international land port must remain the strategic fulcrum for development, and, with the “six dimensions” upgrading initiative as the lever, the building of “AI land port” application scenarios must be accelerated, functions and facilities improved and the three-year action for stabilizing and upgrading foreign trade implemented; industries must be developed with a chain-based approach, competitive advantage expanded through cluster effects and clusters built along industrial chains by fostering an ecosystem, while projects must be given priority, investment promotion must be pursued by going out proactively and large, high-quality projects must be attracted on a sustained basis; Hecheng-Zhongfang integration must remain the core growth pole, with all-out efforts on the ten key tasks and ten major construction projects, and faster progress in building a regional commercial and logistics center, an education and health care center, and a consumption and tourism hub. Services must be improved to shore up confidence, the “Enterprise Service Year” campaign deepened and the gains in investment attraction built upon. Risks must be strictly guarded against and the bottom line held firm — workplace safety, local government debt, financial risks and the handling of public petitions and stability maintenance. The evaluation system must be further improved, a results-oriented approach firmly established, excellence pursued on all fronts, and supervision and accountability made rigorous, taking a clear stand in encouraging hard work, rewarding those who forge ahead and pressing every unit to deliver.
Wei required that the concentrated campaign against misconduct and corruption that directly affect the public be deepened, the provincial and municipal practical projects that benefit residents be delivered, solid preparations be made for the on-site assessment of the national civilized city campaign, the rectification of prominent ecological and environmental problems be pushed forward, solid work be done in the annual business environment evaluation, arrears owed to enterprises be cleared in full, the annual two sessions be carefully prepared, and next year’s work planned early.
Gao Jingsheng required that every effort be made to monitor economic performance and keep operations stable, grow industries and strengthen support, build projects and expand investment, boost consumption and stabilize foreign trade, prevent risks and ensure safety, raise efficiency and improve the city’s ranking, and strive for a good start to the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
At the meeting, briefings were given on the city’s economic performance in the first three quarters of 2026, the “Enterprise Service Year” campaign, the construction of key projects and the inspection and incentive program for rigorous implementation, the citywide comprehensive performance appraisal for high-quality development, and progress in the “four articles” of port, industry, city and tourism. Some counties, districts and industrial parks also made presentations.
