Shaanxi province in northwest China is pursuing high-quality development and outlining a modern industrial blueprint characterized by its unique strengths, and according to the achievements so far, it's full steam ahead.

The province has successfully cultivated four industrial clusters, valued at one trillion RMB, in advanced manufacturing, modern energy, cultural tourism, and strategic emerging industries. Industries such as new materials, new energy vehicles, integrated circuits, and semiconductor devices are experiencing remarkable growth.

Tongchuan city in central Shaanxi is actively promoting the expansion of the new material industry, particularly in fields like magnesium, asphalt and ceramics. Several related projects are already operational, and others, such as high-end carbon-based new materials sourced from coal and recycling rare and precious metals, are accelerating development.

Huang Yong, the executive vice mayor of Tongchuan, said, "We have planned and established an optoelectronic industrial park, established two provincial research (innovation) centers, introduced two academician workstations, and attracted 36 optoelectronic enterprises. The park is now equipped with design, development, testing, packaging, and integrated application capabilities for optoelectronic products, and has been recognized as a specialized park within the province."

Shaanxi places great emphasis on innovation as the fundamental driving force behind its high-quality industrial development.

In this vein, it has actively facilitated the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that employ specialized and sophisticated technologies to produce novel and unique products. In addition, the province has nurtured a total of 188 national "little giant" enterprises and identified 24 enterprises as national manufacturing champions, ranking first in western China.

Capitalizing on the Qinchuangyuan innovation platform, Shaanxi has made dedicated efforts to industrialize sci-tech achievements. It has established a state-level manufacturing innovation center and 41 state-level enterprise technology centers. Furthermore, through open bidding, the province has allocated 418 million RMB to support 182 projects aimed at achieving crucial technological breakthroughs.

These combined efforts have yielded significant results in terms of enterprise innovation. Longi Green, for instance, has achieved a global record with its solar cells boasting a conversion efficiency of 26.81 percent. Moreover, TELD's electric vehicle charging network technology leads the nation in the new energy vehicle charging industry.

As an integral node along the Belt and Road Initiative and a crucial transportation hub for the Eurasian land bridge, Shaanxi is investing in the development of convenient transportation infrastructure to facilitate high-quality growth.

The construction of the high-speed rail network is another area that has been fast tracked. Meanwhile, the province's highway network is well-linked with other provinces, and the Xi'an Xianyang International Airport aims to become an international aviation hub, capable of serving 83 million passengers and handling one million tons of cargo each year.

The China-Europe Railway "Chang'an" has opened 17 international routes that connect 45 countries and regions. This extensive transportation network positions Shaanxi as a key trade source for Central Asia, South Asia, West Asia, and Europe.
