Pujiang county in Jinhua, East China's Zhejiang province, has over the past 20 years been making efforts to drive common prosperity.
Specifically, authorities have been focusing on bolstering its traditional and emerging industries, with agreements on 13 projects with a combined investment of 16.39 billion yuan ($2.27 billion) signed in the first half of this year. The county's GDP from January to May increased by 6.5 percent year-on-year.
The projects are related to industries such as 5G information, photovoltaic and high-end equipment manufacturing, which will lay a solid foundation for Pujiang's common prosperity efforts.
