Under the cordial care of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, Northeast China is undergoing a historic transformation.

近年来，东北持续攻关研发“国之重器”。2024年8月，由沈阳鼓风机集团为青海格尔木60MW液态空气储能示范项目研发生产的关键设备——水平剖分式离心压缩机组一次性机械试车成功，正式下线，我国液态空气储能关键设备实现新突破。图为压缩机组交付现场。视觉中国供图

Accelerating momentum, the development trend is changing.

If we observe the economy of Northeast China over the span of years, from the "13th Five-Year Plan" to the "14th Five-Year Plan," it is evident that the region's economy has moved away from low-speed stagnation and is showing a clear upward trend.

Industry is the "ballast" of the Northeast economy. Walking into the workshop of Shenyang Blower Works Group, the production information of each production line is scrolling in real time on the large screen. "Through digital transformation, even old enterprises like ours have been rejuvenated," said the head of Shenyang Blower Works Group.

A batch of strategic emerging industries has grown from "seedlings" to "small trees." In the past year, the output value of strategic emerging industries in Jilin accounted for .% of the total industrial output above the designated size; the added value of high-tech manufacturing in Liaoning increased by .%; the Harbin aviation cluster and the Suihua-Daqing biological manufacturing cluster in Heilongjiang were promoted to national advanced manufacturing clusters; and the industrial added value in Inner Mongolia surpassed the trillion yuan mark...

After years of cultivation and adjustment, the economic resilience of Northeast China has strengthened, and its momentum has increased.

Taking responsibility and acting accordingly, the work style of cadres is changing.

The Deputy Director of the Cultural and Tourism Bureau of Yuhong District in Shenyang promoted local rice in English; the directors of cultural and tourism bureaus in various cities of Heilongjiang made creative pitches to attract tourists nationwide; the Director of the Cultural and Tourism Department of Jilin Province extended a warm invitation to visitors to experience the ice and snow tourism in Jilin... Since last year, the cultural and tourism bureau directors across Northeast China have been "very busy."

The "pieced-together" cultural and tourism bureau chief is a microcosm of the transformation in the work style of cadres in Northeast China.

In recent years, various regions in Northeast China have been continuously purifying the political ecosystem, focusing on ideological education, positive incentives, and disciplinary constraints to collectively drive the initiative of "acting promptly once a decision is made, and doing as much as possible" to become a voluntary behavior among officials.

Changchun organizes the annual selection of "Outstanding Officials Who Take Responsibility and Act" to provide timely rewards and public commendation, with priority given to promotion under equal conditions; Dalian has issued the "Positive and Negative List for Interactions between Party and Government Leaders and Private Sector Individuals."

Various regions in Inner Mongolia are strictly implementing policy enforcement projects, using work performance as a key basis for the evaluation, rewards, punishments, and appointments of cadres, promoting a virtuous cycle that emphasizes quality and efficiency in development, encourages proactive action, and prioritizes the implementation of work. In Arxan City, Xing'an League, "agreements that can be discussed today are resolutely not postponed until tomorrow, and decisions that can be made now are immediately finalized." Local leaders take the lead in researching, promoting, and serving projects, addressing issues such as slow decision-making, slow action, and slow results.

Addressing pain points, the business environment is changing.

In [specific month and year], the BMW Group announced an additional investment of 2.9 billion yuan for the large-scale upgrade and technological innovation of the BMW Brilliance Shenyang Dadong Plant. Having been established in Shenyang for many years, the continuously optimized business environment in the region has attracted the BMW Group to persistently increase its investments. Today, one out of every three BMW cars globally is produced in Shenyang.

Heilongjiang is focusing on "efficiently accomplishing one task" to enhance administrative efficiency; Jilin has achieved "province-wide online handling" for high-frequency government service items, and "cross-province handling" for certain government service items; Liaoning is vigorously promoting the construction of a digital government, a trustworthy government, and a law-based government, launching the "Enterprise Service Hotline," making it more convenient for businesses and the public to handle affairs, more conscious of fulfilling commitments, and more robust in protecting rights; Inner Mongolia is building the "Mengsu Ban" integrated online government service platform, providing businesses and the public with clear and accurate guidance for handling affairs...

A continuously optimized business environment is not only a productive force but also a competitive edge.

Stimulate vitality, external expectations are changing.

On the right bank of the Liao River, tower cranes stand tall and welding sparks fly; by the Bohai Sea, vehicles shuttle back and forth and machines roar. During the just-concluded Spring Festival holiday, the construction of the major energy project jointly invested by China and Saudi Arabia—the Huajin Aramco Fine Chemicals and Raw Materials Engineering Project in Panjin City, Liaoning Province—continued without pause.

Capital has the keenest sense of smell, and foreign investment is increasing in Northeast China precisely because of the opportunities and potential it sees. At the same time, both state-owned enterprises and private companies are optimistic about Northeast China, with a large number of high-quality projects being launched one after another. In the past year, Jilin has optimized its structure and expanded investment, implementing major projects each worth over 100 million yuan; Inner Mongolia's investment in major projects has exceeded 100 billion yuan; and Liaoning's fixed asset investment has increased by a percentage point higher than the national average.

The flow of talent not only reflects the economic vitality of a region but also demonstrates confidence in its future development. In one year, Liaoning supported the cultivation of a certain number of high-level talents and teams, with a certain percentage of graduates from provincial universities choosing to stay in Liaoning for employment, and the number of graduates from outside the province coming to Liaoning for employment increased by a certain percentage. In Jilin, the number of university graduates staying in the province exceeded a certain number, with an increase of over a certain number compared to the previous year... A series of figures indicate that the Northeast region is gaining popularity and heat, with full confidence and high expectations from all sides for the comprehensive revitalization of the Northeast.

From securing the "Chinese rice bowl" to optimizing structural adjustments, from deepening the "ecological foundation" to continuously expanding "opening up to the north," the Northeast in the new era firmly grasps the significant mission of safeguarding the nation's "five major securities." Task by task is being advanced, and deployment by deployment is being methodically implemented. The comprehensive revitalization is steadily progressing from "gathering momentum" to "writing a new chapter."
