BEIJING, Dec. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report by China.org.cn on China's county economy:  Unlocking the “great” economic vitality in “small” counties The Christmas and New Year shopping carnival has arrived again. While, in eastern China's Yiwu, the hustle and bustle already began months ago. As the largest hub for the world's Christmas decorations, Yiwu provides more than 20,000 types of Christmas items for over 100 countries and regions every year. Since mid-summer, international merchants have been flocking there, crowding the shops in Yiwu. Yiwu, as a small county-level city, has shaped its own unique development path based on its own strengths and with the help of policy support. Now, it is home to multiple specialized market clusters with modern logistics campuses. Last year, the city's GDP exceeded 200 billion yuan (about 28 billion USD) for the first time. Yiwu is a microcosm of the many Chinese county-level administrative divisions in the "100-billion-yuan-GDP club." Back in 2013, only nine counties and county-level cities had such a GDP scoresheet. Ten years later, the number has reached 59 according to the latest statistics. Represented by Yiwu and its like, the rapid progress in the county economy has denoted the vitality of China's whole economy. We can start with numbers to back the conclusion up. China now has 2,844 county-level administrative divisions, with their economic output accounting for about 40% of the country's total GDP. While, the 59 counties in the "100-bln-yuan-GDP club" alone have contributed 7.6% of the country's GDP, and more than 10% of the country's output value of industrial enterprises above the designated size. Moreover, the counties and county-level cities are witnessing industrial transition and upgrading. In an automobile production workshop in Feixi County, Anhui Province, the production line churns out a new energy vehicle every 58 seconds; the county is now the hub for over 100 companies along the industrial chain of new energy vehicles. In Shouguang County, which is known as the "vegetable capital" of China, a smart campus measuring more than 23,000 mu (about 3,788 acres) has been built in collaboration with over 40 scientific research institutions. In accelerating industrial innovation and cultivating new industries, the county economy has exemplified new potential for growth. What's more notable is how consumption in counties and county-level cities is bolstering domestic demand. In recent years, an array of tea beverage, dining, and fashion brands have mushroomed in the counties. In 2023, one-third of newly opened cinemas are in counties and county-level cities; coffee consumption is growing even faster than in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou; more than 60% of the 100-bln-yuan-GDP counties enjoy a consumption capacity higher than the national average. Besides, more and more young Chinese are traveling to counties. For example, Anji County in Zhejiang Province has branded its ecological tourism, attracting numerous tourists with its "Sea of Bamboo in China" and Hello Kitty Park; Liuyang in Hunan Province has built its own tourism brand by hosting the China Liuyang International Fireworks Festival. One can say, the county economy is turning into a significant growth driver for domestic demand. In China, "county" is a different concept than that in western countries. Chinese county-level administrative divisions cover primarily and mainly the rural areas. Therefore, what we see as a positive momentum in the county economy, is to a great degree the fruits of China's rural revitalization. Some also believe that it's living proof of China's ever-growing solid economic foundation. The recently convened Central Economic Work Conference proposed to vigorously boost county economies, and placed "expand domestic demand on all fronts" at the top of its agenda. Amid complexities, by growing local specialty industries, strengthening talent pool building, and improving local business environment, even the seemingly smallest counties will unleash gigantic vitality.

ABU DHABI, UAE, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Miral, the leading creator of immersive destinations and experiences in Abu Dhabi, has unveiled its comprehensive Sustainability Strategy across the group, a milestone in Miral's ongoing environmental and social commitment. It outlines Miral's ambitions to become a regional benchmark for sustainable leisure, entertainment, and tourism (LET) experiences by 2030. To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:https://www.multivu.com/miral/9309551-en-sustainability-strategy-advance-responsible-leisure-entertainment-and-tourism Building on years of experience in sustainable business practices, Miral will place a strong emphasis on its responsibility to provide a brighter future for generations to come. The long-term strategy underscores Miral's commitment to positioning its destinations and attractions as regional references for sustainable practices. Commenting on the strategy, Mohamed Abdalla Al Zaabi, Miral's Group CEO, said: "Miral is pursuing a major milestone in its advancement by putting sustainability at the core of everything we do. Our Sustainability Strategy will guide this evolution, ensuring responsible growth and innovation while delivering lasting value for our stakeholders and the community. It also demonstrates our commitment to contributing to the UAE's Net Zero 2050 Strategy to address climate change, while driving sustainable tourism in Abu Dhabi." Miral's Sustainability Strategy is the result of a comprehensive assessment of its current operations and future vision, identifying key areas of focus with ambitious targets and timelines. Set to impact current and upcoming attractions across Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, Miral's commitment to sustainability is driven by three key objectives: Develop the most sustainable LET experiences in the region. Operate LET experiences in the most sustainable way in the region. Position its destinations as the most sustainable in the region. Rooted in the belief that sustainability is a catalyst for positive change, the strategy relies on four pillars: Experiences for a better world: Miral aims to foster cultural enlightenment through attractions like Qasr al Watan and champion nature protection with initiatives like the Yas SeaWorld Research and Rescue Center and create meaningful entertainment experiences that integrate educational elements and foster a deeper understanding of critical social and environmental issues. Decarbonisation and resource management: Miral's pledge to reduce its carbon footprint by 2030 aligns with the UAE's Net Zero by 2050 Strategy. A multi-faceted approach is adopted to improve Miral's carbon efficiency across its assets and minimise its environmental impact, which includes implementing energy efficiency measures across its operations, transitioning to renewable energy sources, exploring carbon offsetting initiatives, and embedding sustainable design principles into all new construction projects. This will also apply to resource management, encompassing comprehensive water conservation strategies and robust waste management programmes that strive for zero waste to landfill. People: This pillar represents a key priority within the strategy, ensuring the well-being of Miral's employees through initiatives that champion diversity and inclusion, Emiratisation, professional development, and a healthy work-life balance. This responsibility extends towards upholding the highest standards for the welfare of construction workers, ensuring fair treatment, safe working conditions, and access to essential resources. Sustainable development: Further to implementing sustainable practices within its operations, Miral's sustainability efforts will expand towards its destinations. These initiatives encompass responsible supply chain management by prioritising sustainable procurement, promoting sustainable tourism practices in collaboration with partners, and creating more sustainable destinations by offering greener mobility options. Miral's commitment to sustainability is already evident in its existing initiatives. These include the installation of the UAE's largest solar rooftop on Warner Bros. World™ Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, minimising its reliance on the UAE's electricity grid and producing up to 64% of the theme park's electricity requirements during optimum periods. Additional panels were recently installed at SeaWorld® Yas Island, Abu Dhabi and Yas Bay in collaboration with Emerge, a joint venture between Masdar and EDF. In addition, the recent collaboration with Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD), the largest environmental regulator in the Middle East, and Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue Center provides an integrated and advanced marine science knowledge hub for marine conservation, research initiatives and marine wildlife rescue efforts in the region. Furthermore, Hilton Abu Dhabi, Yas Island produces drinkable water for its guests from the air humidity, while The WB™ Abu Dhabi will be installing an on-site hydroponic farm to grow fresh fruits and vegetables for its food and beverage outlets. SeaWorld® Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, has reduced single-use plastics across operations, utilising recycled alternatives with the goal of eliminating all single-use plastics in the near future. Miral's Sustainability Strategy reflects its dedication to collaboration, innovation, and transparency as it paves the way for a brighter, more sustainable future for the tourism industry. It marks a major step towards ensuring a more sustainable future for the tourism industry, fully aligned with the UAE's ambition of achieving Net Zero by 2050.
