Investigation of economic and social development in Yichang and Jingzhou.

From June 6 to 8, a visit was made to Yichang and Jingzhou to inspect economic and social development.

In Yichang, the first stop was the Three Gorges Water Control Project, where the reservoir storage, ship lock navigation, and left-bank power station operations were observed, along with a briefing on the project’s construction and operation. It was emphasized that important speeches and directives on the Three Gorges Project must be thoroughly studied and implemented, ensuring safe operation, coordinating flood control, power generation, navigation, and comprehensive water resource utilization to maximize the project’s benefits. Next, the Gezhouba Water Control Project was visited, where the ship lock navigation was observed, and the “Three Gorges Hydrogen Boat 1” was boarded to learn about the development and application of green ships on the Yangtze River. Emphasis was placed on carefully organizing the Gezhouba navigation expansion project to further unleash the shipping potential of the golden waterway, actively cultivating and expanding the green and intelligent ship industry to better support the protection of the Yangtze River and high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. At the Xingfa Group riverside dock, the shoreline remediation along the Yangtze River was inspected, and the group’s smart management center was visited to view the enterprise’s intelligent environmental management platform and technological innovation achievements. The company was encouraged to continue increasing technological innovation efforts to promote the green transformation of the phosphorus chemical industry. At Angel Yeast Group, the yeast science museum and microbial fermentation laboratory were visited, and a briefing on the company’s R&D innovation and production operations was heard. The hope was expressed that the company would strengthen quality control, further enhance product competitiveness, and continuously cultivate new advantages in the bio-manufacturing industry.

In Jingzhou, the “Lighthouse Factory” of Midea Refrigeration Co., Ltd. in Hubei was visited, where the company’s intelligent products and smart manufacturing production lines were observed, along with detailed information on product performance, market sales, and the implementation of the trade-in policy for consumer goods. The company was encouraged to fully leverage its industry-leading advantages, launch more products that meet market demand, and lead the home appliance industry toward high-end, intelligent, and green development. At Feilihua Quartz Glass Co., Ltd., the application of high-end quartz materials in semiconductor manufacturing, high-end optics, and the optoelectronic information industry was detailed. The hope was expressed that the company would focus on key basic materials, persistently tackle challenges, overcome more “bottleneck” technologies, and help the industrial chain achieve independent control and collaborative innovation. At the Guanyinji of the Jingjiang Levee, combined with a schematic diagram of the lake-river relationship in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the flood control situation and system of the Jingjiang River were introduced, historical water mark stone carvings at Guanyinji were inspected, and the heroic deeds of the “1998 flood resistance” were learned. Emphasis was placed on closely monitoring key flood control areas and weak links, continuously improving disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities, and building a safety barrier; it was also stressed to firmly establish a “one-game” mindset, adhere to systematic and coordinated governance, continuously improve the watershed flood control and disaster reduction system, and fully ensure the safety of rivers.
