Since the beginning of 2016, Zhongshan has made great efforts to push forward the completion of the 5 tasks in Supply Side Structural Reform and scored favorable results. 

According to Liang Weihua, Director of Zhongshan’s Reform and Development Bureau, in accordance with the deployment of strengthening weak links in infrastructure made by the central government and Guangdong provincial government, Zhongshan’s core work in the task includes: improve “hard” infrastructure such as transportation, energy, water, and improve “soft’ infrastructure such as culture, education and sanitation. Specifically, over the next 3 years, Zhongshan plans to invest more than 60 billion yuan to accelerate the completion of 15 important infrastructure projects.  

One of the key “weak links strengthening” projects is the construction of East Second Ring, which starts from the north side of the converging point of Zhongshan Port Bridge and Shagang Road under construction, goes through Gangkou, Torch Zone and Nanlang town, and ends in the south side of Bo’ai Seven Road. The Zhongshan government plans to invest 1.58 billion yuan in the 7.5km-long project, which will improve public’s convenience of transportation once completed. 

Zhongshan plans to invest 25.4 billion yuan on 206 “weak links strengthening” projects this year.
