Chen Jining Inspects Hongqiao International CBD; SHOWAY Contributes to Building the Hongqiao Brand

On the afternoon of February 20, Chen Jining, Secretary of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee, and Gong Zheng, Deputy Secretary of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee and Mayor of Shanghai, visited the Hongqiao International Central Business District (Hongqiao International CBD) to inspect progress in refining the core area’s planning and enhancing its functions. Chen emphasized the need for a deeper understanding of the strategic significance and development positioning of the Hongqiao International CBD. He called for fully leveraging its distinctive strengths in convention and exhibition, transportation, and commerce. By refining planning to amplify its advantages, and by upgrading functions to strengthen its unique features, the district can better attract corporate headquarters with its business-friendly environment. The ultimate goal is to establish a pioneering zone that supports enterprises in “going global”, and to further elevate Shanghai’s role as a leading force and model in advancing the Chinese path to modernization.
