The region plays a critical role in China's pursuit of high-quality development and Chinese modernization, and holds great potential in various areas.The Chinese leader's remarks during his visit to Guizhou further underscored the vital importance of the western region in the nation's strategy to strengthen both security and development, while also highlighting its significant potential in fields like advanced manufacturing and high-level openness,Li Chang'an, a professor at the Academy of China Open Economy Studies at the University of International Business and Economics, told the Global Times.The country's vast western region covers 12 provincial-level regions including Guizhou, Chongqing, Gansu, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xizang Autonomous Region and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, according to a Xinhua report.After years of development, Guizhou has evolved into a national big data hub, with increasing investment in new infrastructure such as data centers, Xinhua reported.The province's GDP amounted to 2.266 trillion yuan in 2024, a 5.3 percent increase from 2023, calculated at constant prices."In recent years, China's western region has seen considerable progress in infrastructure, industrial upgrades, and the improvement of people's livelihoods," Hu Qimu, a deputy secretary-general of the digital-real economies integration Forum 50, told the Global Times on Tuesday.The western region has established 9 national-level strategic emerging industry clusters and 13 national-level advanced manufacturing industry clusters.

Emerging industries in Southwest China's Sichuan, including artificial intelligence, biotechnology, drones, and nuclear technology applications, have experienced rapid growth."As an important part of the western region, Guizhou has strengths in both the technology and cultural tourism sectors.

Through its beautiful melody, the choir conveys different stories, emotions and insightful lyrics, Zhong explained.In the past year, the cultural and tourism industry in Guizhou has developed significantly. In 2024 alone, the number of tourists and tourism revenue in the province both saw double-digit growth, data with Guizhou tourism authorities shows.Preserving cultural heritage is crucial for the region's development, as it serves as a driving force for cultivating tourism and other industries, Li Chang'an told the Global Times.
