Regarding urban renewal, Li highlighted the necessity of careful planning for drainage networks and maintaining stringent oversight throughout construction to ensure lasting project quality. He encouraged efforts to attract more private investment in the development of infrastructure and public services.
As a leading economically-developed province, Li stated that Shandong should swiftly implement various policy measures and work arrangements to enhance its contribution to the nation's overall development.
