Beijing, December 16 (Xinhua) — China intends to promote high-quality development of its maritime economy by strengthening comprehensive economic planning in its major bays. This was announced on Tuesday by Shen Jun, head of the Department of Marine Strategic Planning and Marine Economy at the Ministry of Natural Resources.
The country's coastline stretches for more than 18,000 km and is dotted with hundreds of bays, including the Bohai Gulf, Hangzhou Bay, and Beibu Bay.
"These areas serve as important hubs of intense coastal economic activity, repositories of rich marine culture, and spaces of significant ecological value," Shen Jun told Xinhua in an exclusive interview.
She noted that China, by promoting coordinated development of land and sea, integrated planning and high-level design, is striving to create a new model of high-quality growth of the marine economy.
The maritime sector has become a vital pillar of national economic growth. In the first three quarters of this year, China's gross marine product reached 7.9 trillion yuan (approximately 1.12 trillion US dollars), 5.6 percent more than in the same period last year.
Shen Jun added that China intends to accelerate breakthroughs in core marine technologies, cultivate and strengthen emerging strategic industries such as seawater desalination and marine biomedicine, and step up efforts to prevent marine disasters and protect the marine environment. –0–
