The Yangtze River Delta is an important engine for China's economic development. In the first half of this year, in the face of severe external challenges, the economic growth rate of the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta exceeded 6%, making an important contribution to the national economy. In addition to the total number, the Yangtze River Delta has emerged with many structural highlights in strengthening the real economy, expanding new economic drivers, and releasing integration dividends, accelerating the construction of a strong and active growth pole. The real economy is the foundation of a country's economy, based on its pursuit of "reality". Since the beginning of this year, facing external storms, the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta have gathered together to focus on manufacturing development and investment in major projects, ensuring that the development "chassis" is always stable. In mid June of this year, the Shenghong Biodegradable Materials (Phase I) project, with a total investment of approximately 6.5 billion yuan, began construction at the Lianyungang Petrochemical Industry Base in Jiangsu, on the coast of the Yellow Sea. It is planned to be completed and put into operation by 2025. The relevant person in charge of Shenghong Holdings Group stated that the company is building a new energy and new materials industry cluster around a series of major projects such as one million tons of biodegradable materials. Liu Jun, Deputy Director of the Major Project Construction Office of the Jiangsu Provincial Development and Reform Commission, said that in the first half of this year, 117 of the 133 provincial-level major projects planned to start construction in Jiangsu have already started construction, with a construction rate of 88%.

The Hangzhou Airport East International Freight Station is a key project in Zhejiang Province and a guarantee project for the Hangzhou Asian Games, with a total investment of 1.489 billion yuan. Compared with the original international cargo station at Hangzhou Airport, the new cargo station has a construction area nearly five times that of the old cargo station, and an annual cargo and mail throughput guarantee capacity of 600000 tons, which can provide high-quality support for the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games.
