Urban areas have provided policy support, financial support and technical guidance to entrepreneurs by building entrepreneurial incubation bases, which has driven a large number of employment; rural areas have broadened channels for farmers to increase their income by developing industries such as characteristic agriculture and rural tourism, and achieved an effective connection between poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. These measures not only improve the living standards of the people, but also inject strong impetus into economic development.

This is the fundamental purpose of China to promote reform and opening up and socialist modernization."
