Agreements for 13 projects with a total investment of 50 billion yuan (about US$7.1 billion) in health and other industries have been recently signed at the demonstration zone for China-Japan health industry cooperation in north China's Tianjin municipality.
The China-Japan (Tianjin) Health Industry Development Cooperation Demonstration Zone, which opened on Tuesday, is a good example of innovation in China-Japan cooperation, according to Yang Xu, deputy director of the demonstration zone's commission.
It is one of the six demonstration zones for China-Japan local cooperation approved by the National Development and Reform Commission this April, with the other five in Shanghai, Suzhou, Dalian, Chengdu, and Qingdao.
With the focus on internet plus traditional Chinese medicine, the demonstration zone aims to apply big data, artificial intelligence and other new technologies to industries including high-end medical treatment and rehabilitation, health research, education and training.
