Northeast China's Liaoning Province has made progress on comprehensive revitalization over the past decade, with a steady increase in overall strength, further promotion of reform and opening-up, and an improved ecological environment, according to a press briefing in the provincial capital of Shenyang on Thursday.

The year 2021 saw record highs for Liaoning's total grain yield and the number of days with good air quality, said Zhang Guoqing, secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.

A number of digital workshops and smart factories have been put into use in the province over the past 10 years, while work on boosting petrochemical and metallurgical industries was advanced, said Zhang.

Liaoning will continue to optimize the innovation ecosystem, strengthen and improve the innovation platform, fully gather innovative talents, and build a regional innovation center with national influence, according to the press briefing.
