Abstract

Since the beginning of the 21st century, guided by the principles established during the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Zhejiang, a province which has gradually gained prominence since reform and opening-up, has stayed ahead by carrying out the “Eight-Eight Strategies” and pragmatic work, thus making a series of brilliant achievements and bringing about Zhejiang’s experience—which has been widely recognized at home and abroad and has actively been drawn upon in the rest of the country—which is mainly characterized by and basically covers a people-oriented diversified economy, an inclusive and orderly society, cultural self-improvement and innovation, well-functioning services from the government, a strong and vigorous building up of the Party (See Liu Yingqiu et al. in Zhejiang Experience and Its Implication for the Development of China, Social Sciences Academic Press, pp. 1–35, 2007), as well as yielding the first batch of fruitful results at the provincial level with respect to the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
