China’s top legislator, Wu Bangguo, has urged Tianjin, the port city near to Beijing, to speed up development to become an economic hub in the country’s north.
Wu Bangguo, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, told officials to strive for better financial services and modern, high-end business functions at the Tianjin Binhai New Area, a pilot for many of the country’s new economic and financial policies.
He visited a bonded zone at the area and called for more efforts to build Tianjin into a world logistics and shipping center.
Wu Bangguo had taken a ride on the Beijing-Tianjin express railway, which was on a month-long trial with a designed speed exceeding 300 km per hour, before arriving at Tianjin. He called for faster development of the country’s railway system.
