During his research in Shandong, Li Qiang emphasized the importance of strengthening and optimizing the real economy, focusing on expanding domestic demand, stabilizing external demand, and promoting sustained economic recovery and improvement

5月17日至18日，中共中央政治局常委、国务院总理李强在山东调研。他强调，要深入贯彻落实以习近平同志为核心的党中央对做好当前经济工作的决策部署，加快建设以实体经济为支撑的现代化产业体系，采取更有针对性措施扩内需稳外需，努力推动经济运行持续回升向好。

In Weifang, Li Qiang visited GoerTek Group and Weichai Group, went into workshops and laboratories, inspected products and components, listened to company introductions, affirmed the company's deep cultivation of its main business and continuous innovation, and encouraged them to focus on making products better and technology stronger. He emphasized that the real economy is the lifeline of China's economy. We must vigorously develop advanced manufacturing clusters, coordinate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the cultivation and growth of strategic emerging industries, and promote industries to move towards the mid to high end. Li Qiang came to Jinbao Automobile City and walked into the sales stores to learn about the sales of new energy vehicles and the situation of going to rural areas. He emphasized that the market space for new energy vehicles is vast, and it is necessary to optimize policies that support purchase and use, accelerate the construction of infrastructure such as charging piles, and further unleash the consumption potential of new energy vehicles.

In Qingdao, Li Qiang went to the China Shanghai Cooperation Organization Local Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone to listen to a report on the construction of the demonstration zone. He pointed out that the construction of this demonstration zone is a major strategic decision personally announced by General Secretary Xi Jinping and a major mission entrusted by the Party Central Committee to Shandong Province and Qingdao City. We should strive to build a new platform for international cooperation along the "the Belt and Road", expand cooperation areas, strengthen resource docking, complement each other's advantages, and jointly forge a long board to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. Li Qiang inspected Haier Group and Hisense Group to understand their operational situation, and examined their product and service displays. He hopes that enterprises can better meet the needs of users, carry out personalized customized services, create more competitive products, further explore domestic and foreign markets, and actively promote industrial Internet to better empower SMEs.

During the research, Li Qiang presided over a symposium and listened to speeches from relevant departments, some cities and counties, and enterprise leaders in Shandong Province. He emphasized that the key to promoting sustained economic recovery and improvement is to enhance development confidence, do more deterministic things to hedge various uncertainties, and make every effort to strive for the best results. We must focus on manufacturing, innovation, and integration, promote the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry, and strive to find a new path for high-quality development of the real economy. We should lead and create demand with high-quality supply, create more consumption hotspots, and focus on characteristic and emerging consumption. We should combine the expansion of domestic demand with the improvement of people's livelihoods, and solidly promote the construction of urban and rural infrastructure and public service projects to fill the gaps. We need to accelerate the development of new forms and models of foreign trade, make greater efforts to attract and utilize foreign investment, and find ways to stabilize our international market share. Efforts should be made to prevent and resolve risks in key areas, creating a favorable environment for economic development.

Li Qiang fully affirmed the achievements of Shandong's economic and social development, and hoped that Shandong would take the theme education as a strong driving force, deeply implement the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on Shandong's work, make new progress in promoting high-quality development, and make new contributions to the overall development of the country.

Wu Zhenglong accompanied the research.

During his inspection in Shandong, Li Qiang revealed the concept of "one center, two levers": modernization of the industrial system is a major theme, focusing on both demand driven and manufacturing industries. In response to the phenomenon of barbecue in Zibo, special attention is paid to the consumption of new energy vehicles, and it is proposed that China cannot take the path of financial services as the main industry.

可以预测，实体经济支撑的现代化产业体系建设是三中全会主题，要为长期冷战做准备，为赢得大国竞争主动做准备。

Li Qiang went to a company and talked about enterprises. Entrepreneurs in particular need to learn and understand the spirit of the Premier's speech.
