Cordial care of state leaders

On July 4, 2009, Premier Wen Jiabao inspected the east lake vinegar garden. In the pavilion of the factory area of Shanxi old mature vinegar group, Wen Jiabao and the workers of the vinegar factory sat around, together with them to feel the pulse for the upgrading of Shanxi's industrial structure.

Wen Jiabao knows Shanxi industry very well. He said that there are three major types of industries in Shanxi: one is the pillar industry dominated by coal, coke, metallurgy and electricity, the other is the traditional processing industry such as old mature vinegar, and the third is the emerging industry such as high-tech industry.

Wen Jiabao told the people present that the first type of pillar industries should integrate high and new technology and information technology into them, so that their scientific and technological content is higher, their products are safe and reliable, and they have higher quality and efficiency; the second type of traditional processing industries can also integrate new technologies to achieve large-scale production, while maintaining traditional culture. Emerging industries include new materials, new energy, energy conservation and environmental protection technologies.

In particular, he pointed out that safety and quality must be put first in the traditional food industries in Shanxi, such as Donghu old vinegar, Xinghua village Fen Liquor and Zhuyeqing. If an enterprise wants to be sustainable and can stand up, it has to be honest and of good quality. It depends on its real ability to enter the market.
