On August 8, 2013, Vice Governor Gan Rongkun pointed out that Huangshi should continue to vigorously develop an export-oriented economy, expand opening to the outside world, and further increase the degree of opening.

Secretary Zhou Xianwang, Mayor Yang Xiaobo, and others accompanied Gan Rongkun and his entourage to Huangshi Customs, Sanhuan Forging, Dongbei Industrial Park and other field investigations to learn more about Huangshi's opening to the outside world and the production and operation of the enterprise.

"Through research, I deeply feel the good development momentum of Huangshi." Gan Rongkun said that the task of Huangshi's transformation and development is very heavy. Insufficient development and openness are the problems that Huangshi urgently needs to solve. Huangshi should rely on the existing development foundation and development conditions and rely on the advantages of the first-class ports to vigorously develop an export-oriented economy. In particular, it must make breakthroughs in high-end industries and undertake more and heavier tasks for the province to open wider to the outside world. It is necessary to plan and build a public bonded platform as soon as possible to create better conditions for the development of export-oriented enterprises.

Deputy Mayor Ye Zhanping participated in the survey.
