Liu Xiaobo requires strict implementation of the leadership responsibility system to effectively solve prominent problems in project construction. Project owners and construction units should seize the golden period of construction in the second quarter and implement high-quality requirements throughout all stages and processes of project construction. All relevant departments and units should make every effort to improve the supporting of project elements and speed up the process of formalities. The key element guarantee unit and all project construction units should use the joint review and approval mechanism to connect with provincial and municipal relevant departments in a high-frequency and efficient manner to ensure the early commencement and construction of the project. We need to optimize the business environment, increase competition for funds and projects, attract investment, and ensure that major breakthroughs are achieved in terms of total volume goals, structural goals, efficiency goals, and key goals.
