Northeast China's three provinces — Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang — have been driving digital transformation and focusing on critical technology areas in the past several years.

Liaoning province has invested 2 billion yuan ($278 million) in its digital manufacturing efforts. Jilin is working on training technical experts in major industrial companies, while Heilongjiang's digital economy now makes up about 30 percent of its GDP.

The integration of new technology with manufacturing is fueling high-quality development in the region.
