Jiangxi Province in easy China is amplifying application scenarios to catalyze low-altitude economy while fostering new pace-setters in pursuing high-quality development by forging new quality productive forces.

Getting on a propeller airplane at Nanhu Airport in Jiangxi's Gongqingcheng City and overlooking the stunning Poyang Lake, the country's largest freshwater lake, is definitely one of the most impressive ways to feel the charm of low-altitude economy in the soon-to-be "city of sky".

Jiangxi is embracing the low-altitude economy with an open and inclusive attitude. In addition to air tour, pilot license training, aerial photography and aerial survey, power line patrol, drone performance and UAV short-distance transport are diversified application scenarios of low-altitude economy in different fields.

As a representative of new quality productive forces, low-altitude economy has become an important direction to foster new drivers.

"The low-altitude economy is a kind of new quality productive forces and an emerging direction of development in Jiangxi Province. I think it will undoubtedly play a significant role in promoting economic development of Jiangxi. As for me, and my friends, we are paying more attention to the low-altitude economy, the low-altitude market," said Feng Lei, a flight cadet.

Gongqingcheng, a young city, has drawn a blueprint for building itself into a "city of sky" with resources and efforts tilted toward the low-altitude economic industries, aiming to realize a industrial scale of 10 billion yuan, or 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, by 2026.

So far, the city has built Jiangxi's first low-altitude economic industrial park with high standards, completed the province's first market-oriented and the first A1-class runway general airport around Poyang Lake, accelerating the formation of industrial cluster effects and innovative ecosystems for low-altitude economy.

"Jiangxi is now vigorously constructing general aviation aerodrome. In the future, when the goal of county-to-county air connectivity is achieved, the airplane is not just a tool for entertainment, but a tool for transportation. In the future, when one wants to go back home, they don't need to drive and get stuck in traffic jams. We can achieve point-to-point traffic in the sky. This is the low-altitude economy that lies everywhere around everyone," said Lu Lingyue, chairman of Jiangxi Aero Future General Aviation Company.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Thursday presided over a State Council executive meeting that studied work on building a unified national market and reviewed and approved a plan for the development of a modern emergency response system during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030).

Noting that building a unified national market is essential to advancing high-quality development, the meeting called for deepening institutional frameworks in areas such as property rights protection, market access, fair competition, social credit and market exit mechanisms.

The meeting also urged efforts to advance high-standard connectivity of market infrastructure to facilitate smooth economic circulation and effectively reduce logistics costs across society.

Emergency management is critical to protecting people's lives and property, the meeting said. It called for accelerating the development of a modern emergency response system, deepening reform and innovation in emergency management, and improving coordinated response mechanisms.

Efforts should be made to strengthen risk prevention at the source, enhance monitoring, forecasting and early warning, and accelerate a shift in governance toward proactive prevention, according to the meeting.

A draft revision of the Law on the People's Bank of China was also discussed and approved in principle at the meeting, which decided to submit the draft to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for deliberation.
