The formal establishment of the development zone is a significant event for the entirety of Li County. For the Li County Committee and County Government, a new deputy director-level unit has been added to their jurisdiction. Even though the positions eligible for deputy director-level status, such as the committee secretary and the director of the management committee, have already been filled. But it's clear to anyone with eyes that the dual roles of Nie Zhenbang and Yan Fengjiao are temporary. Under current circumstances, the development zone is a new concept, and its high importance to the County Committee, County Government, and even the City Party Committee and City Government means that it's inevitable for county leadership to temporarily helm the development zone. Once it stabilizes, these positions will open up.
At this moment, forward-thinking officials in Li County are planning their next moves.
