"This layout showcases the government's wisdom and determination in developing high-tech industries," remarked a journalist from a Brazilian news website. In January of this year, the Brazilian federal government announced the initiation of the New Industry Brazil plan, marking a formal step towards industrialization. The journalist believes Hubei's remarkable achievements in high-tech industry development offer valuable lessons and practices to consider when implementing Brazil's new plan.
