Wucheng County and Dushan County are only a half-hour drive apart, making them true neighbors.
However, Dushan County is not well-located; one might say it's even more remote than Wucheng County, and its economic development lacks momentum.
The paper mill has always been a leading player in the county's economy, but now it's been shut down due to environmental issues, making Dushan County's situation even more difficult.
Therefore, the talk of complementary advantages from Dushan County is just official rhetoric. However, County Magistrate Zhang certainly wouldn't casually pass on Secretary Tian's words without some deeper meaning.
"Secretary Tian is right! Our two counties are so close; indeed, we should strengthen cooperation, complement each other's strengths, and unite to better develop the economy," Lin Hao replied with a smile.
