ANBOUND Strategic Research Report: Strategic Planning for the Future of China's Three Northeastern Provinces

by Kung Chan (ANBOUND's founder)

Over the past two decades, there have been attempts to revitalize and reindustrialize China's three northeastern provinces of Liaoning, Heilongjiang, and Jilin to reignite a new wave of large-scale industrial prosperity on their aging industrial foundation. The long-term tracking research and fieldwork conducted by ANBOUND show that the three northeastern provinces can no longer be considered China's industrial engine. Instead, ANBOUND proposes that within China's future territorial and spatial configuration, the region must be redefined within the country's overarching macro framework. In the post-industrial era, it should become one of the nation's most important spaces for land conservation, a base for ecological restoration, and a testing ground for low-density forms of living environment.
