Yesterday

Wushen Banner has delivered an impressive performance over the past five years, marked by the completion of the world's largest single-site olefin production base, a pioneering breakthrough in Inner Mongolia's large-tow carbon fiber sector, and a 22nd consecutive year of stable grain harvests at 530 million jin. The regional brand value of Ordos fine-wool sheep has climbed to 9.504 billion yuan, while tourism revenue has surged past 3.8 billion yuan. These achievements collectively paint a vivid picture of the banner's dedicated pursuit of high-quality development since 2020.

Anchoring its strategy on industrial strength and pragmatic governance, Wushen Banner has coordinated advancements across industrial upgrading, agricultural and livestock efficiency, and modern service sector expansion. This comprehensive approach has propelled the banner into the ranks of the nation's top 100 counties, accelerating its transformation from a resource-rich region into an economic powerhouse.

Major projects have laid a robust foundation, fortifying the industrial backbone of the region. Over the past five years, the banner has implemented 144 key projects with government investments exceeding 50 million yuan each and corporate investments surpassing 100 million yuan each, with cumulative investment reaching approximately 92.4 billion yuan. Industrial, infrastructure, and livelihood projects have advanced in tandem, creating a robust framework that underpins the local economy.

The 48.4 billion yuan Inner Mongolia Baofeng 3-million-ton coal-based new materials project has been completed and operationalized, establishing the world's largest single-site olefin production hub. Additionally, the first phase of the Xinjinshan 30,000-ton carbon fiber project has commenced production, filling a critical gap in Inner Mongolia's large-tow carbon fiber capabilities. The 450 million yuan Ordos Modern Coal Chemical Innovation Pilot Base has also been launched as the region's first national-level pilot platform in the chemical sector, connecting research, pilot testing, and industrial application. The 59 billion yuan Huineng Zhuozheng new materials project is progressing steadily, revitalizing idle assets and reshaping the industrial landscape. The 5.762 billion yuan China Coal Northwest Energy 2×660 MW coal-power integration project is accelerating, with its indirect cooling tower recently topped out. Numerous other significant initiatives, including the Shenghua Shidai 600,000-ton high-end energy storage lithium iron phosphate precursor project, are being planned or developed to reinforce and extend the coal chemical industry chain. Public amenities such as the library, museum, and Wushen Banner Senior High School have also been completed, enriching the social service system.

Green transformation has charted a new course, cementing the economy's stabilizing cornerstone. Wushen Banner has steadfastly pursued a green, new-style industrialization path, enabling the industrial economy to advance through transformation and innovation. Traditional energy sectors have been reinforced, with all six operational coal mines now utilizing intelligent mining technologies. The Baijia Haizi and Taohutu coal mines are on track to begin production soon. The natural gas sector continues to deliver stable growth, with the Sulige gas field in the Wushen Banner area maintaining annual output at 17 billion cubic meters, distributed through the national pipeline network to regions nationwide, securing gas supplies for millions of households. Leveraging its wind and solar resources, the banner is exploring an innovative "wind-solar + coal chemical" coupling model, with major projects like Baofeng's source-grid-load-storage system and Zhongtian Hechuang's wind-solar hydrogen production advancing rapidly. A total of 42 new energy projects have been approved, with a combined installed capacity of 7.7669 million kilowatts. Initiatives such as the Zhongtian Hechuang green carbon reduction upgrade, China Coal E'energizing's 100,000-ton "liquid sunshine" green methanol demonstration project, and Inner Mongolia Baofeng's wind-solar hydrogen project are underway, driving the transition from "gray hydrogen" to "green hydrogen."

Distinctive agriculture and animal husbandry are undergoing upgrades, painting a vibrant rural revitalization landscape. Wushen Banner has maintained a firm grip on food security, reinforcing the agricultural foundation and strengthening specialized livestock industries. By advancing the shift toward scaled, standardized, branded, and industrialized operations, the banner has cultivated a modern agricultural framework that integrates planting and breeding, production and sales, and ecological priorities. Crop cultivation spans 865,000 mu, including 666,000 mu of grain crops, with annual output stable at 530 million jin, marking a 22nd consecutive year of grain growth. High-standard farmland now totals 209,600 mu, with water-efficient irrigation covering 98% of cultivated areas, and comprehensive mechanization for plowing, planting, and harvesting reaching 90.87%.

Capitalizing on local resource strengths, the banner has developed a comprehensive system for improved breeding, technology dissemination, and quality control. The Ordos fine-wool sheep, high-end beef cattle, and pig industries have grown steadily, supported by innovative models such as "household breeding, enterprise fattening" and "hog futures + insurance." The Ordos fine-wool sheep brand value has risen to 9.504 billion yuan, with total livestock inventory at 2.033 million head, and meat and dairy output consistently increasing. Modern agricultural industrial alliances have streamlined farmer-beneficiary connections, generating cumulative savings of 70.7962 million yuan for members and distributing 213 million yuan in dividends in 2025 across 2,105 households. Efforts to build cold-chain logistics and deep-processing bases are advancing, alongside the development of a comprehensive corn industry park, establishing a closed loop from production and processing to storage and sales. The banner has also prioritized brand development, crafting distinctive IPs like "Milk Skin Town" and "Fine Wool Skewers" to boost brand recognition, awareness, and market competitiveness, thereby broadening income channels for farmers and herders.

The business environment has been refined to elevate the soft power for growth. Wushen Banner has deepened its "Optimal Wushen" business environment brand, advancing reforms in administrative streamlining. It has established the city's first one-stop service center for private enterprises, offering 171 integrated services and earning recognition as a "Top 100 County for Administrative Efficiency." The banner has implemented "four extremes" measures—ultra-simplified administrative approval, precision-focused market regulation, preferential policy support, and robust legal safeguards—underpinned by over 500 initiatives. Business registration is now completed within two hours, and approval timelines for general social investment projects have been cut by 48%. A joint review and approval mechanism for major projects, coupled with leadership accountability, regular consultations, agency assistance, and flexible acceptance policies, has accelerated project processing at "Wushen speed."

As the journey ahead stretches far and the responsibilities grow heavier, Wushen Banner stands at a new historical starting point. It will continue to drive energy green transformation, cultivate industrial clusters in modern coal chemicals and new materials, strengthen distinctive industries like Ordos fine-wool sheep, high-end beef cattle, and "Huangxiang" pigs, extend industrial chains, and advance rural industrial revitalization. By accelerating the development of new quality productive forces and fostering mutual empowerment between industry and agriculture, the banner is committed to "Green Wushen, Advancing with Innovation," writing a new chapter in its high-quality development story.
