Northeast China's Jilin province has been promoting its high-quality development strategy and it has successfully adopted a comprehensive range of measures to tackle bottlenecks in its development over the past five years, according to the provincial government work report.

During that time, Jilin has fully implemented a high-quality development strategy called the "one main and six double".
