These proposals involved issues such as the construction of a modern industrial system, supply-side structural reform, innovative development of trade in services, transformation of scientific and technological achievements, legal development, a public cultural service system, educational development, smart city construction, and ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin. 

Many proposals have been incorporated into the Shanxi Provincial Government's decision-making, development planning and departmental work for the province's development.
