Scholars hail Zhejiang's green progress

Foreign experts lauded the progress Zhejiang province has made toward sustainable development during a recent visit to several sites focused on green energy and green industrial production.

"I've been quite interested in Zhejiang since I first came to Hangzhou. It's a very green province… I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic about moving toward green energy and a green future," said Alfred Taylor, a British scholar and second-year doctoral student specializing in space technology at Beihang University.

From Sunday to Wednesday, experts and scholars from over a dozen countries, including the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, Gambia and India, toured Zhejiang. Their itinerary included visits to sites such as a natural gas cogeneration project in Shaoxing, the Joyoung Brand Experience Center, CHINT Group Co and Geely Holding Group in Hangzhou, all of which left a strong impression.
