Since this year, Jilin province has made efforts to deal with the negative impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and to effectively promote the remote investment attraction. From January to April, the province utilized US$299 million of foreign investment, an 8% year-on-year increase with 16.4 percentage points higher than the national average, ranking sixth in the country. 
 
After the outbreak, Jilin province took the lead in carrying out online connection, video business meeting and cloud signing nationwide, as well as opened an investment promotion platform of "Jilin provincial online project connection meeting for investment attraction" with 24-hour services provided by specially assigned persons from provincial, municipal, county and development zone levels. Since the beginning of the year, 1134 projects have been discussed and promoted in various regions of the province, including 520 projects connected via online platform, 252 video business meetings and 152 online signing projects.   
 
In the meantime, Jilin province selected 500 key discussion and promotion projects and 500 key planning and packaging projects ("Double-500" Projects), as well as publicized and introduced those projects in various ways such as QR code creation and project manual printing in English, Japanese and Korean, so as to raise the visibility of online project connection meeting. For the projects signed earlier such as EDF of France, Marubeni Corporation of Japan and Samsung of South Korea, Jilin province has insisted on coordinating and organizing at least two video discussion activities of investment attraction projects every month, contrasting three lists of tasks, responsibilities and problems, as well as tracking and solving major problems in the process of project implementation.
