BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): With Wuhan being a national logistics, industry, innovation and education centre, and a key part of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the lifting of the lockdown on the city on Wednesday (April 8) should bolster confidence that the country's logistics and industrial networks can now get going again; which endows the city's re-emergence after its enforced isolation from the nation with a significance far beyond its own inhabitants' sense of relief.
Although the city had already fired up its engines before Wednesday, the removal of the cordon sanitaire that had isolated it from the rest of the nation means the eighth-largest city economy in the country can re-assume its position on China's economic map.
