His comments leaked to reporters. Wang Jiangping said “Last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology planned the “Zhengxin Zhuhun” project under the leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council." He added "The state will give strong policy and funding support, because industries such as microchips and software need to be iteratively developed.” Wang Jiangping also said “[We] spoke very little to the outside world [about the program].” Wang Jiangping's remarks were soon removed from the Chinese internet.
