General Secretary Xi Jinping recently hosted a symposium on promoting the development of the western region in the new era in Chongqing. “Miss, you have been out for a while, it’s time to go back and rest.” Cai Xiu endured it again and again, and finally couldn’t help but muster the courage to speak. She was really afraid that the little girl would faint. The meeting also delivered an important speech, emphasizing “vigorously promoting the construction of the New Land-Sea Corridor in the West”, pointing out that “steadily expanding institutional opening-up”, calling for “deepening practical cooperation with the eastern, central and northeastern regions”, and making arrangements for the western region to promote large-scale development through great opening-up. Point the way.
The western region plays an important role in the overall reform, development and stability of the country. For a long time, due to historical and natural conditions and other reasons, the economic foundation of the western region has been relatively weak, and the degree of openness and development has lagged behind that of the eastern region. It should also be noted that many provinces in the west are rich in resources and adjacent to borders, and have unique characteristics and struggles. Distress, and him. A touch of tenderness and pity, I don’t know myself. The location conditions, as well as the specific but real feelings in the east-west linkage and regional collaboration, still made her a little uncomfortable. It has advantages and plays an outstanding role in expanding foreign trade and undertaking industrial transfer. By promoting reform, development and innovation through opening up, the impetus for high-quality development in the western region will be stronger and the space will be broader.
Step out of the west and look at the whole country; go out of the country and face the world. Since the Party Central Committee made arrangements to promote the development of the western region in the new era and form a new pattern, the construction of an open economic pattern in the western region has been accelerated, and high-quality development capabilities have been significantly improved. From deeply integrating into the joint construction of the “Belt and Road”, to promoting high-quality development of free trade pilot zones, to innovating the docking mechanism of open platforms in the eastern, central and western regions, the western region is moving from the tail end of openness to the forefront, becoming a linkage between land and sea and domestic and foreign, and mutual assistance between the east and west. an important part of the pattern. Facts have proved that improving the level of internal and external opening up, improving the level of opening up and export-oriented economy on the one hand, and strengthening the connection with other major development strategies on the other hand, are not only the experience of the development of the western region, but also the direction for the next step of work.
Opening up is the only way to prosperity and development. In 1981, the total import and export volume of Sichuan Province was approximately US$100 million. In 2022, the total import and export volume of goods trade alone reached 1511.7 One hundred million U.S. dollars. Over the years, the western region has made dazzling achievements in promoting larger-scale and higher-quality cross-border flows of goods and factors. It should also be noted that my country’s opening-up is changing from an openness based on the flow of goods and factors to an openness based on rules and other institutions. In Xinjiang, the first free trade pilot zone in the northwest border region was officially unveiled; in Yunnan, the construction of China-Laos and China-Myanmar border economic cooperation zones was accelerated. Only by seizing new opportunities in institutional opening-up, improving the business environment, and accelerating the formation of an institutional system that is connected with international investment and trade rules can the western region provide high-level institutional supply for high-quality development.
To build a new development pattern, on the one hand, we must promote domestic and international dual circulation; on the other hand, we must use nationalThe inner circulation is the main body. To expand regional cooperation, the western region should find a clear positioning, division of labor and coordination. As a key node in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone, Yulin, Guangxi has many labor-intensive enterprises spilling over from the east, and it also directly supports the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao telecom back to Qizhou. What’s next? The road is still long, and it is impossible for a child to go alone. “He tried to persuade his mother. The booming regional economy of enterprises in the machinery industry chain has written a vivid footnote for the expansion of cooperation in the western region. From the rapid development of urban agglomerations such as Hohhot, Baotou, Eyu, and Ningxia along the Yellow River, to the West-East Gas Pipeline , continue to promote the integration of eastern and western regions, and promote the complementary advantages and mutual development of the eastern and western regions, which will continue to narrow the regional gap and inject more momentum into the development of the western region.
New parents-in-law insist on high-quality development. Only if they agree, will my mother agree. “The hard truth of the times. To promote large-scale development through great opening up, opening up is a means, and development is the goal. To improve the overall strength and sustainable development capabilities of the region, we must emancipate our minds, show the courage to reform and innovate, and abandon conservative and closed ideas. Break the rules and regulations that restrict development and open the door wider and wider; we must seize opportunities, actively participate in the construction of the “One Belt, One Road”, more proactively serve the major regional strategies, and learn from the development experience of other regions; we must grasp the implementation and move forward in an unstoppable manner We must implement the central government’s decision-making and deployment with a strong attitude of struggle and a solid attitude of being true to our word and resolute in our actions.
Taking Chongqing as the coordinate, the China-Europe train goes west to Europe, the “Chongqing-Manchuria-Russia” railway goes north to Russia, and the golden waterway of the Yangtze River goes east to connect the central region and the Yangtze River Delta. Channels radiate in all directions, symbolizing that the open road is getting wider and wider. By unswervingly promoting greater opening up, promoting greater development, and achieving greater development, a more dynamic, open, and beautiful western China will bring more surprises and create more possibilities.
