A new milestone is quietly being set with the turn of the page in 2023!With Changzhou entering the trillion club, the country's first major province with five trillion cities is about to be born, and this honor will also belong to Jiangsu, which has created history. Suzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi, Nantong, Changzhou, the five trillion cities, each of which is shining.
At present, there are only 24 trillion cities in the country in 2022, and they are like pearls embedded in the land of China, attracting the attention of the whole country and even the world. From Beijing and Shanghai to Shenzhen and Guangzhou, from Suzhou to Dongguan, each trillion-dollar city is the economic engine of its province and even the whole country.
And Jiangsu, which is only 100,000 square kilometers of land, has given birth to five trillion-level cities!This is not only an affirmation of Jiangsu's economic strength, but also a praise for the wisdom and efforts of the people of Jiangsu.
At the same time, it has five trillion cities, and for a province, it is not only a game of numbers, but also a symbol of strength and glory. This means that the economic development of the province has reached an unprecedented height, and all major cities have achieved a qualitative leap in terms of economic aggregate. The rise of this trillion-dollar urban agglomeration is driving the economic wheels of the entire province forward.
So why did Jiangsu become the first province to have five trillion cities?The answer to this question lies in Jiangsu's unique economic development model and strategic planning.
First of all, Jiangsu's regional economic development is relatively balanced, which is an important foundation for it to be able to nurture multiple trillion cities. Unlike some provinces, which rely too much on the economic development of a single city, Jiangsu cities have formed good complementarity and synergy in terms of industrial layout, technological innovation, and talent introduction. This balanced development allows for more efficient allocation of resources, avoids the risks brought about by "one city dominates", and also provides the possibility for more cities to break through the trillion threshold.
Secondly, Jiangsu pays attention to industrial upgrading. In the tide of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, Jiangsu actively seizes the opportunity, vigorously develops high-tech industries and modern service industries, and promotes the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. This forward-looking strategic vision has injected strong vitality and lasting impetus into Jiangsu's urban economy.
In addition, Jiangsu has a profound historical and cultural heritage and a superior geographical location. As an important part of the Yangtze River Delta region, Jiangsu has attracted a large number of talents and capital inflows with its rich educational resources, convenient transportation network and open business environment. These advantageous conditions provide abundant resources and broad market space for Jiangsu's urban development.
Fourth, Jiangsu strives to build an innovative province. Jiangsu attaches great importance to scientific and technological innovation, vigorously implements the innovation-driven development strategy, and accelerates the construction of an innovative province. In recent years, Jiangsu has made a series of important breakthroughs in strategic emerging industries such as new energy, new materials, and biomedicine, providing a strong impetus for the high-quality development of Jiangsu's economy.
Finally, Jiangsu adheres to green development. While pursuing economic development, Jiangsu has always adhered to the concept of green development and vigorously promoted the construction of ecological civilization. Jiangsu has achieved remarkable results in environmental protection, energy conservation and circular economy, laying a solid foundation for sustainable development.
Looking back on the past, Jiangsu's economic development is a magnificent epic full of tension and conflict. From Suzhou's first breakthrough, to Nanjing's and Wuxi's efforts to catch up, and then to Nantong and Changzhou's backwards, the birth of every trillion city is a witness to the hard work and wisdom of the people of Jiangsu.
Looking ahead, Jiangsu will continue to lead the development trend of China's regional economy as the first 5 trillion city province. This economic giant ship, which is jointly built by five trillion cities and 13 CPIC, will break the waves in the turbulent global economic ocean.
