Yuchuan and Hubei want to be comparable to Guangdong, Sulu and Zhejiang, what is still missing?
The three provinces with the largest economic aggregate in the inland areas of China are the three provinces of Henan, Sichuan and Hubei provinces. They are ranked fifth, sixth, and seventh respectively in the country. Before the three provinces of Henan, Sichuan and Hubei were the most famous provinces in China, which have continued the pattern for 26 years, Guangdong, Sulu and Zhejiang. If Yuchuan and Hubei want to go further in the economy, then Guangdong, Suzhou, Lu and Zhejiang must be the main target. But in terms of today's economic aggregate, not to mention that it is compared with the head of Guangdong and Suzhou, there is still a big gap between Zhejiang, Henan, Sichuan and Hubei provinces!Today, Henan's total economic output is only 79% of Zhejiang's, Sichuan's is only 73% of Zhejiang's, and Hubei's is only 69% of Zhejiang'sSo the question is, what is the difference between the three provinces of Henan, Sichuan and Hubei compared with Guangdong, Sulu and Zhejiang?
First of all, it is the geographical location, Guangdong, Suzhou, Lu and Zhejiang are all in the southeast coast of China, and Henan, Sichuan and Hubei are located inland. In today's era of industrial economy, where water transport is king, the cost of manufacturing and transportation in inland areas must be much higher than that of coastal areasEven if there are great improvements in railways, roads and other modes of transportation in inland areas today, I am far from replacing the advantages of sea transportation!Of course, this is the commonality of the gap between the three provinces of Henan, Sichuan and Hubei and Guangdong, Sulu and Zhejiang!
And then in terms of personality gap, Yuchuan and Hubei are still different!For Henan, it is a lack of water, for Sichuan, it is a lack of location, and for Hubei, it is a lack of people!Why?Let's move on!
With a population of nearly 100 million, Henan is the third most populous province in China. Therefore, Henan is good in terms of demographic conditions for economic development. But Henan lacks big rivers. Although Henan has the Yellow River, Huai River and other big rivers. However, the Yellow River is difficult to navigate, the Huai River has limited capacity, and the conditions for inland waterway shipping such as Henan are actually not good. Although Henan is the heart of the domestic railway, there is the king of land transportation, but it is difficult to make up for the disadvantage of Henan without water transportation. In addition, Henan's grain output ranks second in China and is a famous granary in China. There is a strict red line of cultivated land, so it is difficult for Henan to lay out large industries, resulting in low quality of economic development
For Sichuan, Sichuan is located in the southwest corner and within the basin. Sichuan has relatively good climatic conditions, with a population base of more than 80 million, and it is also a veritable province with a large population in China. The Yangtze River shipping can also be directly navigated to Sichuan, but the capacity is not very large!Sichuan is deep inland, far away from the coast, such a geographical location for Sichuan's economic development is extremely restrictive!Therefore, the disadvantage of geographical location is the biggest shortcoming of Sichuan's development.
For Hubei, it can be said that Hubei is the province with the best development conditions in the inland area except for the coastal provinces!Hubei has thousands of kilometers of Yangtze River shipping, although it is not as good as the shipping in the coastal areas, but it is also able to run 10,000 tons of ships!Hubei is also the largest water and land transportation hub in the central and western regionsAs a result, Wuhan has developed into the largest city in the central region, and the quality of economic development in Hubei is also the highest in the central and western regions. But Hubei's shortcomings are also very obvious, to put it bluntly, there is a shortage of people. Hubei has a population of less than 60 million. But if Hubei can have the same total population as Shandong and Henan, then Hubei must pass through Shandong and Zhejiang, second only to Guangdong and Jiangsu as the third province in the domestic economy!Therefore, the lack of people is the biggest regret of Hubei's economic development!
Therefore, on the whole, Henan is short of water, Sichuan is not in good location, and Hubei is short of people, which is the fundamental reason why it is difficult for Henan, Sichuan and Hubei to catch up with and surpass Guangdong, Suzhou, Lu and Zhejiang!
