Strive to hand over a new answer sheet for the construction of provincial sub-central cities
In-depth study and implementation of the Municipal Party Committee's "1376" overall idea series of comments
Pleasant sound. The Sixth Plenary Session of the Eighth Yueyang Municipal Party Committee called for anchoring the beautiful blueprint of "three highs and four new", grasping and adhering to the overall idea of "1376", focusing on promoting high-quality development, and striving to write a new chapter in the "Seven Yueyang" of socialist modernization. "3" is to strengthen the integration into the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the provincial sub-center, and the reform and opening up highland in the inland areas in the beautiful blueprint of anchoring the "three highs and four new", and depict the goal vision and realization path of Yueyang's integration into the new development pattern, expanding opening up, and improving the development level from three different spatial dimensions. Among them, strengthening the awareness of the provincial sub-center is Yueyang's initiative to seize major historical opportunities and shoulder major political responsibilities, and puts forward higher standards and higher requirements for the city's high-quality development, covering all aspects of the overall idea of "1376".
Provincial sub-central cities usually refer to key cities within a province that have a stronger comprehensive strength than surrounding cities, are second only to provincial capitals and have a certain distance from provincial capitals, have unique advantageous resources or industries, and have strong driving capacity for regional economic development. **The general secretary pointed out: "The provinces and autonomous regions in the central and western regions with conditions should consciously cultivate multiple central cities to avoid the disadvantages of 'one city dominating'. More than 10 provinces have proposed to build more than 30 provincial sub-central cities, opening a new chapter in the development of Ganzhou in Jiangxi, Yichang in Hubei, Wuhu in Anhui, Xuzhou in Jiangsu and other cities, fully demonstrating the vigorous vitality and bright prospects of the construction of provincial sub-centers.
In December 2020, the "14th Five-Year Plan" of Hunan Province officially proposed to optimize the formation of a regional economic pattern of "one core, two subordinates, three belts and four districts", and build Yueyang and Hengyang, two provincial sub-central cities; In November 2021, the 12th Provincial Party Congress once again made it clear that "accelerate the development of sub-central cities in Yueyang and Hengyang provinces". Listing Yueyang as one of the two deputies in the province has raised Yueyang's role and mission in the overall situation of the province in the new era to an unprecedented height. After more than three years of implementation, the construction of a provincial sub-central city has spread all over the land of Baling and entered thousands of households, becoming the common will and pursuit of the whole city. The plenum emphasized that strengthening the awareness of provincial sub-centers is to further strengthen the awareness of benchmarking, based on the new stage of development, practice the new concept of development, build a new pattern of development, transform the party's innovative theory into practical power, and comprehensively accelerate high-quality development; further strengthen the awareness of the overall situation, insist on placing the development of Yueyang in the overall coordinates of the whole country and the province, actively integrate into the national development strategy, take the lead and be a pioneer in the high-quality development of the province, and strive to add color to the overall situation with the light of one domain; Strengthen the sense of the center, strive to achieve the concept of "one step ahead", "one shot faster", and "one strong person" in strength, continuously enhance the city's strength and radiation driving force, and build the provincial sub-central city step by step to become stronger, better and more beautiful!
It is no accident that Yueyang is a provincial sub-central city, but reflects the organic unity of the current and the long-term, the overall situation and a region, and opportunities and responsibilities. In terms of location, Yueyang is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and is the only riverside port city in Hunan that connects the river to the sea. In terms of platforms, it exclusively enjoys 9 national-level open platforms of "three districts, one port and five ports", and has "golden signboards" such as the green development demonstration zone of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, a national regional central city, and a national port-type logistics hub city, with policy empowerment and opportunity convergence; In terms of strength, Yueyang's comprehensive strength ranks second in the province, especially with the completion and operation of the two provincial projects of 1 million tons of ethylene and caprolactam, the "1 3 X" modern industrial system will become bigger and stronger, and build a solid "four beams and eight pillars" for the provincial sub-central city. Yueyang's high-quality development has a solid foundation, abundant momentum and broad prospects, and the time has come to build a provincial sub-central city. We must further improve our position, accurately position, strive for the advanced position, draw a blueprint to the end, and constantly push forward the construction of provincial sub-central cities, and never disappoint the trust of the provincial party committee and the expectations of the people.
The provincial sub-central city is not built easily by beating gongs and drums, and only by making long-term hard work can we truly turn advantages into victories and positions into status. Compared with the target requirements of the provincial sub-central city, there are still many gaps in Yueyang, such as the lack of comparative advantages in terms of total amount, increment, quality, average volume, variables, etc., GDP accounts for less than 10% of the province, per capita financial resources are lower than the provincial average, major projects are few, emerging industries are not strong, etc., the status of "sub-center" is not so convincing. As the external environment becomes more complex, severe and uncertain, and various risks and hidden dangers are intertwined and superimposed, Yueyang's high-quality development is facing huge challenges, but the benefits of overlapping opportunities have not changed, the trend of leapfrogging development has not changed, and the atmosphere of people's hearts and minds has not changed. Time and momentum are in me, and danger and opportunity coexist. Yueyang's development is not advanced is backward, not upstream is downstream, there is a crisis if you do not seize the opportunity, only by persevering to overcome difficulties and forge ahead, can we stand at the forefront of the new round of development in the province, strive to be the first, and make the provincial sub-central city more worthy of the name and deserved!
If dreams are to blossom and take root, they must rely on the strong support of reality. The journey is long, but there is only struggle. Strengthen the awareness of the provincial sub-center, have the boldness, bear in mind the "great plan of the country", "the great plan of the province" and "the major event of the city", based on Yueyang, look at the whole country and go to the world, effectively strengthen forward-looking thinking, overall planning and overall promotion, comprehensively improve the city's industrial level, innovation level, integration level, talent level and service level, and accelerate Yueyang to become an important growth pole for Hunan's high-quality development. We must have a big responsibility, a mission on our shoulders, challenge the present, be discouraged and timid, do nothing and have no future, and we must dare to "eat crabs", "wade into dangerous beaches" and "overcome difficulties", dare to be the first in the world, do it to the extreme, do it first-class, forge ahead, strive to be the first to create excellence, strive to achieve a higher starting point, higher level, and higher efficiency of high-quality development, and make more contributions to the overall development of the province. It is necessary to make big efforts to speed up the construction of a modern port system led by Chenglingji Port, give full play to the platform function of "three districts, one port and five ports", expand opening up, go to the sea, and build a "bridgehead" for Hunan to integrate into the Yangtze River Economic Belt; Improve the comprehensive three-dimensional transportation of "hot metal and open air", gather the flow of talents, capital, technology, information and materials, and build an important transportation and logistics hub in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River; Coordinate and plan the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, the cultivation and growth of emerging industries and the forward-looking layout of future industries, accelerate the construction of a "1 3 x" modern industrial system, and build a trillion modern petrochemical new material industrial cluster; Overcome difficulties and grasp reforms, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, protect people's livelihood, accelerate the realization of high-quality development, high-quality life, and efficient governance, so that the people can share the dividends of provincial sub-central cities, and build a happy city with people's satisfaction. We must have great feelings, resolutely overcome the inertial thinking of emphasizing performance over potential, emphasizing the current and ignoring the long-term, unwavering, unremitting, not tossing, with the realm of "success does not have to be in me", and the pursuit of "meritorious service must have me" one after another, hammer after hammer, hard work, courage, and accelerate the transformation of the beautiful vision of the provincial sub-central city into a rising scene and a realistic picture!
History will only favor those who are determined, those who forge ahead, and those who fight. Let us anchor the beautiful blueprint of "three highs and four new", effectively unify our thoughts and actions to the overall idea of "1376", think in one place, make efforts in one place, sweat in one place, and strive to hand over a new answer sheet for the construction of provincial sub-central cities!
