Xinhua News Agency reporters He Xinrong and Zhou Wentao.
Under the complex and severe economic situation, what contribution can regional economic development make to China's economic recovery?
There is good news from the local two sessions held one after another: the GDP of Changzhou, Jiangsu and Yantai, Shandong will exceed one trillion yuan in 2023, and the "families" of trillion-dollar cities will usher in "new faces". At the same time, some of the original trillion-dollar cities have been upgraded. Chongqing became the first city in the central and western regions to have a GDP of more than 3 trillion yuan, and the GDP of Hangzhou and Wuhan both exceeded 2 trillion yuan.
The expansion of the number of cities with a GDP of one trillion yuan from the original 24 to 26 is not only a digital leap, but also reflects the new vitality ...... of regional coordinated development
Eighteen years ago, Shanghai became the country's first city with a GDP of one trillion yuan. In the past ten years, the number of cities with a GDP of one trillion yuan has been increasing, expanding from the east to the central and western regions.
In China, cities are large and small, with different location advantages and resource endowments. In terms of innovation, we should find unique skills and drive differentiation, so that cities of different sizes can "dance" in style.
Make efforts on the word "enter". "Tonnage" determines "status", and without a certain economic volume, it is difficult to produce radiation and influence. For some provinces and regions, only the "locomotive" is strong enough for the whole train to run faster.
Taking Chongqing, the first city in the central and western regions with a GDP of over 3 trillion yuan, as an example, in 2023, Chongqing will formulate an action plan for the high-quality development of industrial clusters such as a new generation of electronic information manufacturing and advanced materials. Automobile production rose to the second place in the country, the output of new energy vehicles reached 500,000 units, and the output of smartphones is expected to account for 67%。
A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring. "In the coordinated development of the region, some continue to make breakthroughs for the better, and some are stepping up their growth. Tearing down fences and breaking down obstacles, along with the advancement of the regional coordinated development strategy, the economic "cake" is getting bigger and bigger.
Dig the potential in the word "new". Economic development is not a "sprint", but a "long-distance race". Only by constantly optimizing the economic structure and seeking innovation and change can we show our stamina in the long-distance race.
Changzhou and Yantai, which have been newly promoted, have their own "unique skills" in the development of new quality productive forces. Changzhou is home to new energy vehicle companies such as Ideal and BYD, with a vehicle output of 680,000 units in 2023, continuously building a "solid industrial foundation"; Yantai has two national strategic emerging industrial clusters of advanced structural materials and biomedicine, and the conversion of old and new kinetic energy is steadily advancing.
Recently, Fuyao Glass announced that it will invest 57500 million yuan to build an automotive glass project to help the development of Hefei's new energy vehicle industry. As the first city with a GDP of one trillion yuan in Anhui, Hefei has gone from "one of the provincial capitals without a sense of existence" in the past decade to an emerging industrial cluster of "core screen automobile", ranking among the top ten innovative cities in the country.
Work on the word "real". The "new" cities with a GDP of trillions have attracted attention because the total economic volume is not only a number, but also connected to public services, jobs and other matters of concern to the people. The increase in fiscal revenue brought about by economic growth should be used more to improve the level of public services and solve the problems of the people's urgency, hardship and longing.
Hangzhou, whose GDP exceeded 2 trillion yuan for the first time, will introduce nearly 400,000 new college students under the age of 35 in 2023, and the net inflow rate of talents will be among the top in the country for many consecutive years. From the algorithm talents who develop the advanced assisted driving system for automobiles to the "lotus root experts" who drive farmers to jointly build the lotus root industrial park, Wuhan has accelerated the transformation of the advantages of scientific and educational talents into advantages in innovation and development.
Looking at the whole country, after Changzhou and Yantai, Xuzhou in Jiangsu, Tangshan in Hebei, Dalian in Liaoning and Wenzhou in Zhejiang are on the way to sprint to trillion-dollar GDP cities. The new momentum of regional development will surely inject new vitality into China's economy.
