With the goal of building an important node city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, in recent years, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, has implemented the new development concept, adhered to high-quality development, forged ahead to become stronger, and embarked on a new path of ecological priority and green development.
In October 2023, the general secretary of the first class came to Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province and other places for inspection, emphasizing the need to "vigorously develop the port economy, build an important node city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and build a regional logistics hub and business center". The important instructions of the general secretary provide a fundamental basis for Jiujiang and even Jiangxi to amplify their location advantages in the new round of regional competition, integrate into the national strategy, and realize the development of preemptive and dislocated development, and also put forward higher requirements for the overall promotion of high-level protection and high-quality development in all parts of the Yangtze River.
The Yangtze River Economic Belt is related to the overall development of the country. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, from Chongqing in the upstream, Wuhan in the middle, Nanjing in the downstream, and then Nanchang in the middle reaches, the general secretary has presided over 4 symposiums and delivered important speeches around the major regional strategy of the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, leading the way and planning the layout for the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in the new era. Over the past eight years since the implementation of the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, ecological and environmental protection has undergone a turning point, and historic achievements have been made in economic and social development.
Only by laying the background of green development can regional development make great progress. In the long run, promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt fundamentally depends on the high-quality ecological environment of the Yangtze River Basin. It is necessary to start from the life community of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, focus on the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, and protect the Yangtze River. We will unswervingly adhere to the principle of joint efforts to protect and refrain from large-scale development, make greater efforts in high-level protection, guard and control the ecological red line, and work together to promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth. Jiujiang sits on large rivers, lakes and mountains, and has the reputation of "the land of the world's eyebrows", which is not only an important national ecological function area, but also an ecologically sensitive area. As the only city along the Yangtze River in Jiangxi, Jiujiang people have shouldered the responsibility of protecting the Yangtze River. They are soberly aware that they must adhere to the road of ecological priority and green development, do a good job in managing mountains and rivers, and show the dew of the mountains, protect the greatest wealth, the biggest advantage and the largest brand of green ecology, expand the achievements in the protection of the Yangtze River, and forge a new path in promoting the comprehensive green transformation, and strive to build a highland for the construction of ecological civilization, so as to realize that economic construction and ecological construction complement each other.
To promote the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we must practice the new development concept, build a new development pattern, further deepen reform and opening up, and promote transformation and upgrading. It is necessary to persist in taking scientific and technological innovation as the main driving force, and actively open up new fields and new tracks for development. Vigorously promote the modernization of the industrial chain, cultivate and expand the advanced manufacturing industry, accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries and future industries, and promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy. In terms of industrial development, provinces and cities along the Yangtze River should not only show their advantages, but also coordinate development, dislocation development and linkage development, make overall plans for the layout and transfer of industries along the Yangtze River, better connect the domestic and international markets, make good use of two resources, enhance the endogenous power and reliability of the domestic cycle, and enhance the attractiveness and driving force of the international cycle. The exploration and practice of Jiujiang shows that only by putting their own development into the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt can all localities systematically grasp and plan as a whole, rely on the Yangtze River, base themselves on the region, look at the whole country, clarify their positioning, and find the right path, so as to truly transform their location advantages into development advantages, continuously improve the potential and energy level of development, and build a modern industrial system that reflects local characteristics and advantages.
The river flows and the world is wide, and the drum urges the expedition to sail again. At present, the ecological environmental protection and high-quality development of the Yangtze River Basin are in a critical period from quantitative to qualitative change. Provinces and cities along the Yangtze River should be guided by the spirit of the important speech of the general secretary, adhere to continuous efforts and long-term efforts, provide important support for high-quality development with high-level protection, cultivate new momentum for high-quality development with high-level scientific and technological innovation, and form an overall joint force for high-quality development with high-level coordination and linkage, and play the "song of the Yangtze River" in the new era.
