Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 22nd Title: Pathfinder to build a modern economic system — — Changes of the Yangtze River Delta Economic Map under the New Development Concept
Xinhua news agency reporter
People are diligent and spring comes early. The festive flavor of the Spring Festival has not disappeared, and all parts of the Yangtze River Delta have already ushered in the "good start" of the Spring Festival: the market opened, enterprises started, and the assembly line started … … It is also a new year scene worth looking forward to.
On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, one of the most dynamic and innovative regions in China’s economic development map — — The Yangtze River Delta has stepped onto a new stage of implementing new development concepts and building a modern economic system under the national strategy of integrated development. As a pathfinder, the economic map of the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta has also quietly undergone new changes.
Dynamic change
Sharpen a sword every ten years. Headquartered in Hangzhou, Xizi Airlines has entered the field of aviation manufacturing on the basis of manufacturing agricultural machinery accessories, elevators, industrial boilers and shield machines, and has become the supplier of five domestic and foreign aviation giants, such as European Airbus, American Boeing, Canadian Bombardier, AVIC and China Commercial Aircraft.
The aviation industry that was once unattainable for "Made in China", especially for private enterprises, has been laid out all over the Yangtze River Delta. Taking the assembly of C919 aircraft as an opportunity, the aviation industry cluster in the Yangtze River Delta has been formed with Shanghai as the center and Zhenjiang, Jiaxing and Danyang as the support. In addition, the Yangtze River Delta also attracted Boeing’s first overseas factory to land. The Boeing 737 Completion and Delivery Center in Zhoushan delivered its first aircraft at the end of 2018. In addition, with the world’s major ports such as Shanghai, Ningbo and Zhoushan, the Yangtze River Delta region initially has the outstanding characteristics of aviation industry urban agglomerations such as Boeing headquarters Seattle and Airbus headquarters Toulouse.
The Yangtze River Delta is one of the representative regions of "Made in China" and export-oriented economy. Faced with many difficulties such as the global economic slowdown and the active restructuring of the domestic economy, the Yangtze River Delta region, while looking at the world’s frontier industries and looking for new development impetus, has transformed and upgraded traditional industries with informationization and intelligence, and achieved "phoenix nirvana" with "a strong man breaking his wrist" and "changing his cage for a bird".
How thin can the glass be? The answer is 0.12 mm. Ultra-thin glass independently developed and produced in China is off-line in Bengbu, Anhui Province, with high transmittance and good toughness, and will not break when it is bent into a ring. Peng Shou, dean and chief scientist of China National Building Materials Bengbu Glass Industry Design and Research Institute, told reporters that this ultra-thin glass technology has achieved international leadership, which can completely replace imports and lay a good foundation for cutting-edge technology industries such as curved surface display and wearable devices.
In the past 2018, several innovative drugs in Shanghai Zhangjiang "Medicine Valley" made breakthroughs: the first domestic tumor immunotherapy drug PD-1 inhibitor used by Junshi Bio for melanoma treatment was approved for listing; Hutchison Whampoa’s first-class national anti-tumor drug, Furquintinib, was approved for listing; Zaiding Medicine’s Innovative Tumor Targeting Drugs for Maintenance Treatment of Ovarian Cancer Patients … …
A worker and seven manipulators, after six stamping processes and 10 seconds, a track support frame for solar tracking support system of solar power station was produced. This is an intelligent stamping workshop independently developed by Suzhou Baojia New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., which can reduce the production cost for enterprises by about 20%.
In Zhejiang, Zhongce Rubber Group, a tire manufacturing enterprise, introduced Alibaba Cloud’s artificial intelligence ET industrial brain, and matched the optimal rubber synthesis scheme through artificial intelligence, which greatly stabilized the properties of rubber compound, and the average qualified rate increased by 3% to 5%.
From high-tech materials to innovative drugs, from intelligent manufacturing to artificial intelligence brain, the Yangtze River Delta economy has taken the lead in power conversion, injecting a stronger driving force for high-quality development. After years of cultivation, Zhejiang is increasingly becoming a fertile ground for innovation and entrepreneurship in the digital economy, and the contribution rate of Hangzhou digital economy to economic growth exceeds 50%; Jiangsu is accelerating the formation of an entire industrial chain integrating intelligent design, intelligent products, intelligent equipment, intelligent technology and services; Shanghai is looking for the high-end industrial chain and value chain, and is building a global excellent manufacturing base; Anhui’s science and technology manufacturing industry has made full efforts, and its regional innovation capability has ranked first in the country for six consecutive years.
Industrial added value accounts for more than a quarter of the country, robot production capacity accounts for 1/2, information service industry accounts for 1/3, the industrial scale of integrated circuits reaches half of the country, and the market share of new energy vehicles accounts for 1/3 of the country & HELLIP; … In the "report card" of the 2018 annual economic report of the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta, the vigorous growth of new formats, new models and new technologies has become the "new engine" for the integrated development of higher quality in the Yangtze River Delta.
Structural change
“‘ The most beautiful high-speed rail line ’ Let our small county be on fire. " Fang Jianjun, the maker of Meike Aitu B&B in Chun ‘an County, Zhejiang Province, said with joy that during the Spring Festival, the rooms were fully booked by tourists from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui, and the passenger flow brought by the high-speed rail increased by 30% year-on-year. Villagers in Xiaokang Village, Jingxian County, southern Anhui Province also found that holiday tourists increased greatly. "It seems that they suddenly entered ‘ Cosmic center ’ 。”
The Hangzhou-Huangzhou high-speed railway from Hangzhou to Huangshan, which was opened on December 25, 2018, opened a moat separated by mountains and rivers from western Zhejiang to southern Anhui, stringing together many famous mountains and beautiful waters such as West Lake in Hangzhou, Qiandao Lake in Chun ‘an and Huangshan Mountain in Anhui, and quietly promoting the integration of western Zhejiang and southern Anhui into the Yangtze River Delta.
The smooth flow of people and logistics brought by traffic facilitation has further accelerated the flow of resources and capital between the Yangtze River Delta regions. The Shanghai-Kunming Expressway is numbered G60 in the highway network, starting from Songjiang District of Shanghai, passing through Zhejiang and ending in Kunming, Yunnan. In June 2018, eight cities from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui gathered in Shanghai to sign a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly build and share the G60 Science and Technology Corridor. G60 Science and Technology "Corridor" has strung together Shanghai Songjiang, Zhejiang Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Jinhua, Huzhou, Jiangsu Suzhou, Anhui Xuancheng, Wuhu and Hefei, and transformed from a traffic artery into an innovative highland.
Kong Linggang, director of the Institute of Urban and Rural Economics of Anhui Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the development of high-speed rail technology and Internet technology is changing the traditional urban spatial hierarchy in China. If Hefei, Xuancheng and Wuhu in Anhui province belonged to the periphery of the Yangtze River Delta five years ago, now relying on G60 Science and Technology Corridor, these cities have the development opportunity to grow into central cities that gather innovative resources.
From the internal structure, the Yangtze River Delta region is becoming more and more coordinated and balanced not only between provinces, but also between regions, and the gap between urban and rural areas is also narrowing. For example, in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, where the Red Boat set sail, the per capita income ratio of urban and rural residents reached 1.68: 1 in 2018, which continued to shrink by 0.01 compared with the previous year.
In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the strategy of rural revitalization was put forward for the first time, which drew a new blueprint for the coordinated development of urban and rural areas to solve the "three rural issues". All parts of the Yangtze River Delta also brainstormed ideas and frequently made clever moves to find a new path for reshaping the concept of "countryside" in the new era.
The water is clear and the shore is green, and new rural houses with Jiangnan characteristics are built along the river. Grid-based resident police office, health center, village administrative service building, rural e-commerce service center, plastic track basketball court, and classified treatment of domestic garbage & HELIP; … Entering the rural areas of Deqing County, the environmental facilities and public services are not inferior to those of cities.
Jiangsu took the lead in realizing 100% passenger shuttle bus service in administrative villages except island villages in China. The village post station has achieved full coverage of all administrative villages, and more than 10,000 villages have built domestic sewage treatment facilities, and the garbage transfer stations and domestic garbage collection points in established towns have achieved full coverage, making the coordinated development between urban and rural areas further.
Coordination between urban and rural areas is not only to improve the rural living environment, but more importantly, to re-recognize and discover the value of the countryside. In Xianqiao Village, Chongming, an eye-catching rural experience and cultural atmosphere are taking shape, which has become one of the models of "more style and charm, more value and more temperament" in rural construction in Shanghai. Shao Qiliang, Secretary-General of Shanghai Agriculture and Rural Committee, said that he would actively make good use of Shanghai’s vast rural areas and develop urban agriculture. "Take a variety of paths and modes to get out of the road of rural revitalization suitable for local characteristics."
From beautiful highways to beautiful countryside, from industrial prosperity to reshaping rural civilization, from ecological compensation to rural land reform, from "multi-regulation integration" to household registration system reform … … From face to lining, the boundary between cities and villages in the Yangtze River Delta is gradually blurring.
Change of mode
Blue sky or tickets? Clear water or development? It used to be difficult to have both, but now the situation has changed. In Pujiang County, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, which is the "Crystal Capital", the water quality of Dongxi, which runs through the city, is clear, and occasionally wild groupers can be seen. The green park along the line has become a good place for people to walk and exercise.
However, five years ago, there were hundreds of crystal processing factories along the Dongxi River, and the wastewater and waste residue discharged directly into the river caused serious pollution, and the water quality was white and stinky. The people complained about the "Milk River". Pujiang local government and people wake up and can no longer "live in garbage dumps to make money and lie in hospitals to spend money". All unqualified enterprises were shut down, and qualified enterprises moved to the park with unified planning and sewage treatment. It took three years to realize ecological reconstruction and the industry was transformed and upgraded.
In the Yangtze River Delta, the theory of "two mountains" is deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and ecological priority and green development have become a consensus. Even Lishui, located in the Nanshan District of southwest Zhejiang Province, has embarked on the path of "ecological product value realization mechanism", and more leaves have become tickets.
Known as "Xiushan Lishui", Lishui, Zhejiang Province is rich in agricultural products such as Jingning Huiming Tea, Qingyuan Mushrooms and Suichang Jumi, but it has been "unknown in the boudoir" for many years. Drawing lessons from the management and evaluation standards of sustainable agriculture at home and abroad, Lishui has built a public brand of agricultural region "Lishui Mountain Farming", and a large number of agricultural products have gone out of the mountains and gone to the whole country by virtue of "ecological advantages".
"Adhere to the concept of green development and change from increasing production orientation to improving quality orientation." Chen Weidong, deputy director of the Anhui Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that through the five major actions of agricultural green development, such as livestock manure treatment, fruit, vegetable and tea organic fertilizer replacing chemical fertilizer, comprehensive utilization of straw, agricultural waste recycling and aquatic organism protection, the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in Anhui Province has achieved negative growth for three consecutive years, and the agricultural development mode is becoming "green".
Without the support of institutional reform, green development will inevitably become a castle in the air. "Comprehensively start the evaluation of the average benefit per mu of service enterprises, development zones, characteristic towns and small and micro enterprise parks." In 2019, the work report of the Zhejiang provincial government proposed to comprehensively promote the reform of "heroes on average per mu", forcing all localities to change the mode of economic development and embark on the road of green development with higher quality, better efficiency and less pollution. Coincidentally, the concept of "green development" is also reflected in the reports of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui.
In the new year, Shanghai will eliminate another 1000 backward production capacity and reduce inefficient construction land by 15 square kilometers; Jiangsu said that it should comprehensively apply relevant standards such as environmental protection, energy consumption, quality and safety, guide the withdrawal of low-end and inefficient production capacity, withdraw backward production capacity according to laws and regulations, and further reduce excess production capacity in key industries such as steel, cement and flat glass; Anhui will also withdraw 1.65 million tons of coal overcapacity, and promote more industries with overcapacity to speed up clearing.
Yangtze estuary, one, two, three or five … … Known as the "giant panda in the water", the finless porpoise prances in the water. From Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to the waters of Chongming Dongfeng Xisha in the Yangtze River estuary today, experts believe that the finless porpoise’s reappearance at the mouth of the Yangtze River is the result of the total protection of the whole Yangtze River Economic Belt, such as "realizing a total ban on fishing in the aquatic biological reserve in the Yangtze River basin" and "strictly investigating all kinds of illegal fishing".
