20 10 is the last year to implement the 11th Five-Year Plan, and it is also the 10th anniversary of China's western development strategy. "The New Ten-year Plan for the Great Development of the Western Region" has also become a hot topic for CPPCC members and NPC deputies. Yesterday (March 10), reporters from the National Business Daily confirmed that the plan has been basically formulated, and it is currently in the approval stage and will be released by the State Council soon. Among them, the preferential tax policy for the development of the western region, which has attracted much attention, will certainly continue and is expected to be extended to 20 years.
At this "two sessions", Liu Yonghao, member of CPPCC and chairman of New Hope (000876 Forum Information) Group, submitted a proposal on continuing to implement the preferential tax policies for the development of the western region. He suggested that the preferential policies should be extended for at least 10 years. Liu Yonghao believes that the per capita income in western China is still at the lowest level in China, and the absolute gap between the east and the west has not narrowed from 2000 to 2009. He believes that the preferential tax policy of income tax 15% in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone has been implemented for nearly 30 years, so he suggests that the western region continue to implement preferential policies and further increase the types and intensity of preferential support.
"The future western development strategy will highlight key areas, cities and industries." The reporter of National Business Daily interviewed an expert who participated in the formulation of the new ten-year plan for western development. The expert said that the tax policy in the western region will definitely last for at least 10 years, and it is expected to be extended to 20 years, and the relevant preferential tax policies will definitely be improved. In addition, the policy of attracting foreign investment in the west will not change much, and the coverage of some preferential tax policies to promote the adjustment of industrial structure in the west will be broadened.
Wang Jinxiang, member of the Standing Committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, former deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and former deputy director of the the State Council Western Development Office, revealed that in the future 10 western development, the western region will build a number of characteristic industrial economic zones and implement industrial clusters around agriculture, animal husbandry and mining. Cao Yushu, former deputy director of the State Council Western Development Office, also revealed in an interview with National Business Daily that the new plan will focus on adjusting the resource-dependent development mode, implementing the strategy of local transformation of resources, extending the western resource-based industrial chain and actively cultivating non-resource-based emerging industries.
It is also known that, as a continuation of the first ten-year development plan in the western region, the second ten-year development plan will gradually shift the concept of GDP growth mode to government services on the basis of protecting the environment and developing the economy. At the same time, in the future, we will focus on developing characteristic industries, such as energy and chemical industry, mining and processing of mineral resources, equipment manufacturing, high-tech industries, deep processing of agricultural and livestock products, and tourism.
The approved economic zone is actively planning the next 10 year. Yesterday morning, Zhang Jinghui, secretary of Tianshui Municipal Party Committee and director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, and Li Wenqing, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and mayor, visited the Western Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, asking the Western Development Department to give Tianshui strong support and inclination in terms of industrial layout, project arrangement and capital investment, and at the same time, coordinating relevant state ministries and commissions to relocate Tianshui military and civilian airport, Shiyan-Tianshui, Tianshui-Pingliang Expressway, Tianshui Railway Hub Project, Tianshui-Wudu Railway and other planned major projects to start construction as soon as possible. In addition, the planning of Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone is coming soon, and Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone has begun to take shape. In the future, resources will be integrated according to specific conditions and several new economic zones will be built.
At present, the regional economy is booming, the central and northeastern regions have received unprecedented support from the state, and the overall policy of developing the western region tends to slow down. "Almost every province has approved a regional plan," said Wei, director of the Western Development Research Center of China Academy of Social Sciences. The new 10-year plan for the development of the western region will definitely make a breakthrough.
Wei said: at present, the large-scale development of the western region still faces problems such as low development level, imperfect industrial support and weak infrastructure. He suggested improving the system of state support policies, changing the previous GSP, and implementing targeted and differentiated state support policies for different types of areas such as central cities, resource-rich areas, old industrial bases, poverty-stricken areas and border areas in accordance with the principle of "differentiated treatment and classified guidance" in order to effectively improve the implementation effect of the policies.
He also suggested further opening up the communication channels between the western region and the eastern and central regions, and between the northeast region and neighboring countries, speeding up the construction of western border roads, establishing a number of border free trade zones or special economic zones, and building a new pattern of opening up in the western region. He said that the above suggestions have been reported to the relevant departments and the results will be seen soon.
