In essence, the Central Plains Economic Zone only borrows the name of the Central Plains, not the Central Plains in the strict sense of historians. At present, the Central Plains Economic Zone includes six Central Plains cities including Anyang, Jiaozuo, Xinxiang, Hebi, Puyang and Jiyuan, and surrounding cities such as Changzhi, Jincheng, Xingtai, Handan, Linqing, Heze and Liaocheng. The formation of the Central Plains Economic Zone is an important support for the development of coastal areas and an important base for the rise of central China. It is another huge economic region jointly established by Zhongyuan 13 city in 1985 after the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin wing. From the establishment of this area to 2005, the total output value has reached 61908.7 billion yuan, more than four times that of 1985. Strong economic development has accelerated the rise of the Central Plains Economic Zone, and will also become a new economic uplift zone after the Bohai Economic Circle, and become the backbone of driving and promoting national development.
The Central Plains Economic Zone is located at the junction of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces. Its unique resource conditions and transportation advantages have laid its strategic position of connecting the east with the west and connecting the south with the north, giving it the characteristics of great attraction and strong radiation. First, the unique location advantage. Located at the junction of economically developed areas and resource-rich areas, it has great growth potential and strong growth momentum, and is a transit point and intersection of economic convection between east, west, north and south. As one of the important energy and raw material bases in China, it plays an important and fundamental role in China's modernization. Its products, labor resources and huge purchasing power market play an important supporting role in the development of the eastern coast; It is located at the intersection of technology gradient and resource gradient in the east and west of China, and plays an important coordinating role in the development of the east and west of China. At the same time, it is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and an old revolutionary base area, which plays an irreplaceable role in the stability of the whole country. The second is profound cultural heritage. It is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. The culture of the Central Plains is extensive and profound, and its cultural background is very profound. This is the hometown of China's first poetry collection, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and the birthplace of Zhouyi. There are national historical and cultural cities such as Handan, Anyang, Liaocheng, Hebi and Xunxian, as well as magnificent Taihang scenery, exquisite artificial Tianhe Red Flag Canal, profound ancient civilization and splendid cultural relics. The third is rich mineral resources. The region is rich in natural resources, forming the main mineral distribution pattern of western coalfields, eastern oilfields and western and northern iron mines, laying a foundation for regional economic development. The Yellow River, Zhanghe River, Weihe River and Fenhe River pass through the territory, and the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project runs through the whole territory. The water resources conditions in North China are relatively good. Suitable climatic conditions and fertile and open North China Plain provide guarantee and convenience for industrial and agricultural development and people's life. Fourth, the industrial base is strong. Relying on abundant resources, the Central Plains Economic Zone has formed a comprehensive and relatively balanced industrial system.
The strategic concept of building the Central Plains Economic Zone is an in-depth practice of implementing the important instructions of the central leading comrades on the scientific development of Henan Province, an important achievement actively explored by the leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government since the reform and opening up, and a continuation, extension, expansion and deepening of the strategy of the rise of the Central Plains. The Central Plains Economic Zone is the carrier and platform for the rise of the Central Plains and the revitalization of Henan. It is also a carrier and platform for exploring a coordinated scientific development path without sacrificing agriculture, food, ecology and environment. It is also a carrier and platform for clearly positioning, integrating advantages and rallying strength. It is also a carrier and platform for Henan to expand its opening up, strengthen exchanges and cooperation, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. The Central Plains Economic Zone exists objectively, and the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone is a historical necessity, which is conducive to the further improvement of the regional economic layout of the country, to the overall coordination of the country to promote the implementation of major development strategies, to the formation of a new economic growth sector in the central region, and to Henan's clear development orientation and play its own advantages in the overall development of the country. It is beneficial for Henan to adhere to the road of coordinated scientific development of agriculture, grain, ecology and environment, follow the law of economic development, especially the law of regional economic development, better implement Scientific Outlook on Development and accelerate the transformation of economic development mode. The Central Plains Economic Zone plays an important role in the overall situation of the country. First, location advantage, second, basic advantage, third, cultural advantage, fourth, population advantage and fifth, grain advantage.
Before 1985, many road sections at the junction of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces belonged to different provinces, and due to different financial conditions and attention, the width and quality of many roads were different, and some of them simply could not match the top and became "dead corners"; Due to the lack of resources and information, Anyang and Handan set up bicycle factories almost at the same time. At that time, the business situation was ideal. With the cruelty of competition between brothers, their heyday was unsustainable, leading to bankruptcy. This economic development model with administrative divisions as the basic boundary and economic structure convergence has various drawbacks, which leads to the comprehensive economic strength of cities in this region has not been significantly improved.
Over the past 24 years, thanks to the cohesion of the Central Plains Economic Zone, the popularity of the Central Plains has merged, and scattered resources and specialties such as coal, iron, oil, cotton, noodles and fruits have gathered into a new driving force for regional development.
(1) Various business activities continue, and regional cooperation is increasingly close.
Around the development of resources in the Central Plains and the promotion of regional economic prosperity, we have carried out multi-form, multi-content, multi-level and multi-channel horizontal cooperation and collaboration. First, hold various types of commodity fairs to promote the circulation of commodities in the region. Anyang Spring Festival Material Distribution Fair, Changzhi Textile Products Fair, Liaocheng Agricultural and Sideline Products Fair, Xingtai Cooperation Project Fair, Handan Food Expo, North Sugar and Liquor Expo, International Building Materials Expo, etc. It has been held continuously with a turnover of more than 30 billion yuan; Second, the association cooperated to produce various materials, adjust surplus and deficiency, and exchange needed goods, amounting to 26 billion yuan; Third, actively exchange more than 4,000 economic and technological cooperation projects; Fourth, strive for loans and loans for construction projects. Strive for the national low-interest horizontal joint loan180,000 yuan, and the loan financing fund is 3.7 billion yuan.
(2) Improve traffic functions and build regional connections.
In view of the traffic problems that affect and hinder the development of regional economic integration, the Central Plains Economic Zone first built a number of broken roads between cities, which initially improved the traffic conditions in the region. Jointly invested in the construction of Guantao-Liaocheng local narrow gauge railway, becoming the first inter-provincial local railway in China. In the name of the Central Plains Economic Zone, it won the support of relevant state ministries and commissions, and completed the Dongming Yellow River Bridge at the junction of Henan and Shandong in 1994, which solved the inconvenience that people on both sides of the strait have no bridges for generations. Expressway construction is changing with each passing day, and now high-speed intercommunication between cities is basically realized. Beijing-Guangzhou line, Beijing-Kowloon line and Han Ji railway pass through the territory; Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway, Qinglan Expressway and Er (Lianhaote)-Guangzhou Expressway crisscross and extend in all directions. Handan Airport and Changzhi Airport have been opened to traffic. At present, the relevant member cities are jointly promoting the construction of the Han (Dan)-Huang (China) railway, the expansion and transformation of the Han-Chang and Han-Ji railways and other major transportation facilities, and the regional traffic pattern has taken shape.
(3) Accelerate the construction of industry cooperation networks and build cooperation platforms.
More than 30 industry cooperation networks have been established in the departments of development and reform, radio and television, tourism, culture, statistics, personnel, education, etc., which has solved the problem that one city, one place and one system can't be done or can't be done well, and has now become the most distinctive and dynamic plate for exchanges and cooperation in the Central Plains Economic Zone. Culture: carry out various forms of cultural exchanges and cooperation, and explore regional folk cultural resources. The Central Plains Folk Art Festival held during May Day every year has become a representative cultural activity in this area. Tourism: integrate the tourism resources in the region and create a "trip to the Central Plains" boutique tourism route. Water conservancy: In 2003, Puyang City, Henan Province and Liaocheng City, Shandong Province cooperated closely to win the support of the state, and successfully implemented the irrigation project of dredging the main stream of Jindi River and diverting the Yellow River into Shandong Province, which solved the problem of regional irrigation and drainage. Environmental protection: In 2005, Handan and Anyang jointly investigated and dealt with some polluting enterprises in the upper reaches of Yuecheng Reservoir, which solved the inter-provincial pollution problem of drinking water sources and ensured the drinking water safety of people in Handan and Anyang. Through these wide-ranging and in-depth cooperation, the complementary advantages and interactive development of member cities have been effectively promoted.
(4) High-level experts pay close attention to and jointly plan cooperation prospects.
Over the years, the Central Plains Economic Zone has gone out of the Central Plains, consulted experts and scholars, consulted friendly economic zones, actively reported to relevant state ministries and commissions and obtained work support, and explored new ways and measures for regional economic work. The Central Committee, the National People's Congress, the working committees of state organs and the leaders of relevant ministries and commissions have long paid attention to and supported the work of the Central Plains Economic Zone, which has effectively promoted regional economic development.
Although the Central Plains Economic Zone is an economic cooperation organization spontaneously established in the border area of four provinces 13 cities, all the member cities have gained great benefits through their past work, and the future cooperation prospects are broad. Guided by Scientific Outlook on Development, guided by the overall strategy of national regional development, and with the theme of cooperation, development and win-win, we will strive to rise as soon as possible, build an important inland economic growth pole and realize comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of regional economy and society while giving play to the role of connecting the east with the west and the advantages of industrial development.
(1) Establish an organization and coordination mechanism and strengthen cooperation.
In order to further promote the economic cooperation in the Central Plains Economic Zone and make it more effective, it is necessary to institutionalize the existing cooperation mechanism and have continuity in time, so as to make regional economic cooperation develop faster. The first is to improve the organization and coordination mechanism at the government level. On the basis of the annual meeting and semi-annual meeting of the Secretary-General of the government, we should also strengthen bilateral and multilateral cooperation and exchanges between the municipal government departments of all members, strengthen regular communication and contact in development and reform, commerce, statistics, culture, transportation and tourism, realize information sharing, learn from each other's strong points and improve together. The second is to establish and improve the coordination mechanism at the folk level. We will vigorously promote non-governmental exchanges and cooperation by establishing a regular exchange system among non-governmental organizations, trade associations and professional organizations. The third is to establish a coordination mechanism at the research level. Experts and scholars from research institutes, universities and research departments in 13 cities have studied and discussed strategic issues related to strengthening exchanges and regional economic integration in member cities in the form of forums, seminars and symposiums.
(two) to create advantages and actively strive for national policy support.
Since the beginning of this year, the state has successively promulgated the Outline of the Reform and Development Plan of the Pearl River Delta, the Development Plan of the Efficient Ecological Economic Zone of the Yellow River Delta, and Several Opinions on Supporting Fujian Province to Accelerate the Construction of the Economic Zone on the West Side of the Taiwan Strait, which fully shows that the vibrant regional economy is becoming a powerful force to boost China's economy. As a regional economic organization established earlier in Central China and even the whole country, the Central Plains Economic Zone should start as soon as possible, organize forces to study specific measures to deal with the historical opportunity of the country's deployment of a new round of regional planning, and create conditions for national policy support. At present, efforts should be made to break the administrative division and regional blockade and establish a unified, open and competitive commodity and factor market in the region; Study the coordination of industrial policy, opening up and investment policy; Study the problems in industrial division of labor and cooperation and inter-provincial merger and reorganization of enterprise groups; Urban agglomeration construction and urbanization in Central Plains Economic Zone: dominating major economic construction projects and enjoying infrastructure construction; Thirteen cities coordinate, * * * and strive for national support policies. At the same time, actively carry out promotion activities to introduce the advantages of the Central Plains Economic Zone, and strive for the country to arrange the Central Plains Economic Zone as an important plate in the economic layout, and strive for the pillar industries at the national level to be dominated by the Central Plains Economic Zone.
(3) Formulate regional preferential policies to enhance the brand of Central Plains.
Because thirteen cities belong to four provinces, the depth of mutual cooperation needs to be further strengthened due to the influence of administrative divisions. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate some regional preferential policies conducive to regional economic cooperation. The first is the regional industrial policy. Use industrial policies to guide regional industrial coordination, rationally allocate resources, avoid redundant construction, and optimize the industrial structure in the region. The second is to formulate investment and financing policies that adapt to economic laws and ensure the sources of funds for regional key infrastructure projects such as transportation, energy and communication. Third, the policy of utilizing foreign capital should refer to international practice, formulate policies and measures that are conducive to international economic organizations and multinational companies to invest in the region, and promote the rapid development of the Central Plains Economic Zone.
(4) Strengthen cooperation and give full play to the overall advantages.
The ultimate goal of regional economic cooperation is to establish a unified, open and smooth market system, form a real sense of logistics, people flow and capital flow, and realize the rational allocation of resources in the region. There is still a certain gap between the Central Plains Economic Zone and this goal, so it is necessary to further deepen regional economic cooperation and expand the scope of cooperation in future work. First, we should strengthen regional overall coordination. Break through the boundaries of administrative divisions, make full use of industry differences and realize complementary advantages. The second is to promote and participate in economic cooperation in the border areas of the four provinces. Make use of the geographical advantages of the border areas of the four provinces, vigorously promote border trade, and establish a number of commodity trading markets, bazaars and regional modern logistics centers in a planned and step-by-step manner. The third is to strengthen the leading role of the government. Pay attention to providing a good investment environment and infrastructure, reduce the obstacles of economic and trade development and enterprise alliance among regions, industries and ownership, and promote the free flow and optimal allocation of resources and production factors between regions. Fourth, strengthen cooperation among enterprises, promote enterprises to carry out various forms of economic and technological cooperation in the region according to the principle of optimal combination of production factors, encourage enterprises to form regional enterprise groups, cultivate regional leading enterprises and build industrial brands in the Central Plains.
The Central Plains Economic Zone has unique location, excellent natural endowment, profound cultural heritage, extensive cooperation and exchanges, close social ties and a good atmosphere for regional cooperation and development, which has comprehensive advantages and great potential for further accelerating integrated development. We will face up to the realistic factors that affect the development of regional cooperation, further implement Scientific Outlook on Development in accordance with the principle of overall planning and coordinated development of regional economy, actively seek the guidance and support of the state and relevant ministries and commissions and provincial governments, actively learn from the advanced experience of brother economic zones, organize and coordinate efficiently, and cooperate closely in various ways to fully promote the sound and rapid economic and social development of the Central Plains Economic Zone.
The construction of Central Plains Economic Zone is of great significance. Judging from the regional pattern of the country, the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone will make the regional development layout of the country more reasonable and comprehensive. The Central Committee of the Democratic National Construction Association fully supports the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone, and the next step will be to upgrade the Central Plains Economic Zone to the national strategic level through further work.
In the process of building the Central Plains Economic Zone, we should first pay special attention to the similarity and complementarity of all parts in the region, give full play to their respective advantages, and at the same time pay attention to their complementarity and mutual integration, so as to promote each other and win development. Secondly, in the process of development, we should pay attention to breaking the shackles and restrictions of administrative divisions on regional economic development. At present, the obvious problem in some economic zones is that the unified market and unified planning in the region cannot be well established. Third, in the process of building the Central Plains Economic Zone, we must proceed from the reality of the region. It is necessary to identify the weak links, identify the advantages and characteristics, accurately locate the development direction of supporting industries, and embark on a feasible road of development with local characteristics. Fourth, we should take the road of innovation. Henan is rich in agricultural products resources, a big cultural province and rich in cultural details. Henan also has many advantages such as labor force, transportation and location. How to give full play to these advantages and embark on a road of innovation and development needs serious study. Judging from the development of China, many places have the problem of insufficient innovation in the process of economic development. In fact, some industries in China now have a good foundation and the strength to become bigger and stronger. We should focus on the future and consider how to develop them and create our own national brands.
Four. Suggestions on Promoting Regional Economic Development
(1) The state should attach importance to the regional economic development of the economic zone.
From the strategic height of China's regional economic development, we should attach great importance to the work of economic zones. In particular, we should pay more attention to and support the economic zones in non-coastal underdeveloped areas and the central and western economic zones that need to be accelerated. Economic zones that have come from development institutions for many years and have obvious effects should be formally named at the national level. At the same time, select feasible areas that can truly form an economic sector, guide development planning in a unified way, define functional orientation, guide dislocation development, joint development and complementary development, and study and implement corresponding supporting development policies.
(B) the formation of high-level economic zones to guide or promote organizations, in order to better break down the barriers of administrative divisions.
The state and relevant ministries and commissions should guide the establishment of a high-level coordination and guidance institution with the participation of relevant leaders and celebrities in the economic zone as soon as possible, make full use of its social work relationship and influence, promote the breaking of administrative divisions, give full play to the advantages of cities, and extensively carry out horizontal economic cooperation to create favorable conditions for the development of the economic zone.
(3) It is suggested that the regional division of the National Development and Reform Commission can give more support to major projects involving regional cooperation and take the lead in coordination in due course. For example, the capacity expansion and reconstruction project of Hanchang-Han Ji Railway involves Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong provinces, and it is difficult to promote it simply by relying on municipal-level joint competition, which requires the National Development and Reform Commission to coordinate with relevant ministries, three provinces and relevant cities. It is suggested that the National Development and Reform Commission give necessary support to such major projects of cross-regional cooperation.
(4) Build a development platform with clear goals and cultivate a central city.
International and national major economic and trade activities should aim at economic zones, especially regional central cities. For example, Handan, located in the "regional central city at the junction of four provinces", is a regional central city with the strongest industrial base, the largest economic aggregate and the most perfect urban functions in the Central Plains Economic Zone. With the key support of the state and relevant ministries and commissions, it will definitely play a better role in radiating and driving the cities in the region. At the same time, the state and relevant ministries and commissions should pay more attention to and co-ordinate major regional projects, especially infrastructure projects, encourage, support and effectively guide the joint declaration and implementation of regional public service projects such as transportation, tourism, energy and information, devote themselves to resource sharing, advocate harmonious competition and win-win cooperation, and avoid vicious competition and redundant construction.
(5) Strengthen regional economic propaganda and enhance economic and social awareness.
National ministries and commissions should actively guide and contact the national media, especially the economic media, strengthen the publicity and reporting of regional economy, publicize the development achievements of various economic zones, study the new situation and new problems of regional economic development more extensively, create an atmosphere of cooperative development, and raise awareness. Actively organize countries and relevant institutions to hold conferences, forums and other seminars and exchange activities related to regional economic development, support all economic zones to hold relevant activities independently in a timely manner, create conditions, seize opportunities and promote cooperation and development.
Dude, you know, give it to me.
