——Hot Q&A——
The objectives and tasks set out in the first round of the Three-Year Action Plan have been successfully completed
Q
Xinhua News Agency: Just mentioned the "Three-year Action Plan for Integrated Development" jointly prepared by three provinces and one city, can you introduce the completion of the first round of action plan and the highlights of the new round of action plan?
A
Ruan Qing (Deputy Director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Executive Deputy Director of the Yangtze River Delta Regional Cooperation Office): In order to implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, at the beginning of 2018, the Yangtze River Delta Office was just established, and the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta jointly prepared and implemented the first round of the "Three-year Action Plan for the Integrated Development of the Yangtze River Delta Region". In the past three years, we have focused on planning docking, strategic coordination, thematic cooperation, market unification, mechanism improvement and other continuous efforts, the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta has shown a comprehensive acceleration of all work, the overall improvement of various tasks, the full participation of all parties, and the cooperation in various fields has achieved obvious progress and pragmatic results.
Last year, the Yangtze River Delta Office organized forces to assess the completion of the Three-Year Action Plan. After assessment, of the 320 tasks identified in the Three-Year Action Plan, 263 have been completed, 55 have been continuously promoted, and 2 have been adjusted due to changes in construction conditions. Overall, the goals and tasks proposed in the first round of the "Three-Year Action Plan" were successfully completed, and the implementation and results of the plan were better than expected, providing strong support for the preparation and implementation of the national "Planning Outline". For example, in the field of informatization, three provinces and one city jointly promote 5G technology in the Yangtze River Delta to achieve the first layout, the first to try to use, in 2018, the three provinces and one municipal government and the three major national operators plus tower companies signed the "5G first trial first use to promote the Yangtze River Delta digital economy to take the lead in the development of strategic cooperation framework agreement", in the past three years related enterprises have invested more than 200 billion yuan. As of the first half of this year, more than 220,000 5G base stations have been built in three provinces and one city, and nearly 1,000 5G innovation and application demonstration projects in key areas such as industrial Internet, Internet of Vehicles, intelligent manufacturing, and smart cities in the Yangtze River Delta. For another example, in the field of financial cooperation, the Shanghai Futures Exchange strategically invested in the Zhejiang International Oil and Gas Trading Center to jointly build the construction of the yangtze river delta integrated oil and gas trading market, the "Zhejiang Oil Center Quotation Zone" has been launched in the previous period, and the natural gas trading sector has been successfully established.
In the second half of last year, the Yangtze River Delta Office and the relevant departments, regions and units of the three provinces and one city jointly prepared a new round of the "Three-Year Action Plan", which was implemented after the three-year plan was deliberated and approved at the Yangtze River Delta Regional Leaders' Forum held in Wuxi in May last year. The text framework of the new three-year action plan is divided into two parts: the main text is divided into twelve chapters, and the work task list of the annexes sorts out 217 specific tasks according to the three categories of major projects, major policies and major matters, of which 21 are key cooperation matters such as building the Yangtze River Delta National Technology Innovation Center and promoting the linkage development of the Yangtze River Delta Pilot Free Trade Zone.
Overall, the new three-year action plan has four characteristics:
The first is to fully embody the implementation of the "great power of the country". The "three missions, seven tasks, and one guarantee" deployed by General Secretary Xi Jinping at the symposium on solidly promoting the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta on August 20 last year has become the fundamental observance of formulating the new three-year action plan, integrated into the guiding ideology, basic principles and key tasks, and promoted in a project-based and list-based manner. At the same time, we have implemented the relevant key tasks specified in the national planning outline, the "14th Five-Year Plan" implementation plan and the 14th Five-Year Plan of each province and municipality that have the conditions for implementation within three years into the new three-year action plan, and promote it in a responsible, project-based and list-based manner.
The second is to fully reflect the demands of all parties. The three-year action plan fully reflects the cooperation demands of all parties in the three provinces and one city, and fully absorbs the opinions and suggestions of all parties. At the same time, the opinions of three provinces and one city have been solicited twice, and a total of 657 feedback opinions have been received, and most of the revision opinions have been adopted.
The third is to fully reflect the characteristics of openness and multi-subject participation. We actively connect with governments at all levels, market entities and social organizations, and fully absorb the important projects and cross-regional cooperation matters proposed by various enterprises and grass-roots governments for the future layout, so that the new three-year action plan can gather consensus and actions from all aspects.
The fourth is to clarify the division of labor among the responsible units. In accordance with the principle of "who has the conditions to take the lead, who innovates first, who does it, and who can do it who is responsible", we clarify the division of responsibilities, implement the main body of responsibility, and implement it item by item. At the same time, we will promote the incorporation of key cooperation matters into the target management system and daily assessment mechanism of the party committee and government, consolidate the work responsibilities of all parties, strengthen the tracking and inspection of progress, and ensure that various measures achieve practical results.
In the next step, we will closely integrate the continuous promotion of the three-year action plan with the organization and implementation of the national "Planning Outline" and the "14th Five-Year Plan" implementation plan, work together with the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui to effectively promote the implementation of various tasks, and work together to promote the integrated development of higher quality in the Yangtze River Delta.

Lu Min (Deputy Director of the Municipal Science and Technology Commission): In recent years, the science and technology departments of the three provinces and one city have focused on strengthening the regional strategic layout of science and technology and the synergy of advantages, and solidly promoted the construction of the Yangtze River Delta Science and Technology Innovation Community. Since 2018, the Yangtze River Delta Collaborative Innovation Index has increased by 22.4%, and great progress has been made in innovation cooperation, resource sharing, and achievement sharing.
The first is to jointly shape the institutional framework of integrated scientific and technological innovation. The "14th Five-Year Plan" of Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Center has set up a special festival to lay out the Shanghai mission of "leading the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta". The Ministry of Science and Technology and the four provinces and cities have formed a 4+1 working mechanism for the Yangtze River Delta Science and Technology Innovation Community Work Class, focusing on joint research, resource sharing, international cooperation, and expert sharing, etc., to deepen the coordination mechanism.
The second is to synergistically enhance the ability of independent innovation, jointly build a national strategic scientific and technological force, promote the "two hearts and co-creation" of the Zhangjiang and Hefei comprehensive national science centers, and start the construction of the Yangtze River Delta National Technology Innovation Center. Actively initiating and undertaking major national science and technology projects, in the national key research and development plan undertaken by the Yangtze River Delta in 2020, the number and amount of projects in the Yangtze River Delta to carry out collaborative research and development account for more than 80%.
Third, the opening and sharing of resources has begun to bear fruit, and the Yangtze River Delta science and technology resource sharing service platform (phase I) has been built, with 22 major scientific devices, 36,959 large-scale scientific instruments (sets), 315 national scientific research bases, and more than 200,000 scientific and technological talents.
In the past three years, the number of cross-regional patent transfers has more than doubled, and the number of paper cooperation has increased by 50%; in 2020, more than 14,000 technology contracts between the three provinces and one city have been exported, and the amount of technology transactions has reached 54.4 billion yuan. Deepen the sharing of technology market element resources in the four places, jointly build an integrated collaboration platform for the technology market in the Yangtze River Delta, and jointly promote industry-university-research cooperation and collaboration between large and small and medium-sized enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region.
Fifth, concentrate on building a pilot zone. Nine cities in the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor in the Yangtze River Delta jointly seek scientific and technological innovation and industrial cooperation, the second phase of the G60 Brain And Wisdom Science and Technology Innovation Base has accelerated construction, more than 1/5 of the listed enterprises on the Science and Technology Innovation Board in nine cities have been listed in the country, and a number of major innovation projects have landed. Relying on the Yangtze River Delta Green Ecological Integration Demonstration Zone, explore the first trial of policies and systems such as general exchange of scientific and technological innovation vouchers and mutual recognition of foreign high-level talents.
In the next stage, we will further give play to the leading role of the Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Center, strengthen the innovation advantages of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, deepen the linkage of institutional policies, resource sharing and sharing, and industrial chain innovation collaboration, etc., and support the high-quality integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
Accelerate the process of transportation integration in the Yangtze River Delta, and continuously improve the level of urbanization and commuting in the Shanghai metropolitan area
Shanghai TV: With the development of regional integration, transportation is very important. What progress has been made in building and improving the regional transportation network in the Yangtze River Delta? What projects will be highlighted in the next step?
Li Junhao (Chief Engineer of the Municipal Transportation Commission): Shanghai has always taken the joint construction of the "Yangtze River Delta on the Track" as the top priority and actively promoted it, with the goal of building a railway network of "five directions and twelve trunk lines", promoting the integration of different levels of rail networks such as high-speed railways, general speed railways, intercity railways, urban (suburban) railways, and urban rail transit, accelerating the process of transportation integration in the Yangtze River Delta, and continuously improving the level of urbanization and commuting in the Shanghai metropolitan area.
National Railways. The Shanghai-Sutong Railway was completed and opened to traffic on July 1, 2020, and since then, Shanghai has formed a "three directions, six lines" external corridor layout and a railway hub system with three main passenger stations. The second phase of the Shanghai-Shanghai-Tongtong Railway (Taicang to Situan section) started construction in December 2019 and will fill the gap of the trunk railway in the eastern part of Shanghai and strengthen the agglomeration and radiation function of other areas in the Yangtze River Delta. The Shanghai-Suzhou Lake Railway, which started construction in June last year, is an important transportation channel connecting the east-west region of the Yangtze River Delta and connecting Shanghai, Suzhou, Huzhou and other Cities in the Yangtze River Delta. In addition, the Shanghai-Yurong Railway, as an important part of the river-along-the-river passage in China's medium- and long-term railway planning "eight vertical and eight horizontal", and the Shanghai-Zha-Hangzhou Railway as a rapid connection between Shanghai and Hangzhou Metropolitan Circle and Ningbo Metropolitan Circle, the preliminary work related to both is advancing in an orderly manner.
In terms of intercity (urban) railways. The airport liaison line and the Jiamin line have started construction, and the connection of the airport liaison line will be conducive to integrating the external transportation resources of the two major hubs, opening up the vein of the rail lines along the line, and accelerating the connection between the city center, Zhangjiang Science City, Disney Tourism Resort and the two comprehensive transportation hubs. The Jiamin Line is an important north-south connection line in the Yangtze River Delta region radiated by the Hongqiao hub.
In addition, combined with the land spatial planning of the integrated demonstration zone, the newly added Shanghai-Sujia Line (Shanghai section is the Shanghai Demonstration Zone Line) will connect the two districts and one county of the demonstration area and the Hongqiao area to achieve dual-core linkage of the demonstration area; the Jinshan-Pinghu Railway will serve as an extension of the Jinshan Railway, serving the connection between Shanghai and the surrounding areas along the north shore of Hangzhou Bay; the northern extension of the Jiamin Line, as the first cross-provincial railway between Shanghai and the Soviet Union, will reshape the time and space distance between Shanghai and Suzhou. All three intercity (urban) rail projects are accelerating their upfront programme studies.
In the next step, we will make every effort to promote the construction of the national railway corridor, jointly explore the network planning system, coordination and promotion mechanism and innovative transportation management mode of regional rail transit, actively carry out research on the use of surplus existing railways that take into account rail transit travel in the metropolitan area, accelerate the construction of a rail transit system with clear functional levels and multi-mode integration, and jointly build a strong and active growth pole in the Yangtze River Delta.
