The historical experience and enlightenment of the party's leadership over the large-scale development of the western region
National Development and Reform Commission
The western region includes 12 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) of Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, with a total area of about 6.87 million square kilometers, accounting for about 72% of the country's land area, a total population of 380 million, accounting for 27% of the country, bordering 13 neighboring countries, with a border of more than 18,000 kilometers, and has a very important strategic position in safeguarding national ecological security, water security, energy resource security, and national defense border security. Implementing the strategy of large-scale development of the western region is a major strategic policy decision made by the party Central Committee at the turn of the century by taking the overall situation into consideration, and has a bearing on the overall situation of China's reform, opening up, and modernization drive, and on the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, we have conformed to the new requirements of socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era and coordinated regional development entering a new stage, coordinated the overall situation at home and abroad, strengthened measures to promote the large-scale development of the western region to form a new pattern, and made major historic achievements in the economic and social development of the western region.
I. The great course of the party's leadership over the large-scale development of the western region
The party Central Committee has always attached great importance to the development of the western region, always placed the development of the western region in an important position in the overall situation of national development, and made a series of major policy decisions and arrangements. As early as 1956, Comrade Mao Zedong stressed in "On the Relations of the Ten Congresses" that it is necessary to properly handle the relationship between coastal industry and inland industry, vigorously develop inland industry, and gradually balance the industrial layout. Comprehensively considering the production layout, the development of strategic resources, and the needs of national defense and combat readiness, during the "First Five-Year Plan," "Second Five-Year Plan," and "Third-Line Construction, the Party Central Committee laid out and built a large number of energy, industrial, and transportation projects in the western region, built steel bases such as Panzhihua and Jiuquan, and formed industrial bases relying on Cities such as Xi'an, Lanzhou, and Chengdu, laying the foundation for the development of industrialization and urbanization in the western region. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, China's reform, opening up, and socialist modernization construction have been carried out in an all-round way. In 1988, Comrade Deng Xiaoping put forward the strategic concept of "two overall situations," stressing the need to speed up the opening up of coastal areas to the outside world and take the lead in developing them, so as to promote the better development of the hinterland and to devote more efforts to help the development of the hinterland at a certain time. In accordance with the strategic concept of "two overall situations," the western region has provided effective support for the development of the eastern region, and has also scored great achievements in its own economic and social development.
At the turn of the century, the CPC Central Committee conscientiously summed up the experiences and lessons of the rise and fall of the western region in China's history, fully considered the needs and possibilities of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, focused on coping with the changes in the international situation and the overall situation of national security and long-term development, and made a major strategic policy decision on the large-scale development of the western region. In March 1999, Comrade Jiang Zemin formally put forward the strategic concept of "large-scale development of the western region" in his speeches at the meetings of party members and responsible persons at the Second Session of the Ninth National People's Congress and the Second Session of the Ninth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. In September 1999, the Fourth Plenary Session of the Fifteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China deliberated and adopted the Decision of the CPC Central Committee on Several Major Issues Concerning the Reform and Development of State-Owned Enterprises, and the implementation of the strategy for the large-scale development of the western region was written into the decision. In January 2000, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the Circular on Forwarding the State Development Planning Commission's "Report on the Initial Assumptions on the Implementation of the Strategy for the Large-scale Development of the Western Region" (Zhongfa [2000] No. 2), which expounded the guiding ideology, key tasks, and policy measures for the large-scale development of the western region, and officially opened the prelude to the large-scale development of the western region. Soon, in accordance with the decision of the central authorities, the State Council set up a leading group for the development of the western region, held several meetings, and made arrangements for the large-scale development of the western region. Under the strong leadership of the party Central Committee and the vigorous support of the people of the whole country, the cadres and masses in the western region have worked hard, the state has continuously increased input, and the strategy of large-scale development of the western region has been vigorously promoted, which has promoted the development of the western region and also opened up a broader space for the development of the whole country.
Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has attached great importance to the sustained and healthy economic and social development of the western region, visited the western provinces many times, issued a series of important speeches, and made a series of important instructions, which pointed out the direction and provided fundamental guidelines for the in-depth promotion of the large-scale development of the western region in the new period. In March 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the seventh meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform and delivered an important speech pointing out that to promote the formation of a new pattern in the large-scale development of the western region, we must pay more attention to the great protection, consider the long-term interests of the Chinese nation, put ecological environmental protection in an important position, and adhere to the new path of ecological priority and green development; we must pay more attention to the great opening up, give play to the leading role of jointly building the "Belt and Road", accelerate the construction of internal and external channels and regional hubs, and improve the infrastructure network. Improve the level of opening up to the outside world and export-oriented economic development; we must pay more attention to promoting high-quality development, implementing the new development concept, deepening supply-side structural reform, and promoting the coordination of economic and social development in the western region with population, resources and environment. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Formation of a New Pattern in the Large-scale Development of the Western Region in the New Era," which clearly stated that it is necessary to strengthen measures to grasp the key points, make up for shortcomings, and strengthen and weak items, form a new pattern of great protection, great opening up, and high-quality development, and put forward a series of key tasks and measures to promote the high-quality economic and social development of the western region. The "Suggestions" of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the outline of the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" have further made arrangements for promoting the formation of a new pattern for the large-scale development of the western region, and the large-scale development of the western region has entered a new stage of development.
Second, remarkable results have been achieved in implementing the strategy for the large-scale development of the western region
Over the past 21 years since the implementation of the strategy for the large-scale development of the western region, under the correct policy decisions and strong leadership of the party Central Committee, the cadres and masses in the western region have joined the people of the whole country in working with one heart and one mind and stubbornly working hard, and major historic achievements have been made in the large-scale development of the western region.
(1) Economic strength has steadily increased. From 1999 to 2020, the gdp of the western region increased by an average of 10.2% per year, ranking first among the four major plates, and the total economic volume and per capita level have achieved a great leap forward, and the economic growth rate of some provinces has ranked at the forefront of the country for many years. The GDP of the western region increased from 1.6 trillion yuan to 21.3 trillion yuan, accounting for 21 percent of the country's total, accounting for an increase of about 3.5 percentage points; the per capita GDP increased from more than 500 U.S. dollars to 8,088 U.S. dollars, and the ratio of per capita GDP to the eastern region increased from 41 percent to 60 percent, and the relative gap was markedly narrowed.
(2) Comprehensive victory in poverty alleviation. The western region is the main battlefield in the battle against poverty, 12 of the 14 concentrated contiguous areas with special difficulties are in the western region, and the "three districts and three prefectures" of deep poverty areas supported by the central government are all located in the west. The western provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) adhere to the principle of real poverty alleviation and real poverty alleviation, and further promote industrial poverty alleviation, employment poverty alleviation, ecological poverty alleviation, education poverty alleviation, and tourism poverty alleviation according to local conditions. Since 2012, 50.86 million poor people in the western region have been lifted out of poverty in an all-round way, and all 568 poverty-stricken counties have been removed from their hats, successfully handing over the "western answer sheet" for poverty alleviation.
(3) The ecological environment has been significantly improved. The western region has placed ecological environmental protection in a prominent and important position, and has thoroughly implemented key ecological projects such as returning farmland to forest, returning grazing land to grassland, protecting natural forests, shelter forests in the Three Norths, and comprehensive management of rocky desertification, and continuously improving the quality of the ecological environment. By the end of 2020, the cumulative implementation of returning farmland to forests and grasslands in the western region has exceeded 137 million mu, and the forest coverage rate has exceeded 19.3%. The "Zhonghua Water Tower" of The Sanjiangyuan in Qinghai has been effectively protected, the overall degradation trend of the Grassland of the Sanjiangyuan has been curbed, and the main stream of the Yangtze River has reached Class II water quality for the first time, and the water quality of the main stream of the Yellow River is excellent.
(4) The infrastructure has been greatly improved. A number of major infrastructure projects such as the Qinghai-Tibet Railway have been completed or accelerated, the "five horizontal, four vertical and four outbound" comprehensive transportation channels have been initially built, and the level of infrastructure accessibility, smoothness and equalization has been greatly improved. By the end of 2020, the operating mileage of railways in the western region has approached 60,000 kilometers, accounting for about 40% of the country;the construction scale of expressways and national and provincial trunk highways under construction exceeds the sum of the eastern and central regions; and the hardened roads of townships and towns and established villages with conditions have been fully completed; 124 civil airports have been built, accounting for 51.5% of the country; major energy projects such as west-to-east gas transmission and west-to-east power transmission have been completed, and the power transmission capacity in the western region has exceeded 260 million kilowatts.
(5) The rapid development of characteristic industries. The western region adheres to the supply-side structural reform to promote industrial transformation and upgrading, actively gives play to its comparative advantages in developing characteristic industries, conscientiously implements the preferential policy of reducing the enterprise income tax rate of 15% for encouraged industrial enterprises, and promotes the adjustment of the industrial structure and the optimization of the industrial layout in the western region. Energy, resource deep processing, equipment manufacturing, strategic emerging industries and other characteristic advantages of the industry to cultivate and grow. New industries and new formats such as big data, health care, tourism and cultural creation are booming, and the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and the real economy are deeply integrated and developed. The energy resources industry continues to transform and upgrade。 By the end of 2020, the total installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaic power generation in the western region will exceed 200 million kilowatts, accounting for about 38.2% of the total installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaic power generation in the country; the installed capacity of hydropower will be about 240 million kilowatts, accounting for about 65% of the total installed capacity of hydropower in the country; and the 300,000 kilowatts and above qualified coal-fired power units have basically achieved ultra-low emissions。
(6) Accelerate the construction of an open economic pattern. With the in-depth implementation of the "Belt and Road" initiative, the western region has seized new opportunities to actively participate and deeply integrate, and is moving from the "end" of opening up to the "frontier". In 2020, the total import and export volume was 2.95 trillion yuan, which was 26 times that of 1999, with an average annual growth rate of 15.5%. There are 7313 central European trains in the western region, accounting for 59% of the national total. Accelerate the construction of the new land-sea corridor in the western region, and promote the formation of an open pattern of linkage between land and sea and at home and abroad, and mutual benefit between the east and the west. The construction of major cross-border projects such as the China-Laos Railway and the East Line of the China-Russia Natural Gas Pipeline has been steadily advancing, and the role of open platforms such as economic development zones, pilot free trade zones, comprehensive bonded zones, Sino-foreign cooperative industrial parks, and cross-border economic cooperation zones has continued to exert force.
(7) The people's living standards have markedly improved. In 2020, the per capita disposable income of residents in the western region was 25,000 yuan. Among them, the per capita disposable income of urban residents was 37,000 yuan, an increase of 6.1 times over 1999; the per capita disposable income of rural residents was 14,000 yuan, an increase of 7.5 times over 1999. The level of urbanization continued to increase, and the urbanization rate of the permanent population in the western region exceeded 57% at the end of 2020, an increase of 8.7 percentage points over 2015.

The construction of rural tertiary health institutions has been steadily advanced, the participation rate of the new rural cooperative medical system has been significantly improved, and the social security system covering urban and rural areas has been initially established.
At the same time, we must also soberly realize that the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development in the western region is still quite conspicuous, it is still a difficult point in promoting coordinated regional development and gradually realizing common prosperity, the overall level of development is still low, the problem of regional development differentiation is quite prominent, the endogenous driving force for economic development is insufficient, there are still many shortcomings in the field of people's livelihood, and the task of promoting the large-scale development of the western region is heavy and the road is long, and it is necessary to make long-term and arduous efforts.
Third, the valuable experience and enlightenment accumulated in the implementation of the strategy for the large-scale development of the western region
Practice has fully proved that the major strategic decision of the PARTY Central Committee on implementing the large-scale development of the western region is completely correct. In the course of leading the great practice of developing and building the western region, the party has based itself on the reality of China's regional development, profoundly grasped the objective economic law, and accumulated many valuable experiences and useful enlightenments. To sum up, there are mainly the following aspects.
(1) Adhere to the party's overall leadership and promote the formation of a new pattern for the large-scale development of the western region. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. To profoundly promote the large-scale development of the western region is a major policy decision and deployment made by the party Central Committee based on the overall situation, it is necessary to adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, enhance the "four consciousnesses," strengthen the "four self-confidences," and achieve the "two safeguards," implement and embody the party's leadership in the entire process and all fields of the large-scale development of the western region, effectively take charge of the overall situation, coordinate all parties, fully mobilize all positive factors, extensively unite all forces that can be united, form a chess game for the whole country, and realize the party's propositions. The will of the state and the will of the people have reached a high degree of unity, forming a powerful joint force to promote the large-scale development of the western region, and ensuring that all aspects of the large-scale development of the western region will continue to advance along the correct road.
(2) Persist in giving play to comparative advantages and explore new paths of high-quality development with rich regional characteristics. The western region is vast in area, and the natural conditions and development levels of each region are very different, so it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions and implement policies according to different categories. To profoundly promote the large-scale development of the western region, we must respect the laws of nature and economic law, give full play to the comparative advantages of various regions, persist in working in accordance with work, business as business, agriculture as agriculture, grain with grain, mountains and mountains, and water as water, promote areas with good conditions for economic development to carry more industries and populations, give play to the role of value creation, and cultivate important growth poles for high-quality development; effectively protect the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and other areas with strong ecological functions, create more ecological products, and undertake the important mission of safeguarding ecological security; and enhance the development capacity of border areas. Promote national unity and border stability and ensure national security.
(3) Adhere to the priority of ecology and promote the comprehensive green transformation of the western economy and society. The western region is an important ecological security barrier in China, with a large area of grassland, forests and other important ecological resources, and is also the birthplace of many major rivers such as the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the Lancang River. The ecological and environmental problems in the western region are not only related to the western region, but also to the whole country and to the future generations of the Chinese nation. To further promote the large-scale development of the western region, it is necessary to consider the long-term interests of the Chinese nation, put ecological environmental protection in a prominent and important position, implement the concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", adhere to ecological priority and green development, develop in the course of protection and protection in development, increase the intensity of ecological protection and environmental governance, and build a solid national ecological security barrier. Implement the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, improve the efficiency of energy resource utilization, accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of the economy and society, and promote the harmonious coexistence of man and nature。
(4) Persist in deepening reform and opening up and enhance the endogenous driving force for the development of the western region. The western region has a long land border, borders with many countries, and has good conditions for opening up to the outside world, especially the "Belt and Road" construction has provided major opportunities for the opening up and development of the western region. To profoundly promote the large-scale development of the western region, we must persist in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, give full play to the role of the market mechanism, give better play to the role of the government, guide all localities to proceed from reality, transform the advantages of resources, location, and other advantages into competitive advantages and economic advantages, and through optimizing the business environment, cultivate and expand the main body of the market, promote the rational flow of production factors, and stimulate social creativity. It is necessary to adhere to the world-wide, internal and external linkage, actively participate in and integrate into the construction of the "Belt and Road", vigorously develop an open economy, accelerate the construction of an all-round open development pattern, achieve high-quality introduction and high-level going out, and promote domestic and international dual circulation.
(5) Persist in improving policy support and improve the development support capacity of the western region. The western region has a particularly important strategic position. Since the implementation of the strategy for the large-scale development of the western region, the state has implemented a series of preferential policies and built a large number of major projects in the western region, which has effectively promoted the comprehensive economic strength of the western region and the living standards and quality of life of the masses of the people to a higher level. To further promote the large-scale development of the western region, it is necessary to further strengthen measures, improve support policies, earnestly improve the accuracy and effectiveness of policies, increase infrastructure investment in the western region, support the development of characteristic and advantageous industries, consolidate the results of poverty alleviation, make up for shortcomings in the fields of people's livelihood such as education and medical care, improve the coordination mechanism between the east and the west, increase the intensity of assistance, innovate cooperation methods, and support the sustained and healthy development of the western region.
(6) Adhere to the people-centered approach and promote the sharing of development results. In implementing the strategy for the large-scale development of the western region, it is adhered to that development is for the people, development depends on the people, the fruits of development are shared by the people, and the economic and social development of the western region has made great progress, and the people in the western region have gained tangible benefits. To profoundly promote the large-scale development of the western region, we must adhere to the people-centered development thinking, adhere to the direction of common prosperity, always regard the people's yearning for a better life in the western region as the goal of struggle, do our best and do what we can, focus on solving problems such as regional disparities, urban-rural disparities, and income disparities, ensure and improve people's livelihood in the course of development, strive to achieve equalization of basic public services, a relatively balanced degree of infrastructure accessibility, and a generally equal level of people's basic living security, and constantly enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security.
