【Today in the History of the Party】
On October 26, 2000, the State Council issued the "Circular on Several Policies and Measures for the Large-scale Development of the Western Region," the main contents of which include: policies for increasing capital input, policies for improving the investment environment, policies for expanding opening up to the outside world, policies for attracting qualified personnel and developing science, technology, and education.
From ancient times to the present, the western region has played a tremendous role in the survival and development of the Chinese nation, and the western region has always been a major national event in successive dynasties. However, western China has always been synonymous with poverty and backwardness. Especially in modern times, the country is poor and weak, and the development of the western region can only be a dream that is difficult for countless people with lofty ideals to realize.
On October 26, 2000, the State Council issued the "Circular on Several Policies and Measures for the Large-scale Development of the Western Region," the main contents of which include: policies for increasing capital input, policies for improving the investment environment, policies for expanding opening up to the outside world, policies for attracting qualified personnel and developing science, technology, and education. The Circular also clarifies the scope of application of the policy for the development of the western region, including Chongqing Municipality, Sichuan Province, Guizhou Province, Yunnan Province, Tibet Autonomous Region, Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Qinghai Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Implementing the strategy of developing the western region on a large scale and speeding up the development of the central and western regions is an important component part of China's modernization strategy, a major policy decision made by the party Central Committee with great foresight, a comprehensive view of the overall situation, and a new century, and is of very great economic and political significance.
