The strategy for 2035 has been decided! Shenyang is no longer "low-key", and its economic take-off has four natural advantages
For Shenyang, I have a deep memory, once on October 7, 2001, at the Wulihe Stadium in Shenyang, I witnessed the Chinese team qualifying for the World Cup!

Shenyang has a beautiful business card that most Chinese cities do not have - the eldest son of the Republic. With this business card, Shenyang has become a city with a difference, a city that makes history look at, and a city with a senior and rich historical heritage. After the reform and opening up, due to the rapid economic development of coastal cities, the status and light of being the "big brother" in the northeast region have been submerged by the beautiful economies of the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Today, Shenyang's economy is still in a "low profile", how to get out of the economic predicament? Let's take a look at Shenyang.
Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning Province, the city level is a sub-provincial city, a megacity. Shenyang is the site of the Northern Theater Headquarters of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Shenyang Joint Logistics Support Center directly under the Central Military Commission, and is an important central city in the northeast region approved by the State Council, an advanced equipment manufacturing base, and a national historical and cultural city.
Located in the south of Northeast China, Shenyang is located in the center of the Northeast Asia Economic Circle and the Bohai Rim Economic Circle, and is a comprehensive hub city from the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regions to the Kanto region.
Shenyang has jurisdiction over 10 districts, 2 counties, and 1 county-level city, with a total area of more than 12,948 square kilometers, an urban area of 3,495 square kilometers, and a permanent population of 7.56 million in 2019.
Shenyang is a famous historical and cultural city in China, known as "the birthplace of a dynasty, the capital of two generations of emperors". It is the most important heavy industrial base in China, mainly in the equipment manufacturing industry, and has the reputation of "the eldest son of the republic" and "Oriental Ruhr". It has successively won the titles of "National Civilized City", "National Model City of Environmental Protection", "National Forest City" and "National Garden City".
What is the level of Shenyang's economy in the country?
1) Gross National Product (GDP), in 2019, Shenyang created a total economic volume of 647 billion yuan, which ranks 33rd in China. Shenyang's total economic output is on par with Kunming, Yunnan Province, in the southwestern region, but higher than the 599.5 billion yuan in Xiamen, Changchun, and Yangzhou, which is planned to be listed separately.
If compared with the 700.1 billion yuan of Dalian, a planned city in Liaoning Province, it is still a difference of 53.1 billion yuan, almost half of the total amount of Jinzhou City. Shenyang's economic downturn actually comes from the backwardness of the total economic volume, as the most important provincial capital city in the northeast region, the total economic volume is even surpassed by some ordinary prefecture-level cities, such as Nantong, Yantai, Tangshan, Wenzhou, Xuzhou and so on.
2) Per capita GDP observation: Shenyang's per capita GDP in 2019 was 77,777 yuan, ranking 88th in the country, only 43% of Wuxi City, which ranks first in jiangsu Province, and 77% of Dalian City in Liaoning Province, which is also equivalent to 77% of 100,200 yuan per capita in Dalian City, Liaoning Province.
Therefore, whether from the city status of Shenyang city or the national happiness index, Shenyang's economic data is inconsistent with its city status.
3) Fiscal revenue level: In 2019, Shenyang's fiscal revenue was about 73 billion yuan, ranking 21st in the country, lower than 2 prefecture-level cities, such as Wuxi City's 103.6 billion yuan and Foshan City's 73.4 billion yuan. But it is higher than the 71.6 billion in Xi'an and 68.6 billion in Dalian in this province. In addition to the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, Shenyang's fiscal revenue is only equivalent to about 32% of the 222.1 billion yuan of Suzhou City, which ranks fifth in the country and the first in Jiangsu Province, which shows that the gap with economically developed areas is still very obvious.
What are the reasons for Shenyang's economic malaise and decline?
First, the proportion of state-owned enterprises is relatively large: according to the previous "Liaoning Blue Book", the economic benefits of state-owned enterprises in Liaoning are relatively low, the profits of enterprises have been greatly reduced, and the loss-making enterprises once reached about 50%. The loss of state-owned enterprises is related to the large number of state-owned enterprises, which leads to low operational efficiency. Coupled with the backwardness of the market operation mechanism, state-owned enterprises also appear uncompetitive under the current market economy environment. Compared with the very developed private economy, individual economy, and small and micro enterprises in southern Jiangsu, the huge state-owned enterprises do have a widespread difficulty in turning around, making the economy lack vitality, thus leading to a long-term negative cycle of the economy.
Almost all the pillar industries in Liaoning Province are led by state-owned enterprises, of which the metallurgical industry once accounted for about 70%, the crude oil industry in the petrochemical industry once accounted for about 90%, especially as the largest industry in Liaoning Province, the number of state-owned enterprises in the equipment manufacturing industry is more, such as the famous Shenfei Group, Shenyang Heavy Machinery Group, Shengu Group, Dalian Shipbuilding, Dalian Iceberg Group, etc. Therefore, the economic and industrial structure is relatively single, the proportion of traditional heavy industry state-owned enterprises is relatively large, and the economic situation of state-owned enterprises is difficult to move forward under the premise of lack of economic efficiency.
Second, overcapacity: with the continuous decline in international commodity prices, especially the continuous decline in international crude oil, steel, coal and other commodity prices in recent years, resulting in a significant reduction in the profit margin of state-owned enterprises in Liaoning Province dominated by petrochemical, steel smelting and coal industries. For example, in the steel industry, the supply of products exceeds demand, which in turn leads to a continuous decline in domestic steel prices, rising labor costs, further reduction in corporate profits, and a negative cycle in the economy.
Third, the industrial structure is single. As China's former heavy industry base and equipment manufacturing base, Liaoning Province has many traditional resource-based cities, and heavy industry and equipment manufacturing industry are important pillar industries in Liaoning Province.
The rapid development of China's economy has also led to the depletion of resources in important resource-based cities in northeast China, especially the single industrial structure of Liaoning Province, which is dominated by heavy industry and equipment manufacturing, is facing an economic crisis and is facing the adjustment of industrial structure. For example, the traditional resource-based city of Fushun, in the early days of the founding of the country, Fushun City is very rich in natural resources, the first ton of special steel, the first ton of aluminum, the first mechanical excavator in New China are all produced in Fushun. Fushun City provided a large number of resources for the construction of New China. Fushun City came into being a lot of coal mines, aluminum mines, equipment manufacturing industries, bringing huge wealth to Fushun City.
Due to the depletion of natural resources in recent years, a large number of resource-based enterprises have gone bankrupt and liquidated in Fushun, and a large number of enterprises have collapsed, which has led to economic recession and rising unemployment.
As the capital of Liaoning Province, Shenyang is also facing industrial adjustments in the background:
Problems in the economic and industrial structure of Shenyang:
1) The proportion of the primary industry is relatively low. The level of industrialization of agriculture and animal husbandry is low;
2) Heavy chemical industry structure ratio is significant. From the perspective of the ratio of heavy industry and light industry in Shenyang, heavy industry occupies an absolute advantage, and the output value of heavy industry once reached 100% in some years, compared with the light industry developed in cities in the Yangtze River Delta region. On average, Shenyang's heavy industry accounts for about 70%. Such as emerging industries, such as semiconductors, Internet of Things, integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, big data, etc. the growth is very slow, the proportion is relatively low, emerging industries can not see to become an important leading force for the time being. Compared with Hangzhou's digital economy, which accounts for more than a quarter of GDP, Shenyang's economic structure has the phenomenon of "old dragon clock" industry.
3) The development of the tertiary industry is seriously lagging behind. From the perspective of the regularity of economic development in developed countries, the proportion of the tertiary industry should continue to rise, and Shenyang Is contrary to this.
Where is the road to the future transformation of Shenyang's economy?
Shenyang should accelerate the transformation of its industrial structure: make full use of the "Internet +" to develop the economy and adjust the structure. Shenyang has key universities such as Shenyang Pharmaceutical University and Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, which can rely on universities to transform its industrial structure. In addition, we should vigorously develop high-tech industries, modern service industries, and financial industries, and promote economic transformation with the adjustment of industrial structure.
Shenyang should promote the combination of the Internet, cloud computing, big data, internet of things, etc. with modern manufacturing, and use the Internet + traditional industries to transform and upgrade heavy industry and equipment manufacturing.
Attract foreign businessmen, promote employment, and encourage entrepreneurship: new economic growth points should be sought. Attract foreign investment through preferential policies. While promoting economic transformation, it can increase employment opportunities and promote employment, and it can also promote the adjustment of industrial structure and the transformation of economic structure.
Make full use of Dalian's location advantages. For example, the Summer Davos Forum in Dalian is a good publicity opportunity, and Dalian is the resident host city of Summer Davos. Shenyang should make full use of Dalian's location advantages, strengthen cooperation with the world and East Asian countries, and promote Shenyang's economic development.
What are the measures for Shenyang To start thinking about poverty and hoping for the future of Phoenix Nirvana?
In fact, since 2017, the Shenyang Municipal Government has issued the "Shenyang Revitalization Strategic Plan (Draft)", actively promoting the quality and efficiency of traditional industries in Shenyang.
According to the Shenyang Big Data Bureau, the implementation of the three-year action plan for cultivating and developing emerging industries is: cultivating and expanding leading enterprises such as Shenfei Civil Aircraft and Neusoft Medical, promoting the construction of 50 emerging industries and 25 new format projects, expanding the scale of the robot industry, and striving to exceed 9 billion yuan in output value.
Shenyang has thus taken the leading enterprises as the core, and the 100 billion industrial chain covering auto parts, aviation, power transmission and transformation equipment, robots, and a new generation of information technology is gradually taking shape. The government will formulate development plans for industries one by one, promote the construction of a modern industrial system, and make every effort to build a '7+1' 100 billion industrial cluster. At the same time, we will continue to carry out the intelligent upgrading of the traditional manufacturing industry, and promote a number of manufacturing enterprises to implement the intelligent upgrading of production and workshops.
From building an open industrial ecosystem, the government has developed new manufacturing models such as personalized customization, crowdsourcing design, and cloud manufacturing based on the Internet, and improved precision manufacturing and agile manufacturing capabilities. Focusing on the Sino-German High-end Equipment Industrial Park, we will focus on supporting EastNet Technology and Liaoning Mobile to build an industrial big data center in Tiexi District, dig deep into the commercial value of big data and industrial Internet business, and provide strong technical support for the development of intelligent manufacturing.
It is worth mentioning that the opening of the world's first alpine high-speed railway, The Opening of the Harbin Passenger Railway and the Shendan Passenger Railway and the Danda Rapid Railway has built a "1-hour economic circle" centered on Shenyang and Dalian, narrowing the distance between cities in Liaoning, accelerating the exchange of materials and personnel, driving the export sales of products, and providing an important transportation guarantee for the transformation and upgrading of Shenyang's traditional industries.
Take a look at Shenyang's strategy for revitalizing its future:
The Shenyang Municipal Government issued the "Shenyang Future Industry Cultivation and Development Plan (2018-2035)", focusing on cultivating five leading industries of future production, future transportation, future health, future information technology and future materials, and building Shenyang into a pioneer, demonstration area and leading area for the national future industrial innovation and development.
With "future technology industrialization" and "future of existing industries" as the starting point, we plan the development goals, key areas and development paths of future industries for 2035, focusing on cultivating the "3+2" future industry ecosystem, that is, the three leading industries of future production, future transportation and future health, as well as the two major enabling industries of future information technology and future materials.
Specifically, it includes 17 key directions of intelligent robots, additive manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing system integration, intelligent networked vehicles, general aviation, intelligent transportation, life sciences, biotechnology, intelligent medical treatment, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, blockchain, energy storage materials, aviation materials, semiconductor materials, nanomaterials, and anti-corrosion materials.
Strive to seize the opportunity in the new round of science and technology and industrial revolution, achieve leapfrog and leading development in the new round of regional competition, and build Shenyang into a pioneer zone, demonstration area and leading area for the country's future industrial innovation and development.
Shenyang industry will revitalize its future with four natural advantages:
One of the industrial advantages: Shenyang is an important central city in northeast China, with unique innovation resources, strong industrial foundation, rich talent resources and innovative achievements, and has strategic and basic element conditions and characteristic advantages for the development of future industries.
For example, Shenyang has eight advantageous industries such as machinery and equipment, automobiles and parts, pharmaceutical and chemical, IT products, agricultural and sideline products processing, ferrous metal smelting and calendering, non-ferrous metal smelting and calendering and aerospace manufacturing, etc., which have a pivotal strategic position in Shenyang's industrial system.
Among them, Shenyang Machine Tool Group is the vanguard enterprise of China's machine tool industry, which has gathered 4 enterprises in the "Eighteen Arhats" of China's machine tool industry, holding A-share listed company Shen Ji shares, which once ranked first in the global machine tool industry and has great influence in the field of machine tool manufacturing at home and abroad. Machine tools have always been known as "industrial mother machine", China's machine tool industry has become the world's first machine tool manufacturing and consumption country for many years, but the machine tool industry "big but not strong" short board is obvious.
After China General Technology Group and Shenyang Municipal Government held the reorganization of Shenyang Machine Tool Group's Shenji shares, Shenyang Machine Tool Group, Dalian Machine Tool Group and other enterprises in the domestic machine tool industry were all under the umbrella of China General Technology Group. Carry out a new round of industrial pattern reshaping.
For example, Shenyang Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., Ltd., known as the "cradle of China's fighter aircraft", has created one Chinese first after another in the history of Chinese aviation since its official construction in 1951, and has been successfully trial-produced
The first jet fighter, the J-5
The first jet trainer, the J-D.I. aircraft
The first supersonic fighter, the J-6
The first surface-to-air missile
Hongqi-1 missile
The first double sonic fighter, the J-7
The first self-designed high-altitude high-speed fighter - J-8 aircraft
The first supersonic fighter trainer aircraft, the J-6 aircraft
The first high-, medium-, low-altitude reconnaissance aircraft - J-Reconnaissance 6 aircraft
The first all-weather high-altitude high-speed aircraft with good maneuverability - J-8II
The first aerial oil receiver
In the past 50 years, Shenfei Group Company has developed and produced more than 20 types of thousands of aircraft, making significant contributions to the development of China's aviation industry and national defense modernization, and is known as the "cradle of China's fighter aircraft"
For example, the robot industry in Shenyang. The most representative enterprise, Siasun Robot Company, with a market value of nearly 35 billion yuan, has become the largest enterprise in Shenyang, is one of the most complete manufacturers of robot product lines in the world, and is also a leading enterprise in the domestic robot industry. On June 11, 2019, Siasun Robot was selected as "2019 Forbes China's Most Innovative Enterprise List".
Siasun is the largest robot industrialization base in China, the Hangzhou high-end equipment park and Shenyang wisdom park under construction will become the two major digital high-end equipment bases in the north and south, and it is also the world's most advanced high-end intelligent processing center integrating digitalization and intelligence, using robots to produce robots and take the lead in carrying out fundamental changes in manufacturing models.
TBEA in Shenyang has become an "equipment world" enterprise. Shenyang Transformer Group Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TBEA Electric Co., Ltd., built in 1938, has 78 years of professional manufacturing history of transformers and reactors, is China's transformer industry with a long history, large scale, strong technical strength of R & D, manufacturing base, the development process has created countless Chinese and world firsts.
The company has more than 560 sets of high-end production and test equipment, which is currently the world's high voltage level, sound quality assurance system, world-class UHV AC and DC transmission and transformation technology industrial park with world-class test equipment, production equipment and production environment, and a single transformer plant with a production capacity of more than 100 million kVA, ranking first in the world! And ranked first among the top ten transformer industry in China.
Shenyang Heavy Machinery Factory has been refined into the first furnace of molten steel in New China, creating a 1700mm primary rolling mill, a 25mm free forging hydraulic press, a 125mm non-ferrous metal horizontal extruder, etc., creating more than 40 "firsts in the republic"!
However, compared with developed cities at home and abroad, Shenyang still has problems such as the mismatch between the development of emerging industries and innovation resources, the inertia of traditional institutional mechanisms, the lack of enterprise innovation vitality, and the loss of high-end talents. Compared with Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other cities, Shenyang's accelerated cultivation and development of future industries is more severe and the task is more arduous.
Industrial advantage two: Shenyang is the largest railway, highway, air transportation hub in northeast China, with the largest civil airport in northeast China, the country's largest railway marshalling station and the country's highest level of "one ring and five shots" highway network.
Shenyang has 5 trunk lines intersecting here and connecting 8 branch lines to all parts of the country, which is the only way for international intermodal transport to North Korea and Russia; the highway is in all directions, leading to all cities in the province and Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing, Changchun, Harbin and other places can be "day and night".
Shenyang Taoxian International Airport is also the largest aviation hub in Northeast China, connecting more than 50 domestic cities and more than 30 cities in Japan, Singapore and other countries.
Industrial advantage three: Shenyang's resource advantages. Shenyang is located in the center of the central Liaoning urban agglomeration, within a radius of 150 kilometers distributed: iron and steel base - Anshan, coal base - Fushun, chemical fiber base - Liaoyang, coal and iron base - Benxi, oil base - Panjin, coal grain base - Tieling, power base - Fuxin and other 7 large industrial and commercial cities, has now become a city group in central Liaoning with particularly close economic ties between cities, huge market capacity, and broad prospects for development, providing industrial enterprises with inexhaustible mineral resources.
The third industrial advantage: education and medical advantages: Shenyang is the city with the largest number of undergraduate colleges and universities in the northeast region, and the only city in the northeast region that covers nine major categories of universities including comprehensive, science and engineering, medicine, agriculture and forestry, art, sports, architecture, military, and police, and higher education is very developed. Shenyang has 53 colleges and universities, including Northeastern University (985 and 211), Liaoning University (double first-class and 211), and China Medical University (Health and Family Planning Commission).
Shenyang is one of the three largest cities in the country with the largest number of tertiary hospitals (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenyang), health and medical technology ranks among the best in the country, and China Medical University is one of the four major emergency centers in the country, with a total of 21 tertiary hospitals.
The fourth industrial advantage: cultural advantage. Shenyang has successfully held the second Northeast Cultural Industry Expo Fair and has become one of the four major cultural industry exhibitions in China. There are three World Cultural Heritage Protection Units in Shenyang.
World Cultural Heritage Ming and Qing Imperial Palaces: Shenyang Imperial Palace, Shenyang Beiling (Zhaoling), Shenyang Dongling (Fuling).
