Yesterday, Chongqing swiped the screen again.
This time, it is not the "mysterious power" that the editor has implicitly mentioned many times, but the strategy of a great power under the sun.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's China tour began in Chongqing, followed by Shanghai and Beijing.
As the youngest municipality directly under the central government and a super industrial city with the most complete industrial categories, Chongqing not only has an absolute advantage in political resources, but also has an industrial base and ecology corresponding to Germany's industrial power. This may be one of the main factors for Scholz's first stop in Chongqing.
Of course, there is another and perhaps more important reason that Chongqing, as the core area of the strategic hinterland and the only municipality directly under the central government in the central and western regions, has greater strategic space and development prospects.
We should believe the sense of smell of the German Chancellor, who is the locomotive of the European economy.
For Germany, in order to have a deep strategic development in the economy, it must not only embrace China's opportunities, but also seize the strategic focus of China's opportunities.
Is it just a coincidence or an accident that Scholz has just left the front foot and the symposium on promoting the large-scale development of the western region in the new era was held in Chongqing?
On the afternoon of 23 April, an important speech at the forum on promoting the large-scale development of the western region in the new era held in Chongqing stressed that the western region plays a pivotal role in the overall situation of the country's reform, development, and stability. It is necessary to consistently grasp the implementation of the policies and measures of the CPC Central Committee to promote the large-scale development of the western region, further form a new pattern of large-scale protection, large-scale opening-up and high-quality development, enhance the overall strength and sustainable development capacity of the region, and strive to write a new chapter in the large-scale development of the western region in the Chinese-style modernization.
The large-scale development of the western region is a major national strategy that was launched and implemented 20 years ago, and now it is once again focused on promoting its implementation, which shows that this national strategy is speeding up.
There are several key points in this symposium, which are worth paying attention to:
1. The theme of the conference is clear and direct:
As the name suggests, the theme of this forum is the large-scale development of the western region, and the task is to promote the large-scale development of the western region. In other words, the purpose of this forum is to take a clear-cut, resolute, and resolute stand in promoting the large-scale development of the western region, and the core topic of the forum is how to promote and how to unswervingly accomplish this strategic task.
This is the signal, and it is the charge.
The large-scale development of the western region has ushered in the strongest east wind.
2. The top responsible persons of the party committees of the four western provinces participated:
Zheng Shajie, minister in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission, Yuan Jiajun, secretary of the Chongqing Municipal CPC Committee, Wang Xiaohui, secretary of the Sichuan Provincial CPC Committee, Zhao Yide, secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial CPC Committee, and Ma Xingrui, secretary of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Regional CPC Committee, spoke at the forum.
Why did you choose to hold it in Chongqing?
Chongqing is a municipality directly under the central government, the core area of the national strategic hinterland, a full-type industrial city, the main component of the fourth pole of Chengdu-Chongqing, a new highland for inland opening up in China, an international exchange center in the central and western regions, and a strategic node of the Belt and Road Initiative.
To put it simply, Chongqing is a municipality directly under the central government, and it is a city under the direct management of the state, which is directly connected to the national strategic tasks and strategic resources, which is a height and advantage that all other large cities in the central and western regions cannot achieve.
In addition to the natural advantages of the nature of the city, Chongqing has inherent advantages in both industrial base and geographical location, so it is natural for Chongqing to be a leading city in the west.
The forum stressed the need to persistently promote large-scale development through large-scale opening up and raise the level of opening up the western region to the outside world. We will vigorously promote the construction of a new land-sea corridor in the western region, promote the development and opening up of regions along the route, and deeply integrate into the joint construction of the "Belt and Road".
The participation of the party committee secretaries of the four western provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions is to play the "Belt and Road" game well.
It is worth mentioning that the operation organization center of the new western land-sea corridor is located in Chongqing International Logistics Park.
This also shows Chongqing's unique status and role.
3. Key core technologies:
One of the important tasks of this symposium is to focus on key core technologies.
It is necessary to persist in taking the development of characteristic and advantageous industries as the main direction of attack, develop emerging industries in accordance with local conditions, and accelerate the industrial transformation and upgrading of the western region;
Strengthen the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, actively cultivate and introduce high-level scientific and technological innovation talents, and strive to overcome a number of key core technologies;
deepen cooperation in scientific and technological innovation in the eastern, central and western regions, and build a national independent innovation demonstration zone and a demonstration zone for the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements;
promote the integrated development of central enterprises and the western region;
Develop new productive forces according to local conditions, explore the development of modern manufacturing and strategic emerging industries, lay out and build future industries, and form new momentum for regional development.
In fact, this has already put forward specific requirements and also pointed out specific paths:
It is necessary to form a number of key core technologies and lay out and build future industries, which are not only based on the present, but also focus on the future.
Specifically, there are roughly three main paths:
Independent innovation: independent innovation is based on the existing foundation and advantages, through the integration of internal resources, tap their own potential, the formation of distinctive core technology and development path;
Provincial cooperation: take the initiative to connect with the technology and industrial transfer in the central and eastern regions, and undertake the gradient transfer of industries. This is a typical opportunity of the times, and Chongqing has already put it into action. On March 26, the well-known Zhejiang businessmen Chongqing line industrial cooperation conference was held. Representatives of the business community of Zhejiang and Chongqing gathered in Chongqing for in-depth exchanges and negotiations on the continuous deepening of industrial cooperation and mutual benefit and win-win development between the two places. After the meeting, major projects were signed, and 90 projects were settled in Chongqing, with a total investment of 100 billion yuan.

Central-local cooperation: The construction of the core area of the national strategic hinterland is to undertake the strategic layout and implementation of central enterprises or national scientific research institutions in Chongqing. Whether it is the strategic signing with dozens of central enterprises under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission last year or the implementation of projects with a number of central enterprises this year, it shows that central enterprises are stepping up the implementation of the national strategy.
Next, Chongqing will accelerate and increase the pace of key core technologies and major projects.
4. Opening-up:
It is necessary to persist in promoting large-scale development through large-scale opening up and raise the level of opening up the western region to the outside world. We will vigorously promote the construction of a new land-sea corridor in the western region, promote the development and opening up of regions along the route, and deeply integrate into the joint construction of the "Belt and Road". Improve the layout of various industrial parks, border economic cooperation zones, and cross-border economic cooperation zones in border areas, and promote the high-quality development of pilot free trade zones.
The carrier of opening up to the outside world is the new western land-sea corridor, through which the in-depth implementation of the "Belt and Road" strategy will be realized.
The "One Belt, One Road" strategy is actually an international trade strategy, which is to make the foreign trade of the western region bigger and stronger, which is not only related to the implementation of the national strategy, but also related to the achievements of the large-scale development of the western region, and more importantly, to the prospects and future of the development of the western region.
Therefore, Chongqing, as the core area of the strategic hinterland and the backup base of strategic industries, is also becoming a new highland for inland opening up.
I remember that 3 years ago, Xiaobian put forward the future pattern of "Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing", some people disagreed, and even expressed doubts, at that time, Xiaobian vaguely said the "mysterious power" behind this judgment, in fact, there is no "mysterious power", if you want to say that there is really a "mysterious power", that is, the strategy of a great power is just that.
The extent and pattern of human development, and even the development of each country, depend on the overall strategy at that time, and the power of the overall strategy can not only change the pattern, but also determine the future.
Again, Chongqing was not just a direct government for Chongqing, but a big move in the national strategy.
In fact, China's rise is essentially the rise of China's strategic wisdom.
When Chongqing is chosen for the national strategy, this is not only the need of the national strategy, but also the need of Chongqing's development.
Therefore, Chongqing, which has been supported by the national strategy, has ushered in a major opportunity.
As far as Chongqing, which is positioned as the vanguard of the western region, is bound to speed up the implementation of the spirit of the important speech and the arrangements for major tasks of the forum, and enter a new cycle of accelerated development.
New Chongqing is moving towards a new future!
Bless the new Chongqing, bless every new Chongqing person!
