The 16th Annual Meeting of the International Economic Advisory Group meeting of Chongqing Mayors was held in Chongqing from 23rd to 25th. The theme of this annual meeting will focus on the construction of the twin-city economic circle in The Chengdu-Chongqing area, and the cover news interviews with the consultant representatives from Deloitte, Corning and Qualcomm, who expressed their views on the opportunities and challenges of Chongqing enterprises in the context of the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle.
Xu Sitao: Promote the coordinated development of small and medium-sized cities around Chengdu and Chongqing, so that the "collapse of the central region" becomes the "rise of the central region"
Xu Sitao, chief economist and partner of Deloitte China, believes that the establishment of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in Chengdu-Chongqing will help Chongqing improve the energy level of the center, promote the improvement of the regional production network, and further enhance the role of Chongqing as an economic hub.

"The improvement of regional transportation networks will become an opportunity to promote regional transformation and upgrading." The value of the intercity rail line between the Central Axis of Chengdu and Chongqing will be further highlighted. Xu Sitao said.
Xu Sitao believes that with the continuous improvement of the status of intercity transportation, the "intermediate collapse" area between Chengdu and Chongqing will play a key role in the flow of chengdu-Chongqing dual-core industrial elements, especially the effective organization of regional innovation platforms and innovation resources in the TOD model, Chongqing will gain industrial opportunities.
Therefore, he suggested that the twin-city economic circle should clarify the functional positioning between various cities, optimize the spatial development pattern of the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration, and continue to expand and strengthen the two core cities of Chongqing and Chengdu, while promoting the coordinated development of small and medium-sized cities around the two places, so that the "central collapse" becomes the "rise of the central region".
In addition, it is also necessary to vigorously promote the interconnection of important transportation infrastructure between the two places, rely on the main transportation arteries such as "water, land and air", make up for the shortcomings of transportation, and open up the "capillaries" of transportation in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration, which is the basis for the coordinated development of the region and create more convenient conditions for promoting the flow of people, logistics and business flows between urban agglomerations.
In terms of giving play to the leading role of Chengdu and Chongqing's "polar core" and jointly building an integrated open market, Xu Sitao suggested that we jointly build an open highland in the western inland to promote the outward-looking development of the economies of the two places. As an important location advantage in the strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, Chengdu-Chongqing relies on the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, the China-Europe express train, the new china-Singapore international land and sea trade channel and other open channels, and makes good use of open platforms such as Liangjiang New Area, Tianfu New Area and policy dividends such as free trade zones to promote investment facilitation, trade liberalization, and actively create an international first-class business environment.
In addition, Xu Sitao also suggested giving full play to the "Belt and Road" initiative between Chengdu and Chongqing, working together to build an open highland in the western inland area, and jointly creating new advantages for opening up to the outside world, "Chengdu and Chongqing can strengthen industrial docking and cooperation, give full play to their respective advantages, from the overall perspective of the whole industrial chain and regional development, gradually establish an industrial cooperation and supporting coordinated development mechanism, and strengthen the industrial division of labor within the urban agglomeration." ”
Zhang Zheng: The development of the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration must be based on the development of industrial clusters
"This is my third time to attend the annual meeting, and I have seen that While Chongqing has successfully fought the epidemic, it has also handed over a beautiful answer sheet for the development of the local economy." Zhang Zheng, senior vice president of Corning, is deeply touched by the rapid changes in Chongqing.
Zheng Zhang, Senior Vice President of Corning Corporation
Corning's development in Chongqing has many years of history, as early as 2015, Corning Display Technology invested in the establishment of an 8.5-generation liquid crystal display glass production plant in Chongqing, and its business has grown rapidly since it was put into operation in 2017. On June 18, 2021, Corning Display Technology announced additional investment to add hot-end process capabilities to the Chongqing plant, realizing the full production of display glass in Chongqing and helping Chongqing achieve the strategic goal of "from sand to TV" display industry chain.
In view of the construction of an integrated industrial cluster in the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing area, combined with Corning's industry experience, Zhang Zheng suggested that the industrial structure and spatial layout of Chengdu-Chongqing and its surrounding urban agglomerations should be optimized from a macro perspective, and the coordinated development of various cities and industries in the urban agglomeration should be strengthened. For example, Chongqing can rely on its strong upstream heavy industry and downstream logistics advantages to broaden the supply chain and channels for the western regions such as Chengdu, Mianyang and Xianyang, and avoid duplicate investment through macro-control, thus forming the overall development of the whole industrial chain.
On the other hand, Zhang Zheng suggested establishing a mechanism for government policy coordination and dialogue and consultation among cities in urban agglomerations to break the state of inter-regional blockade and confrontation, and then jointly create a coordinated industrial development mechanism. For example, in the field of electronic manufacturing, Chengdu and Chongqing can play the role of a core city and establish a cross-regional cooperation mechanism.
"Industrial agglomeration is the direction of urban agglomeration development." Zhang Zheng said that he said that the development of the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration must be based on the development of industrial clusters, give play to the interactive development effect between urban agglomerations and industrial clusters, strengthen industrial agglomeration and resource integration, and create trillion-yuan industrial clusters. Under the general direction of the development of the automobile, electronics manufacturing and information industries, we will form an industrial agglomeration development system with complementary advantages, reasonable division of labor and unique characteristics, and promote the integration of the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration into the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
Meng Pu: Chongqing should formulate a distinctive development path for the intelligent and connected car industry
At present, the "four trends" characterized by "intelligence, networking, electrification and sharing" have become the inevitable direction of the transformation and upgrading of the automotive industry. Meng Zhu, chairman of Qualcomm China, believes that Chongqing has the foundation of the automobile, electronic information industry and software industry.

In this context, he suggested that Chongqing should seize the opportunity of the intelligent networking reform of the automobile industry, actively build an intelligent and connected automobile industry ecology, and realize the chongqing automobile industry from big to strong and become a new business card.
He said that at present, cities with economic foundations, related industrial bases and development needs in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, etc., are actively laying out the intelligent and connected vehicle industry. Chongqing's automobile industry and electronic information industry have a strong foundation and strong kinetic energy, forming a relatively complete vehicle production supporting system. Therefore, Chongqing has a relatively good foundation and good ability to develop the intelligent and connected vehicle industry.
He believes that Chongqing should formulate a distinctive development path and targeted link layout for its intelligent and connected automobile industry, and form a differentiated competition with other cities, which will help accelerate the development of the intelligent and connected automobile industry and promote the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry in the region.
Qualcomm is the world's leading wireless technology innovator and a driving force for 5G research and development, commercialization and scale. All along, Qualcomm has actively supported the landing and realization of Chongqing's big data intelligence goals, and helped the development of key industries such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, automotive electronics, and intelligent networked vehicles in Chongqing.
"Qualcomm is willing to continue to play the role of the ecological technology base of the intelligent and connected automobile industry in Chongqing and Chengdu-Chongqing, help the ecological construction of the intelligent and connected automobile industry, and will work with partners to explore more cooperation opportunities to jointly promote the digital transformation of Chongqing's industry and help the development of Chongqing's Internet of Things, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent connected vehicles and other industries." Meng Said.
