Intending to "compete for supremacy in southern Jiangsu", Danyang has what cards to play in addition to the "Capital of Glasses"

The Paper's reporter Yuan Jie

When it comes to Danyang, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, in addition to the "golden business card" of "Glasses Capital", what is impressive?

There used to be the label of "Southern Jiangsu Qiang County". In terms of total economic volume, Danyang ranks in the top ten in the economic province of Jiangsu, ranking first in the 6 districts and counties under the jurisdiction of Zhenjiang, but also "bearing the strength" in the surrounding areas. However, in recent years, Danyang has been constantly overtaken by rising stars such as Haimen in Suzhong, and the once leading position in the jianghu is in jeopardy.

Located in Danyang in southern Jiangsu, the economic volume accounts for about 1/3 of the city of Zhenjiang, which can be called the "regional eldest son" of Zhenjiang. Therefore, Danyang qiang is Zhenjiang qiang, and the development of Danyang is also related to the rise of Zhenjiang in the Shanghai-Nanjing line and the Yangtze River Delta. In February and March this year, shortly after Ma Minglong became the secretary of the new Zhenjiang Municipal Party Committee, he went to Danyang twice to investigate and put forward a new goal for Danyang to "compete for the south of Jiangsu and the Yangtze River Delta".

Towards the end of the year, what is the result of this "answer sheet"?

Huang Chunnian, secretary of the Danyang Municipal Party Committee, told the surging news (www.thepaper.cn) and other media that Danyang's "industrial strong city" strategy must not be shaken, in addition to making glasses, automobiles and parts and other traditional characteristic industries bigger and stronger, but also vigorously promote the rise of emerging industries such as biomedicine and medical equipment, new materials, etc., forming a "two-wheel drive" development trend.

Shoulder the responsibility of "returning to southern Jiangsu"

Danyang can be called an old star county and city in southern Jiangsu, especially the glasses industry as a landmark industry, forming a unique phenomenon of "Danyang one-day mirror tour".

According to Zhao Shunqun, deputy director of the Danyang Economic Development Bureau, as the "glasses capital of China", Danyang has more than 1,600 industrial and trade enterprises engaged in the glasses industry and related supporting facilities, with nearly 50,000 employees. At present, the annual output of frames in Danyang accounts for about 1/3 of the country, and the annual output of lenses accounts for 3/4 of the country and about 40% of the world.

Danyang glasses can continue to "shine" for forty years, stemming from continuous technical investment and iteration. For example, the well-known local Mingyue Lens, in cooperation with Zhuang Songlin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has established the first academician workstation and glasses optical engineering technology research center in the domestic lens industry. "Some major events were reported on the scene, such as the elevation measurement of Mount Everest, the 'Strivers' diving into the depth of 10,000 meters, and the CCTV live reporters wore our lenses." Xie Gongwan, chairman of the company, said.

However, behind the continuous scenery of "Danyang Glasses", Danyang's economy has encountered a series of challenges in recent years, and the local industrial transformation and upgrading has also encountered pains. In terms of total economic volume, Danyang originally ranked first in the first square of county-level cities in Jiangsu, but in the past two years, qidong, Rugao and other counties and cities managed by Nantong are staging a good play of "catching up later".

Therefore, how to revitalize the mighty wind and achieve "return to southern Jiangsu" is a key topic for Danyang decision-making level to think.

Aiming at the "Shanghai-Nanjing Line High Value-added Industrial Base", what to rely on

While accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, Danyang is also aiming at emerging industries. According to reports, in recent years, Danyang's new material industry has increased at an average annual rate of more than 30%, and more than 20 technologies have reached the international advanced level, which is expected to form a 100 billion-level industrial plate.

There is also the new energy industry. Huang Chunnian, secretary of the Danyang Municipal Party Committee, introduced in an exchange with reporters that Ding Jianmin, chairman of Leneng Battery, did home textiles in his early years and later devoted himself to the new energy industry. What if there is no core technology? Ding Jianmin "flew" again and again to study in major domestic universities, deep ploughing for ten years, and finally developed the world's smallest mass production of nano spherical lithium iron phosphate, which is an important raw material for new energy vehicle power equipment.

Similarly, after years of continuous cultivation, Yuyue Medical, which grew up in Danyang, is becoming a representative of the medical device industry. According to public reports, during the "war epidemic" in the first half of this year, through the increase of production lines, the daily production capacity of Yuyue Medical infrared thermometers increased from the original 8,000 units to 33,000 units, and the production capacity of infection control and disinfection products increased from 8 tons per day to 60 tons. At present, Yuyue Medical is determined to build a high-end medical device industry cluster with a voice in the world.

Huang Chunnian said that Danyang adheres to the strategy of "strong industrial city", adheres to the real economy, plays four hands of project construction, agglomeration, financial promotion and efficiency improvement, and creates a "Shanghai-Nanjing online high-value-added industrial base".

Integrate into Ning Zhenyang and dock with Su Xichang

Danyang is located in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, located in the center of the Shanghai-Nanjing Line, and from a geographical point of view, it is located in the intersection and superposition of the Shanghai Metropolitan Circle and the Nanjing Metropolitan Circle.

At the moment when the integration of the Yangtze River Delta has entered an accelerated period, Danyang has also ushered in a new opportunity of "left and right fengyuan". This is first of all due to the relatively complete comprehensive transportation system that Danyang already has. The Beijing-Shanghai and Shanghai-Nanjing railways all pass through Danyang, the Shanghai-Rong Expressway and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal run through the city, and Changzhou Airport is also located in the territory. Facing the "14th Five-Year Plan", "we are stepping up planning to integrate into Ning Zhenyang and dock with Su Xichang. Huang Chunnian said.

In terms of railways, the Yang (Zhou) Ma (Anshan) Intercity and Zhen (Jiang) Xuan (Cheng) Railway will set up Danyang West Railway Station on the Danyang Parallel Line. Danyang is also striving for a small intercity of "Shanghai -Sunan Shuofang Airport-Changzhou Benniu Airport", which can be extended to Nanjing Lukou International Airport through Danyang.

As an important industrial economic town in southern Jiangsu, Danyang will also play an important role in the rise of Zhenjiang's "industrial east wing", and is the industrial "bridgehead" for Zhenjiang to connect Su Xichang and Shanghai to the east. In addition, Danyang has also consulted with The Sino-Singapore Group, the main developer of suzhou industrial park, to explore cross-regional co-construction of the park and create a smart new city integrating industry and city.
