Balance the weight of a feather-coordinated economic and social development to a new level
Original title: New development concept leads high-quality development, and a feather will be balanced — — Coordinated economic and social development has reached a new level.
The proportion of central and western regions’ GDP in the whole country increased from 21.3% and 19.6% in 2012 to 22% and 21.1% in 2021. The economic growth rate in the central and western regions has been higher than that in the eastern region for many years in a row, and the coordinated regional development has taken on a new look.
In 2021, the added value of China’s tertiary industry accounted for 53.3% of the gross domestic product (GDP), an increase of 7.8 percentage points over 2012, and the industrial structure became more coordinated.
In 2021, the per capita disposable income of rural residents more than doubled compared with 2012, and nearly 100 million rural poor people were all lifted out of poverty under China’s current standards. The income gap between urban and rural residents has further narrowed.
Groups of numbers witness ten years of change. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s regional development pattern has been reshaped, the industrial structure has been more coordinated and optimized, and urban-rural integration has been vigorously promoted. Under the guidance of the concept of coordinated development, people and nature, economy and society, economic foundation and superstructure are coordinated, and efficiency and fairness, local and overall situation, current and long-term are taken into account. The coordination and sustainability of China’s development have been significantly enhanced, which has continuously injected momentum into the high-quality economic development.
Major strategies lead regional coordinated development.
From Zhangjiakou, Hebei to Shaoguan, Guangdong, from Zhongwei, Ningxia to Liangjiang New District, Chongqing, the construction of 10 national data center clusters is accelerating, and the national computing power "one network" is accelerated. In February, 2022, the national project of "Computing from the East to the West" was officially launched. This is an important measure to guide the computing power demand from the east to the west in an orderly manner, optimize the layout of data center construction, and promote the coordinated linkage between the east and the west. It is also a microcosm for the central and western regions to seize opportunities and accelerate development in recent years.
Seek power in the overall situation, and fall in the key points. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s regional coordinated development has made historic achievements and changes by establishing and improving the system and mechanism of regional coordinated development and promoting the formation of a regional economic layout with complementary advantages and high-quality development.
— — In the past ten years, the coordination of regional development in China has been gradually enhanced, and the gap between the east and the west has been continuously narrowed.
In 2021, the GDP of the central and western regions of China reached 25 trillion yuan and 24 trillion yuan respectively, an increase of 13.5 trillion yuan and 13.3 trillion yuan compared with 2012; The per capita GDP ratio of the eastern and central and western regions decreased from 1.69 and 1.87 in 2012 to 1.53 and 1.68 in 2021, respectively. The economic growth rate in the central and western regions has also been higher than that in the eastern region for many years.
In 2021, the per capita disposable income of residents in the central region and the western region exceeded 27,000 yuan and 29,000 yuan respectively, double that of ten years ago. The per capita disposable income ratio of residents in the eastern, northeastern, central and western regions decreased from 1.7, 1.29 and 1.1 in 2013 to 1.63, 1.11 and 1.07 in 2021 respectively.
In addition, the growth rate of per capita total retail sales of consumer goods in the central and western regions is faster than that in the eastern region, the eastern industries continue to shift to the central and western regions, the employment opportunities and attractiveness in the central and western regions are increasing, and the number of migrant workers migrating across provinces is significantly reduced.
— — In the past ten years, guided by major strategies and based on their own comparative advantages, the growth poles have gradually risen.
From the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Collaborative Development Plan to the Yangtze River Economic Belt Development Plan, from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Plan to the Yangtze River Delta Regional Integration Development Plan … … In the past ten years, a series of major regional strategic development plans and implementation plans have gradually landed.
"China’s coordinated regional development has explored a new path led by major regional strategies." Liu Yunzhong, a researcher at the Development Strategy and Regional Economic Research Department of the State Council Development Research Center, said.
"In 2021, the GDP of the nine cities of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Mainland reached 9.6 trillion yuan, 27.6 trillion yuan and 10.1 trillion yuan respectively, and the total amount exceeded 40% of the whole country, which played an important role in the national economic ballast stone, high-quality development power source and reform experimental field." Xiao Weiming, director of the regional department of the National Development and Reform Commission, introduced it at a special press conference held recently.
— — In the past ten years, both the accessibility of infrastructure and the equalization of basic public services have been significantly improved.
A developed high-speed rail network with "four verticals and four horizontals" as the main skeleton and "eight verticals and eight horizontals" has been formed. The three major urban agglomerations of Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei are connected into a network, and the four major plates of high-speed rail in the east, middle, west and northeast are all interconnected. At the same time, the total mileage of railways in the central and western regions has reached 90,000 kilometers, accounting for nearly 60% of the national proportion. The scale of expressways and national and provincial trunk highways under construction in the western region exceeds the sum of the eastern and central regions, and some provinces have achieved high-speed communication between counties.
The ratio of students to teachers in compulsory education in the eastern, central and western regions is basically the same, and the number of beds in medical and health institutions per thousand people in the central and western regions exceeds that in the eastern region. More than 540 million people participated in the basic old-age insurance for urban and rural residents, and more than 1.36 billion people participated in the basic medical insurance.
"This decade is the best decade for regional coordinated development in China." Wang Kai, president of China Urban Planning and Design Institute, said that a series of major policies have greatly promoted the development of different regions in the eastern, central and western regions. With the accelerated construction of the new development pattern, the regional economic layout has entered an accelerated period of development.
Transformation and upgrading promote industrial structure optimization.
According to the latest data from Tianyancha, as of September 29th, this year, about 177,000 enterprises related to new energy vehicles, over 38,000 enterprises related to industrial robots, about 99,000 enterprises related to photovoltaics and 45,000 enterprises related to chips have been newly registered. The average monthly growth rate of new registrations of related enterprises in the above fields is over 30%.
The change of the number of newly registered enterprises in many emerging industries has become a window to observe the optimization and upgrading of China’s industrial structure.
According to Gao Rui, an associate researcher in china enterprise confederation, overall, China’s industrial structure has been continuously adjusted and optimized for three times in the past decade. The basic position of the primary industry has been continuously stabilized, the innovation drive of the secondary industry has been further promoted, and the key areas of the tertiary industry have flourished. The data shows that the tertiary industrial structure has been adjusted from 9.1∶45.4∶45.5 in 2012 to 7.3∶39.4∶53.3 in 2021.
At the same time, within China’s manufacturing industry and service industry, the structure continues to improve: the equipment manufacturing industry and high-tech manufacturing industry have developed rapidly and become the new force of the secondary industry. From 2013 to 2021, the added value of the secondary industry increased by 6.0% annually; The average annual growth rate of added value of high-tech manufacturing industry and equipment manufacturing industry above designated size reached 11.7% and 9.2% respectively, which was significantly higher than the average annual growth rate of 6.4% in manufacturing industry.
The leading role of the eastern region has been continuously enhanced, the role of the advanced manufacturing base in the central region has become more prominent, and the industry in the western region has maintained a rapid growth trend … … The regional development of manufacturing industry is also more coordinated. The data shows that in 2021, the number of high-tech enterprises in Northeast China increased by nearly 10,000 compared with 2016, and the number of industrial strategic emerging enterprises in Liaoning doubled compared with 2017.
The development quality of the tertiary industry has been continuously improved. New generation technologies such as information and communication, Internet and big data have gradually emerged, and modern service industries and emerging service industries have developed rapidly. From 2013 to 2021, the average annual growth rate of the added value of the tertiary industry reached 7.4%, which was 0.8 percentage points higher than the average annual growth rate of GDP. New technologies, new industries, new formats and new business models have emerged in an endless stream, and the proportion of emerging service industries in GDP has increased significantly.
"With the wide application of a new generation of information technology, different industries, especially advanced manufacturing and modern service industries, will present a symbiotic situation of mutual support, integration, interaction and interdependence." Gao Rui said.
Coordinated development between urban and rural areas has reached a new level.
In 2021, the per capita disposable income of rural residents was 18,931 yuan, an increase of 125.7% over 2012, and the production and living standards of farmers reached a big step;
The conversion rate of agricultural products processing in China reached 70.6%, the primary, secondary and tertiary industries in rural areas were deeply integrated, new industries and formats such as leisure and sightseeing and rural e-commerce flourished, and rural innovation and entrepreneurship continued to flourish in generate.
The proportion of rural domestic garbage collected, transported and treated in natural villages reached over 90%, an increase of 60 percentage points over 2012. Rural construction changes with each passing day.
The gap between urban and rural areas has always been a major problem to be solved in China’s coordinated development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has actively promoted the new urbanization strategy with people as the core and fully implemented the rural revitalization strategy, which has played an important role in narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas and improving the level of coordinated development between urban and rural areas. In the past ten years, the coordinated development of urban and rural integration in China has achieved remarkable results.
What attracts the attention of the world is that under the current standards, nearly 100 million rural poor people have all been lifted out of poverty, and 832 poverty-stricken counties and 128,000 poverty-stricken villages have all taken off their hats — — China has embarked on a road of poverty reduction with China characteristics and created a miracle.
Getting rid of poverty is not the end, and rural revitalization is taking advantage of the situation. "Thirty-three transitional convergence policies were introduced and implemented, and the dynamic monitoring and assistance mechanism to prevent returning to poverty was fully established. 160 key rural revitalization counties were identified and continued to support them, keeping the bottom line of not returning to poverty on a large scale." Deng Xiaogang, deputy minister of agriculture and rural affairs, said.
Rural revitalization and new urbanization are driven by two wheels and developed in coordination, and the urban-rural layout structure is constantly improved, and the urban-rural development pattern with unique characteristics and mutual reflection between rural areas and modern towns is accelerated … …
"A thousand miles will be a feather, and the weight is balanced." In the past ten years, the development gap between the east and the west has narrowed, and major strategies have led to more coordinated regional development; Under the guidance of high-quality development, the industrial structure has been continuously upgraded and the industrial development has become more coordinated; The concept of green development is deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and the development of man and nature is more coordinated; The battle against poverty has won an all-round victory, and urban and rural development has become more coordinated … …
Looking ahead, the harmonious movement of coordinated development will continue to play on the land of China. (Reporter Liang Qian Zhang Mo)
