Promote the coordinated development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei to continuously reach new heights (High Quality Development Research Tour)

On the coast of Bohai, there is surging development momentum; On the land of Yan and Zhao, the strong east wind blows together.

As one of the three important driving forces leading high-quality development in the country, the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region has significant geographical advantages. The coordinated development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei is steadily advancing in a broad spatial and temporal dimension; The cadres and masses of the three regions are constantly striving on the road of struggle, writing a new chapter of high-quality development in the new era.

In 2022, the total economic output of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region exceeded 10 trillion yuan and achieved impressive results.

Reduce the difference in potential energy and increase the sum of kinetic energy

For a period of time, "Beijing cannot eat, Tianjin cannot eat enough, and Hebei cannot eat.". How to break down barriers of interest and administrative barriers, and truly turn the "potential difference" in the development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei into a "sum of kinetic energy"?

As a result, the coordinated development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei has become a national strategy.

Taking "sparsity" as "progress" and "reduction" to improve "quality". The coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei firmly holds the "bull nose" of relieving Beijing's non capital functions.

Nowadays, the once bustling wholesale market of Beijing Zoo has undergone a magnificent transformation and is accelerating the construction of a carrier for the integrated development of finance and technology industries. This change is a microcosm of Beijing's reduced development. Beijing has become the first mega city in China to undergo reduced development, and the functions of the capital continue to be optimized and improved.

The Beijing Tianjin Hebei region is like the petals of a flower, with different petals but concentric petals. Collaborative innovation and industrial collaboration are the key support and physical content of the coordinated development of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region.

"Every Tuesday, I come back with the R&D plan from the Beijing headquarters to complete the trial production and mass production of products in Baodi." said Nan Xiaowei, Product Director of Tianjin Xinsong Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. In recent years, Xinsong Intelligent has shifted its production line to the Jingjin Zhongguancun Science and Technology City in Baodi District, Tianjin. "Beijing's technological innovation advantages are closely combined with Tianjin's advanced manufacturing R&D advantages, allowing the company to enter the 'fast lane'."

At present, the Beijing Tianjin Zhongguancun Science and Technology City has initially formed four major industrial clusters: new generation information technology, high-end equipment manufacturing, new energy and materials, biopharmaceuticals and medical devices, and has formed an industrial chain synergy with Beijing Zhongguancun, gradually evolving towards the construction of supporting infrastructure for major project components in Beijing. Since the implementation of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei coordinated development strategy, Tianjin has attracted over 7000 investment projects from Beijing enterprises and received over 1.2 trillion yuan in funds.

At Hebei Lansheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. in Jinzhou City, Hebei Province, staff are conducting remote control through the intelligent central control room. Not far away, the machines in the fully automated production workshop continue to operate, and batches of enoxazone raw material products are sold abroad from here.

Enoxazone is a herbicide with a complex chemical structure and numerous production processes. "Thanks to the in-depth promotion of the coordinated development strategy of Beijing Tianjin Hebei, the company cooperated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2018 to effectively overcome technical problems and achieve continuous production through innovation. The sales revenue in the past three years totaled 1.9 billion yuan," said Yuan Ligang, general manager of the company.

In recent years, Hebei has taken the initiative to connect with Beijing Tianjin resources, accelerate collaborative innovation, and continuously promote high-quality development by implementing special projects for the transformation of major scientific and technological achievements, accelerating the diffusion of common technological achievements in the industry, and incentivizing technology transfer institutions to provide services. In 2022, Hebei Province absorbed a total of 40.3 billion yuan in technology contract transactions from Beijing and Tianjin, a year-on-year increase of nearly 14%.

The sun and moon move forward, and the laws of the year are renewed.

With the acceleration of collaborative innovation and industrial collaboration, the flow of technology and funds in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region is becoming increasingly frequent, and personnel and resource exchanges are becoming increasingly close. From 2013 to 2022, Beijing's output of Tianjin Hebei technology contracts increased from 3176 to 5881, and the transaction volume increased from 7.12 billion yuan to 35.69 billion yuan.

For over 9 years, the horn of coordinated development in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region has been continuously sounded, and the forces of development have been constantly gathering. Beijing is gradually shifting from being "large and comprehensive" to "high-precision and cutting-edge", Tianjin is effectively consolidating "good development" with "attracting", and Hebei is continuously achieving "upgrading and jumping" with "receiving".

Building a new pattern through collaborative development

Promoting high-quality development requires a unified strategy for the whole country. It is necessary to plan a domain from a global perspective, as well as to serve the entire world with a domain.

Based on an area of 216000 square kilometers, set sail on the vast waves of the Bohai Sea. Whether from the perspective of domestic location or international longitude and latitude, the pattern and weather of Beijing Tianjin Hebei are incredibly vast.

"As a pioneer and demonstration of regional coordinated development strategy, the coordinated development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei bears the historical mission of serving the construction of a new development pattern," said Zhang Gui, Secretary General of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei Collaborative Development Research Institute at Nankai University.

By the Bohai Bay, the whistle is melodious.

The "green" power supply landing gear, Beidou navigation loading and unloading vehicles, and Tianjin Port's "smart zero carbon" dock are all bustling with activity.

Since its official operation in October 2021, this world's first "smart zero carbon" terminal has a throughput of over 1.5 million containers, with over half of the goods coming from the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region.

"After the opening of the Bohai Rim branch line, it has saved us 20% of costs and greatly improved the competitiveness of our products in the southern market." said Sun Jian, Deputy General Manager of Hebei Zhengyuan Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. About 30% of their main products are transferred through Tianjin Port to Fujian and other places.

As the "maritime gateway" of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, in recent years, Tianjin Port has continued to make efforts in promoting high-quality regional development and building a new development pattern of service architecture.

At present, Tianjin Port has opened container trains to operate in Pinggu, Beijing, built the Xiong'an New Area Service Center of Tianjin Port Group, and opened sea rail intermodal trains to Xingtai, Gaoyi and other places in Hebei. In the past four years, the annual average transportation volume of Tianjin Port's Bohai Rim branch line has increased by more than 50%.

Open up the major arteries and smooth microcirculation. With the acceleration of the formation of the "Beijing Tianjin Hebei on the track", the total length of regional operational railways has reached 10933 kilometers, and the main cities in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region have basically formed a 1 to 1.5 hour transportation circle.

"In global coordinates, the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region plays an important role in promoting high-quality national development and expanding external circulation," said Zhang Gui.

Huanghua Port, as an important hub port for transporting coal from the west to the east and from the north to the south in China, is connected with the "the Belt and Road". The shuttle ships reflect not only the vitality of the Chinese market, but also the strong charm of the "the Belt and Road" initiative.

"At present, Huanghua Port has opened 35 domestic and foreign trade routes, and has joined the World Logistics Passport Program, connecting more than 40 countries and regions as well as more than 200 domestic and foreign ports," said Chu Lijun, Deputy General Manager of Hebei Cangzhou Port Group.

When the momentum rises, it does not fall, and new tides surge along the Bohai Bay. As the sun rises and sets, every day cargo ships loaded with containers depart from Huanghua Port and head towards Tianjin Port. From the opening of the "Tiantian Ban" sea express line between Tianjin Port and Huanghua Port, to the emergence of more cooperation models and new routes, in recent years, the cooperation between ports in Tianjin and Hebei has been continuously deepening, working together to create a world-class port group with Tianjin Port as the core and Hebei Port as the wings. The "Maritime Beijing Tianjin Hebei" transportation channel is constantly weaving and extending, like a microcosm, telling the story of the deep service construction of a new development pattern for the coordinated development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei.

Enhancing the well-being of the people and promoting common prosperity

"Achieving common prosperity for all people" is one of the essential requirements of Chinese path to modernization summarized in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Promoting the coordinated development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei should ultimately be reflected in enhancing people's well-being and promoting common prosperity.

The key focus of regional coordinated development strategies such as the coordinated development of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region is to address the issue of imbalanced and insufficient development.

What should we do?

Maintain strategic clarity in collaboration and enhance tactical initiative in seeking change.

On the west side of the Beijing Xiong'an Expressway in Xiong'an, the comprehensive service center of the start-up area with a total construction area of approximately 3332 square meters stands tall. The architectural style of Han and Tang dynasties, coupled with efficient and orderly coordination work, effectively creates a "golden business card" for Xiong'an to provide registration, land supply, approval, and construction services for Beijing's relocation targets. Making new residents willing to come, stay stable, and live well is the commitment and action of the service center.

In the Rongdong area, the human resources service industrial park in the early morning welcomes visitors from all directions. The hall has specially opened up the acceptance authority of the new district and the three counties, which can provide one-stop convenient services for enterprises and talents entering the park and employment, effectively serving to ensure the needs of people's livelihood.

In today's Xiong'an, blueprints are used to create construction plans, and tremendous changes are giving rise to new developments day by day. The "Four Horizontals and Ten Verticals" backbone road network in the starting area has been fully started, the underground city is accelerating its formation, and the "Cloud on Xiong'an" has been preliminarily built... A city of people and happiness based on the "millennium plan" is rising from the ground.

Since the implementation of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei coordinated development strategy, in accordance with the cooperation agreement, Beijing has continuously promoted the sharing of high-quality basic education resources in primary and secondary schools with Hebei. Through a "turnkey" approach, it actively supports the construction of Beihai Kindergarten, Shijia Hutong Primary School, Beijing No. 4 Middle School, and Xuanwu Hospital in Xiong'an New Area, and continuously deepens cooperation in the teaching staff, discipline construction, and achievement transformation of universities in the region. It is reported that in September this year, the first batch of students were welcomed to the kindergartens, primary schools, and middle schools in Xiong'an New Area, which were aided by Beijing.

Education is not only a livelihood project, but also a popular project.

"I never expected to receive such high-quality education in our county town," said Xiao Ruizhen, a 2020 student majoring in Automotive Application and Maintenance at Tianjin Vocational University Weixian Branch in Hebei. In 2020, the first cross provincial and city "five-year consistent system" talent training model in China was implemented at the Weixian Branch of Tianjin Vocational University.

In recent years, Tianjin has effectively leveraged the advantages of the National Modern Vocational Education Reform and Innovation Demonstration Zone, continuously delivering high-quality educational resources to Hebei, and building a professional group that meets the needs of industrial development in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region.

"We will focus on the current shortage and urgent professional and future industrial development direction in Hebei Province, especially in Xiong'an New Area, and jointly cultivate more high-quality technical and skilled talents," said Li Li, Director of the Vocational Education Department of the Tianjin Municipal Education Commission.

Supporting high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment and accelerating the modernization of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. On the banks of the Dayun River in the sub center of Beijing, the dynamic ecology of water, the culture infused with the fragrance of books, and the thriving economy all showcase the happy and beautiful life of the people in the sub center of the city.

Recently, three iconic livelihood construction projects, including the "Cultural Granary" Grand Theater, the "Forest Book Garden" Library, and the "Canal Boat" Museum, have entered the final sprint stage in the urban sub center. The green building standards and colorful cultural heritage facilities continuously add color to the lives of residents in the bustling sub center.

The protection of ecological civilization, like the coordinated development of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, is not a single domain task, a primary responsibility, or a temporary achievement. It must be coordinated, coordinated, and long-term efforts.

In Xiaobazi Township, Fengning Manchu Autonomous County, Hebei Province, the former sand dunes have become oases. As a former source of sand in Beijing and Tianjin, in recent years, Fengning has actively built a "green barrier" for sand prevention in Beijing and Tianjin by relying on key ecological projects such as the control of wind and sand sources in Beijing and Tianjin.

From point to surface, point to surface progress together. High quality development brings people's well-being.

Under the coordinated governance of Beijing Tianjin Hebei, the average concentration of PM2.5 in the region decreased by over 63% in 2022 compared to 2013; The area of desertified land in Hebei has decreased by 7.38 million mu compared to the data released in 1999.

Jointly build a "chain" of industrial cooperation, weave a "network" of internal and external connections, jointly build a "forest" of green protection, and jointly draw a "map" of people's livelihood guarantee

The transformation of still waters and deep currents often lies deep in the flowing rivers of the times. From planning coordinated development, leading high-quality development, and demonstrating the construction of Chinese path to modernization, Beijing Tianjin Hebei is drawing a new picture of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
