Strengthening Modern Industries and Smooth Economic Circulation (High Quality Development Research Tour) Development | Shandong | Economy

The bank of the Yellow River, the foot of Mount Taishan Mountain, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius... Shandong is a place of great talent and outstanding strategic position, which is inherited from yesterday; "Leading the way and opening a new chapter" is a glorious mission bestowed upon us by the new era.

"Shandong is currently in a critical period of strategic transformation from being large to being strong. To advance in serving and integrating into the new development pattern, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system," said Xu Wen, spokesperson for the Shandong Provincial Government.

Relying on the real economy to establish a province, Shandong has all 41 industrial categories and consistently ranks among the top in the country in terms of GDP. With a solid foundation, a complete structure, and a large total output, Shandong has great potential to lead the way.

Walking in Shandong, one can always feel the surging momentum of manufacturing development. Zibo, the sales of collaborative robots produced by Aobo Intelligent Robotics Company are leading nationwide; In Qingdao, the first phase of the artificial intelligence computing center achieved a computing power of 100P, and the world's first high-speed maglev transportation system with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour was successfully launched; Yantai, Dongfang Aerospace Port, attracts an industry cluster with a rocket, strengthens the traditional industry chain, extends the advantageous industry chain, and builds the emerging industry chain. Shandong has launched a "combination punch", accelerating the transformation of new and old driving forces.

"As a major industrial province, Shandong coordinates the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, the development and growth of emerging industries, and future industry planning, effectively shouldering the responsibility of manufacturing industry development, and consolidating the industrial foundation for integration into the new development pattern." Sun Laibin, Deputy Director of the Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission, said, "To achieve high-level self-reliance, serve and integrate into the new development pattern."

Looking at the land of Qilu, emerging industries are determined to "strengthen their muscles and bones", while traditional industries are striving to "transform" themselves, surging with the spring tide of "smart" manufacturing; Cracking the bottleneck and bravely venturing into uninhabited areas are inspiring the spirit of technological self-reliance and self-improvement.

Boding Jinggong Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., located in Fangzi District, Weifang City, is a high-end intelligent agricultural machinery equipment enterprise. Its independently developed advanced agricultural equipment hydraulic intelligent control system has broken foreign technological monopolies and successfully opened up the European and American markets.

"Opening up the European and American markets not only relies on the products themselves. The project was built, delivered, and put into operation in the same year, with revenue exceeding 100 million yuan. Thanks to the district's' project full cycle service 'mechanism, we can invest more energy in research and development and production," said Wang Lifeng, the chairman of the company.

In Shandong, there are over 26000 such high-tech enterprises. It is reported that in 20 fields such as smart transportation, fine chemicals, and fuel cells, Shandong's technological innovation is at the forefront in China.

Agriculture is also at the forefront. Entering the Danhe Facility Vegetable Standardized Production Demonstration Park in Shouguang City, the colorful agricultural products are very attractive, but surprisingly, each seed is one after another.

"This bag of seeds, totaling 1000 seeds, costs about 700 yuan per bag. Calculated based on a box of 500 bags, it is worth about 350000 yuan." Cheng Lin, Deputy General Manager of Shouguang Vegetable Seed Industry Group, picked up a bag of tomato seeds called "Zhangxiaobai" and showed it to reporters, attracting praise for "one box of seeds can be exchanged for one car.".

Shouguang is building a comprehensive service base for the national vegetable industry, and the vegetable industry is undergoing a comprehensive transformation from planting and selling vegetables to exporting technology, standards, and models. The integration of the three industries and the integration of urban and rural areas are becoming increasingly evident. This is a manifestation of Shandong fully leveraging the important role of rural areas as consumer markets and factor markets.

In recent years, Shandong has focused on promoting coordinated development between urban and rural areas, promoting economic circulation between urban and rural areas, and promoting agricultural cooperation with foreign countries, achieving fruitful results. Last year, the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery in Shandong reached 1.2 trillion yuan, and the export value of agricultural products has been leading for 24 consecutive years.

Serving and integrating into the new development pattern, Shandong, as an open province, has geographical advantages: the road and railway networks are well connected, and the coastline length advantage is obvious

Looking east, Qingdao Port has opened multiple new direct routes to North America; Yantai Port has set a new record for the volume of foreign trade commodity vehicle and vessel operations at Shandong Port. Looking to the west, the China Europe Express runs directly from Shandong to 24 countries along the "the Belt and Road", and the cumulative number of runs ranks first in the country.

"We will continue to focus on expanding opening up, creating strategic fulcrums for a new development pattern, and deeply exploring and expanding the potential for high-quality development," said Sun Laibin.

The data records the footsteps of Shandong's openness, and the details highlight the open atmosphere of Shandong. "In order to achieve the high standard planning of 'global vision and international standards', we have invited more than 10 teams from multiple countries to deeply participate in the planning and design of Jinan's new and old kinetic energy conversion starting area." said Niu Xiaoyu, Deputy Minister of Planning and Natural Resources of the Starting Area Management Committee.

The synergy between supply and demand, the complementarity of old and new driving forces, the competition for technological innovation, the integration of urban and rural regional development, and the upgrading of opening up to the outside world... Shandong is striving to be ahead in serving and integrating into the new development pattern with a proud attitude.
