How do you view the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta? , 7 municipal party committee secretaries in the Yangtze River Delta

On November 5, 2018, at the opening ceremony of the first China International Import Expo held in Shanghai, General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly announced: "Support the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta region and upgrade it to a national strategy." This year is the year when the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta has been upgraded to a national strategy. In the first year of the "second five years" after the national strategy, in order to implement the spirit of the General Secretary's important instructions, Liberation Daily and Shangguan News launched a series of interviews with political figures in the cities in the Yangtze River Delta, interviewing comrades in charge of key cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and having in-depth discussions. Promote the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. Now we extract some essences from the series of interviews for readers.

Zhang Zhenfeng, Vice Governor of the People's Government of Zhejiang Province and Secretary of the Wenzhou Municipal Party Committee: This year, the symposium of major leaders in the Yangtze River Delta region will be held in Zhejiang and Wenzhou by rotation. This is a great trust and support for Wenzhou, and we are very grateful. From a geographical point of view, Wenzhou is not in the center of the Yangtze River Delta, but at the "South Gate" of the Yangtze River Delta. However, Wenzhou has always played an important role in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration and has unique value.

This year is the first year of the "Second Five Years". How can Wenzhou seize development opportunities, broaden development paths, and enhance development strength while deeply integrating into the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta? With this question in mind, we went to Shanghai, Suzhou, and Wuxi to study, visited neighbors’ homes, visited relatives and friends, and learned from the experience. On the one hand, we learned the truth about development. Only through strategic integration can we gain the upper hand, and we must take advantage of the momentum in "integrating into Greater Shanghai and integrating into the Yangtze River Delta"; only by deeply cultivating the manufacturing industry can we stand up, and must be firm in the direction of strengthening the manufacturing industry; only by being determined to innovate can we win the future. , we must unswervingly follow the path of talent-led innovation and innovation-driven development; only openness and tolerance can lead the way, and we must build a city with the best business environment with an open mind and courage; only by daring to venture and fight can we open a new chapter, and we must Let cadres "take the lead" to lead the high-quality development of "thousands of horses galloping". On the other hand, this inspection broadened the integration path and deepened regional strategic cooperation. In particular, it reached a series of substantive cooperation with Shanghai to strengthen cooperation in the automobile industry chain and opened up new space for cross-regional innovation and collaboration. Many Wenzhou people invest and start businesses in Jiading. When the relevant officials in Jiading saw us, they said kindly: "Many of your Wenzhou enterprises are our service targets."

Li Zhong, Vice Governor of the People's Government of Anhui Province and Secretary of the Xuancheng Party Committee: The most important direction of Xuancheng's development is to integrate into Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After the Shanghai-Suzhou-Huzhou high-speed railway opens at the end of this year, it will open up an extremely important central corridor for Shanghai to radiate to the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta and even the central and western regions. Xuancheng is basically within an hour's high-speed train ride from the four central cities of Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou, and is located at the radiation intersection center of the four urban areas. As an important node city in the Shanghai-Suzhou-Huxuan Development Corridor, Xuancheng will build a comprehensive transportation hub city in the west wing of the Shanghai metropolitan area to better transform its location advantages into development success.

In order to link the resources of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Xuancheng has made every effort to promote the construction of the Yangtze River Delta Industrial Cooperation Zone since last year, of which the Guangde area faces Shanghai, Hangzhou and Huzhou, the Xuanzhou area faces Nanjing, and the Langxi area faces Changzhou and Wuxi. Changhe District has been included in the national key construction projects for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta in 2024. Xuancheng is working hard to build Changhe District into a "new landmark" for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, a "gathering place" for emerging industries, and a "test field" for reform and opening up. .

Wu Xinming, Secretary of the Nantong Municipal Party Committee: After working in Nantong, I have been thinking about how to make good use of the national strategy for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. After in-depth research and thinking, we learned from the experience of the Yangtze River Delta Ecological Green Integrated Development Demonstration Zone, actively supported the construction of Shanghai's "18" metropolitan area, and advocated the joint construction of industrial innovation collaborative zones in the adjacent areas of Nantong, Suzhou and Shanghai at the Yangtze River Estuary. From the current point of view, the collaborative zone is to serve the cross-regional collaboration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation in the Yangtze River Delta. Nantong belongs to the one-hour commuting circle of Shanghai. Its total economic volume has reached a trillion level. It has obvious comprehensive advantages such as industrial foundation, development space, and transportation location. It can become an industrial collaboration base for Shanghai and southern Jiangsu, and the first choice for optimizing productivity layout in the Yangtze River Delta. Better help the Yangtze River Delta build a world-class industrial cluster. In the long run, the collaborative zone requires each region to complement its strengths and strengthen cooperation to jointly create a new productive capacity in the Yangtze River Delta, a test field for institutional innovation, and a model area for integrated development. It will fully serve Shanghai to play its leading role and promote the northern and southern wings of the Yangtze River Delta to become more complete and more comprehensive. balanced development.

Ma Minglong, Secretary of the Zhenjiang Municipal Party Committee: When it comes to our relationship with Shanghai, we always say three things: learn from Shanghai, connect with Shanghai, and serve Shanghai. At the same time, Zhenjiang is an important member of the Nanjing metropolitan area. Its biggest advantages are that it is the closest to Nanjing, has the tightest contact services, the most direct radiation, the most convenient sharing of resources, and the best foundation for coordinated development.

For Zhenjiang, Shanghai and Nanjing are both "peaks". We focus on "reaching both sides" and integrate the "small triangle" of Ning and Zhenjiang into the "big triangle" of the Yangtze River Delta. Conceptually, we should actively embrace and achieve a two-pronged approach and learn from each other; in terms of actions, we should use the ladder to climb higher, rely on the rise of the two "peaks" of Shanghai and Nanjing, identify our own advantageous links in the Yangtze River Delta industrial chain, and develop in a dislocated manner. , win-win cooperation, and let Zhenjiang’s “hillside” continue to rise.

Jiaxing Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chen Wei: Jiaxing is a typical plain city. What we talk about most is "connecting Shanghai, Lianhang and Hangzhou". Each county and city under its jurisdiction is very strong. Some netizens jokingly call Jiaxing a "bulk city". At the same time, Jiaxing has a relatively high level of urban-rural integration. The urban and rural environments are both very good and not far apart. This brings us to another highlight of Jiaxing's development - common prosperity. In the "Greater Jiaxing" construction blueprint, Jiaxing will adhere to and deepen the "Ten Million Project" in the new era, accelerate the construction of the National Urban-rural Integrated Development Pilot Zone, and further consolidate the good development trend of "prosperous city" on the left and "harmony and beautiful countryside" on the right.

The construction of "Greater Jiaxing" is not only an inherent need for its own development, but also for better participation in regional cooperation. "Bulk" has no advantages, and only "integration" has a future. To this end, Jiaxing will focus on the Yangtze River Delta, integrate Greater Jiaxing, and build a strong main urban area.

Ling Yun, Secretary of the Huangshan Municipal Party Committee: In the "Greater Huangshan" circle of friends, in accordance with the arrangements of Anhui Province, we have established the "Greater Huangshan Office". Following the practices of the Yangtze River Delta, the four cities in the "Greater Huangshan Mountains" take turns taking charge every year, holding symposiums with main leaders or work coordination meetings, and moving around frequently and communicating more. At present, Huangshan's circle of friends is getting bigger and bigger. With the establishment of Huangshan's high-speed rail hub status, Huangshan's connection with the Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will become even closer.

In the Yangtze River Delta friends circle, Huangshan regards the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta as the "top priority" for economic and social development. In the context of the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, Hangzhou and Huangshan have relied on major national cooperation platforms such as the Xin'an River-Qiandao Lake Ecological Environment Joint Protection Cooperation Zone and the Hangzhou-Huangzhou World-class Natural Ecology and Cultural Tourism Corridor to focus on infrastructure interconnection. Cooperation has achieved remarkable results in terms of interoperability, joint protection and management of ecological environment, coordinated development of industries, in-depth integration of culture and tourism, and joint construction of social undertakings.

Ningbo, Secretary of the Wuhu Municipal Party Committee: As the "bridgehead" connecting Anhui to Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Wuhu is not only a participant and beneficiary of the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, but also an implementer and contributor. Wuhu is continuing to promote collaborative efforts with Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in science and technology innovation and industry. In order to make better use of the rich innovation resources in the Yangtze River Delta, Wuhu purchased land in Songjiang District, Shanghai and built its own Wuhu Industrial Innovation Center. This is Anhui's first science and technology innovation enclave in Shanghai. At the same time, Wuhu is deeply involved in the industrial division of labor and cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta, taking the lead in forming the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor Robot Industry Alliance, the General Aviation Industry Alliance, the Yangtze River Delta Express Logistics Intelligent Equipment Industry Alliance, and establishing a regional industrial technology alliance for new energy automobile manufacturing.

Wuhu is promoting the docking of ideas with Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. We are well aware that the biggest gap with the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang first-mover regions is the ideological gap. First of all, we should integrate with the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang first-mover regions in terms of ideological concepts, working methods, and systems and mechanisms, and always review according to the standards of the first-mover regions. , measure every work, promptly study the reform and innovation policy documents and work measures in the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang first-progress areas, and formulate the corresponding "Wuhu Plan", task lists and construction drawings based on actual research, and deeply study innovative ideas, ways of thinking, Idea play.
