Shangguan interviews Jiaxing Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chen Wei: Is Jiaxing “bulk”?
This year is the sixth year that the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta has been elevated to a 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 Yangtze River Delta cities, interviewing responsible comrades in key cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui to discuss how to further promote the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
"We came from Shanghai and Hangzhou respectively, and it only takes more than 20 minutes to get to Jiaxing at the fastest time, which is very convenient." Chen Wei, secretary of the Jiaxing Municipal Party Committee, naturally had a deep understanding of this reporter's observation: "Indeed, Jiaxing is located between Shanghai and Hangzhou Between the two major metropolitan areas, the location is relatively special and superior. ”
Changing the topic, Chen Wei pointed out that it is particularly crucial for Jiaxing to turn this location advantage into a development advantage. The key point is to develop a set of unique combinations, and forge "one skill" by upgrading the city's energy level, strengthening leading industries, optimizing public services, etc., so that it can remain invincible.
Jiaxing is close to Shanghai, which can be said to be geographically close, popular and economically integrated. When General Secretary Xi Jinping was working in Zhejiang, he gave Jiaxing the important mission of being a "bridgehead" to Shanghai and a "gateway" to Shanghai's radiation. In 2017, Jiaxing was approved to establish a demonstration zone for Zhejiang Province’s comprehensive integration with Shanghai; in 2019, after the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta was elevated to a national strategy, Jiaxing took full integration into the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta as the first strategy to promote high-quality development, promoting Shanghai-Jiaxing Cooperation has achieved a series of new progress and new results. Now, the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta has entered its second "five years". Chen Wei said that Jiaxing will continue to take advantage of being backed by Shanghai and facing the sea, and make every effort to "connect with Greater Shanghai, integrate into the Yangtze River Delta, and jointly promote integration." new chapter.
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. Data show that the income of farmers in Jiaxing has remained first in Zhejiang Province for 20 consecutive years, with an urban-rural income ratio of 1.53:1. It is one of the regions with the most balanced urban-rural development in Zhejiang and even the country. 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, gather together Greater Jiaxing, and build a strong main urban area. Focusing on the Yangtze River Delta, we must consciously place Jiaxing in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, Shanghai metropolitan area and other major national regional layouts to consider, plan and build; converging Greater Jiaxing means playing the entire Jiaxing as a "big chess" , clench your fingers into a fist, form a synergy, and amplify the overall advantage; to build a strong main urban area, you must enhance the central urban area's factor agglomeration, comprehensive carrying capacity, and city centripetal force to accelerate the "rise of the center."
