Shandong's "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Integrated Development of the Jiaodong Economic Circle" proposes that the integrated development of Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai, Weifang, Rizhao and other cities in the Jiaodong Economic Circle should be accelerated, and the cooperation mechanism should be perfect, the elements flowing efficiently, the development vitality strong, and the radiation A regional development community with significant effects, building an internationally renowned Qingdao metropolitan area, and building a strong engine of high-quality development in the province.

With the gradual acceleration of infrastructure connectivity, the cross-regional integration and development of the five Jiaodong cities continues to accelerate.

After the Spring Festival, Qingdao City in Shandong Province, while preventing and controlling the new crown pneumonia epidemic, is making intensive reference to regional cooperation mechanisms such as the Yangtze River Delta to study and formulate a joint meeting in Jiaodong 5 cities and other systems. This is a quick response to Shandong Province's "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Integrated Development of the Jiaodong Economic Circle".

On January 14, the Shandong Provincial Government issued the above-mentioned "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Integrated Development of the Jiaodong Economic Circle", which proposed to accelerate the integrated development of Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai, Weifang, Rizhao and other cities in the Jiaodong Economic Circle, and establish a sound cooperation mechanism. The regional development community with efficient and effective flow of elements, strong development vitality and significant radiation effects will build an internationally renowned Qingdao metropolitan area and build a strong engine of high-quality development in the province. "Cities in the Jiaodong Peninsula cannot engage in homogeneous competition. We must strengthen overall planning and control, urban spatial layout, major project construction, infrastructure construction, and port development to promote the integrated development of the Jiaodong Peninsula." Said Liu Jiayi, secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee. .

Accelerate infrastructure connectivity

The reporter noted that the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Integrated Development of the Jiaodong Economic Circle" involved infrastructure interconnection and interoperability, industrial innovation and synergy, opening up and win-win cooperation, ecological and environmental protection and joint governance, convenient sharing of public services, and element resources 25 guidelines in 7 areas including efficient deployment and guarantee mechanisms.

Taking “infrastructure interconnection” as an example, how to position the transportation hubs in these 5 cities, how to intensify the ocean ports in each city, how to configure the international routes of various airports, how to arrange the highway network and high-speed rail network, how to coordinate energy security, and major water resources How to coordinate the project construction and how to improve the information infrastructure. The "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Integrated Development of the Jiaodong Economic Circle" proposes to join forces to build Qingdao's international comprehensive transportation hub, Yantai and Weifang national transportation hubs, and Weihai and Rizhao regional transportation hubs. At the same time, it clearly puts forward the goals to be achieved for regional traffic: forming a "peninsula ring" of high-speed railways and a "one network" of high-grade highways, creating a "one-hour economic circle" in Jiaodong, and promoting the "One Card" of public transportation in Jiaodong 5 cities.

In fact, an international transportation hub with Qingdao as its core has taken shape. Qingdao Jiaodong Airport has basically completed the construction of the main project of the airport, and it is expected that the transfer operation will be realized in 2020. This airport will truly become an international aviation hub in the 5 cities of Jiaodong, connecting Japan and South Korea, and connecting the world.

With the establishment of Shandong Port Group, Qingdao has become increasingly prominent as an international shipping hub. Shandong Provincial Port Group is a provincial-owned state-owned enterprise approved by the Shandong Provincial Government in 2019. It coordinates the four major port resources of Qingdao, Yantai, Rizhao, and the Bohai Bay, and realizes the province's port planning “one game” and management service “one network”. "One picture" of resource development. After the establishment of the group, it has successively opened 12 routes, and initially formed the supporting development pattern of the trunk and branch network network with “Qingdao Port as the hub port, Rizhao Port, Yantai Port, and Bohai Bay Port forming a marine branch line layout around their respective hinterland”. Qingdao Port now has 137 foreign trade routes, and has basically formed an international logistics corridor that connects Japan, South Korea, Asia Pacific, Western Union, Central Asia, Europe, Nantong, South Asia, ASEAN, and North Mongolia, Russia.

Qingdao's role as an international regional hub for rail freight has emerged. Qingdao International Multimodal Transport Center Station, located in the Shanghe Demonstration Zone, has opened six international trains and two international return trains. Zhang Zhaoyu, manager of the marketing department of China Railway Union Qingdao Center Station, told reporters that, in addition to the business in the cities of the Jiaodong Peninsula, Japan ’s and South Korea ’s transit exports to Central Asia and Central Europe account for a large proportion. The Jiaohuang small operation circular train arrives at the China Railway Union Central Qingdao Station, and then arrives at the destination through the Central Asia Central European train. Such transportation to Europe saves at least half the time compared to the whole sea freight. "

As Qingdao is becoming a high-speed rail regional hub, Qingdao, an international comprehensive transportation hub, is becoming more and more powerful in the five cities of Jiaodong. In the past, Qingdao was only one terminal of the railway. With the opening of the Jiqing High-speed Railway and Qingyan Railway at the end of 2018, plus the already-opened Qingrong Railway and other three railways, Qingdao to Yantai, Weihai, Weifang, Rizhao and other cities, Both have railway "aorta". Changes in business, life, tourism, and logistics brought by this "aorta" to this area are gradually emerging.

In-depth industry innovation and synergy

Qingdao Haida Biological Group Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise focusing on the development and utilization of marine biological resources. Its headquarters is located in Qingdao High-tech Zone, and its three production plants are located in Qingdao Jiaozhou City, Rushan City and Rongcheng City in Weihai.

"This layout stems from the differences in resource endowment advantages of each region." Qingdao Junda, chairman of Qingdao Haida Biological Group Co., Ltd., told reporters that Qingdao is an international city and has gathered a large number of high-level marine talents. Attract corporate high-end R & D talents; Rushan and Rongcheng are rich in oysters, fish, kelp and other marine biological resources, with relatively low labor costs and land costs, and have manufacturing advantages. Because of the reasonable layout, Qingdao Haida Biological Group has risen rapidly in just a few years. "We now have hundreds of invention patents, and constantly carry out technological upgrades and product innovations based on market demand. At Rushan and Rongcheng's factories, fertilizer synergists and feed additives produced from marine resources such as oyster shells and kelp are sold almost every year Both are doubling and growing. Now we are researching the use of oyster meat to develop health foods such as oyster peptides for human health management. "

In Jiaodong 5 city, there are many companies, such as Qingdao Haida Biological Group, which have their headquarters' R & D and factories in different cities and promote collaborative innovation of production, teaching and research. More industrial synergy is reflected in the integration of scientific research institutes and enterprises, especially the coordinated development of the marine industry. As China's marine scientific research center, Qingdao has outstanding advantages in marine technological innovation resources. There are 26 maritime research institutions in the city, accounting for 19% of the country, 34 key laboratories and engineering (technology) research centers at the ministerial level or above, accounting for 33% of the country, and full-time academicians of the two sea-related academies account for about 28% of the country. Ranked first in the country. It is precisely because of this deep scientific foundation that the collaboration in Jiaodong 5 and even a wider area is deepening.

The Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, located in Shinan District, Qingdao City, is a Chinese aquaculture research and scientific research force. The "two fishes" developed by it: the turbot and the semi-smooth tongue bream, have established a "greenhouse" in line with China's national conditions. "Deep well seawater" industrialized farming model has formed an annual output value of nearly 10 billion yuan, and its main farm is in the Jiaodong Peninsula city.

Qingdao Blue Valley, located in Jimo District, Qingdao, has now become a new highland for marine technology in the world. Many scientific research departments have settled here, and it has also become a new landmark of the marine industry in Jiaodong 5. "When we settled in Qingdao, we positioned ourselves in Qingdao, covering Shandong and surrounding radiation." Lin Hui, president of the Qingdao Institute of Wuhan University of Technology, told reporters, "At present, we have been in cities such as Yantai and Weihai and have connected hundreds of different companies. Technical requirements, we will gradually organize experts to interface with the demand side. "

However, if Jiaodong 5 is to be truly integrated, the coordinated development needs to be deepened. Therefore, the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Integrated Development of the Jiaodong Economic Circle" clearly proposes to strengthen the overall planning at the provincial level, guide the dislocation and coordinated development of the five cities of Jiaodong, and foster the formation of Qingdao City as the leader, Bay Area economy as the driver, and Lingang economy as the support. The layout of industrial functions, to create the world's advanced marine science and education core area and modern marine industry cluster area.

With the gradual deepening of coordinated development, the five cities of Jiaodong will truly usher in a good situation of industrial innovation and synergy.

Continue to strengthen leading role

Whether the leading role of the Shandong Peninsula Urban Agglomeration can be brought into play is not only related to Shandong's own development, but also to the effectiveness of the implementation of the national strategy. There are two factors that are important to make the leading group of the Shandong Peninsula urban agglomeration rise. The first is whether the leader in Qingdao has an increasingly strong driving force, and the second is that the five cities must form an integrated consensus as soon as possible to work together.

Projects are the carrier of capital. In 2019, Qingdao has a total of 5,649 investment projects under construction, which is 1.5 times the total number of projects in the previous year. Among them, 3,101 newly started projects were 1.9 times the previous year. These data fully show that Qingdao's increasingly strong leader has the momentum, but the integration of Jiaodong 5 city needs to continue to strengthen its leading role in order to reach a higher level.

At present, the consensus of the five cities in Jiaodong is becoming stronger and stronger. Wang Qingxian, member of the Standing Committee of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee, clearly stated that it is necessary to have a sense of responsibility to lead the development of the province, truly uplift Qingdao, the leader of Shandong development, and make contributions to the development of the province that match the resources endowment of Qingdao. As the center of the Jiaodong Peninsula economic circle, Qingdao should lead the Jiaodong Peninsula economic circle to an important growth pole of China's high-quality development. It is reported that in addition to leading the formulation of joint meetings in Jiaodong 5 and other systems, Qingdao City will also open the "international living room" it is building to other cities on the peninsula. "The" international living room "is like an open 'supermarket'. The first is Promote capital, technology, talent, and economic and trade exchanges. "Wang Qingxian said that the" international living room "will provide other cities on the peninsula with a platform that integrates display, promotion, contact, and trading functions, and enhance the overall appeal of the Jiaodong Peninsula economic circle. In the recent implementation of the "offshore offensive" plan for the conversion of old and new kinetic energy, Qingdao City also clearly requested to strengthen its linkage with Zhucheng, Gaomi, Haiyang, etc., and explore the construction of a peninsula urban agglomeration's innovative resources and achievements transformation and sharing mechanism. Weifang is also very active on the integration of the peninsula cities. At the same time, city-level interactions are becoming more frequent. The five Jiaodong cities all formed party and government inspection teams, and went to other cities to investigate and investigate. The cooperation between the cities was getting closer.

Bringing the integration of the five cities of Jiaodong to a higher level, the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Integrated Development of the Jiaodong Economic Circle" put forward a guarantee mechanism, specifying that "the provincial leading group for the construction of a comprehensive new and old kinetic energy conversion pilot zone is responsible for the integrated development of the Jiaodong economic circle. Guide and comprehensively coordinate work, study and review major issues, and coordinate and resolve major issues. " At the same time, it is required to "implement the" list system + responsibility system "management for annual cooperation matters, and the Provincial New and Old Kinetic Energy Conversion Comprehensive Experimental Zone Construction Office shall do a good job of comprehensive coordination, follow-up evaluation and supervision and inspection of the implementation of cooperation matters, and timely report major issues to the Provincial Party Committee. Provincial government request report ".

With the gradual advancement of these "hard tricks", the integration of Shandong Jiaodong 5 cities will usher in a historic moment.
