(Economic Observation) How does Chengyu sing "A Tale of Two Cities" at the beginning of the "14th Five-Year Plan"?

　　China News Service, Chengdu, January 31st (Reporter He Shaoqing Wang Peng) In late January, the local two sessions in China were intensively held.

At the two sessions of Sichuan Province and the two sessions of Chongqing Municipality, “the construction of a two-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region” once again became a hot word in the work report of the two provincial and municipal governments.

One year after this national strategy was put forward, in the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the actions of Sichuan and Chongqing are worthy of attention.

　　Huang Qiang, Acting Governor of Sichuan Province, pointed out in the government work report that Sichuan will take the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing dual-city economic circle as a strategic traction, deepen and expand the development strategy of “one branch, multiple branches, and five districts”, and strive to build a strong and support domestic cycle. In the economic hinterland, speed up the construction of a gateway hub with a smooth domestic and international double cycle.

When looking forward to 2035, the work report of the Chongqing Municipal Government also proposed to build the Chengdu-Chongqing region into a bi-city economic circle with strong strength and distinctive characteristics, which will become an active growth pole and a strong source of power with international influence.

　　In the past year, the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing dual-city economic circle has entered the fast lane: Sichuan and Chongqing held two joint party and government meetings and issued 10 work plans and policy documents.

The construction of 27 major projects jointly implemented by Sichuan and Chongqing including Chengdawan High-speed Railway started construction, 95 Sichuan-Chongqing cross-border projects were handled in different places, Chengdu-Chongqing realized "one yard" bus rail transit, and Chengdu-Chongqing high-speed rail realized one-hour direct connection.

　　2021 is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan". How will Cheng Yu sing "A Tale of Two Cities" well?

　　Huang Qiang said that it will strengthen Sichuan-Chongqing coordination, highlight support and leadership, jointly promote major projects, jointly build major platforms, jointly implement major reforms, and jointly pursue major policies, and coordinately promote transportation construction, industrial development, technological innovation, opening up, and adjacent cooperation , Ecological construction, and public services.

　　In the "Outline of the Construction Plan for the Two-city Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region", unblocking the main channel between Chengdu and Chongqing is an important content.

In 2021, Sichuan-Chongqing will speed up the construction of high-speed railways such as the Yuzhong Line and West Chongqing, encrypt the main highways between Sichuan and Chongqing, create a transportation hub along the line, improve the level of internal and external communication in the main city, and form a 1-hour commuting circle.

　　In the local two sessions this year, terms such as "co-construction", "pilot zone" and "experimental zone" were frequently mentioned in the work reports of the Sichuan and Chongqing governments.

For example, Sichuan and Chongqing will jointly build a pioneering zone for integrated development in the adjacent areas of Suitong, Sichuan and Chongqing, Ziyang Dazu Cultural Tourism Integration Demonstration Zone, Southern Sichuan and Western Chongqing Integration Development Pilot Zone, Wanda Kaichuan-Chongqing Integrated Development Demonstration Zone, and Sichuan-Chongqing Gaozhu New Area.

　　In this regard, Gao Zengan, a representative of the Sichuan Provincial People’s Congress and a professor at the School of Economics and Management of Southwest Jiaotong University, believes that the adjacent areas of Sichuan and Chongqing can actively explore the appropriate separation of administrative regions and economic regions, and jointly build new industrial zones, so as to "give full play to Sichuan's enclaves and cross-regional industries. Experience in the construction of cooperative parks."

　　Singing well the "Tale of Two Cities" and jointly building an inland reform and opening up highland is a clear requirement in the "Outline of the Construction Plan for the Two-City Economic Circle in Chengdu-Chongqing Region".

In terms of expanding cooperation in opening up to the outside world, the provincial and municipal governments of Sichuan and Chongqing stated in their work reports that they will promote the construction of a demonstration zone for the opening of the Sichuan-Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone System.

　　Mao Zhonggen, member of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and director of the Western China Economic Research Center of Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, said that this year’s work report of the Sichuan and Chongqing governments used a relatively large amount of space to implement the "Outline for the Construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Double-city Economic Circle" in all aspects. .

While giving full play to Chengdu’s position as the “core” of the Chengdu-Chongqing dual-city economic circle, the cultivation of “sub-core” cities should be strengthened, and the division of labor and differentiated development of cities in the economic circle should be strengthened.

　　Sichuan and Chongqing are both important water conservation areas in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. As the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing double-city economic circle progresses, the Sichuan-Chongqing ecological and environmental protection joint construction and joint governance will accelerate.

Up to now, the Sichuan-Chongqing ecological environment department has signed 56 cooperation agreements, and the preliminary investigation of 81 transboundary rivers in Sichuan and Chongqing and the preparation of ecological environmental protection plans have been officially launched.

　　Yuan Linguo, a representative of the Sichuan Provincial People's Congress and a member of the Environmental Resources Protection Committee for Urban and Rural Construction of the Sichuan Provincial People's Congress, said that Sichuan-Chongqing environmental protection is of great significance for effectively managing the ecological environment problems in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and promoting the coordinated development of Sichuan and Chongqing.

It is suggested that Sichuan and Chongqing should build a basic sharing platform for environmental information, and strengthen the use of online monitoring, remote sensing and other informatization methods to monitor the ecology of the river basin.
