(Economic Observation) From an economic cooperation zone to a coordinated development zone, Fujian is accelerating towards common prosperity
China News Service, Fuzhou, November 23 (Reporter Long Min) From a comprehensive review of China’s top 50 GDP cities in 2020, it can be seen that there are four cities in Fujian, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, and Zhangzhou. Trillion yuan (RMB, the same below) club.
These four cities are all located in coastal areas, and their total GDP has accounted for about three-quarters of Fujian's total GDP.
Therefore, Fujian will read the "Shanhai Jing" again, speed up the construction of two coordinated development zones in Northeast Fujian and Southwest Fujian, coordinate regional development from a higher level, and accelerate the progress towards common prosperity.
"Fujian Plan" for coordinated regional development
This year is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan". Fujian proposed to remember the "Shanhai Jing" of the new era, steadily implement the development plan of the two coordinated development zones in Northeast Fujian and Southwest Fujian, and promote the joint construction of major projects, the sharing of public resources, and supporting industries. Cooperation, ecological protection coordination, and social governance linkage.
For a long time, due to differences in factors such as economic development conditions, resource endowments, and industrial foundations, the development of mountainous areas and coastal areas in Fujian has been uneven.
As early as 1981, Fujian issued the question "Is it the fundamental way out for Fujian to read the "Shanhai Jing" of Da Nian", which opened the way of exploring the regional development strategy of "Grasping the Two Lines of Mountains and Seas" and implementing the cooperation of mountains and seas. .
Fujian's mountain-sea cooperation has lasted for many years, but the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development has not been resolved.
In 2018, Fujian aims at high-quality development, upgrading the two economic cooperation zones of Northeast Fujian and Southwest Fujian to coordinated development zones, and promotes the accelerated development of the two coordinated development zones of Northeast Fujian and Southwest Fujian.
According to Huang Maoxing, a professor at the School of Economics of Fujian Normal University, it will effectively promote deeper, broader, and closer integration of regional development, and become a "Fujian Plan" that solves the problem of inadequate development imbalances, deepens cooperation between mountains and seas, promotes urban and rural coordination, and promotes common prosperity. .
Breaking through the barriers of administrative divisions, the two large coordinated development zones of northeast Fujian and southwest Fujian have accelerated the integration of the layout, and continued to deepen and implement.
Specifically, the two major coordinated development zones are based on industrial characteristics and resource endowments, docking weak links in the industry and key breakthrough directions, exploring joint investment promotion across cities and counties, building an incentive mechanism for industrial transfer across regions, supporting cooperation in the construction of industrial parks, and making overall plans for major issues. Construction of industrial collaboration chain group.
On September 30 this year, the Xingquan Railway Jiangxi Xingguo to Fujian Qingliu section, and the Fujian Jianning to Guanzishan section of the Pumei Railway officially opened for operation.
So far, the number of railway routes out of Fujian Province has increased to 11.
With the establishment of the transportation artery and the formation of an integrated market, the advantages of natural resources and late-comer advantages in mountainous areas have become an important support for the high-quality development of coastal areas in Fujian.
Zhu Sihai, a researcher at the Development Research Center of Fujian Provincial Government, believes that through long-term investment in infrastructure advance projects, Fujian has developed into a new stage of system integration of "vines and melon integration", and promotes the spatial development model from "point-axis development model" to "urban agglomeration". The "development model" is transformed to promote the integrated and integrated development of the sectoral economy led by the two coordinated development zones in northeastern Fujian and southwest Fujian.
Central cities and metropolitan areas become powerful engines
A few days ago, the Office of the Leading Group for the Construction of the Two Coordinated Development Zones in Northeast Fujian and Southwest Fujian issued a notice to deepen and implement the new era of mountain-sea collaboration, and strive to promote the construction of the two coordinated development zones to form more visible results and build high-quality regional integration. New advantages in development and regional competition.
Promote the exhibition of the directors of regional central cities, and form a new model in which central cities lead the development of metropolitan areas and metropolitan areas drive the development of coordinated areas.
Huang Maoxing believes that in the process of moving towards common prosperity, we must give full play to the leading role of coastal cities such as Fuzhou and Xiamen, as well as the Fuzhou metropolitan area and the Xia Zhangquan metropolitan area.
Following the Nanjing metropolitan area, the Fuzhou metropolitan area was approved to become China's second national-level metropolitan area.
According to the plan, the Fuzhou Metropolitan Area focuses on the development needs of cross-city-level administrative units, implements a common development vision, coordinates differentiated development demands, and strengthens policy linkage, transportation integration, industrial integration, market integration, ecological integration, and public service integration change.
Highlight the sharing of public service resources
The early mountain-sea cooperation in Fujian was more reflected in the counterpart assistance provided by the coastal areas to the mountainous areas.
But today, read the "Shanhai Jing" to promote common prosperity, not only focusing on economic development, but also highlighting the sharing of public service resources.
Fuzhou Children's Hospital takes the lead in establishing the Fujian Northeast Pediatrics Alliance. 83 hospitals have in-depth cooperation in discipline construction, scientific research cooperation, talent training, telemedicine, and two-way referral.
The relevant person in charge of Fuzhou Children's Hospital introduced that cooperation in scientific research cooperation, talent training, telemedicine, technical exchanges, two-way referrals and other fields, to carry out multi-center research in the region, and form a Fujian sample of big data on various diseases of pediatrics.
The green mountains and green waters are the eternal background of the coordinated development of northeast and southwest Fujian.
In July this year, Nanping, Fuzhou, Putian, Ningde, and Pingtan "Four Cities and One District" Forestry Bureaus (Resources and Ecology Bureau) jointly signed a framework agreement for joint prevention and control of forest pests such as pine wood nematode disease in the coordinated development zone in Northeast Fujian.
Dai Yongwu, a professor at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, believes that to promote coordinated regional development, it is not only necessary to promote the coordinated development of the regional economy, but also to strengthen the coordinated development of various aspects of the regional economy, society, people's livelihood, and ecology.
