China News Agency, Beijing, January 24 (Liu Wenwen) The "14th Five-Year Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") officially announced by the National Development and Reform Commission of China on the 24th proposed that it is necessary to "deploy and construct a batch of circulation elements". A fulcrum city of modern circulation strategies with centralized, complete circulation facilities, and rich application scenarios of new technologies, new formats and new models” and “build a backbone circulation corridor with efficient connectivity of facilities, deep connection between production and sales, and close cooperation in division of labor”.

  At the press conference held on the same day, Zhang Guohua, deputy director of the Economic and Trade Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, pointed out that China's economy is deep and broad, and under the new development pattern, the scale, structure, and time-space distribution of China's production and consumption will undergo major changes. .

  On the one hand, these changes have created historical opportunities for a wider area and more subjects to join the economic cycle and modern circulation; but on the other hand, within a certain period, with the expansion of the scope of circulation space, commodity and resource elements will likely be More decentralized, the economies of scale will diminish.

From the perspective of promoting the circulation of the national economy, improving the efficiency of circulation, and reducing the cost of circulation, it is necessary to give full play to the large-scale organizational advantages of the modern circulation system for commodities and resource elements, and at the same time promote the coordinated development of the network of inter-regional circulation facilities and organizational operation methods.

Therefore, the "Plan" proposes the above-mentioned goals and tasks.

  He further explained that the strategic fulcrum city is the centralized carrier of circulation facilities, the organizational center of circulation elements and the circulation industry, and the gathering area for the application of new technologies, new formats and new modes of circulation.

Following the characteristics of circulation connecting production and service consumption, combining with the differences in circulation development between different cities, adhering to innovation-driven, demonstration-led leadership, a number of strategic fulcrum cities for modern circulation will be selected across the country, and construction will be promoted by category.

  The backbone circulation corridor connects the fulcrum cities of the modern circulation strategy. Through the high-level connectivity of facilities, the deep connection of production and sales, and the close cooperation of industrial division of labor, a modern circulation network of "fulcrum city + backbone corridor" is formed to create a smooth and efficient circulation of Chinese commodities and resource elements. main channel.

  Zhang Guohua said that in order to promote the layout and construction of strategic pivot cities and build backbone circulation corridors, relevant implementation plans are being studied and formulated.

By 2025, we will strive to build a number of fulcrum cities and several backbone circulation corridors in the national modern circulation strategy, and promote the formation of a modern circulation network that is efficient and smooth, with internal and external connectivity, and safe and interoperable communication.
