(Economic Observation) How does the revitalization of Northeast China under the new situation break through?
China News Agency, Beijing, February 19 (Reporter Liu Liang) Against the background of the impact of the new crown epidemic and the profound changes in the internal and external situation, the importance of security has become increasingly prominent. new topic.
A number of experts pointed out at a symposium entitled "Coordinating Security and Development - Promoting New Breakthroughs in Northeast Revitalization" recently, that in recent years, China has made progress in promoting the Northeast Revitalization Strategy, and the regional economy has been injected with vitality, but the development of the region faces challenges. The problem of breaking the situation is still there, and it is urgent to further unblock its development blockages, tap new kinetic energy with "potential", and help the Northeast region to promote security through development.
Chi Fulin, president of the China (Hainan) Reform and Development Research Institute, pointed out that the Northeast region is an important industrial and agricultural base in China, and has important strategic positions in the "five security" of national defense security, food security, ecological security, energy security, and industrial security.
In the face of the epidemic and profound changes in the internal and external situation in recent years, coordinated development and safety have become an important goal of promoting the revitalization of Northeast China in the new development stage.
In his view, as an old industrial base, the Northeast region has the advantages of strong industrial foundation, complete manufacturing types, advanced technology, high industrial maturity, complete industrial chain, well-trained industrial workers, and good scientific and educational foundation. The contradictions of industrial isomorphism and poor layout in this region are still prominent. For example, the three northeastern provinces have gathered industries such as automobile, petroleum and chemical industry, and shipbuilding at the same time. There are problems of low-level and repeated competition, which restrict the safety and security of regional industrial chains and supply chains. developing.
In response to these problems, Chi Fulin suggested that it is necessary to focus on the strategic positioning of the "five security" in the Northeast region, accelerate the formation of an action plan for the integration of Northeast industries, adjust, optimize and integrate industrial resources in the Northeast region, and strive to initially form complementary advantages and high-quality products by 2025. Development of the regional economic layout.
For example, in the layout of the national defense and security industry, efforts should be made to strengthen the industrial guarantee for safeguarding national defense security, and substantially enhance the status of an important national industrial base; in the layout of agricultural industrialization, it is necessary to integrate and optimize agricultural resources throughout the region, and promote regional integration. The development of the agricultural industry chain in Northeast China will further consolidate the status of the national grain "ballast stone"; in optimizing the industrial layout with equipment manufacturing as the core, it is necessary to promote the dislocation development of regional industries according to comparative advantages, strengthen the long chain, and supplement the short chain.
According to Tian Xueyuan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, development is the last word, and the better the development, the safer it is.
To coordinate the security and development of the Northeast region, it is necessary not only to reform and update basic industries to revive the status of the Northeast industrial base, but also to reform, build and revitalize the Northeast Commodity Grain Base under the guidance of large-scale operation of modern agriculture.
At the same time, it is necessary to promote the reform of science and education to reshape the highland of human capital accumulation in the Northeast; accelerate the construction of ecological barriers and reshape the highland of ecological civilization in the Northeast.
The Northeast region is an old industrial base in China. How to take advantage of the new economic trends and regional advantages to realize the conversion of old and new kinetic energy and broaden the economic prospects is also an important path for the Northeast region to seek new breakthroughs.
Ji Yushan, a professor at the School of Economics of Jilin University and a researcher at the China State-owned Economic Research Center, believes that with the advent of the digital economy era, problems arising from the digital economy emerge in an endless stream, and new topics are proposed for the revitalization of the old industrial bases in Northeast China. As a result, the Northeast's revitalization has been continuously elevated to a new height.
He emphasized that the Northeast is the focus of China's manufacturing industry. Although it has declined after the reform and opening up, the foundation of the old industrial base in the Northeast is still there. To tap the potential of the Northeast's manufacturing industry, the key lies in digitization.
It is necessary to further activate the Northeast region in shipbuilding, steel, heavy industry equipment, petrochemical and other fields through the digital economy to achieve industrial transformation and upgrading.
In addition to taking advantage of the new economic situation, we must also take advantage of location advantages.
Zhang Fei, vice president of the China (Hainan) Reform and Development Research Institute, pointed out that in recent years, Russia has increased the development and opening up of the Far East, and the economic and trade cooperation between China and Russia in the Northeast-Far East has been deepened.
Northeast China is the forefront of China's opening to the Russian Far East, and the development of the Russian Far East has brought important opportunities to the new round of Northeast revitalization.
In Zhang Fei's view, China and Russia have broad prospects for cooperation in Northeast China, and suggested that they should make full use of existing platforms to deepen Sino-Russian Northeast-Far East economic and trade cooperation, and deepen bilateral cooperation in energy, tourism, agriculture, education, cultural industries, etc. cooperation in the field, and promote the effective connection between the revitalization of the Northeast and the development of the Russian Far East.
At the same time, give play to the important role of Northeast China in Sino-Russian energy cooperation, make full use of the geographical advantage of Northeast China in the geometric center of Northeast Asia, continue to strengthen oil and natural gas cooperation between Northeast China and the Russian Far East, and accelerate the construction of a national energy strategy in Northeast China.
