China News Service, Hangzhou, January 19 (Reporter Shao Yanfei Fan Yubin) "Qingtian focuses on the first economy of ecological industry, the first project of 'double recruitment and double introduction', the first resource for overseas Chinese, and the first support for transportation. Cross the mountain and ask the sea, and build a 'world Qingtian' with high quality and common prosperity." At the 2022 Zhejiang Provincial Two Sessions held here, Lin Xia, deputy of the Zhejiang Provincial People's Congress and secretary of the Qingtian County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, gave the development direction of Qingtian, the hometown of overseas Chinese in the next five years. Of course in the chest.

　　Qingtian, a mountainous county located at the intersection of the two major urban circles of Lishui and Wenzhou, is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, with 330,000 overseas Chinese living in more than 120 countries and regions around the world.

　　"We must integrate Qingtian into the world and let the world favor Qingtian." Lin Xia said, in order to better expand the channel between common prosperity and "world Qingtian", Qingtian will plan the overall situation from an international perspective and give full play to the resources of the 330,000 overseas Chinese army. With the advantages of "overseas Chinese" as a bridge, and using "overseas Chinese" to go overseas, we strive to be the pioneers and trend-setters of the "Belt and Road".

　　Focusing on giving full play to the advantages of overseas Chinese, in 2018, Qingtian County was approved to build the Zhejiang (Qingtian) Overseas Chinese Economic and Cultural Cooperation Pilot Zone, and built ten landmark projects such as the World Supermarket, the Overseas Chinese Hometown Agricultural Products City, and the Overseas Chinese (Qingshang) Headquarters Economy.

　　Under the new development pattern of "dual circulation", Qingtian explores the way from "buying the world" to "selling the world".

For example, more than 70,000 kinds of commodities from about 70 countries and regions around the world are gathered in Qingtian Overseas Chinese Hometown Import Commodity City, with cumulative sales exceeding 14 billion yuan; Qingtian's agricultural product sales and export gathering platform - Overseas Chinese Hometown Agricultural Products City , sells more than 1,000 kinds of food and agricultural products, and has set up 100 overseas counters in 35 cities in Europe, established 2 overseas cooperative warehouses, and the cumulative export volume has exceeded 60 million US dollars.

　　Lin Xia noted that in this year's Zhejiang Provincial Government Work Report, it is proposed to "deeply participate in the joint construction of the 'Belt and Road', optimize the layout of overseas economic and trade cooperation zones, and strengthen the construction of international industrial cooperation parks." important role in upgrading” and so on.

　　"For Qingtian, it is necessary to intensify efforts to promote reform, make it special and strengthen the Zhejiang (Qingtian) Overseas Chinese Economic and Cultural Cooperation Pilot Zone." Lin Xia said as an example, 53.7% of overseas Chinese in Qingtian are engaged in the accommodation and catering industry overseas. There are more than 20,000 Chinese restaurants in the world, and they have the ability to bring high-quality Chinese agricultural products to foreigners' tables, and can tell the "Chinese story" through "China on the tip of the tongue".

　　Lin Xia said that Qingtian will build the first choice for supplying high-quality agricultural products along the “Belt and Road”, allowing “Lishui Mountain Farming” and even more Chinese agricultural products to enter the countries and regions along the “Belt and Road”.

　　In fact, overseas Chinese are the most important resource for Qingtian's economic and social development. Qingtian has been setting off a wave of overseas Chinese returning to their hometowns to start a business in recent years.

　　In September 2021, the county issued "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Return of Overseas Chinese in Qingtian County and Promoting Common Prosperity (Trial)" to attract overseas Chinese to return to entrepreneurship and innovation.

Among them, it is mentioned that the establishment of a characteristic business platform is mainly based on the advantages of Qingtian overseas Chinese trade channels, and actively cultivates the policy "combination punch" launched by the new format of service trade.

　　In order to do a good job in the return of overseas Chinese elements, Lin Xia suggested to support the return of overseas Chinese capital to serve the real economy.

Set up the "Overseas Chinese Fund" to guide overseas funds to invest in domestic industrial projects, vigorously guide enterprises to enter the manufacturing industry, specialize, specialize, and new, and jointly build a "technology-industry-finance" cycle.

　　Looking at Lishui, the city has made every effort to promote the realization of a new leap in the economy and society with the three golden keys of "coordination across the mountains, innovation and leadership, and borrowing from the sea", and to start a new journey of high-quality development in mountainous areas for common prosperity.

　　As one of the 26 counties in the mountainous area of ​​Zhejiang, Lin Xia said that Qingtian will rely on its location advantages and overseas Chinese resources to speed up the construction of a new development pattern of land and sea coordination and mutual economy between mountains and seas, and read the "mountain and sea economy" in the new era.

　　"Across the mountains and seas, borrowing resources from the sea, and participating in the construction of the 'Belt and Road', the transportation system is the key support." Lin Xia said that at present, Qingtian is seizing the opportunity of the central government to carry out infrastructure construction in a moderately advanced manner. Qiangda Transportation has planned to invest 100 billion yuan (RMB) in a transportation project library to build a comprehensive transportation network of "integration of highways, railways, rivers and ports", so that Qingtian will become a major channel between Lishui and the sea, and the north and the south.

　　"Currently, we are speeding up the construction of Qingtian Port, actively opening up the Oujiang 'golden waterway', and fostering a new engine of marine economy." Lin Xia said.

　　According to reports, the Oujiang waterway from Qingtian to Wenzhou Port is the channel for Qingtian's commercial goods, and it is also the "big artery" for the entire Lishui to go to the sea. It will effectively solve the problem of high logistics costs in Qingtian and even the entire Lishui. 1/5 of the freight, and the unit carbon emission is only 1/3 of the road transportation.

　　In this regard, Lin Xia suggested, "Add Qingtian Port to Zhejiang Province's '14th Five-Year' Plan for Transportation, help Lishui to build a major hub for southwest Zhejiang's river-sea intermodal transport, and build the forefront of Lishui's seaward development."

　　Qingtian is the closest place to the sea in Lishui, and it is also the east gate of Lishui to the outside world.

As a deputy to the National People's Congress who came to work in the mountainous area from an island, Lin Xia said that she will take the ocean consciousness to promote Qingtian from "living by the sea" to "enriching the people by the sea", and leap to become a window of integration between ancient and modern, and the integration of China and foreign countries , a window of openness for dialogue with overseas and the world, and let more scenery of common prosperity come into the "window" along with the "sea breeze".
