Xi Jinping's third trip to Xiong'an, the meaning behind the three "special"

Beijing, 5 May (ZXS) -- Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, state president, and chairman of the Central Military Commission, inspected the Xiong'an New Area in Hebei Province on 11 May, presided over a forum on promoting the construction of the Xiong'an New Area with high standards and high quality, and delivered an important speech.

Xiong'an New Area was personally planned, decided and promoted by Xi Jinping. According to public reports, this is Xi Jinping's third inspection of Xiong'an. Through the three special features of this trip, the outside world can better perceive his trip to Xiong'an.

First, the special feature of Xiong'an.

"Our understanding of time is not measured in ten years or a hundred years, but in a hundred years and a thousand years." Xi Jinping once said. These remarks reflect the "view of time" of a large party and a big country. Since its establishment, Xiong'an New Area has planned with the positioning of the "Millennium Plan", which is undoubtedly an excellent embodiment of this "view of time".

Duan Jin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and professor of the School of Architecture of Southeast University, said that positioning the construction of a new city with the "millennium plan" is unprecedented in the history of Chinese cities and even the history of world cities.

From the spatial perspective, creating a centralized bearing place for non-capital functions in Beijing is the original intention of establishing Xiong'an New Area, and it is also its unique feature that is different from other "new districts" and "special zones". Xi Jinping once said: "The focus and starting point is to carry out a surgical operation to relieve Beijing's non-capital functions and solve the problem of 'big city disease'." ”

Now, after 6 years of planning and construction, the "special" consideration of the top-level design of Xiong'an New Area is becoming a reality step by step.

At the time of Xi Jinping's visit, the first batch of landmark relief projects were successively built in Xiong'an New Area, and the cumulative number of various institutions set up by central enterprises in the new area has exceeded 140, and about 12,15 people have moved to new homes, complete supporting facilities, and accelerated the formation of a "<>-minute living circle".

"Look at Shenzhen in the 80s, Pudong in the 90s, and Xiong'an in the 21st century." That's how people describe it.

Regarding the development of Xiong'an, Xi Jinping said during his trip: In just 6 years, Xiong'an New Area has emerged from scratch, from blueprint to reality, and a high-level modern city is rising up, which is a miracle.

Second, there is a special opportunity for investigation.

Every time Xi Jinping investigates and inspects Xiong'an, he is at a "critical time" for the development and construction of Xiong'an. In February 2017, Xi Jinping visited Anxin County, Hebei Province, and more than a month later, the news of the establishment of Xiong'an New Area was officially "officially announced". In January 2, Xi Jinping went to Xiong'an again, and the Xiong'an New Area shifted from the top-level design stage to the substantive construction stage.

After four years, Xi Jinping's third inspection, Xiong'an New Area has entered a stage of equal emphasis on large-scale construction and undertaking Beijing's non-capital function dredging, and the focus of work has shifted to high-quality construction, high-level management, and high-quality dredging and development.

How to draw "gongbi painting" in Xiong'an next step and further jointed growth? At the new node of the development and construction of Xiong'an New Area, Xi Jinping once again steered the rudder.

The timing of this expedition is also special. The CCP is conducting large-scale investigation and research within the party, and education on related topics has also been launched, so the Xiong'an inspection is regarded by the outside world as an "open class" under the above-mentioned leadership.

During the trip, Li Qiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and premier of the State Council, Cai Qi, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, and Ding Xuexiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, accompanied the inspection and attended the forum. Li Ganjie, He Lifeng and others accompanied the inspection and attended the forum. Wu Zhenglong, Mu Hong, Jiang Xinzhi and others attended the forum.

Dai Yanjun, a professor at the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (National School of Administration), believes that such an arrangement is relatively rare in domestic inspections, and shows a clear attitude of Daxing investigation and research with a very special high standard.

Looking at transportation, entering the community, asking about ecology, inspecting the facts, and listening to public opinion, Xi Jinping pointed out after field research that the construction of Xiong'an New Area has achieved major phased results. "Practice has proved that the major policy decision of the Party Central Committee on the construction of Xiong'an New Area is completely correct, and the work in all aspects is solid and effective."

He also stressed that the construction of the Xiong'an New Area is a major plan of the millennium and a major national event, and we must neither be impetuous nor wait for what is needed, but must work hard in a down-to-earth manner and make contributions for a long time.

The third is the special consideration in the top-level planning.

At present, China is comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization. And "modernization" is also the proper meaning of the top-level design of Xiong'an, the "city of the future".

As early as April 2018, in the Planning Outline of Hebei Xiong'an New Area, the word "modernization" appeared as many as 4 times, including requirements such as building a high-level socialist modern city.

During this inspection, Xi Jinping once again clarified the special considerations in the top-level thinking of Xiong'an construction.

Achieving high-quality development is clearly one of the essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization. During this trip, he emphasized "high quality" and called for truly turning high-standard urban planning blueprints into high-quality urban development reality pictures. The theme of this inspection also focuses on high-standard and high-quality promotion of the construction of Xiong'an New Area, high-quality construction, high-quality relief, and high-quality development, which have also become the keywords mentioned many times in Xi Jinping's inspection.

At the symposium, Xi Jinping also focused on five aspects of work and called for the correct handling of a series of relationships. Including short-term goals and medium- and long-term goals, urban construction speed and population agglomeration scale, industrial transfer and industrial upgrading, government and market, undertaking Beijing's non-capital function relief and the city's own development, urban construction and surrounding rural revitalization.

Dai Yanjun believes that the construction of Xiong'an New Area has both the universality of Chinese-style modern city construction and its own particularity. Handling a series of major relationships well reflects the top-level consideration of "adapting measures to local conditions" in Xiong'an.

In his investigation of this "city of the future", Xi Jinping also pinned his hopes on Xiong'an as a "city of people". "We must adhere to the people's city for the people, and the people's city for the people," Xi Jinping said, so that the people can feel a real sense of gain and happiness from the construction and development of the new area.

Development, in the final analysis, is to continuously meet the needs of the people for a better life, and to enable the people to live a better life, which is exactly where the original intention of the big party and big country lies. (End)
