Recently, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium on promoting the rise of the central region in the new era, emphasizing the need to solidly promote the rise of the central region from a higher starting point. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the personal planning, deployment and promotion of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the rise of the central region has written a new chapter and stood at a higher starting point. Today, the Party Building Network has sorted out some of the relevant important expositions of General Secretary Xi Jinping and invites you to study and understand them together.
The central region plays an important role in the country
Promoting the rise of the central region is an important decision made by the Party Central Committee. Doing a good job in the rise of the central region is of great significance to achieving the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and starting a new journey of my country's socialist modernization. At present, the central region is gaining momentum and has great potential for development. We must closely adhere to the requirements of high-quality development, take advantage of the situation, work hard, and promote the rise of the central region to a new level.
——On May 21, 2019, Xi Jinping’s speech at the symposium on promoting the rise of the central region
Since the mid-to-late 1990s, while continuing to encourage the eastern region to take the lead in development, we have successively made major strategic decisions such as implementing the development of the western region, revitalizing old industrial bases such as the northeastern region, and promoting the rise of the central region. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has proposed new regional development strategies such as the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the joint construction of the “Belt and Road”, the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. Next, we will also study the ecological protection and high-quality development issues in the Yellow River Basin.

The central region is an important grain production base, energy raw material base, modern equipment manufacturing and high-tech industrial base and comprehensive transportation hub in China. It plays a decisive role in the country. We must consistently implement a series of policies and measures implemented by the Party Central Committee to promote the rise of the central region, form a joint force to promote high-quality development, and strive to write a new chapter in the rise of the central region in the Chinese-style modernization drive.

The development of the central region has reached a higher starting point
The "Belt and Road" construction is an important starting point to promote my country's new round of opening up to the outside world, and it should be used to drive the coordinated progress of my country's east, middle and west. It is necessary to strengthen regional policy coordination, strengthen the connection between the "One Belt and One Road" construction and national strategies such as the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and the integration with the development of the west, the revitalization of the northeast, the rise of the central region, the leading development of the east, and border development and opening up. It will lead to the formation of a situation of all-round opening up and coordinated development of the east, middle and west.

Increase efforts to support the accelerated development of old revolutionary areas, ethnic minority areas, border areas, and poverty-stricken areas, strengthen measures to promote the development of the western region to form a new pattern, deepen reforms to accelerate the revitalization of old industrial bases such as the Northeast, leverage our advantages to promote the rise of the central region, and take the lead in realizing the realization of the eastern region through innovation and leadership.
