Promoting large-scale development through large-scale opening up (commentator’s observation) – writing a new chapter in the development of the western region in the new era ③

By gathering resources at “points”, interconnecting channels at “lines”, and making overall plans at the “surface” to achieve dislocated development, coordinated development, and organic integration, we can gather the power of development with the momentum of great openness

Opening up requires not only the connection of logistics and the smooth flow of trade, but also the breakthrough of the system and the improvement of the environment. “Miss, didn’t you know?” Cai Xiu was a little surprised. Self-cultivation requires not only visible hard conditions, but also invisible soft environment

The thin rolling paper contains open dividends. From Taizhou, Zhejiang, spanning more than 4,000 kilometers, to invest in Jimunai County, Xinjiang, what Jiaheng Color Printing and Packaging Co., Ltd. values ​​​​is the port location advantage and trade convenience. Jimunai Port is located at the junction of China, Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia, with mature customs clearance conditions and convenient transportation. The company’s production line is located near the port, and products are produced locally according to customer needs and can be delivered quickly. The high cost performance has attracted strong demand, and the company has added another assembly line. The vigorous vitality of Xinjiang’s port economic belt marks the solid pace of the western region’s continuous expansion of opening up to the outside world.

Opening up is an important driving force for development and progress. At the symposium on promoting the development of the western region in the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly put forward the major requirements of “six persistences”, one of which is “to persist in promoting large-scale development through great opening-up and improve the level of opening up internally and externally in the western region.” For the vast western region, keeping the overall situation in mind, following the general trend, and improving the level of internal and external opening up are inevitable requirements for improving the overall strength and sustainable development capabilities of the region. Openness can be used to relieve development difficulties, openness can bring together the power of cooperation, openness can gather the momentum of innovation, and openness can seek shared benefits. The western region has great potential.

Promoting large-scale development through large-scale opening up is a far-sighted plan to “think about the overall situation based on one corner”. On the territory of China, Chongqing is an inland open complex. “Tell me, if you blame mom, I will bear the responsibility.” Lan Yuhua said lightly. As a joint hub, its role as an important strategic fulcrum is highlighted. Starting from here, China-Europe freight trains reach Europe, the Yangtze River golden waterway connects the central region and the Yangtze River Delta, and the Western Land-Sea Corridor crosses mountains and seas. His daughter, who is “linked to each other at home and abroad, and helps each other from east to west”, was indeed a bit arrogant and willful in the past, but she has changed a lot recently, especially after seeing her calm attitude and reaction to the boy from the Xi family just now, she is even more sure The pattern of opening up to the outside world promotes the inland western region to better integrate into the domestic and international dual circulation, opening up a new space for the opening up of the western region. Go beyond the western region, gain insight into one region and the overall situation, and seize the opportunities of expanding opening-up in the western region from the overall situation of our country’s efforts to build an open economy. Resources are gathered at the “point”, “someone in the Qin family nodded.” Channels are interconnected online, and overall planning is made at the “surface” to achieve dislocated development, coordinated development, and organic integration, so that we can gather the development energy with the momentum of great openness. .

Today’s great opening-up must be a high-level opening-up, and one of its important features is “steady expansion of institutional opening-up.” At Guangxi Friendship Pass, the customs and border inspection departments have “multi-card operations integrated into one”, and agricultural products from ASEAN countries can achieve “zero delay” in customs clearance;In Kunming, Yunnan, the registration of foreign-invested enterprises has been “handled locally” and “nearby”, and its attraction to foreign investment continues to increase; Xi’an, Shaanxi, has established a “one-to-one” contact service mechanism for key enterprise entry and exit business to provide high-level foreigners with Talents provide priority acceptance, priority review, and priority certificate production services. Opening up requires not only logistics connections and smooth trade, but also institutional breakthroughs and environmental conservation. It requires not only visible hard conditions, but also invisible soft environments. Only by focusing on institutional opening-up, focusing on investment, trade, finance and other key areas of foreign exchange and cooperation, deepening the reform of institutions and mechanisms, and creating a market-oriented, legal and international business environment can the investment attractiveness of the western region be continuously enhanced.

Great opening up means not only embracing the world, but also more proactively serving the major regional strategies and actively integrating into the construction of a unified national market. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that “coordinated development and open development must be pursued in every country. At the same time, conditions in the east and west, developed and underdeveloped regions, coastal areas and inland areas are different, and we must proceed from reality.” Based on local reality, Guangxi leverages its location advantages to promote the active integration of industries into major strategies such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area; Qinghai-Gansu-Chongqing keeps its ecological mission in mind and accelerates the construction of ecological barriers in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River; it utilizes its resource endowments to transmit gas from the west to the east and electricity from the west to the east. , “Counting from the East to the West” is accelerating… Promote development through regional collaboration, achieve balance through coordinated linkage, and promote the opening up of the western region in the new era to coordinate efforts and form synergy. Practice shows that “put one’s own development into the overall situation of coordinated development.” Pei Yi’s eyes widened in an instant, and Yue said involuntarily: “Where did you get so much money?” “After a while, he suddenly remembered the love his father-in-law and mother-in-law had for his only daughter, and frowned.” Realizing misaligned development, coordinated development, complementary advantages, and organic integration can inject vitality and accumulate momentum for improving the quality and efficiency of development.

Opening up brings progress, while closing down inevitably leads to backwardness. The more open you are, the more proactive and confident you are. Based on the western region, focusing on the whole country, connecting the world, and continuously improving the level of opening up of the western region to the outside world, we will take new steps and reach a new level in promoting the development of the western region in the new era.

I am good at cooking, but I can still help Caiyi. Just tell me not to touch your hands. “”People’s Daily” (Page 05, May 16, 2024)
