The most embarrassing city in Sichuan ranks second in the province, but why is GDP poor?

Mianyang City is located in the northwest of Sichuan, by the Fujiang River, and owns? China Science and Technology City? It is the second largest city in Sichuan Province.

The earliest human activities in this city can be traced back to the Neolithic Age 4,5 years ago. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the capital of the country was here. In the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang set up Fu County here, which became the predecessor of Mianyang City. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of Han Dynasty, upgraded this place to a higher level and set up Zitong County.

Later, it was renamed as Tongzhou and Mianzhou, which administered Deyang, Anxian, Mianzhu, Zitong and Luojiang. After the founding of the Republic of China, Mianzhou was officially renamed Mianyang, which laid the embryonic form of Mianyang today.

I have to say that there are many historical celebrities here. Dayu is said to have been born here, and Li Bai and Ouyang Xiu also grew up here.

Its education is the second highest level after Chengdu. Mianyang Middle School and Nanshan Middle School in the city give it every year. 211? 985? The university has sent thousands of students, famous for Bashu, and a large number of foreign students come here to study.

At the same time, Mianyang's economic strength is among the best in Sichuan Province. It is the central city in the northern part of Chengdu Plain Urban Agglomeration, one of the seven regional centers of Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, and even has its own airport.

however, it has a huge defect, and that is its GDP. Although it is the second largest city in Sichuan province, its GDP is not very high compared with other big cities, which can almost be described as poor.

Mianyang's GDP in Sichuan province is passable and looks quite high, which is more than 2 billion yuan higher than that of Deyang, the third place. However, compared with Ningbo and Suzhou, which are both the second cities in the province, there is a big difference.

Ningbo's GDP is as high as one trillion yuan, while Suzhou is even more exaggerated, even surpassing Nanjing, the provincial capital, to a crazy 1.8 trillion yuan. Mianyang is really dwarfed by them.

Why is the GDP of China Science and Technology City and Electronic Industry Base designated by this country only 3 billion, which is so unsatisfactory? First, the industrial structure is unreasonable.

due to the vigorous development of electronic industry, the secondary industry plays a leading role among the three major industries in Mianyang city. The income of its industrial enterprises is as high as 25 billion yuan, and the total output value of the construction industry is not low, with a full 75 billion yuan.

At the same time, agriculture, the primary industry, accounts for a relatively large proportion. Its agricultural added value reached 17.5 billion yuan, animal husbandry added value reached 1 billion yuan, and forestry and fishery added value also reached 3 billion yuan.

in contrast, the development of emerging industries is relatively slow, and the service industry is not developed. In terms of industrial distribution, there is still a heavy homogenization phenomenon, which leads to weak agglomeration effect. In this way, Mianyang's industrial structure needs further adjustment and optimization. Second, there are problems in the integration of military and civilian industries.

Mianyang is an old industrial base in Sichuan with good industrial infrastructure, so it was selected by the state as an important nuclear industry and military industrial base in southwest China. Its military enterprises are relatively developed, accounting for a high proportion of the industry, reaching 7% of the industry.

it stands to reason that if military enterprises are properly integrated with civilian enterprises, they should be able to assist economic development well. However, due to the problems of law, capital and talents, it is difficult for military enterprises to play a role in coordinating economic construction and development, and it is impossible to achieve the unity of developing the military and promoting economic development. Third, the regional development of Mianyang is quite different.

Fucheng District and jiangyou city account for the largest proportion of Mianyang's economy, with the GDP of Fucheng District reaching 75 billion yuan and that of jiangyou city reaching 43 billion yuan. Together, these two places account for nearly 12 billion yuan, accounting for half of Mianyang's GDP and providing Mianyang with the most GDP.

however, Beichuan county and Pingwu county are poverty-stricken counties at the national level. The GDP of Beichuan county is 4.4 billion yuan, and that of Pingwu county is 4.5 billion yuan, which is less than 1 billion yuan, which has greatly delayed Mianyang's GDP.

At the same time, the industries among these areas are different. Hi-tech Zone and jiangyou city mainly focus on industry, while Yanting County focuses on agriculture.

the total industrial output value of the high-tech zone has reached 11 billion yuan, and there is basically no agricultural income; Jiangyou city's total industrial output value is 47 billion yuan, much higher than the agricultural 17 billion yuan; The total added value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery in Yanting County is 3.8 billion yuan, and the industry is less than 1.6 billion yuan, which is not even half that of agriculture. These gaps lead to low level of regional cooperation and poor industrial linkage. (Baidu entry in these areas)

These three reasons mainly limit Mianyang's economic development. In addition, there are factors such as attracting investment is not as good as coastal areas and infrastructure is not as good as coastal areas. It is precisely because of these factors that Mianyang, which ranks second in Sichuan Province, lags far behind the second city in coastal areas.

In order to promote Mianyang's economic growth and narrow the gap with the second coastal city, the Mianyang government has also made a lot of efforts. They are also adjusting and optimizing their industrial structure, promoting the integration of military and civilian enterprises, and narrowing the gap in regional development. I believe that under the leadership of Mianyang Municipal Government, this second city in Sichuan Province should be able to develop better.
