As an international hub city, what opportunities and challenges will Xi face in the second western development?

China's western development began in 2000. Up to now, it has been 20 years. Over the past 20 years, the western provinces have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the economic level, living standards of residents and ecological environment have all made remarkable progress.

Take Shaanxi as an example. In 2000, Shaanxi's GDP was only 65.438+0804 billion yuan, with a per capita GDP of 4,968 yuan.

By 20 19, the GDP of Shaanxi Province will reach 25,793.1700 million yuan, and the GDP scale will increase by 14.3 times compared with 2000. The per capita GDP also rose from 4968 yuan in 2000 to 67 yuan in 20 19. In 250 yuan, the per capita GDP increased by 13.5 times.

As the largest city in Shaanxi, the total GDP of Xi in 2000 was 6885 1 100 million yuan, and the per capita GDP was 9.484 yuan. By 20 19, the GDP of Xi' an will rise to 93.21.1.90 billion yuan, and the per capita GDP will reach 9.3 1.77 yuan.

From these data, we can clearly see that the effect of the western development is very obvious, and it is very effective for promoting the economic development of western provinces.

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the western development, China began to implement new plans for many western provinces and the second western development.

On May 17, 2020, the State Council issued "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Development of the Western Region in the New Era and Forming a New Pattern", which fully supported the development of western provinces from 36 aspects. After the introduction of this opinion, I believe that the western provinces will usher in new development opportunities and meet new milestones in the future.

Among them, Xi 'an, as one of the most important cities in the west, has great potential in the future and huge development space.

For example, the opinion clearly points out that cities such as Chongqing, Chengdu and Xi are encouraged to accelerate the construction of international gateway hub cities. In addition, the following points are directly related to Shaanxi:

1. Support Shaanxi, give full play to its comprehensive advantages, build an inland open highland and develop an open hub.

2. Support Shaanxi to fully tap its historical and cultural advantages and play the role of an important channel node of the Silk Road Economic Belt.

3. Strengthen the reciprocal cooperation between the northwest provinces and the eastern and central provinces such as Jiangsu, Shandong and Henan.

4. Strengthen the cooperation and interaction between the northwest region and the southwest region, promote the coordinated development of urban agglomerations in the Guanzhong Plain of Chengdu and Chongqing, and build a core engine to lead the opening up and development of the western region.

It can be clearly seen that Shaanxi's second western development is highly valued, which means that other cities including xi will usher in a new round of development opportunities in the future. For Xi 'an, I think it will face the following opportunities.

1, scientific and technological innovation and development.

Xi 'an, as one of the areas where universities are concentrated in China, has always had strong scientific and technological innovation strength. After the second western development, it is believed that Xi 'an's advantage of scientific and technological innovation will be further revealed, and Xi 'an may become a new highland of scientific and technological innovation in China and a core city leading scientific and technological innovation in the western region.

2. Development of modern industry.

Xi 'an can make full use of its advantages in educational resources and technical resources, integrate current industries, and thus promote the development of modern industries. In the future, Xi 'an's artificial intelligence, big data, industrial Internet, internet plus and other emerging industries will usher in an explosive growth period.

3. Infrastructure has been further improved.

The second western development clearly put forward to strengthen infrastructure planning and construction, which means that the infrastructure of many cities including Xi 'an will be further improved in the future, and Xi 'an's position as a transportation hub in the west will be further consolidated.

4. The urbanization process has been further accelerated.

In the second western development, the Opinions clearly pointed out that the development of urban agglomerations in Guanzhong Plain should be accelerated. As the core city of Guanzhong Plain Urban Agglomeration, Xi 'an's driving ability and radiation ability will be further strengthened in the future, and with the development of urbanization, related industries including real estate and infrastructure will also usher in good development opportunities.

5. International cooperation has been further strengthened.

Xi 'an has always been a city with close foreign cooperation among the western cities in China. With the new round of western development, Xi 'an's international cooperation will be further expanded, which will further enhance Xi 'an's international status and popularity, which is very helpful for attracting foreign investment and promoting the internationalization of Xi 'an local enterprises.

Of course, while facing many development opportunities, Xi 'an will also face some new challenges, mainly in the following aspects.

1, the cost of production factors rises.

Great changes have taken place in China's economy in the past decades, and the corresponding factors of production, such as labor cost and land cost, have increased to varying degrees.

At present, the cost of production factors in some countries in Southeast Asia is relatively low. Compared with these countries in Southeast Asia, many cities, including Xi 'an, do not have much advantage in attracting foreign investment, including some domestic industries.

2. Financial issues.

The development of a city can not be separated from the financial support, especially in the western development, many projects need a lot of capital investment, but compared with some western cities such as Chongqing and Chengdu, Xi's financial income is relatively low.

For example, in 20 19, Chongqing's general public budget revenue reached 21349 million yuan, and Chengdu's general public budget revenue reached1483 million yuan, while the corresponding fiscal revenue in 20 19 was only 71630 million yuan, which was less than that in Chengdu.

Therefore, how to improve fiscal revenue and deal with the problems of fiscal revenue and enterprise development in the future will be the problems Xi 'an faces.

3. The housing price problem.

The new round of western development will be very different from the previous western development. For a city like Xi 'an, the second western development will focus on the development of advanced manufacturing and strategic emerging industries, which needs strong human resources as support.

Although Xi has attracted many talents through various policies in recent years, many graduates will settle in Xi directly after graduation. However, while a large number of people have settled in Xi 'an, the housing prices in Xi 'an have been rising in recent years. How to deal with the relationship between housing prices and talents is also a major problem that Xi 'an has to face.

Xi 'an, as the central city in northwest China, is the center of gravity, whether in Shaanxi or the whole Xi 'an.

In any case, the second western development can't avoid Xi 'an. With the landing of funds and policies, Xi 'an should seize these opportunities.

1; Accelerate infrastructure construction. Infrastructure is the foundation of economic development. After replacement, Xixian New Area hopes to be fully integrated into Xi 'an and increase the population and land hinterland of Xi 'an.

2; Continue to carry forward local characteristics. Xi has a long history, splendid culture, numerous local historical sites and a long history. These are valuable resources of Xi, and we must publicize them in a planned and focused way. In fact, Xi is doing very well now, an online celebrity city.

3; Intensify innovation and development. Xi's scientific and educational strength is very strong. 6 2 1 1, there are only a handful of cities in China that have surpassed Xi 'an in science and education. This provides the most basic talent demand for Xi to develop high-tech industries. Of course, in terms of policy, it is best to be competitive with other cities.

4. Streamline administrative procedures and put an end to formalism. The news about Xi 'an exposed in the news recently also reflects this problem. Put things into practice, instead of holding them high and falling gently.

5; Speed up traffic construction. The construction of the Shaanxi section of Wuxi-Wuxi railway was accelerated, the Ningxi railway was fully promoted, and the east-west access was smooth. I believe that Xi 'an's competitiveness and convenient transportation will make it easier for enterprise talents to take root.

The western development in the new period, the policy of directly naming Shaanxi in the opinion;

Support Chongqing, Sichuan and Shaanxi to give full play to their comprehensive advantages, build inland open highlands and develop open hubs.

Support Gansu and Shaanxi to fully tap their historical and cultural advantages and give play to the important role of the channels and nodes of the Silk Road Economic Belt.

The policy of naming Xi 'an directly in the Opinions;

Encourage Chongqing, Chengdu and Xi to speed up the construction of international gateway hub cities.

Developing "Three Economies" and Building Shaanxi Cultural Brand

In the opinion of more than 10,000 words, Shaanxi is still in the first step of the western development, but Chongqing, as a municipality directly under the central government, its special position determines the embodiment of different policies of various provinces and cities in the western development.

Shaanxi was named twice, once for the construction of inland open highlands and the development of open hubs.

International gateway hub city and core engine

In addition to directly naming names, the Opinions call for strengthening cooperation and interaction between the northwest and southwest regions, promoting the coordinated development of Chengdu-Chongqing and Guanzhong Plain urban agglomerations, and building a core engine leading the opening and development of the western region.

Judging from the new land-sea passage in the west, Xi is not only a hub, but also the center of Guanzhong urban agglomeration. In the western development, in addition to the above opportunities, Xi is also facing the development challenges of Chengdu and Chongqing. However, Xi 'an's geographical location can't be replaced by anyone, and opportunities outweigh challenges!

Xi is the largest city in the west and a national central city, so the western development should naturally be in the forefront.

The western development requires gradual opening up, and Xi, Chengdu and Chongqing require the construction of an international hub city. There is no doubt that Xi 'an, as the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, the core city of the Belt and Road and the bridgehead of the western development, has high positioning, strong strength and great potential. He has the following advantages.

1. As a national central city, the third international metropolis, the core city of the Belt and Road Initiative, the starting point of the Silk Road and profound history and culture, Xi 'an has become a business card to promote China. Chang 'an is a business card for China to go global.

Second, it has profound historical and cultural heritage and rich tourism resources. Terracotta warriors and horses are Xi's strongest trump card. Xi is the ancient capital of the 13th dynasty, and it is also famous for many tourist attractions at home and abroad. The city that never sleeps in Datang, which has been popular in recent three years, is a pedestrian street with the theme of prosperous Tang culture. Under the propaganda of domestic and foreign media, the dream of returning to Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty is full of feelings and extraordinary attraction. Twelve o'clock in Chang 'an last year caused a craze at home and abroad. It can be said that Xi 'an will certainly reap many benefits from the blowout development of the cultural tourism industry in the future!

Third, Xi universities are rich in resources and have outstanding advantages in military and aerospace. Xi 'an is the capital of hard technology, with strong hard power. I believe that under this wave of western development, many unicorn enterprises will be born with the funds attracted by the combination of hard technology and hard technology, thus driving the secondary production of Xi' an and making Xi' an industry bigger and stronger!

4.Xi is located in the birthplace of China, and the construction of high-speed rail network is extremely important for the country. The development of the western region emphasizes accelerating the construction of new infrastructure. I believe that we can seize the opportunity, attract capital, speed up the construction of high-speed rail, form a herringbone high-speed rail network as soon as possible, speed up the construction of 5g, and undertake industries and talents from the southeast coast to settle in Xi 'an.

5.Xi Anzhou, Qin, Han and Tang Wenhua are splendid, with many sites. Unfortunately, due to the lack of funds, such as the Han Chang 'an City Ruins Park, it has not been well protected and displayed, and its development has been backward for many years. Xi needs the help of the state to protect these world-famous parks, carry out appropriate transformation, attract tourists and promote the development of cultural tourism industry.

Geographically, the focus of the national economic reform and opening up has been in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, and these two regions have indeed made extraordinary achievements. Now, the second western development is an important choice to rethink the national economy, national economic security and the great rejuvenation of the nation.

Xi is an international hub city, an important central city in the western part of the country and a famous ancient capital of China. The flourishing age of the Tang Dynasty is still a topic that Chinese people relish and are proud of. It can be seen that as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Xi will not lack popularity.

Being able to have a glorious era in history shows that it has extraordinary conditions. Today, the geographical location of Xi 'an is still important and irreplaceable. Xi's economy, culture, science and technology, and transportation are at the upper-middle level in the whole country, with great potential.

With its important and irreplaceable geographical position, profound historical precipitation, strong comprehensive competitiveness and late-comer advantage, Xi 'an can look forward to brilliant again!

Xi should be upgraded to a municipality directly under the central government.

One thing Xi 'an wants to do is to introduce manufacturing industry and build Guanzhong industrial corridor. The second is to improve the level of urban construction, beautify the environment and speed up the transformation of villages in cities. The third is to make tourism bigger and stronger, improve the quality of tourism services, and strive for tourism to drive the tertiary industry.

Group enterprises are arranged in groups to improve the efficiency of gathering. Regional development is inseparable from the policy support of the central provinces. Xi 'an, as a prefecture-level city in Shaanxi Province, belongs to the Weihe River impact plain and lives in the south bank of Weihe River in the hinterland of Qinling Mountains. Annual profits and taxes shall be turned over to the state finance. Total industrial investment. According to the outline of land use development in the State Council. The five-year and fifteen-year development programs of the whole region were implemented steadily. Xi 'an in Shaanxi is just one of the energy resources in northern Shaanxi. Hanzhong: Kang: Shangluo Tourism Resources Baoji: Xianyang: Tongchuan: Weinan Industrial Tourism Comprehensive Development. Make Shaanxi a big profit and tax province in China. Radiation. Henan. Hubei builds a nest to attract phoenix, forming the largest economic comprehensive point at the junction of northwest and north China. It is easy to live in a tourist center city, thus getting the support of the central government.

Opportunity: attracting a large number of Chinese and foreign merchants, the business heat continues to rise, which is conducive to individual entrepreneurship and work.

Challenge: the business environment needs to be improved, and there is a clear gap between infrastructure, human environment and human resources and eastern cities.
