Ten suggestions for Anhui’s economic development!
On January 12, 2010, the State Council approved the implementation of the "Plan for the Demonstration Zone for Industrial Transfer in the Wanjiang Urban Belt". Anhui, which has been neglected by the country for thirty years, has finally been promoted to national strategic development for the first time. As the first decade of the 21st century is coming to an end, Anhui has finally ushered in an opportunity for great development. The "Wanjiang Urban Belt Transfer Demonstration Zone Plan" 》The state has formulated strategic positioning and development for Anhui as follows:
1. Planning scope: The Wanjiang urban belt undertakes industrial transfer demonstration zone. The planning scope is the Yangtze River Basin of Anhui Province, mainly including Hefei, Wuhu, Ma'anshan, Tongling, The entire nine cities of Anqing, Chizhou, Chaohu, Chuzhou and Xuancheng, as well as Shucheng County and Jin'an District of Lu'an City, total 59 counties (cities and districts), radiating to the entire province of Anhui and connecting to the Yangtze River Delta region. In 2008, the planned area had a population of 30.58 million and a regional GDP of 5.818 billion yuan, accounting for 45% and 66% of Anhui Province respectively. The "Plan" proposes that by 2015, the economic aggregate of the demonstration zone will have increased significantly, the regional GDP will more than double that of 2008, the urbanization rate will reach 55%, and the scientific and technological progress contribution rate will reach more than 60%; openness and cooperation will continue to strengthen, and urban and rural residents will Income has increased significantly, basic public service levels have improved significantly; the living environment has become better, and the water quality of the Yangtze River and Chaohu Lake has improved. By 2020, the core competitiveness of the leading industries in the demonstration zone will be significantly enhanced, the level of independent innovation will be among the best in the country, and the ecological environment will be beautiful. It will cooperate with the Yangtze River Delta in division of labor, complement each other's advantages, and develop integratedly, becoming the most influential urban belt in Anhui and even the country.
2. Industrial spatial pattern: The Wanjiang urban belt’s industrial transfer demonstration zone will build an industrial spatial pattern of “one axis, two cores and two wings”. The “one axis” includes Anqing, Chizhou, Tongling, Chaohu, Wuhu, The six cities along the Yangtze River in Ma'anshan are the main axis for undertaking industrial transfers; the "dual core" refers to Hefei and Wuhu, which are the two most dynamic and potential growth poles for the economic development of our province at present and even in the future, and are the main axis for undertaking industrial transfers. The core area; the "two wings" include Chuzhou and Xuancheng, striving to create a frontier area for undertaking industrial expertise in coastal areas, especially the Yangtze River Delta.
3. Focus on industrial development: focusing on industrial upgrading and cultivating new economic growth points, actively absorbing capital, technology, talents, brands and other elements, clarifying the direction of building a modern industrial system in the Wanjiang urban belt. Focusing on revitalizing the equipment manufacturing industry, accelerating the upgrading of the raw material industry, accelerating the growth of the light textile industry, focusing on cultivating high-tech industries, actively developing modern service industries closely related to the Yangtze River Delta, and building modern agriculture, the key points for industrial development are put forward.
Now that the Wanjiang Urban Belt Demonstration Zone for Industrial Transfer has been elevated to a national strategy, it is in a new era of comprehensive transformation, leapfrog development, accumulation, and accelerated rise. Anhui is ushering in a moment of great development, and its strategic positioning has been dormant for many years. Anhui, which has been stagnant, finally has a clear development direction. Anhui is now in the stage of accelerating its rise. It is undeniable that Anhui is still an underdeveloped area and there are still many factors that restrict Anhui's development. Anhui's development should have the following ten characteristics. Suggestions:
1. Create a clean, efficient government with modern service awareness
Exaggeration, "fake, big, and empty" are very prevalent in the province's officialdom, and the practical style is very weak and corrupt. Corruption continues, buying and selling of officials, nepotism and familialism are prevalent in the officialdom; great efforts need to be made to improve and iron-handedly eradicate the sluggish style of officialdom such as buying and selling of officials and not doing anything, eradicate officials who act indiscriminately, show Anhui's new image, and create a small government, A big society has a more efficient service awareness and thinking model than developed areas.
2. Promote the policy of promoting the capable, giving way to the mediocre, and dismissing the mediocre, and actively absorbing talents
An online statistical data shows: Anhui’s ability to absorb college graduates is Too weak. Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Beijing, Shandong and other provinces and cities are the main destinations for Anhui graduates. Especially for doctoral students and master's students, the outflow rate reached 78.73 and 79.30 respectively."
The premise of great development in the 21st century is the talent strategy. In the global WEB2.0 era, backward areas seeking great development must have more advanced ideas and thinking than developed areas, and eliminate those who are out of touch with the development of the times. Public servants who are older in age should actively implement the strategy of attracting talents, overcome all obstacles, openly recruit talents from all over the country, implement the policy of promoting the capable, giving way to the mediocre, and removing the mediocre, mobilizing and guiding all the power and wisdom of the government and the people to do everything possible to find talents. The great development of Anhui requires practical leaders like Zhan Xialai to overcome gaps, seek ideas, value people's livelihood, and pursue development.
3. Create a stable and transparent legal environment,
establish a fair and transparent institutional environment, carry out activities to combat power rent-seeking, and severely punish government agencies or governments that violate laws, regulations, and disciplines The collection and confiscation behavior of individual public servants makes the government's distribution behavior correspond to its administrative functions and inhibits the breeding of corruption. Gradually reduce and dilute the power of the administrative department and transform its power behavior into service behavior. Institutional constraints on public officials should be strengthened.
Establishing a positive, stable and transparent legal environment can better serve the modern business social system. The soft environment has been greatly improved and it has become a representative of regional soft power.
4. Establishing a tourist area in southern Anhui
High-speed and high-speed railways centered on Hefei are being built, and the largest area in China with two mountains and one lake (Huangshan Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, and Taiping Lake) The transportation from the rich southern Anhui tourist area to the central city of the Yangtze River Delta is still imperfect. Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai should be jointly applied to the state for the Shanghai-Wuzhou intercity railway project as soon as possible, (Shanghai-Huzhou-Guangde-Xuancheng-Wuhu, about 260 kilometers, which intercity railway and connected to the Ninghang-Hangzhou and Ning'an intercity railways), and at the same time, the Guangde section of the Shanghai-Wuhan intercity railway was expanded to the Huangshan express railway branch line (Guangde-Ningguo-Jixi-Huangshan), bringing the richest railway in southern Anhui The tourist areas (Huangshan, Chizhou, and Xuancheng) are built into a 1-2 hour traffic circle in the center of the three-pin economic region of Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou, thus entering the era of "same-city effect" between the southern Anhui region and the Yangtze River Delta central city;
From the perspective of urban regionalization development, it is mainly manifested in the evolutionary path of agglomeration → centralization → diffusion → central city → reagglomeration → diffusion → urban agglomeration. Therefore, the Wannan tourist area and the urban agglomerations of Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou are at 1 The -2-hour traffic circle is in the "re-agglomeration" stage of urban regional development. Therefore, the prerequisite for the development of the urban circle must be the construction of faster transportation and other infrastructure. The shortening of geographical space will inevitably bring about deep-seated multiplexing. Interaction makes it easier to accept the powerful radiation functions from Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and other Yangtze River Delta cities, and the "agglomeration effect" of mutual exchanges of people, logistics, capital flows and information flows. At the same time, the convenience of transportation can better demonstrate to the Yangtze River Delta The splendid Huizhou culture, the Four Treasures of the Study, Huizhou architecture, Huizhou studies, Huizhou ink and other areas are the areas with the richest tourism resources in China.
5. Build a cultural platform and an economic opera platform
Anhui has numerous cultural resources, including countless hometowns of celebrities, splendid Anhui culture, and the melodious Huangmei Opera; especially the second-largest Anhui province As for Peking Opera's Huangmei Opera, due to various factors such as bureaucracy squeezing out talents, Huangmei Opera has now declined to a state of decline with no successors and no successors! Compared to Kun Opera, which became a world intangible cultural heritage and shined at this year's World Expo, Huangmei Opera has already been in the culture Already marginalized in the industry.
Revitalize the cultural industry and vigorously eliminate bureaucracy in the province, especially those who are "fake, big, and empty". Do not let laymen lead insiders, truly let insiders be in charge of the cultural industry, and absorb a large number of people. Excellent talents should vigorously publicize and promote Huizhou culture, especially in today's modern business society where integrity is generally lacking, and the spirit of "integrity and avoidance of bullying" of Huizhou merchants should be promoted. Actively promote Anhui's cultural industry resources through various platforms such as books, audio and video, film and television, media, performing arts, and the Internet to serve as a bridge for economic development.
6. Leap-forward development: avoid the "pollution first, then treatment" model
Guangde, the fastest growing county in Anhui, attracts long-term development due to its proximity to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. The county with the most investment in the Triangle has a rapid and eye-catching economic development. However, due to its emphasis on GDP, the introduction of high energy consumption and high pollution enterprises such as chemical industry, textile printing and dyeing, and even a sewage treatment plant, the air quality in Guangde County is significantly worse than that in the province. The surrounding counties and cities are poor.
To adopt leapfrog development is to follow the old path of "development first, governance later" in the past, selling land at low prices to take over and introduce eliminated polluting and energy-consuming enterprises that have been driven out of the Yangtze River Delta at the expense of the environment. , to achieve short-term development and create officials’ achievements in GDP, it is better to focus on the long-term and only find another way; it is not wise to develop the economy and compete with surrounding areas for GDP to pollute the environment. We should maximize our strengths and avoid weaknesses and follow the strategic development path of comparative advantages. In a relatively good ecological environment and low labor costs To seek breakthroughs under the current situation, we must focus on the construction of the ecological environment under the current situation that the environment has not been polluted, introduce non-polluting light industrial enterprises, and create an ecological leisure back garden in the Yangtze River Delta. On the premise of respecting and maintaining nature, we must be people-oriented, follow nature, and human beings. The purpose of social harmony is to create a harmonious society and follow the path of sustainable and harmonious development.
7. Protect the interests of farmers during the land development process and avoid violent demolition
With the rise of the Wanjiang Urban Belt Transfer Demonstration Zone, foreign investors, especially those from the Yangtze River Delta, have come in droves. It is not uncommon for local governments to establish development zones and industrial parks to attract foreign investment, expropriate farmers' land at low prices, demolish farmers' houses, and even resort to violent means such as arresting, beating, and detaining farmers who resist the illegal expropriation of farmers' land.
In this era of Internet explosion, using this method can only discredit the local area. In the process of local economic development, land acquisition and house demolition should actively negotiate and communicate with farmers, compensate landless farmers in accordance with legal compensation standards, and provide social security for farmers, or use farmers' land as shares to invest in local development zones, participate in local dividends, and avoid Violence and friendly consultation with the people are the basic principles of a harmonious society.
8. Establish an enlightened and open speech environment, and actively respond to the handling of public security crises
The Zhongan Forum, a subsidiary of Zhongan Online, often adopts the method of blocking posts and The posts were deleted, the IDs of the posters were blocked, and the Hefei forum also restricted many posts criticizing current affairs. In a sense, this revealed the self-isolation of Anhui’s online public opinion, and also revealed that provincial forums had no influence nationwide.
Criticizing current affairs, criticizing current ills, and offering suggestions are actually the poster's care and concern for his hometown, exposing some dark phenomena and chaotic phenomena, and putting forward his own ideas for regional development, which require forum management. Proper guidance of members does not mean deleting them all.
When dealing with emergencies and public crises, do not turn a deaf ear to online public opinion. On the basis of the most basic bottom line of human civilized government, emergencies should be responded to with a positive attitude. . However, officials in the province are "fake, big, and empty" and there are no individual officials with any enlightened and open actual actions and remarks.
In the era of WEB2.0, it is even more necessary to have an enlightened and open environment, interaction between the government and the people, broaden the people's wisdom, and mobilize the people to actively participate in social public affairs.
9. Vigorously build highway transportation and other infrastructure
“The car jumps and Anhui arrives”! "When I arrived in Anhui, roads were built every year, but the roads were not built well." This is the evaluation of Anhui highways by people from other provinces, and it is also a true portrayal of Anhui highways. It also brings shame to every Anhui Province person. Especially in the Xuancheng area, which borders the two most developed provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the National Highway 318 is full of potholes and bumps. Riding in the car is like riding in a rickshaw, jumping up and down, shaking one's internal organs.
If you want to be rich, you must first build roads and build them well. This is a necessary prerequisite for economic development in any place; successful people look for methods, and failed people look for excuses; the invisible gap is the biggest gap. , Failure to see the crisis is the biggest crisis; Anhui’s transportation department should deeply review and reflect on the reasons for the formation of “tofu dregs” roads, and cannot always use the excuse of the gap with developed countries to excuse it, otherwise it will be a stumbling block and sinner for Anhui’s development.
Constructing high-quality roads and roadside ecological green belts is a necessary condition for attracting foreign investors.
10. Increase support for private enterprises in the province and strive to create well-known brands
Overall, no private enterprise in the province is well-known in the country, let alone a well-known brand in China; the deep-seated The reason is that the official carnivores suppressed and restricted private enterprises and the policy of "eating, taking, stuck, and asking for" was very popular.
As a state-owned enterprise, the glory of Chery Automobile has nothing to do with the then Secretary of the Wuhu Municipal Party Committee Zhan Xialai. A hard-working style is inseparable. It is precisely because of Zhan's car dream and his pragmatic style that Chery has become one of China's three major national car brands. Zhan is the most hard-working official in Anhui Province in the past 30 years of reform and opening up.
Create a broad, tolerant and generous environment, adopt the policy of giving more, taking less, and being flexible, as well as enlightened policies of financial support, support and guidance, and actively guide all people to start their own businesses. The private economy will become an important force. economic power.
Survey on Huoshan County Economic Development
Focusing on how to speed up county economic development under the new situation, we recently conducted a survey on Huoshan County and felt about the county’s approach and experience in developing the economy. It deserves attention and summary, and some thoughts have been made on accelerating the economic development of counties in the province.
(1) Huoshan County is a typical mountainous area, reservoir area and old area county. The location is relatively isolated, the resources are very limited, and the congenital conditions are not superior. However, after many years of exploration, a very good road has been formed. The unique development path has become a model for the economic development of counties in the province and has attracted widespread attention. Through discussions and inspections, five things impressed me deeply: First, in the face of changes in the macro environment and economic cycles, economic development in most places has experienced ups and downs, but Huoshan's economy has always maintained a stable and healthy development trend. During the 14 years from 1990 to 2004, the county's GDP grew at an average annual rate of 13.7, which was 2.2 percentage points higher than the average growth rate of counties in the province during the same period. Second, Huoshan was once a typical agricultural county in mountainous areas, and its current industry-led economic growth pattern is quite prominent. In 1989, the county's industrial added value accounted for only 24% of the gross product, and last year it was as high as 53%, ranking first among the counties in the province; in 2004, 63% of the county's fiscal revenue came from industrial taxes. Third, as a small marginal county deep in the Dabie Mountains, the export-oriented economy has formed a certain climate. Huoshan's great trend of opening up has created a good atmosphere in which everyone talks about opening up and the whole county strives to attract investment. In 2004, the county's export earnings were US$50.47 million, ranking among the top three at the county level in the province. Fourth, in the face of macro-control and various factor constraints, Huoshan's park economy is still booming. The county's industrial park was founded in 2002. In just over two years, 20 companies have entered the park, of which 16 companies and 26 projects entered the park after macro-control. Fifth, the development of Huoshan is not just a standout industrial economy, but a comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. They paid attention to the coordinated development of the economy and society, and the protection and construction of the ecological environment. They clearly stated that "we need not only gold and silver mountains, but also green waters and green mountains, and pollution should not enter Huoshan" and "do more work to lay the foundation and manage the long term, and waste people and money I will definitely not do it.” After years of hard work, they have created four "business cards" that are well-known across the country: the National Ecological Construction Demonstration County, the National Social Security Model County, the National Advanced County for Civilized Villages and Towns, and the Best Investment City for Zhejiang Businessmen.
(2) Under the same macro environment, why can Huoshan County, which has poor basic conditions, break through its limitations and accelerate development? Through research, I feel that there are three most fundamental things:
First, Huoshan County has adhered to emancipating the mind, advancing with the times, and constantly giving new connotations and practical content to the emancipated mind in the development process. . In their view, for a mountainous county with relatively limited information and a late start in the marketization process, the emancipation of ideas and the renewal of concepts are the decisive leading forces and must be grasped closely. To this end, they must carry out in-depth and detailed ideological mobilization work before and after proposing every development idea and strategic deployment.
At the same time, vigorously promote the comprehensive reform of counties, increase support for county economies, accelerate the establishment of new operating mechanisms for rural grassroots work, improve the service methods and service levels of provincial departments at the county level, and comprehensively improve the county economic development environment.
