The development of Chengdu and Chongqing has entered a new historical stage. Recently, the planning outline for the construction of Chengdu Chongqing twin city economic circle was officially implemented, which formulated the "mission statement" and "construction drawing" for the high-quality development of Chengdu and Chongqing, strengthened the driving role of Chongqing and Chengdu as central cities, and created an important growth pole in the West and a high-level model of regional cooperation. Insiders said that the Chengdu Chongqing twin city economic circle is the most densely populated area in Western China, with the strongest industrial foundation and the strongest innovation ability. It is considered to be the "fourth pole" of China's economy after Beijing Tianjin Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta and the Great Bay area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. In the future, by building an economic center, a science and innovation center and a highland of reform and opening up, it will become a highland of innovative strategies leading the west, radiating the whole country and facing the world, and an emerging pole core leading high-quality development. Better and stronger to build a new growth pole "The construction of Chengdu Chongqing twin city economic circle has become a national strategy. It should be said that the central government has given Chengdu an opportunity to become an excellent and strong polar nuclear function." according to Zhou Yuehui, associate professor of Economics Department of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee, the positioning of Chengdu Chongqing twin city economic circle to build a science and technology innovation center requires Chengdu to give full play to the resource advantages of a national innovative city, Strive to build itself into a pilot area driven by innovation in the West. Chen Gang, a professor at the school of economics of Southwest University of political science and law, said that the Chengdu Chongqing economic circle, located in the west of China, has the foundation and potential to become China's fourth largest urban agglomeration and growth pole. One belt, one road along the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River economic belt, is the starting point of the new Shuangcheng west economic zone. The ecological endowment of the region is excellent and has an important strategic position in the overall development of the country. The construction of Shuangcheng economic circle in Chengdu Chongqing region embodies the development concept of innovation, coordination, green, open and sharing. It is a major measure to promote the western development in the new era. According to the data, in 2020, the regional GDP of the twin city economic circle reached 6.6 trillion yuan, accounting for 0.2 percentage points higher than that in 2019, and the characteristics of growth pole and power source initially appeared. The data of the seventh national census also shows that the "two cores" of the twin city economic circle of Chongqing and Chengdu have entered the sequence of China's mega cities. It should also be noted that although Chengdu and Chongqing have obvious advantages in the western region, compared with the developed eastern region, there is still a large gap in the comprehensive strength and competitiveness of Chengdu and Chongqing, especially the infrastructure bottleneck is still obvious, the urban scale structure is unreasonable, the degree of division and coordination of industrial chain is not high, the supporting capacity of scientific and technological innovation is weak, and the gap between urban and rural development is still large, The task of ecological and environmental protection is arduous, and there are still many shortcomings in ensuring people's livelihood. In this regard, the outline proposes to build a multi-level rail transit network and greatly improve the level of infrastructure connectivity; Establish a regional collaborative innovation system and build an important economic center and scientific and technological innovation center with national influence; Reduce institutional transaction costs, further reform and opening up, and build a strategic highland of inland opening up; The people's quality of life has been improved and the level of ecological livability has been greatly improved. Make up for weaknesses and build an influential economic center The outline points out that under the guidance of improving the level of internal and external connectivity and focusing on building an integrated comprehensive transportation system, it puts forward the tasks of building an aviation portal hub and jointly building a twin city economic circle on the track, so as to accelerate the improvement of traditional and new infrastructure and jointly strengthen the function of the portal hub. Shi Yulong, director of the urban and small town reform and development center of the national development and Reform Commission, said that the permanent population of the main city of Chongqing and Chengdu, as mega cities, has increased significantly in the past decade, and the economic primacy has also improved, but problems such as the obvious weaknesses of the county still exist. Therefore, an important link in the construction of economic circle is to give full play to the leading role of dual core, enhance radiation drive, promote coordinated development, and accelerate the formation of a dense, functional, intensive and efficient spatial pattern. "High level supply is the top priority." Shi Yulong said that Chengdu and Chongqing have problems such as low degree of division and coordination of industrial chain, insufficient cooperation of industrial development and opening platform, etc. However, he said that Chengdu Chongqing region has the best science and education resources in the west, strong innovation ability of universities and scientific research institutes, and has also formed two trillion level industrial clusters of electronic information and automobile, as well as characteristic industries with national competitiveness such as equipment manufacturing. In terms of reform, the outline points out that to build an important experimental field for institutional reform and opening up in inland areas, the institutional transaction costs of Chengdu and Chongqing have been significantly reduced, and the benefit sharing and cost sharing mechanism across administrative regions has been continuously innovated and improved. Over the past year, Sichuan Chongqing cooperation has taken advantage of the momentum, party and government exchanges have become more and more intensive, policy coordination has been continuously strengthened, and substantive breakthroughs have been made in the first projects. The work of transportation construction, industrial cooperation, collaborative innovation, ecological environmental protection and public services has pressed the "fast forward" key and ran out of the "acceleration", showing a good trend of strategic guidance, high-level promotion and comprehensive deepening. At the junction of Gaotan Town, Linshui County, Guang'an City, Sichuan Province and Cizhu Town, Yubei District, Chongqing, the reporter boarded the viewing platform and looked up. Neat standardized plants are located at the foot of Huaying Mountain. This is the first inter provincial new area - Gaozhu New Area approved by the provincial level of Sichuan and Chongqing at the end of last year. "Guang'an and Yubei will respectively transfer cadres to form the Management Committee of Gaozhu new area and jointly invest in the establishment of Gaozhu development company. Policies such as land, finance and taxation and talents will be used and integrated and shared." Chen Jie, member of the Standing Committee of Guang'an municipal Party committee and Secretary of the Party committee of the Preparatory Committee of Sichuan Chongqing Gaozhu new area, said that the two sides will realize the integration of planning, infrastructure and transportation construction. Liu Zhangquan, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the people's Congress of Yubei district and director of the Preparatory Committee of Sichuan Chongqing Gaozhu new area, said that since the start of the construction of the twin city economic circle in Chengdu Chongqing, Gaozhu new area has achieved a breakthrough in the appropriate separation of economic zones and administrative regions for the first time. While promoting the free and efficient flow of economic elements across regions, Gaozhu new area has also accumulated reform experience throughout the country. "Dual core" leading collaborative innovation is the key Building a national influential scientific and technological innovation center is one of the important tasks of Chengdu and Chongqing. Shi Yulong said that taking the global new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial chain reconstruction as an opportunity to promote the high-quality development of manufacturing industry, vigorously develop key tasks such as digital economy, and shape a strong two city economic circle with a modern industrial system of efficient division of labor, dislocation development, orderly competition and mutual integration. Since the delimitation of the economic circle, Chengdu and Chongqing have vigorously strengthened cooperation in industrial development and scientific and technological innovation. It is reported that the two places will further expand advantageous industries such as automobile and electronic information. Li Jianping, deputy director of Chongqing development and Reform Commission, said that at present, the overall matching rate of automobile and electronic industries in Sichuan and Chongqing exceeds 80%. The foundation for jointly building a high-level automobile industry R & D, production and manufacturing base and jointly building an internationally competitive electronic information industry cluster has been established. In terms of electronic industry, the two places released the implementation plan for high-quality coordinated development of electronic information industry in Chengdu Chongqing twin city economic circle and prepared the panorama of development layout and industrial chain of Sichuan Chongqing electronic information industry in the 14th five year plan. It is estimated that by 2025, the total scale of electronic industries in the two places will exceed 3 trillion yuan. In addition, Sichuan and Chongqing jointly build the Western Science City, which aims to build a national influential scientific and technological innovation center, focusing on the two key areas of great health and artificial intelligence, and jointly implement key R & D projects.
