Xiamen harbors tourists from all over the world, and the door is open to thousands of waves. In October 1980, the State Council approved the establishment of Xiamen Special Economic Zone. A year later, with a loud explosion on the construction site in the lake, the curtain of the construction of Xiamen Special Economic Zone officially opened. Since then, the "gate of the building" has opened earth shaking changes, practiced the great initiative of the special economic zone under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and became a wonderful interpretation of socialism with Chinese characteristics on a piece of white paper. For 40 years, it has been an eventful year, and for 40 years, it has been a blue thread. Characterized by cross-strait integration, driven by reform and opening up and pursuing high-quality development, Xiamen Special Economic Zone has given full play to the role of "experimental field" of system reform, an important window of opening to the outside world and a vanguard in modernization construction in the past 40 years. The coastal defense front line, which once had high winds and waves and limited development, has constantly moved forward to a high-quality and high-quality modern international city. Set up for Taiwan and explore a new way of cross-strait integration and development Across the Strait, the waves are like songs. Among the first four special economic zones in China, the most prominent feature of Xiamen is "set up for Taiwan". Over the past 40 years, Xiamen Special Economic Zone has comprehensively expanded cross-strait exchanges and cooperation by virtue of its regional advantages to Taiwan, so as to serve the overall situation of Taiwan work first. As one of the first Taiwanese businessmen to invest in the mainland, Lu Lizhen, chairman of Jianlin group, came to the mainland in 1987. After investigating several cities, he finally chose Xiamen. "Xiamen is very close to Taiwan and has the same local accent, cultural customs and customs. More importantly, Xiamen, as a special economic zone, has policy support." Lu Lizhen said that at the beginning, it took only 18 months for the company to build a 60000 square meter plant. "At that time, it was amazing." Relying on the mainland market and the support of local policies and talents, Jianlin Group officially landed in a shares last year. "Xiamen is a good investment destination and a model of cross-strait cooperation." Said LV Lizhen. Over the past 40 years, Xiamen has made continuous efforts to "break the ice" in cross-strait three direct links, economic and trade cooperation, personnel exchanges, cultural exchanges and grass-roots political party exchanges, continued to deepen the comprehensive supporting reform of cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and built "one zone and three centers" such as cross-strait emerging industry and Modern Service Industry Cooperation Demonstration Zone, cross-strait financial center, Southeast international shipping center and Taiwan Trade Center, Xiamen Taiwan integrated circuit, flat panel display and other industrial cooperation has yielded fruitful results. Today, Xiamen has become the region with the closest cross-strait economic and trade cooperation. It has introduced more than 20 Taiwan's top 100 enterprises such as Youda and CHENHONG, with a cumulative actual use of Taiwan capital of US $11.7 billion. The industrial output value of Taiwan enterprises accounts for about 1 / 4 of the total industrial output value above the designated level in Xiamen. The import volume of Taiwan's fruits, food, wine, books and rice at Xiamen Port ranks first in the mainland, and it is the largest trade port with Taiwan in the mainland. Not long ago, the annual cross-strait forum was postponed to the end of the year due to the impact of the epidemic, and all walks of life on both sides of the Strait still showed high enthusiasm. As the most active platform for cross-strait exchanges, Xiamen has focused on building more than 50 large-scale cross-strait exchange activities, such as the Strait forum, the industry expo, the Cultural Expo and the map fair, and the results have been continuously improved. The future of cross-strait cooperation lies in the youth. Fan Jiangfeng, a young entrepreneur from Taoyuan, Taiwan, compares Xiamen to a "dream land". In 2016, fan Jiangfeng and mainland partners jointly founded Xiamen Qida taixiang entrepreneurship Service Co., Ltd. and now achieved remarkable results: helping more than 7000 Taiwanese youth come to Fujian for exchanges, and helping more than 300 Taiwanese youth and 150 projects land in Fujian. "In Xiamen, I saw a scenery I had never seen in Taiwan." Fan Jiangfeng said that Xiamen has become the first choice for many Taiwanese youth to develop on the mainland. Xiamen has launched a number of initiatives to benefit Taiwan and the people, innovatively established Taiwan related service institutions such as Taiwan compatriots service center, Taiwan compatriots post station and cross-strait youth entrepreneurship base, and actively created better conditions and built a bigger stage for Taiwan youth to pursue, build and realize their dreams. More and more Taiwan's new generation have entered and integrated into Xiamen, becoming a beautiful scenery of youth. Xiamen has more than 20 cross-strait youth entrepreneurship bases, of which 7 have been approved as "cross-strait youth employment and entrepreneurship bases (demonstration sites)" by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council. According to incomplete statistics, at present, more than 120000 Taiwan compatriots work and live in Xiamen and enjoy the same treatment as local residents. Many Taiwan compatriots take the initiative to become volunteers, participate in community governance and integrate into local life. "Taiwan compatriots and mainland compatriots have become community communities." Xiong Qi, assistant director of Taiwan compatriots in Xinglong community, Huli District, Xiamen, said that in their community, compatriots on both sides of the Strait have changed from "strangers" to "friendly neighbors", truly realizing "one family on both sides of the Strait" with common emotional experience. Wu Jiaying, President of Xiamen Taiwan Businessmen Association, said that the majority of Taiwan businessmen and Taiwan compatriots are both participants, witnesses and beneficiaries of the development of Xiamen Special Economic Zone. Taiwanese businessmen and compatriots have helped Xiamen develop and also caught the "train" of rapid development of reform and opening up, and the happiness index has increased year by year. Building a new open economic system with multi regional superposition It has always been the development logic of Xiamen Special Economic Zone since its establishment to seek impetus from opening up, vitality from reform and plan a high-level opening-up in the overall situation of national development. At the beginning of the establishment of Xiamen Special Economic Zone, the infrastructure was almost zero. The construction was carried out on a piece of white paper, and the funds were even more scarce. How to solve the problem? There is no ready-made experience and no standard answer. The mission of the special economic zone is to rush to explore the way and "fight a path of blood". Taking advantage of the special zone's policy advantages, Xiamen took the lead in using foreign loans to build airports, ports, communications and other infrastructure, took the lead in promoting the reform of tax and profit diversion, took the lead in reforming the state-owned asset management system, and took the lead in promoting paid land transfer and public bidding for government procurement, The establishment of the first Sino foreign joint venture bank... At the beginning of the establishment of Xiamen Special Economic Zone, a series of opening-up measures activated the vitality of development and formed a good start in attracting foreign investment and internal connection. In February 1984, Deng Xiaoping, the chief designer of reform and opening up, visited Xiamen and wrote "run the Special Economic Zone faster and better", which encouraged Xiamen to further strengthen reform and opening up. In 1985, the State Council approved the expansion of Xiamen Special Economic Zone to the whole island. Since then, the central government has successively approved the establishment of three Taiwan investment zones, Haicang, Xinglin and Jimei, and Xiangyu free trade zone. In 2010, the central government approved the expansion of Xiamen Special Economic Zone to the whole city. With the superposition of a series of policies, Xiamen has formed an all-round and multi-level opening-up pattern. Planted Wutong tree, Phoenix habitat. Dell, GM, abb and other Fortune 500 enterprises have "rushed to Xiamen". "Xiamen is the starting point for abb to sail in China. Since it settled in Xiamen Torch High tech Zone in 1992, Xiamen has become one of ABB's most important industrial bases in the world." Zhao Yongzhan, President of ABB Electric China, said that abb Xiamen Industrial Center was put into operation in 2018 and is committed to building a modern R & D base and realizing the transformation from a manufacturing base to an innovative R & D base. According to the data of Xiamen Municipal Bureau of statistics, by the end of 2020, 63 world top 500 enterprises had invested in 114 projects in Xiamen, with contracted foreign capital of US $4.121 billion and actually used foreign capital of US $3.63 billion. We should "bring in" and "go out". So far, Xiamen has registered 1581 overseas investment projects in 74 countries and regions, involving wholesale and retail, manufacturing and other fields. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xiamen is exploring a multi-level, all-round and comprehensive economic opening-up pattern from a higher level with the implementation of a series of national strategies such as the pilot Free Trade Zone, the core area of the Shanghai Silk Road and the BRICs new industrial revolution partnership innovation base. The construction of "single window" of international trade, the reform of "one license and one code" of commercial registration, the establishment of the international commercial arbitration court, the construction of the central legal affairs zone of Shanghai Silk Road... Dai bin, director of the Economic Development Bureau of the Management Committee of Xiamen free trade Zone, said that since its listing in 2015, Xiamen free trade zone has launched 498 innovative measures, and a total of 30 "Xiamen experiences" have been copied and popularized throughout the country. Integrating into the country's new pattern of opening to the outside world, Xiamen has a broader vision. In 2015, the first China Europe train (Xiamen) was launched. Now, more than 1000 China Europe trains have been launched, which is the closest to Taiwan. Three years later, the "Silk Road shipping" first opened in Xiamen port has also been launched, and the Silk Road and land silk road have achieved a perfect intersection in Xiamen. One belt, one road, is the first international comprehensive logistics service brand and platform for the "one belt and one road" countries. Li Nan, deputy general manager of Fujian Silk Road Shipping Operation Co., Ltd., said that after three years of development, "Silk Road shipping" has 80 named routes, 99 ports in 27 countries, more than 200 alliance members, and more than 6.7 million TEUs of transportation containers. One belt, one road, Xiamen, has one belt, one road, and continues to energize the development of the "one belt and one road". At the same time, Xiamen will seize the "BRICs" opportunity and build an important platform for BRICs cooperation. Following the successful holding of the ninth BRICs leaders' meeting in Xiamen in 2017, Xiamen landed in the BRICs new industrial revolution partnership innovation base at the end of last year. In the past year since the formal construction of the innovation base, two batches of 60 key task lists have been issued, 20 BRICs special trainings have been carried out, 7 enabling platforms in the field of new industrial revolution have been built, the first batch of 39 demonstration benchmark projects in the field of new industrial revolution have been launched, and 33 BRICs cooperation projects have been signed. With the advantages of multiple national strategies and multi regional superposition, Xiamen has promoted its deep integration into the global economic system and has always been at the forefront in building a new open economic system. Quality reform stimulates industrial innovation Innovation and entrepreneurship are the distinctive characteristics of Xiamen Special Economic Zone. Relying on innovation driven development, Xiamen has overcome the weaknesses of narrow regional space and insufficient economic hinterland, and embarked on a new road of high-quality industrial development.

Emergency command, traffic dispatching, visual maintenance and remote monitoring can be easily realized in this system - entering Xiamen Yilian network company, all kinds of new technologies and products are eye opening. As the world's leading provider of enterprise communication and cooperation solutions, Yilian network's own brand products are sold to the United States, Britain, Australia and other countries, and the SIP phone market share ranks first in the world. Affected by the epidemic, the company's cloud video business has ushered in a new outlet, with a surge in orders.

Zhang Huirong, deputy general manager of the company, introduced that the company's R & D personnel account for more than 60% of the number of employees, and the annual R & D investment accounts for more than 8% of sales. Xiamen Torch High tech Zone, where Yilian network is located, is one of the first batch of national high tech zones. Over the past 30 years of construction, Xiamen Torch High tech Zone has developed from a "test field" of less than 1 square kilometer on the island to "one zone and nine parks", supporting "half of the country" of Xiamen's industrial economy. At present, the torch high tech Zone has gathered more than 10000 enterprises, including more than 1000 national high-tech enterprises. The distinctive characteristics of the torch high tech Zone reflect the path of Xiamen's industrial layout according to local conditions. Compared with other sub provincial cities in China, Xiamen's economic volume is relatively small. The city has only 1700 square kilometers of land area, and nearly 60% of it has been classified as an ecological control zone. The person in charge of the Management Committee of Xiamen Torch High tech Zone said that based on its own resource endowment, adjusting measures to local conditions, focusing on the high-end of the industrial chain and value chain, and taking the fine development road of "small but fine" is the key to stimulate Xiamen's comparative advantage
