2024-05-05
Focusing on improving the level of internal and external opening up in the western region is not only an inevitable choice to promote sustained and healthy economic development in the western region and even the whole country, but also an important part of achieving regional coordinated development and promoting the formation of a new pattern of comprehensive opening up. Vigorously promote the construction of new land and sea channels in the west, promote the development and opening up of areas along the line, and deeply integrate into the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road". This points out the direction for improving the level of openness, breaking through geographical disadvantages, and achieving high-quality development in the western region. "Bridging", smooth access to new channels for domestic and overseas linkage, and deeply integrate into the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road". The western land sea new channel plays an important strategic role in the regional coordinated development pattern, and is an important lever for implementing the new development pattern and improving the level of opening up of the western region domestically and externally. In order to speed up the high-quality construction of new land and sea channels at home and abroad, and promote the new land and sea channels in the west to achieve fruitful results, information technology and digital technology should be used to promote the digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading of the traditional infrastructure of the channels, link the countries, provinces, autonomous regions and cities along the line to jointly build a new digital land and sea channel, promote the development and cooperation of the digital economy of the countries, provinces, autonomous regions and cities along the line, and deeply integrate into the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road". At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of a public service system for new channels of linkage between land, sea, and domestic markets. Measures such as establishing and improving information service platforms, improving logistics systems, and optimizing customs clearance processes should be taken to accelerate the connection between the western region and domestic and foreign markets. For example, Chongqing has built a hub system with "one main, two auxiliary, and multiple nodes", which not only covers a wider logistics network, but also reduces logistics costs and improves the speed of goods circulation by optimizing resource allocation and transportation paths. It has successfully turned the inland hinterland into an open frontier, providing strong support for the rapid flow of goods on the new land sea channel in the western region. Gathering energy, improving the layout of various industrial parks and economic cooperation zones, and promoting the high-quality development of free trade pilot zones. The western region covers 12 provinces with a population of over 300 million, covering 72% of the country's land area. It borders 13 countries and faces many Southeast Asian countries across the sea. It has broad development space and strong development potential. In the new era, to improve the level of domestic and foreign opening up in the western region, we need to rely on various industrial parks, economic cooperation zones, and free trade pilot zones to gather tremendous energy for domestic and foreign opening up. On the one hand, we will continuously improve the overall layout of various industrial parks, border economic cooperation zones, and cross-border economic cooperation zones along the border, and gather resources, deepen cooperation, and seek common development through a scientific, reasonable, and systematic layout; On the other hand, we will continuously promote the high-quality development of free trade pilot zones, deeply implement the strategy of upgrading free trade pilot zones, actively explore in broader fields and deeper levels, and build high-level free trade pilot zones. In 2023, six pilot free trade zones will be established in the western region. Taking Xinjiang Pilot Free Trade Zone as an example, as the first pilot free trade zone in the border area of northwest China, it covers an area of 179.66 square kilometers, including Urumqi, Kashgar and Khorgos. As a whole, it has formed a pattern of distinctive, coordinated and competitive development
