April 22-24, Chongqing. A survey and a symposium focused on the new era to promote the development of the western region. Plan from point to surface, and move from surface to point.
The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made this survey, looking at the logistics parks in Chongqing and focusing on openness; View the display of scientific and technological innovation and industrial development achievements, and plan innovation; Go to the community and the "urban brain" and think about new ways to promote the modernization of urban governance. Opening up, innovation, urban governance and other fields have also undergone great changes due to the national strategy of developing the western region.
This is the first time that the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has presided over a symposium on the theme of developing the western region since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it is also the eighth special meeting on regional coordinated development since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Desert Gobi, snowy plateau, towering mountains, rolling rivers … … For a long time, the general secretary has devoted a lot of efforts to the western region, which accounts for more than 70% of China’s land area, and is full of deep feelings and hopes:
"Promoting the development of the western region is a century project. We must maintain our strategic strength, continue to be down-to-earth, work hard and steadily, and strive to write a new chapter in the development of the western region in the Chinese modernization drive! "
以开放促开发，是地域广袤、发展水平迥异的西部地区共同的夙愿。当40多年前，改革开放的春风吹绿了东部和南方沿海，西部也在翘首期盼更多机遇。
格局决定思路。2013年的秋天，共建“一带一路”倡议提出，西部地区也由此澎湃出新的发展势能。
重庆是西部大开放的一个缩影。

22日下午，考察第一站，最高领袖总书记走进重庆国际物流枢纽园区。
园区内，西部陆海新通道重庆无水港运营调度中心。大屏幕上的地图，以重庆为坐标点，绘就了联通世界的“大动脉”：向西，中欧班列直抵欧洲；向北，“渝满俄”铁路纵贯南北；向东，长江黄金水道联通中部地区和长三角；向南，西部陆海新通道跨山越海。
西部陆海新通道，这是最高领袖总书记近期考察中，多次关注的一条贸易线。“这条通道有哪些成本优势？效益如何？”“沿途还有什么障碍？”现场，总书记问得细致。
"From Chongqing to Qinzhou, Guangxi, and then through the Straits of Malacca, it saves more than ten or even twenty days than going south along the golden waterway of the Yangtze River and passing through the eastern coast."
There is also a set of data that is amazing. Relevant responsible comrades in Chongqing introduced: "The new land and sea passage in the west covers 503 ports in 121 countries and regions, and in 2023 ‘ Three new samples ’ Exports reached 8.82 billion yuan, nearly doubling year-on-year. "
For many years, the surging river has carried the native products of mountain products in the southwest down the river, and the cotton cloth in the southeast has been accompanied by the sonorous Chuanjiang bugle. Nowadays, railways, highways and air routes radiate from all directions, and Chongqing’s development is also considered from the perspective of China, Eurasia and the world.
"Logistics is a real economy ‘ Collateral ’ 。” General Secretary of the Supreme Leader expressed his feelings, "Building a new land and sea passage in the west is very important for promoting the formation of ‘ Linkage between land and sea, mutual aid between east and west ’ The pattern of opening up is of great significance. It is necessary to build and operate this landmark project well, drive the western and inland areas to open to the outside world at a high level, and form a cross-networking hub. "
In the park, Chongqing Railway Container Center Station is constantly throughput day and night. In the past, it was an inconspicuous station, but now it is connected to the world by the Central European train and the new land and sea passage in the west. Railroad, train, container, domestic market and international market, China economy and world economy are deeply integrated.
Ten years ago, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader in Duisburg, Germany, witnessed the strong transport capacity of the first China-Europe train "Chongqing New Europe". It is from this station in Chongqing that the train starts to the west, then to the west, over the mountains, across the Gobi and across the border, and the ancient Silk Road is revived.
In recent years, the "friend circle" of the new land and sea channel in the west has been expanding. The western region borders 13 neighboring countries, with a border of more than 18,000 kilometers. Southbound, Beilian, Dongrong and Xihe are more than just Chongqing. At the symposium, every province listed open transcripts: Shaanxi, the total import and export volume to Central Asian countries increased by 178% last year; In Xinjiang, the total import and export volume of foreign trade increased by 45.9% last year; Guangxi Beibu Gulf "one bay is linked with eleven countries", and the construction of Pinglu Canal is in full swing, which will become the most convenient waterway to the sea in southwest China after completion.
Truck drivers, train drivers, loading and unloading workers, and station management personnel rushed to tell the general secretary:
"The main goods exported are from traditional products to ‘ Three new samples ’ Transformation ";
"New energy vehicles and laptops made in Chongqing sell well overseas";
"The return empty container rate is low, and foreign products go from here to the whole country";
… … … …
The key to the construction of the new land and sea passage in the west is smoothness, the key is coordination, and the core is innovation.
Opening up to the outside world is not only a matter of going out in a rope, but also a measure of developing strength, and it is necessary to weather the storm in the international market.
With 39 of China’s 41 industrial categories and all 31 manufacturing categories, Chongqing is a well-deserved manufacturing center. From the third-line construction in the early days of the founding of New China, to the industrial revitalization after the reform and opening up, and then to the quality improvement and efficiency improvement of high-quality development in the new era, we have jointly created an open spirit.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader walked into the exhibition hall of scientific and technological innovation and industrial development achievements in Chongqing.
The hydrogen-powered engine developed by Sino-German joint venture, the technologically advanced nano-time grating, China’s largest ship turbocharger, China’s first "large displacement miniaturized piston engine", and the hemodialysis machine & HELIP, which pioneered the trinity technology; … A dazzling array of innovations and creations are conveying the significance of new quality productivity to openness.
Hearing that the localization rate of the developed offshore wind turbine was 99%, the Supreme Leader General Secretary was very emotional: "When I was working in Fujian, there was no offshore wind power in China. Once upon a time! "
"Chongqing’s manufacturing industry has its own structural characteristics and corresponding advantages. It’s better to have a lot of money than to have a skill. If you keep your eyes on it, you will continue to do it, unswervingly and for a long time. "
A governance problem
"Safeguarding and improving people’s livelihood in the development of the western region"
Cars are walking through the streets, and there are rows of tall buildings outside the window.
Chongqing, the youngest municipality directly under the central government in China, integrates big cities, big rural areas, big mountainous areas and big reservoir areas. With an area of 82,400 square kilometers, 38 districts and counties and a population of more than 30 million, the task of coordinated regional development and urban-rural integration development is very heavy, and there is an examination question before us to explore the road of modernization in the western region.
The democratic village community in Xiejiawan Street, Jiulongpo District was once a well-known "old and small", with poor houses, old pipe network, much sewage and lack of supporting facilities. On the evening of the 22nd, the General Secretary walked into the community.
Green slate, red brick houses, Castanopsis fissa trees, a bright community meeting room, a fully functional party-mass service center, and a community canteen with fragrant food.
In the rice bowl, people’s hearts are filled. When the general secretary came in, the old people and children stood up excitedly, and applause, laughter and greetings came one after another. The general secretary smiled and chatted with everyone.
"How much is a meal?"
"18 under the age of 60, 15 over the age of 60. There are more than 2,600 elderly people over 60 years old in our community, accounting for 32%. "
"Where is the operator? Is it profitable? "
"Third-party operations and community supervision have achieved meager profits."
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader exhorted: "It must be sustainable."
In front of the canteen, it used to be a drain, but later it became a stinking ditch. After governance, it has become a leisure Little Square for residents. All these changes stem from the renovation project initiated by the community in early 2022 and incorporated into the relevant national pilot projects.
Residents came to Little Square in succession, and applause rang through the buildings.
"Chinese modernization, people’s livelihood is great. All the work of the party and the government is for the people to live a happier life. " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said earnestly, "One thing that the CPC Central Committee is very concerned about is to transform the old community. Trade in the old and improve the service facilities. I hope that party committees and governments at all levels can invest more financial and material resources to solve people’s livelihood problems, do some practical things about people’s livelihood every year, and constantly enhance the people’s sense of happiness and security. "
Reducing the burden at the grassroots level is related to people’s livelihood and well-being, and mirrors the party’s style of work. In the community service center between the party and the masses, the general secretary saw a report.
“‘ Chongqing Express Administration ’ There is a city-wide smart report application on the APP. In the past, we had to fill in many reports, and some information was almost the same, and we were always filling in repeatedly. Before, we had to report hundreds of forms a year, but now we only need to report 12 forms. "
Five years ago, in April, I was also in Chongqing. At that time, the general secretary also talked about rectifying formalism and bureaucracy: "Let grassroots cadres be freed from red tape, mountains and seas, and welcoming them." That year was the "year of reducing burdens at the grassroots level" determined by the CPC Central Committee.
Reduce the burden and empower, improve the efficiency of governance, and show resilience and effectiveness in five years. This time, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out that "it is necessary to clarify the powers and responsibilities for reducing the burden at the grassroots level, and not to press everything on the grassroots level. What work should the grassroots undertake, and the responsibilities should be clarified."
Reducing the burden reduces the shackles of formalism and adds the spirit of hard work. On the third day of the inspection, the general secretary talked about reducing the burden on the grassroots:
"I went to Jiulongpo the day before yesterday. I asked the secretary of the community party Committee if the burden is heavy now. She said that in the past, she filled in many reports and worked through them. That won’t do. Form cannot be greater than content, and surface is greater than actual effect. Less formalism, more practical work, fewer contradictions and more achievements. We must persevere in this matter. "
On the morning of 23rd, Chongqing Digital City Operation and Governance Center. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader inspected the "urban brain" of Chongqing.
The data scattered everywhere in the past is aggregated and empowered. Urban physical indicators such as water, electricity, gas, communication, bridges, tunnels, tracks and pipe networks are clear at a glance, and Chongqing is exploring the overall reconstruction of the governance system of megacities.
Relevant comrades told a case of landslide early warning last year, and video connected the firefighters of Beibei detachment who had just finished handling a fire.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader thinks a lot: "The modernization of governance system and governance capacity is the proper meaning of Chinese modernization. I am very concerned about this issue. " "Urban governance involves all aspects, and the first thing is to ‘ Always uneasy ’ A sense of responsibility, do a good job in pre-planning, precise management and control, rapid response, effectively handle various situations, and ensure the safe and orderly operation of the city. "
Impressed by the "urban brain", the general secretary raised the topic of urban governance several times in his subsequent inspection: "In the information age, we should speed up the pace of building smart cities, build an intelligent hub for urban operation and governance, and establish a sound ‘ Great comprehensive integration ’ The urban comprehensive governance system and mechanism make urban governance smarter, more efficient and more accurate. "
A strategic map
"Strive to write a new chapter in the development of the western region in the process of Chinese modernization"
Coordinating regional development has always been a major issue. A key step in the road to national rejuvenation has been placed in an unprecedented eye-catching position in the framework of governing the country.
Explore the reasons, as the Supreme Leader General Secretary said, "regional integration is the general trend." Follow the trend, follow the trend, with the in-depth investigation and accurate layout, a strategic map emerges from the paper.
After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, around the theme of coordinated regional development, the General Secretary successively presided over symposiums. From Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to the Yangtze River Delta, from the revitalization of the northeast to the rise of the central region, from the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt to the development of the western region, the regional coordinated development strategy has become a trend in more than 9.6 million square kilometers of land.
At the symposium, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader "let’s take a look at the course we have traveled".
In 1999, the "western development" first appeared in the documents of the CPC Central Committee. Since then, this strategy has integrated the characteristics of the times and continuously and profoundly shaped the magnificent western region.
Twenty years later, in 2019, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council once again issued the Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Development of the Western Region in the New Era and Forming a New Pattern. Ten thousand words are heavy and long, which defines the new pattern of "great protection, great openness and high-quality development"
At the symposium, the general secretary concluded: "As a national strategy, the development of the western region is consistent. There is no wavering, no weakening, but continuous strengthening and improvement. We are still pushing this work. For a long time, we will strive for self-improvement and stop at perfection. "
This time, the symposium further locked in the new pattern, and once again consolidated the "drawing a blueprint to the end": "We must consistently implement the policies and measures of the CPC Central Committee to promote the development of the western region, further form a new pattern of great protection, great openness and high-quality development, enhance the overall strength and sustainable development capability of the region, and strive to write a new chapter in the development of the western region in the Chinese modernization drive."
"It plays an important role in the overall situation of national reform, development and stability", which is the strategic position of the western region. Paying attention to and caring for the west is the result of the mission and the feeling.
"Our party is coming from here." On the red fertile soil in the west, he visited the revolutionary memorial site again and again and felt the inexhaustible source of strength.
The general secretary has always been concerned about the west, where "there are many old revolutionary areas, ethnic areas, border areas and poverty-stricken areas". After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, "more than 30 times went to the western region for investigation, and every time they made some targeted demands".
The new era promotes the development of the western region. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader takes stock of the heavy achievements in these years and deeply analyzes the shortcomings and difficulties that need to be solved urgently: "Look at our family background and sort out our long and short boards."
Ask firewood in the mountains and fish in the water. How to find the layout of the new pattern? At the symposium, the general secretary clearly put forward six "persistences".
Anchoring new quality productivity, "insisting on developing characteristic and advantageous industries as the main direction";
Highlight great protection and "insist on supporting high-quality development with high-level protection";
Focus on the great opening up and "persist in promoting the great development with the great opening up";
Improve the ability of safety and security, "adhere to overall development and safety";
Based on people’s livelihood, "persist in promoting the organic combination of new urbanization and comprehensive rural revitalization";
Looking at national unity and border stability, "persist in casting a strong sense of the Chinese nation community."
After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era has been constantly formed, enriched and innovated in practice. The ideas contained in these six "persistences" are integrated into the magnificent ideological systems such as the supreme leader’s economic thought, the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought and the overall national security concept, and are full of vitality in the western region according to local conditions and the situation.
The perseverance goes far, and the methodology contained in it is consistent.
Dialectical thinking from the perspective of "one picture"
Speaking of "accelerating the technological transformation of traditional industries", the Supreme Leader General Secretary profoundly pointed out: "Traditional industries can’t be said to be backward industries, and there are also new quality productivity and high technology in traditional industries."
When it comes to the development of energy industries such as coal, the general secretary compares "Wowotou" and "fine flour and fine flour": "Eat well after eating well. We must seek truth from facts, neither slowing down the pace of green and low-carbon development nor being too idealistic. First, we must ensure energy supply. "
Innovative thinking in the process of "integration".
The general secretary is very concerned about the construction of the twin-city economic circle in Chengdu-Chongqing area. This fertile land, which accounts for 1.9% of the country, has produced a regional GDP accounting for over 6%. How to sing A Tale of Two Cities in the West in the New Era? The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader hopes that Sichuan and Chongqing will "cooperate closely and continuously improve the development level".
The more the road goes, the clearer it becomes; The more forward, the more confident and firm.
The leadership of the party is the key to winning.
"Do a good job in party discipline study and education." The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader sounded the alarm. "Boiling frogs in warm water is an unforgettable lesson, and everyone should review it well. Have a ‘ in your mind. Tightening spell ’ . Anti-corruption is always on the road, and you will get lost without awe. "
The tenacity of self-revolution reflects the initial heart. Gathering yang can make a flame, and grasping fingers can make a fist. The great cause of western development was created by the party leading the people.
"Build a team of high-quality professional cadres who are loyal and clean." The general secretary exhorted, "care for grassroots cadres, especially those in areas with difficult conditions, and encourage cadres to forge ahead, boldly explore and take responsibility" and "strengthen the training and exercise of young cadres in the western region".
The west is a vast world with great achievements.
