Original title: Hunan and Anhui Stand Out, What’s the Next Big Game for the New Free Trade Zone?
On September 21, the State Council issued the general plan for the Beijing, Hunan and Anhui Pilot Free Trade Zones and the expansion plan for the Zhejiang Pilot Free Trade Zone.
The expansion of the free zone involves four provinces concentrated in the eastern and central regions. Among them, Hunan and Anhui, two provinces in the central region, are populous provinces and also important manufacturing provinces with rapid economic development in recent years. The free zone plan of the two provinces also fully integrates the advantages and characteristics of the local industry.
Dr. Yu Zongliang from China Comprehensive Development Research Institute (Shenzhen) analyzed the China Business News that the construction of free zones in various regions is closely integrated with regional economic characteristics. This is a design based on the high-level design of the country and the characteristics of each region. “From the perspective of the country’s high-level design, we need to continually map the dual-cycle production poles in the region, deploy in different urban agglomerations and distribute in different regions. This is in the same line as the current high-level design. of our country “.
Among them, the Hunan Free Trade Zone covers an area of 119.76 square kilometers, covering three areas: the Changsha area 79.98 square kilometers (including the Changsha Huanghua Comprehensive Customs Zone 1.99 square kilometers), Yueyang area 19.94 square kilometers (including Yueyang Chenglingji Comprehensive Customs Zone 2.07 square kilometers)), 19.84 square kilometers in Chenzhou area (including 1.06 square kilometers in Chenzhou comprehensive consolidated area ). In terms of scope, the Changsha area represents two-thirds.
Changsha area focuses on the construction of “Belt and Road”, highlights the airport economy, and focuses on the development of high-end equipment manufacturing, new generation information technology, biomedicine, e-commerce, technology agricultural and other industries; Yueyang area focuses on the development strategy of the Yangtze River economic belt and highlights the port Economy, which focuses on the development of shipping logistics, e-commerce, new-generation information technology and other industries ; Chenzhou area focuses on the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, highlights the direct connection between Hunan, Hong Kong and Macao, and focuses on the development of non-ferrous metal processing, the modern logistics and other industries.
Tong Zhongxian, a researcher at the Hunan Academy of Social Sciences, analyzed that the establishment of a free trade zone should consider a relatively differentiated position. The service industry in Hunan is very good, and the manufacturing industry in Hunan, especially Changsha, is more distinctive at home and abroad. Construction machinery and railway Transportation, as well as some other equipment manufacturing industries, especially equipment manufacturing in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Tantan, has a strong foundation and potential, and the construction of the free trade zone should take advantage of these advantage.
From the perspective of regional design, the three areas of the Hunan Free Trade Zone are distributed in the north, center and south, all located along the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway. Tong Zhongxian said that the current main pattern in Hunan is still “a point and a line.” The “first line” is the line from Yueyang to Chenzhou, which is also an important development axis for Hunan. The construction of a pilot free trade zone will help Hunan accelerate the reproduction of the advanced coastal experience, accelerate the opening to the outside world and create a new dual-cycle mountainous zone.
In Anhui, the implementation area of the free trade zone is 119.86 square kilometers, which covers three areas: Hefei area 64.95 square kilometers (including the Hefei Economic and Technological Development Zone, the Comprehensive Free Trade Zone 1.4 kilometers square), Wuhu area 35 square kilometers (including Wuhu Comprehensive Free Trade Zone 2.17 square kilometers)), 19.91 square kilometers in Bengbu area. Among them, Hefei represents more than half the area.
Similar to Hunan, Anhui is also a district in the north, center and south, and also highlights the local manufacturing characteristics. Among them, Hefei, the provincial capital, has not only promoted the agglomeration of the original home appliance industry in recent years, but also vigorously developed emerging industries such as integrated circuits and artificial intelligence. The development of the manufacturing industry is very prominent. Hefei area focuses on the development of high-end manufacturing, integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, new displays, quantum information, technology finance, cross-border e-commerce and other industries, to create a comprehensive national science center and a leading area in the industrial innovation center with global influence.
Wuhu is the second largest city in Anhui. There are not only famous manufacturing companies like Chery Automobile, but alsoSanqi mutual entertainment、Three squirrelsLike start-ups, such an industrial base is quite striking among common Midwest cities. In the future, the Wuhu area will focus on the development of smart connected cars, smart home appliances, aviation,robot, Shipping services, cross-border e-commerce and other industries.
Bengbu area in North Anhui focus on the development of new silicon-based materials, new bio-based materials, new energy and other industries, construction of a class silicon and bio-based manufacturing center worldwide, and a leading area for technological innovation and open development in North Anhui.
For the two main manufacturing provinces of central China, Hunan and Anhui, accelerating the construction of free trade zones leads to copying advanced regional experience and accelerating industrial upgrading in the opening. “Building a national and international ‘dual cycle’ is closely related to industrial transformation and modernization. The two support, cooperate and interact with each other,” Yu Zongliang said.
Accelerating the improvement and development of local industries by copying the advanced experience of advanced regions also favors the acceleration of urbanization in these two centrally populated provinces, thus creating a larger domestic market.
The data shows that at the end of 2019, Hunan has a permanent population of 6.918 million, ranking second after Henan in the central region. However, the current urbanization rate in Hunan is only 57.22%, which is more than 3 percentage points lower than the national average. In Anhui, at the end of last year, the province has a registered population of 71,194 million and a permanent population of 63,659 million. The urbanization rate of the permanent population is 55.81%, which is far from the national average. The space and potential for future urbanization in these two provinces remain large.
