What positive effects will the new round of western development bring?

Historical motivation of starting the strategy of western development

At the turn of the century, from 65438 to 0999, the CPC Central Committee launched the strategy of developing the western region. Over the past five years, the development of the western region has become a hot issue of general concern at home and abroad. Academics and the government answered this question from the aspects of the significance and function of implementing the strategy of developing the western region, and clearly pointed out that implementing the strategy of developing the western region and accelerating the development of the central and western regions are major decisions made by the CPC Central Committee in the overall situation and facing the new century. It is believed that the strategy of developing the western region is directly related to expanding domestic demand, promoting economic growth, national unity, social stability and border consolidation, and to the coordinated development and ultimate prosperity of the eastern and western regions, which has important practical and far-reaching historical significance. Implementing the strategy of developing the western region and accelerating the development of the central and western regions is an important decision made by the CPC Central Committee after careful consideration.

Secondly, it reviews the achievements made in the five years since the implementation of the strategy of developing the western region. First, it has created a strong development atmosphere. In the five years since the implementation of the strategy of developing the western region, a development trend has been formed in the western region, the whole country and even the whole world through various policies and large-scale publicity of the central and local governments to support the economic and social development in the western region. The government's great concern and support for the large-scale development of the western region, the hopes placed by enterprises and ordinary people on the large-scale development of the western region, the enthusiasm of investors from all over the world to find business opportunities in the western region, and the in-depth study of the large-scale development of the western region by academic circles have all revealed the information of "developing the western region" to the society. This information is very important. It has changed the ideas of government officials, ordinary people and various investors, guided resources, funds, talents and information to gradually flow to the western region, and at the same time inspired the people in the western region. Since ancient times, everything has been done with momentum. The economic and social development of a country or region is the same as that of a person. Without enthusiasm, faith and ambition, even if the external conditions are rich, it is difficult to achieve anything. Therefore, we believe that the greatest achievement of the western development in the past five years is to stimulate people's enthusiasm for developing the western region and give new hope to the people in the western region.

Second, it laid a solid foundation for the development of the western region. The first five years of the large-scale development of the western region belong to the initial stage of strategic implementation, so we can't expect to see the effectiveness of the project in this century in five years. The development of a region must first have the basic conditions needed for development. If these conditions are met, development will be possible. According to the principle of economics, the conditions for development are nothing more than resources, capital, environment, technology and talents. At that time, the reform and opening up gave many preferential policies and financial support to the eastern region. The convenience of coastal transportation and infrastructure construction provides the most basic environmental conditions for it. Under the condition of price control, the western region has provided it with a lot of cheap energy and resources, and technology introduction. "Peacock flies southeast" has provided it with talent and intellectual support, and the reform and opening up policy has created confidence and courage for developers. Under many conditions, orientals get rich first. Then the western development also needs these conditions. The financial support of the state and the economic growth of the western region have gradually laid the financial conditions for the large-scale development of the western region. Infrastructure construction, the transformation of government functions, ecological environment protection and the development of science and technology education are all creating conditions for the future development of the western region. At present, we can't say that we have the conditions for large-scale development, but at least we are gradually accumulating various foundations. Compared with 1999 before the implementation of the western development strategy, the basic conditions of economic development have made great progress in any respect, which is reflected in those statistical data, and as everyone has summarized, important progress has been made.

Third, the implementation of the five major projects of the western development strategy has changed the face of the western region to some extent. Although the first five years of the large-scale development of the western region were mainly to create conditions for the large-scale development, the promotion of the five major projects and various development measures has indeed greatly improved the face of the western region. In the past five years, the economic development speed of western 12 provinces and cities has basically exceeded the historical level, and has exceeded the national average year after year. Through the implementation of the ecological environment project, the ecological environment in the western region has undergone changes that people can feel personally: people's income in the western region has increased, living standards have improved, and enterprises have developed better. Especially infrastructure construction, urban roads, communication facilities, urban environment, rural postal routes, electricity, television and telephone, etc. , have been greatly improved. In the past five years, 60 new key projects have been started in the western region, with 965,438+10,000 kilometers of newly opened roads, 4,066.5 kilometers of newly built railways, and 22 trunk airports and feeder airports, with a total mileage of 46,000 kilometers of inter-county highways. 1.02 million poor people have carried out ecological migration, solved the power supply problem of 969 villages without electricity, and renovated more than 7,000 dangerous houses in primary and secondary schools. These achievements have laid a solid foundation for the further development of the western region.
