Why did Chongqing separate from Sichuan?

And water, electricity and gas are abundant. In addition, there are many ordnance enterprises in Chongqing and surrounding Sichuan. He showed his safety in World War II.

2. Demand for Three Gorges immigrants: 70% of the Three Gorges immigrants are in the original jurisdiction of Sichuan, and 80% belong to poverty-stricken counties. Chengdu is too far away from the Three Gorges Project, which is difficult to manage, and the success of resettlement is the key to the success of the Three Gorges Project. It is definitely better to use the megacity closest to the Three Gorges to drive it than to manage it in Sichuan. Moreover, driven by Chongqing, 8 million poor people in the Three Gorges area can get rid of poverty as soon as possible. Therefore, the Fujiang River, Wanquan River and Qianjiang River, which originally belonged to Sichuan, were allocated to Chongqing.

3. Repeated administrative arrangements. At first, the central government prepared to set up the Three Gorges Province. Later, it was found that if a province was established, there would be much more administrative departments in Chongqing, the provincial capital, which was equivalent to repeated establishment. Therefore, after argumentation, it has become the largest city and the most populous city in the world. For this reason, the country has saved billions of expenses and laid off tens of thousands of civil servants.

4. The need of economic construction. It turns out that dozens of counties at the junction of Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou are mostly poor counties with a poor population of 20 million. To develop, we need big cities with radiation ability to drive them, while Chongqing used to be a provincial capital city, and it has no ability and obligation to drive these areas. After being directly under the central government, many counties have been lifted out of poverty through Chongqing's overall investment attraction, procurement expansion and road network construction.

Chongqing was one of the top ten cities in China before it was directly under the central government. It is one of the three non-provincial megacities (the other two are Qingdao and Dalian). Compared with the mature economy and positioning of Qingdao and Dalian. Chongqing has been very passive in Sichuan. Compared with Sichuan, which has a huge population and a relatively backward economy, Chongqing has a heavy tax task every year, which makes the economic and investment environment in Chongqing more and more difficult. It is beneficial to both sides to separate Chongqing from Sichuan. Sichuan can reduce the burden of 20 million people, Chongqing can develop its economy, and Chongqing's economy can also drive the Sichuan area around Chongqing.

6. The choice of history. After liberation, Chongqing is a municipality directly under the central government of China and the seat of the southwest regional government. At that time, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yi and Liu Bocheng were in charge of Chongqing and Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces.

Only in 1955, the whole country was re-planned, and Chongqing dropped three levels. At that time, municipalities directly under the central government basically became provincial capital cities, so it was not the first time that Chongqing was directly under the central government.

The above is the statement of Chongqing municipality, you can refer to it. If there is such a city, then the direct administration is not far away. Of course, Chongqing's direct administration does not mean that it is a step to heaven. There are many lessons to make up. There is still a long way to go to realize the expectations of the central authorities.
