Why establish municipalities? What is the purpose?

1. The need for war. If you look at the current geographical location of Beijing, you can understand how dangerous it will be if a war occurs, and the probability of a war is very high. If a war occurs, there must be a rear area. , now you are looking at the location of Chongqing, inland, basin, mountainous area, mega-city, there are mountains blocking it from any direction. And there is enough water, electricity and gas. In addition, there are many military industry companies in Chongqing and the surrounding Sichuan area. His safety was already demonstrated during World War II. 2. The needs of the Three Gorges resettlement. 70% of the Three Gorges resettlement are within the original jurisdiction of Sichuan, and 80% belong to poor counties. Chengdu is too far away from the Three Gorges, making management difficult. The success of the resettlement is the key to the success of the Three Gorges Project. It is definitely better to use the megacities closest to the Three Gorges to drive it than to manage it in Sichuan. Moreover, under the leadership of Chongqing, the 8 million poor people in the Three Gorges area can be lifted out of poverty as soon as possible. Therefore, the Fu, Wan, and Qianjiang rivers that originally belonged to Sichuan were assigned to Chongqing. 3. Duplication of administrative arrangements. At first, the central government was planning to establish the Three Gorges Province. Later, it was discovered that if a province were to be established, the provincial capital Chongqing would have many more administrative departments, which would be equivalent to duplication of establishment. Therefore, after verification, it became the largest in the world today. Cities, the most populous cities. This has saved the country billions in expenses and reduced the number of civil servants by tens of thousands. 4. The needs of economic construction. Most of the dozens of counties at the junction of Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, and Guizhou were poor counties, with a poor population of 20 million. Development requires a big city with radiating capabilities to drive development, but Chongqing used to be just a provincial municipality. There is no ability or obligation to drive these areas. After direct administration, through Chongqing's overall investment promotion, expansion of procurement and construction of road networks, many counties have been lifted out of poverty. 5. Before direct administration, Chongqing was one of the top ten cities in the country. It is one of three megacities that are not provincial capitals (the other two are Qingdao and Dalian). Compared with Qingdao and Dalian, they have mature economies and positioning. Chongqing has always been very passive in Sichuan. Compared with Sichuan, which has a huge population and area and a relatively backward economy, Chongqing has heavy tax tasks every year, making Chongqing's economic investment environment increasingly difficult. Separating Chongqing from Sichuan will be beneficial to both parties. Sichuan can reduce the burden of 20 million people, Chongqing can make up for the economy, and when Chongqing's economy improves, it can also drive the Sichuan region surrounding Chongqing. 6. The choice of history. When it was first liberated, Chongqing was a municipality directly under the Central Government and the seat of the district government of the Southwest Region. At that time, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yi, and Liu Bocheng were in charge of Chongqing. At that time, Chongqing was in charge of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. However, in 1955, the country was redesigned and Chongqing was downgraded three levels in a row. At that time, municipalities directly under the central government basically became provincial capital cities, so it is not the first time that Chongqing is directly under the central government. The above is what a family directly under the Chongqing government has said. You can refer to it. If there is such a city, then direct jurisdiction is not far away. Of course, Chongqing's direct jurisdiction does not mean that it will achieve success in one fell swoop. There are many lessons to make up for.

There is still a long way to go to fulfill the central government’s expectations
