Why can Chongqing be a municipality directly under the central government when its economy is poor?

If we simply talk about economic development, Shenzhen and Guangzhou are obviously more qualified to become municipalities directly under the central government than Chongqing! Even Chengdu is better than Chongqing!

First, the establishment of Chongqing municipality directly under the central government is mainly to solve the economic and social development problems in the central and western regions. Another important reason is the migration of the Three Gorges:

1, which is conducive to giving full play to Chongqing's role as a mega-economic center city and promoting the economic and social development of eastern, southwestern and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Chongqing has close ties with the southwest provinces and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The work of Chongqing Economic Cooperation Zone, with Chongqing as the center and some cities in Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces participating, has promoted the economic development and commodity circulation in this area for many years. The establishment of Chongqing municipality directly under the central government is conducive to further exerting its regional advantages, "leading" role, "window" role and radiation role.

2. It is conducive to accelerating the pace of economic and social development in Sichuan Province.

Due to the overpopulation and large administrative area under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province, it brings certain difficulties to administrative management and economic and social development. The establishment of Chongqing municipality directly under the Central Government will help Sichuan Province concentrate on developing the economy and society of other regions, especially the western minority areas.

3. It is conducive to the unified planning, arrangement and management of the Three Gorges Project construction and the immigrants in the reservoir area.

At present, the resettlement tasks in Chongqing, Wanxian and Fuling account for more than two-thirds of the Three Gorges reservoir area. The establishment of Chongqing municipality directly under the Central Government and the unified management of resettlement work are conducive to the implementation of the state's development resettlement policy in the Three Gorges reservoir area, the overall arrangement and management of funds, the better development of resettlement work, and the promotion of the construction of the Three Gorges Project.

Second, in the process of planning, we also put forward a plan to set up a province.

? After repeated investigation, demonstration and comparison, starting from the overall situation of stabilizing the national administrative divisions, it is considered that the pattern of Sichuan Province should not be greatly changed. At the same time, it is believed that if a province is established, it is necessary to establish a set of provincial institutions, increase the establishment, increase the non-productive construction and administrative and business funds, and inevitably consume financial resources; Chongqing, as the capital city after the establishment of the province, not only overlaps with provincial institutions, but also is not conducive to playing its role as a central city in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and southwest China. Therefore, after carefully weighing various factors, the plan of establishing Chongqing municipality directly under the central government was chosen.

3. Why not choose Chengdu for the development of the central and western regions?

Geographically, Chongqing is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which can complement Shanghai and control Sichuan, Shaanxi and Guizhou in traffic, while Chengdu is located in the depth of Sichuan, so that Chengdu can give play to the advantages of the provincial capital and Chongqing can play the role of a municipality directly under the central government.

? Chengdu has fertile land and abundant rainfall. Chengdu is a plain and has the reputation of a land of abundance, so it is naturally much easier to develop its economy. Chongqing, located in the east of Sichuan, is known as the "mountain city", relying on layers of mountains militarily, becoming a favorable barrier to protect western Sichuan. However, in peacetime, it has brought imprisonment to the development of Chongqing! Why is Chongqing poor? This is the problem. It's all mountains. How to develop? As an old industrial zone, Chongqing has a certain industrial base. Because of the poor efficiency of state-owned enterprises, a large number of laid-off workers are idle, and Chongqing is the city with the largest number of rural hukou in China, and the people's living standards are generally low. But if Chongqing is a municipality directly under the central government, the central government is directly responsible. The country can finally help the poor and effectively revitalize Chongqing in the old industrial area, thus helping the poor and developing another vibrant big city. ) so as to better promote the rapid development of the central and western regions.
