What impact does Chongqing's direct administration have on the western economy and society?

Accelerating the construction of Chongqing into an important growth pole in the western region is the need of coordinated regional development in China. Since the reform and opening up, the "Yangtze River Delta" and the "Pearl River Delta", as the two most powerful engines of China's economy, have driven the coastal areas, supported the rapid growth of China for more than 20 years, and created a world miracle. However, the development gap between the coastal areas and the central and western regions is also widening, which has become a major practical problem to solve the coordinated development of regions.

Considering from the strategic height of China's modernization, we must follow Comrade Deng Xiaoping's thought of "two overall situations". In the first 20 years, the east took the lead in opening up and development, and the west obeyed this overall situation; In this century, efforts will be made to promote the combination of coastal opening-up and inland development, foster new growth poles in the central and western regions, promote sound and rapid development of the central and western regions, realize the second overall situation, support the steady and rapid economic growth of China and create new world miracles.
