The report of the 11th Party Congress of the Autonomous Region proposed that it is necessary to build a pattern of port-driven, hinterland support, and edge-abdomen interaction, promote the transformation of "economic channel" to "channel economy", and promote the transformation of "passing economy" to "implemented economy". According to current reality, Inner Mongolia should focus on the prominent issues that restrict the economic development of the channel and promote the transformation from a simple economic channel to a channel economy with strong development radiation capacity, excellent market allocation and high economic efficiency. It will be more fully transformed to Russia and Mongolia with location advantages with many ports into openness and development advantages.
further clarifies the strategic positioning, develop a channel economy with unique characteristics of Chinese characteristics and Inner Mongolia
Inner Mongolia should actively integrate into the domestic circulation, unblock the domestic and international dual circulation , and strive to build an important bridgehead for my country's opening to the north, and promote the transformation of location and factor endowment advantages to openness and development advantages, which is inseparable from the development channel economy. It is necessary to connect the region with overseas and inland hinterland, break the limitations of time and space conditions for economic development, and achieve more efficient allocation based on the two domestic and international markets and two resources. We must combine the current foundation of Inner Mongolia's development and opening up and the phased characteristics presented, and systematically conduct in-depth research on the innovative experiences and practices formed in practice by free trade pilot zones, free trade ports, bonded zones, , etc., so as to better meet the actual needs of Inner Mongolia's border ports to transform from economic channels to channel economy. We must fully grasp and utilize the policy conditions of neighboring countries and cooperate in in-depth aspects such as management mechanisms, product and technical service specifications, and policy coordination. We must take the construction of China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor as an important opportunity to give full play to the favorable conditions for Inner Mongolia to open a bridgehead to the north, actively innovate the development model and specific forms of the channel economy, and develop a channel economy with Chinese characteristics and Inner Mongolia characteristics.
Avoid homogeneous competition and coordinate the promotion of coordinated and coordinated development of different types of port cities
Port cities are the "leaders" leading the economic development of the channel. The Inner Mongolia port cities are distributed along the narrow border line and are relatively small in scale. We must optimize the functional layout of port cities and strive to build an overall pattern with prominent key points and complementary functions. By further clarifying the functional positioning of different port cities, reasonably determining the cooperative relationship between Inner Mongolia port cities and various port cities inside and outside the district, forming a good situation of complementary and staggered development between port cities at different levels, and effectively improving the overall development quality. We must take port cities as important nodes to form a coordinated development pattern that connects overseas and domestic areas on the one end, continuously enhance the comprehensive service functions of port cities, and form a functional collaboration and linkage effect.
vigorously promotes the upgrading of traditional industries and actively develops outward-oriented industrial clusters
External-oriented industrial clustering is an important direction to promote the development of the channel economy. We must take ports as the leader, focus on cross-border economic cooperation zones, and vigorously cultivate high-level outward-oriented and high-end industrial clusters. We must promote the coordinated development of all participants at the level of the entire industrial chain and strive to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results between both parties or multiple parties. We must make full use of the important role of port parks in promoting industrial upgrading and optimizing the rational layout of production capacity, make full use of two markets and two resources at home and abroad, and actively expand the development space of outward-oriented industrial clusters. We must give full play to the favorable conditions for direct transit of China-Europe freight trains and promote Inner Mongolia to participate in international economic and trade cooperation in depth. We must actively cultivate a number of important international port logistics parks or distribution centers that match the China-Europe Express, so that more Inner Mongolia products can go global.
promotes the economic development of the port hinterland, deepens regional industrial cooperation and connects with
The economic development of the port hinterland relies on the special functions of the port in the international economic and trade channels, and can transform industries with comparative advantages in the international community into development advantages and even international competitive advantages.We must make full use of the favorable conditions of Inner Mongolia's "inner connection with eight provinces and regions, connecting Russia and Mongolia" and "going north and south, going east and out", continuously strengthen the radiation function of ports to the economic hinterland, and expand the breadth and depth of regional industrial cooperation. It is necessary to connect the economic development of the hinterland of Inner Mongolia port with the development strategic planning of important regions inside and outside the districts such as the Hindu-Hong Kong-Bao-E urban agglomeration, the Xichitong urban belt and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration. We must strive to form a pattern with the port as the fulcrum and the two ends connecting the domestic and international markets respectively, expanding a broader market space for the economic development of the port hinterland, and creating conditions for international products and factors with comparative advantages to enter the domestic market and prosper the port hinterland economy. In the new round of industrial upgrading and spatial layout adjustment, we must continuously improve the construction of the undertaking platform, seize the important opportunities brought by national strategies such as the relocation of non-capital functions in Beijing and the construction of new western land-sea channel of , and further expand the level and level of deepening regional industrial cooperation docking.
further improves the level of interconnection and improves supporting infrastructure
Accelerating the improvement of infrastructure connectivity is the hardware support for ensuring the sustained and stable development of the channel economy. We must adhere to the guidance of infrastructure planning, continue to strengthen the basic project of channel connection, and open up the "middle obstruction" and "last mile" that promotes the economic development of the channel. We must focus on promoting the construction of important cross-border channels, scientifically plan the construction and expansion of channel infrastructure, focus on renovating and upgrading existing old channel infrastructure, and form a modern and intelligent infrastructure network system with reasonable spatial layout, complete functions, close connections, and strong guarantees. With railways, highways, civil aviation, etc. as the link, cross-border, cross-provincial and regional highways, railways, etc. as the main skeleton, and surrounding highways, aviation, pipelines, water transportation, etc. as the auxiliary, an infrastructure network connecting Russia and Mongolia outside and large, medium and small towns in the region inside and important industrial clusters, etc. We must continue to optimize the business environment at ports, expand the application scope and form of the "single window" function of international trade, actively participate in joint law enforcement at bilateral or multilateral ports, and build convenient, efficient and safe ports. We must improve the level of refinement of supporting public services, promote the "double improvement" of the coverage breadth and supply quality of related public services, further enhance the level of port customs clearance facilitation, and improve the collection and distribution capacity.
