On October 20, the Ninth Plenary Session of the 14th Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee was held. The theme of this meeting was "Unswervingly accelerate the reconstruction of new advantages of Zhongshan's high-quality development."
Southern+Reporter noticed that in the plenary session report, " Shenzhen " became the most mentioned city, with a total of 12 occurrences. The term " deep-shen " has also been mentioned 6 times. The report specifically mentioned that " further optimizes the layout of factor resources, industrial projects, and infrastructure, and accelerates the integration of Shenzhen and China and the development of urbanization in ."
On the other side of Lingdingyang, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone has just held a 40th anniversary celebration. Against the backdrop of promoting the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Shenzhen’s construction of a socialist pilot demonstration zone, Zhongshan, which is across the sea from Shenzhen, has many expectations.
Judging from the signals released by this plenary session, the construction of major platforms has been mentioned to the height of "number one project". The report of the plenary session proposed that Zhongshan should take the construction of major platforms as a breakthrough point and strive to create a "golden rice bowl" that undertakes Shenzhen's "golden resources". This is a further action for Zhongshan to implement the deep-shen and expand the corridor.
Shenzhong story in Zhongshan report
Shenzhen and Zhongshan stories have actually been written for a long time.
In June 1997, the Humen Bridge was officially opened to traffic. This is the first bridge across the east and west sides of the Pearl River . Its appearance rewritten the pattern of "one water across the world" in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and supported the rapid economic and social development of the Pearl River Delta. Through this bridge, the land transportation of the three places is faster and more efficiently connected, and the respective industrial advantages and complementary effects of the three places are strengthened by the bridge.
Of course, both sides of the Pearl River will not be satisfied with just one bridge. Around the two sides of the Pearl River Estuary, this area with the most active economic area in China, the concept of bridges and channels is constantly being proposed.
The expectation of Shenzhen-China Channel began in 1998. The planning bureau of Zhongshan City proposed to build a direct cross-river channel for the consideration of poor east-west exchanges in the Pearl River Delta region. Shenzhen also had similar ideas at the time and put it on the agenda very early.
Until 2008, the State Council promulgated the "Outline of the Reform and Development Plan for the Pearl River Delta Region (2008-2020)", and the Shenzhen-China Channel was identified as a major infrastructure project. This year, Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel conducted a project feasibility study.
Southern+ reporter sorted out the work report of the Zhongshan Municipal Government in recent years and found that since 2009, the " Shenzhen-China Channel " appeared for the first time in the work report of the Zhongshan Municipal Government. The report that year stated that " seized the opportunities of opening the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Light Rail and planning and construction of Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel, and actively participated in the integration process of transportation, energy, public safety, factor market, industrial cooperation and public services in the Pearl River Delta region. "
In the following years' statement, Shenzhen did not appear as a separate article, and was included in the report in the form of urban agglomerations. For example, in the Zhongshan Municipal Government Work Report in 2010 and 2011, it was stated that " strives to take the initiative in regional cooperation around the Pearl River Estuary, actively undertakes the radiation of Hong Kong, Macao and Shenzhen ", " strengthens cooperation with Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao in the fields of technology, finance, logistics, creativity, talent, service outsourcing, and actively cooperates with the Pearl River Delta Economic Belt to develop ".
In 2014, the Shenzhen-China Channel A3 plan passed the expert review meeting on work permit reports organized by the National Development and Reform Commission. In 2015, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel Project was approved by the national project, and the connection lines on both sides of Shenzhen and Zhongshan started. In December 2016, the main project of Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel officially started construction.
After the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel entered the substantive construction stage, Shenzhen occupied more and more parts in Zhongshan's planning blueprint. For example, in the 2019 Zhongshan Municipal Government Work Report, Shenzhen was listed separately, specifically stated as " strengthens the connection with Shenzhen, and plans to promote a number of key cooperation matters in the fields of scientific and technological innovation, transportation construction, etc. ". At the Zhongshan Municipal Two Sessions in May this year, the term " vigorously builds Shenzhen-Zhongshan Industrial Development Corridor " further appeared.
At the 9th Plenary Session of the 14th Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee on October 20, Zhongshan proposed the goal of more comprehensive and in-depth docking. The plenary session proposed that " further optimizes the layout of factor resources, industrial projects, and infrastructure, and accelerates the integration of Shenzhen and China and the development of urbanization in ."
sorted out specific measures, including "comprehensive connection with the Shenzhen West-Association Strategy. Unswervingly promote the urban layout around the bay to the east, concentrate advantageous resources to create three core platforms: Cuiheng New District , Torch Development Zone , and Qijiang New City, build a core area of the Shenzhen-China Industrial Development Corridor, and fully support the construction of Shenzhen Pilot Demonstration Zone" and "undertake the gradient transfer of Shenzhen's manufacturing industry".
From receiving radiation to urbanization and integration, this is not only a change in expression, but also a change in thinking and trends, and also a direction of action.
is close, and it is close again
World Bay Area development history shows that cross-sea channels will greatly reshape the resource allocation and industrial division of labor between regions. From the perspective of regional integration and development, we will find that this is not only a rediscovery of Zhongshan’s location value, but also a reshaping and reconstruction of Zhongshan’s regional functional role.
We can find an example from China Unicom in the "Deep and Middle Channel on Water". In 2017, the "Shenzhong Channel on Water" was the first to open to navigation, ending the history of no direct water flights on Zhongshan and Shenzhen. Since the flight was launched, passenger volume has gradually increased. Starting from November 30, 2018, the "Zhongshan-Shenzhen" water passenger flights have increased from the original "four in and four out" to 14 single flights with "seven in and seven out", forming a bus-oriented model.
Since the main project of Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel started, Zhongshan has been advancing road planning and planning adjustments to build a regional comprehensive transportation hub on the west bank of the Pearl River. After sorting out the dynamics of Zhongshan transportation engineering in recent years, we can find that another obvious trend of is the hub "moving eastward" - approaching Shenzhen.
port eastward migration. Zhongshan Port moves closer to the eastern Lingdingyang from the Hengmen Waterway in the Torch Development Zone. After the Ma'an Island New Passenger Terminal is put into use, the navigation time of the "Deep and Middle Water Channel" will be compressed from 45 minutes to 25 minutes.
East extension of bus. Zhongshan bus connections have begun to expand intensively to the eastern area. Relevant person in charge of Zhongshan Municipal Transportation Bureau revealed that after the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel is completed, it will also plan to open a cross-city bus route from Zhongshan to Shenzhen. Connection of
tracks. Zhongshan is actively planning to connect with the rail transit in the east bank of the Pearl River. Shenmao Railway will set up stations at Zhongshan North Station and Henglan Station, echoing Zhongshan Station in the urban area and becoming another important passenger transport hub.
It can be found that the cross-sea transportation project represented by the Shenzhen-China Channel has greatly accelerated the progress of the transportation road network project on the east and west sides of the Pearl River. Zhongshan’s layout of transportation hubs and important nodes in the eastern area is also a positive response to this trend. With the construction of the Shenzhen-China Channel, the two cities in the middle of the "A" shape of the Pearl River Estuary are getting closer.
A question also surfaced --How can Zhongshan build a number of acceptance platforms with outstanding advantages, strong carrying capacity and great development potential, attract Shenzhen's high-end industries, high-quality projects, etc. to accelerate concentration on the acceptance platform, and promote the precision of industrial transfer, industrial acceptance aggregation, and park construction professionalization?
A obvious signal is . Zhongshan has integrated the eastern coastal area with the central urban area, and comprehensively considers the functional positioning and industrial layout of the eastern coastal area from the municipal level, and proposes to strive to build an international first-class and top modern coastal new city in the Bay Area.
Currently, the Shenzhen Medical Device Science and Technology Park with a total investment of 1.46 billion yuan is an important platform for Zhongshan to actively connect with Shenzhen's medical and health industry, further consolidate the foundation of Zhongshan's health and pharmaceutical industry, and promote the coordinated development of medical devices in Shenzhen and China.
The Zhongshen Science and Technology Innovation Industrial Park jointly built by Shenzhen and Zhongshan is expected to start construction in Cuiheng New District in November this year. The total investment of the project is about 2.71 billion yuan, focusing on building a high-end innovative and complete smart high-tech industrial park. In the future, it will be built into a landmark industrial park and demonstration park in the Bay Area. Shenzhen’s experience is expected to be replicated in Zhongshan.
thought "breaks the ice" before "breaking the ice"
Opportunities are exciting, but the siphon effect is also worthy of Zhongshan's attention.
Zhongshan is adjacent to two special zones: Zhuhai and Shenzhen, surrounded by five major airports, four deep-water ports, and three free trade zones. This is not only a good location advantage of Zhongshan, but also a reflection of its fierce competition. In the face of major historical opportunities, many experts are also paying attention to the challenges facing Zhongshan. The Shenzhen-China Channel is flying bridge. While rewriting the speed of resource circulation between the east and west, how to avoid becoming a "island economy" is also an issue that Zhongshan has to pay attention to.
Those who are suitable for a hundred miles will pound grain at night; those who are suitable for a thousand miles will gather grain in three months. The closer and closer Shenzhen-China channel makes Zhongshan feel the urgency.
Compared with explicit transportation infrastructure, the implicit strategic planning pace of Zhongshan also needs to speed up its progress. emphasizes the regional hub position. Zhongshan’s appeals and ambitions are not just as simple as passing through the road, but instead use this location advantage to expand the dialogue relationship between the city’s space and capital, technology, information and talents. Regarding discussions in this regard, Zhongshan has not formed a clear and systematic construction logic like the transportation infrastructure.
opens the dialogue relationship to the east and west sides of the Pearl River. Zhongshan’s initiative and initiative need to be further strengthened . Relatively building a "transportation channel" and creating a "strategic channel" to promote the flow of innovative factors involves more complex and diverse levels, which requires more foresight, more proactive, and earlier planning at time nodes. In this way, the "Shenzhen-China City" has more convincing power.
Professor of Economics, Lingnan College, Sun Yat-sen University, believes that Zhongshan may have certain advantages in overall strength. From the perspective of many cities in the Pearl River Delta, Zhongshan, developed by professional towns, has advantageous industries such as ancient town lighting, Nantou home appliances, and Xiaolan hardware. It also has the early national high-tech zone Zhongshan Torch High-tech Industrial Development Zone, which has a national health industry base. As for the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel, Zhongshan must have a location advantage, but if Zhongshan faces it with a "happy enjoyment" attitude at this time instead of making full preparations, Zhongshan may have missed the "this train".
The ninth plenary meeting of the 14th Zhongshan Municipal Committee held on October 20 proposed to consolidate the innovation development belt around the eastern Gulf, fully connect with Shenzhen's "Western Association" strategy, build the core area of the Shenzhen-China Industrial Development Corridor, and fully participate in the construction of the high-end industrial agglomeration development zone of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (West Zhu) in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. By increasing the increase, revitalizing the existing stock, and transforming and upgrading, we will strive to add one new industry, and transform one industry, and strive to create two new industries.
It is worth noting that this meeting further proposed that the major platform of is the "winner" of Zhongshan's participation in the Bay Area competition. We must focus on the integration of Shenzhen and China, promote substantial breakthroughs in the construction of major platforms, and create a "golden rice bowl" to undertake "golden resources". The report of the plenary session proposed to implement the "number one project" of major platforms, and in accordance with the goal of "three-year fixed pattern, five-year breakthrough, and ten-year demonstration", we will concentrate our efforts on the "three-year action plan for major platform construction" from 2021, accelerate the development and construction of three core platforms of Torch Development Zone, Cuiheng New District, and Qijiang New City, steadily promote the preliminary work of four 10,000-acre industrial platforms, and strive to build a model of major platforms for the world-class urban agglomeration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
36 years ago, it can be seen that Zhongshan’s pursuit of speed and efficiency was in the past. In 1984, Zhongshan City organized the first 10,000 yuan photography competition in the country for "Ode to the Motherland", which caused a sensation across the country. The work that won the "Wealth Cup" award was entitled "Trend", and was created with the famous "Time is Money, Efficiency is Life" placard as the background of Shenzhen.
Now, Zhongshan, where is at a critical moment, urgently needs to benchmark and pick up the spirit of the special zone on the other side of Shenzhen. As stated by the plenary session of the Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee this time, in the Bay Area era, hundreds of boats compete for the current, if they do not advance, they will retreat, and if they advance slowly, they will retreat. We must keep a broad mind and look at the general trend well, find the right development path in the fierce urban competition, take advantage of the "dual-zone drive", strengthen integrated development with Shenzhen in all aspects, and use ideological "breaking the ice" to lead the action to "break the ice".
