"Opening up is Pudong's innate mission and greatest characteristic."
"In the new era, Pudong's reform and opening up is not only a simple growth in quantity, but also a comprehensive improvement in quality; not only the single development of the economy, but also a comprehensive progress of society; not only the development of Pudong itself, but also a practical example that demonstrates Chinese concepts, Chinese solutions, and Chinese paths in the new era."
A piece of land that accounts for 1/8,000 of the country's area, bursts out with energy equivalent to 100 times its own body. Where is the magic behind it?
This place is Pudong New District, Shanghai, and the answer is reform and opening up.
30 years ago, at the critical moment of Pudong's development and opening up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping said: "Shanghai is our trump card, and it is a shortcut to build Shanghai."
30 years later, Pudong transformed from a farmland that was once a traversing field into a modern new city with concentrated functions, complete elements and advanced facilities. In 2019, the regional GDP reached 1273.4 billion yuan, creating 1/80 of GDP with an area of 1/8000 of the country. Netizens liked: "This is the most awesome post-90s generation."
New District is in its youth in its thirties, and Pudong is at the forefront. Many front-line reformers, entrepreneurs and experts and scholars said in an interview with Outlook News Weekly reporter that Pudong, which is "eating reform, taking the road of opening up, and playing the card of innovation", must always put serving the overall situation of the country first, always regard reform and opening up as the fundamental driving force, always regard strengthening functional advantages as the core key, and always regard taking a new path of governance as an important task, and constantly create new miracles of reform and opening up in the new era.
From the special zone to the new zone
Establish the banner of reform and opening up
No. 141 Pudong Avenue, an inconspicuous two-story building, which was once the Dongchang District Workers' Club to the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions. In April 1990, this place was determined to be the office of the Pudong Development Office of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government.
In order to choose a house number for the development office that reflects the development spirit of Pudong, everyone had a heated discussion. Some people suggest using 8, 6, 9 and other numbers that are meaningful. Later, a comrade at the scene thought carefully and said: "Pudong Development One is one, two is two, step by step, we must be realistic, why not just use the homonym of 'one is one' and set it as No. 141 Pudong Avenue?" Everyone agreed with this proposal.
To this day, "No. 141" has become the historical totem and spiritual symbol of Pudong's development and opening up. Meal tickets, mimeographs, shared desks - Walking into the Pudong Development Exhibition Hall converted from "No. 141", the old objects placed restore the scene at the beginning of development: four directors and deputy directors of the Development Office squeezed into the office of more than 20 square meters, driving a dilapidated electric fan, and using a telephone...
It is in such a simple office environment that Pudong's development and opening up took the first step. If China's reform and opening up is compared to a big game, the establishment of a special economic zone in the early 1980s can be compared to the beginning of the soldiers crossing the river; and with Pudong's development and opening up as a symbol, reform and opening up entered an indomitable strategic decisive battle in the early 1990s.
development and opening up of Pudong has a very special background: in the early 1990s, the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and East China caused setbacks in the development of world socialism, and domestic reform and development faced new challenges. At the same time, the global industrial structure and division of labor are facing major adjustments, and the trend of economic globalization has further emerged.
At the historical juncture of such major challenges, major opportunities and major choices, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have based themselves on the overall strategic situation and made major decisions to develop and open up Shanghai Pudong, showing the world China's determination and confidence to unswervingly advance reform and opening up, and opening up a new historical chapter in my country's comprehensive deepening of reform and opening up.
"China tells the world that we are still on the field" - a report by the New York Times in July 1990 revealed a major signal sent by Pudong's development and opening up to the world.
The changes brought by reform and opening up to Pudong and Shanghai can be seen from the changes in a place name - "Yincheng Middle Road" located in the core area of Lujiazui Financial City, which was called "Lannidu Road" back then. There is a folk song that sings like this: "There is a silty ferry by the Huangpu River, and there is a silty ferry town by the silty road. Pedestrians pass by, but they don't have good clothes."
Today, Lujiazui has become a real land of wealth. Liang Qing, deputy director of the Lujiazui Administration Bureau of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone Management Committee, said that Lujiazui is not large in size, but has a high gold content. More than 44,000 enterprises have gathered in the region, with a full-caliber tax revenue of more than 200 billion yuan, accounting for 1.5% of the country. At present, Lujiazui has 285 business buildings, including 102 of the 100 million yuan building, 30 of the 1 billion yuan building, and 4 of the 5 billion yuan building.
In March 2020, JPMorgan Securities (China) Co., Ltd. was officially opened, and its office was located in the Shanghai Central Building in Lujiazui, Pudong. This is the first newly approved foreign-controlled securities company in China since the opening up of the new round of financial industry to the outside world.
talks about the reasons for choosing Lujiazui and Pudong, Park Xueqian, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Securities (China) Co., Ltd., said that Shanghai is an important window for China's financial opening. Pudong New Area dares to be the first in institutional innovation and develops the industrial cluster effect to the extreme - it gathers various financial factor markets such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Shanghai Futures Exchange, and China Financial Futures Exchange, and brings together various financial institutions such as banks, stocks, bonds, futures, currency, bills, foreign exchange, and gold. JPMorgan Chase is full of confidence in Shanghai's goal of building a first-class international financial center, and believes that Pudong New Area will provide a broader stage for financial institutions in China and around the world.
"Opening is Pudong's innate mission and greatest characteristic. In recent years, Pudong has insisted on taking the construction of the Free Trade Pilot Zone and the Lingang New Area as the guide, continuously improving the level of opening up, and striving to create a frontier window for all-round opening up. "Weng Zuliang, member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Pudong New District Party Committee, said that a series of data demonstrates the level of openness and actual effectiveness of Pudong:
explores institutional opening. The Shanghai Free Trade Zone took the lead in building a system that is in line with international common rules, forming a number of basic and core institutional innovations such as negative list of foreign investment, "single window" of international trade, and free trade accounts. 328 institutional innovation achievements were copied and promoted nationwide.
continued to expand the field of opening up. It was the first to launch two batches of 54 measures to expand opening up, with a total of more than 3,300 enterprises implemented, and achieved a 55 fields such as wholly foreign-owned public funds, automobile manufacturing, and vocational skills training. The first national project was implemented.
strengthens the global resource allocation function. At present, Pudong has gathered 348 regional headquarters of multinational companies. Since this year, multinational companies such as Volvo Construction Equipment and Dassault Systems have moved their Asia-Pacific headquarters from Singapore and Japan to Pudong, and Hema has set up a global headquarters in Pudong.
From a large scientific installation to a "hard core" industry
Plan innovation in a global perspective
In the early morning of the Zhangjiang Science City in Shanghai, several round-headed and round-headed unmanned cars are quietly parked next to the subway station. Office workers in a hurry can use their mobile phone to scan the code on the car body to take out a hot breakfast from the car. Lunch and evening During meals, they will also act as "mobile dining trucks" and continue to provide services. New species such as
come from the Neolithic Artificial Intelligence Enterprise that settled in Zhangjiang. On the Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Island in Yanghe River in Pudong, among the buildings with staggered heights, a series of signs show that this is a place of hidden dragons and creeping: Microsoft, IBM, Alibaba, Yuncong... In 2019, as Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Island officially opened the island, a large number of multinational enterprises and domestic leading enterprises live next to each other, and corresponding innovation incubation carriers and application scenarios have been built one after another.
, Chairman of Zhangjiang Group Yuan Tao, said that by the end of 2020, all enterprises will settle in, and the island enterprises There will be more than 100 companies, and there will be more than 7,000 scientific researchers working here. This is the area with the most concentrated AI enterprises, the most talented, the richest types, and the most advanced technology among the same average area in Shanghai. It is also the best practice area for artificial intelligence application scenarios. Looking forward to the future, Zhangjiang will also accelerate the transformation from "island" to "area", using the 100,000 square meters of Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Island as the "core", expanding to a space carrier with an area of 1.5 million square meters in Zhangjiang Central District, providing spatial guarantee for the high-quality development of Pudong's artificial intelligence industry.
Artificial intelligence is a microcosm. There are tall buildings and shiny, which is the appearance of Pudong.From chips to pills, from domestic large aircraft to luxury cruise ships, from basic research to achievement transformation, aiming at the core carrying area of Shanghai Global Science and Technology Innovation Center, Pudong's innovation "opens firepower":
Talent-based -
From the "eight hundred heroes" in the early stage of development to the current "gathering talents from all over the world and using them", Pudong's emphasis on talents has been consistent. Zhangjiang Science City alone has about 380,000 scientific and technological talents, including more than 450 experts of various types, including Nobel Prize winners, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and high-level overseas talents.
"My feeling is that the closer you are to Zhangjiang, the easier it is to recruit suitable people. When I found that most of the high-tech suppliers are from Zhangjiang, I simply came here." Chu Qing, CEO of Unigroup Zhanrui, described the "magnetic force" of Pudong's talents in this way.
supports talents to gather in Pudong, and the central government and Shanghai spare no effort. Two landmark events are particularly worth remembering:
In June 2017, the Pudong New Area established the Overseas Talent Bureau and issued the first permanent residence ID card (commonly known as the Chinese Green Card) recommended by the Free Trade Zone Management Committee in the country. In July 2019, the Shanghai Human Resources and Social Security Department delegated the approval authority for direct settlement and returnees to Pudong New District for domestic talent introduction, which is the first case among municipalities and megacities in the country.
industry is the key -
"During the epidemic this year, the intelligent disinfection robot we developed has been sold into 'futures'." The Titanium Rice Robot located in Pudong has not had a rest after the outbreak of the epidemic. Pan Jing, founder of Titanium Robot, said that the company has targeted medical robots since its inception, and a series of core technologies have been used to make today's heartwarming "Biography" come into reality.
is the focus of innovation. Focusing on "China's core", "innovative drugs", "blue sky dream", "future cars", "smart manufacturing" and "data port", Pudong is accelerating the cultivation of six hard-core industries with a scale of 100 billion.
Integrated Circuit Field "China looks at Shanghai and Shanghai looks at Pudong". Pudong has become the region with the most concentrated "China's core" industry, the highest comprehensive technology level and the most complete industrial chain. In 2019, the scale of the integrated circuit industry in the region exceeded 120 billion yuan, accounting for 71.5% of Shanghai and 16.1% of the country.
In the field of biomedicine, Pudong has created 15% of the original innovative drugs and 10% of innovative medical devices in the country. The first new PD-1 anti-tumor drug "Tuoyi" independently developed in China is all produced in Pudong.
new drug development cycle is long and has high risks. Those who have feelings and concentration cannot accept it. "After twenty years of hard work, Pudong's innovative drugs are now harvesting season." Chen Kaixian, deputy chief technical officer of the National Major Special Project for Science and Technology of Major Science and Technology and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said.
is the foundation first—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Starting from January, Shanghai Light Source has opened a green channel to fully support the cracking of the protein structure of the new coronavirus, and provide the domestic scientific research team with the "brightest" assistance.
Basic research and original innovation are high-frequency words of national strategy and are also a compulsory course for innovation and transformation in Pudong. Pudong has done its best to support the construction of national heavy equipment such as large scientific installations.
"You can regard Shanghai light source as a super microscope to help scientists explore the mystery of the unknown world." Zhao Zhentang, director of the Shanghai Light Source Science Center, said that in the past ten years of opening up, Shanghai Light Source has been on-boarded for about 7,000 hours a year, and the research results cover many fields such as life sciences, condensed matter physics, chemistry, and materials.
In order to strengthen the source function of scientific and technological innovation, Pudong New District has made it clear that 10 large scientific devices will be built by 2025 to form a world-class large scientific device cluster. Relying on large scientific devices such as Shanghai light source and hard X-ray free electron laser device, Zhangjiang Science City has been built into the world's most comprehensive photonic science center.
"Looking forward, Pudong will continue to strengthen the source function of scientific and technological innovation, give full play to the agglomeration advantages of Pudong's large scientific facilities and high-level scientific research institutions, and accelerate the breakthrough of a number of key core technologies of "bottleneck". Strengthen the leading function of high-end industries, especially to strengthen the hard-core industries. Promote industrial collaboration, build an industrial ecology, and build a world-class innovative industry cluster." said Hang Yingwei, Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal Government and Mayor of Pudong New District.
From development to governance
Scientifically draws a blueprint for doubling
Peace Hotel standing on the Bund has become a place for the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to hold foreign affairs meetings many times in the past two years. The Shanghai leaders said that the purpose of choosing here is to invite foreign guests to see the prosperity of Lujiazui on the other side of the Huangpu River, let them experience the great achievements of Pudong's development and opening up, and tell them a vivid story of the vicissitudes of 30 years of vicissitudes and changes. "Not only are the foreign guests very shocked, but we are also filled with emotion every time."
The past is full of smoke and the old pages are renovated. Standing at a new starting point, where is the direction of Pudong, where is the path, and where is the motivation, this is a question that needs to be thought about from the moment, and it is also a matter of reform and development in Shanghai and even the whole country.
"In 2020, we will fully implement the "five major doubling actions" of industrial energy level, project investment, functional advantages, land benefits, and service efficiency, and promote the total economic output of Pudong to 2 trillion yuan." At this year's People's Congress of Pudong New District, Pudong has given a preliminary answer.
Weng Zuliang said: "In the new era, Pudong's reform and opening up is not only a simple growth in quantity, but also a comprehensive improvement in quality; it is not only a single economic development, but also a comprehensive progress of society; it is not only the development of Pudong itself, but also a practical example that demonstrates Chinese concepts, Chinese solutions, and Chinese path in the new era."
Only by climbing a high can you look far, only by thinking far can you make a close look, and only by accumulating can you make a thin comedy.
The superposition of multiple national strategies is to look forward to Pudong’s unlimited opportunities -
Pudong’s development and opening up is itself a national strategy that crosses the century. In 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave Shanghai three new major tasks during his attendance at the first China International Import Expo. These national strategies superimpose and converge in Pudong, stimulating the tremendous driving force for regional development.
has established the Lingang New Area of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, a large part of which is located in Pudong. Adhering to the spirit of "starting is sprinting, and starting is a decisive battle", in the first three quarters of this year, industrial investment in the Lingang New Area reached 20.23 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 52.2%, realizing "going against the wind". From the unveiling last year to mid-October this year, the Lingang New Area has signed a total of 410 projects, involving a total investment of more than 280 billion yuan.
has established the Science and Technology Innovation Board on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and piloted the registration system, which also belongs to Pudong from a geographical point of view. As of October 30, there were 191 listed companies on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, with a total market value of more than 2.9 trillion yuan. Among them, 16 listed companies on the Pudong Science and Technology Innovation Board, accounting for 51% of Shanghai.
promotes the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, Shanghai plays a leading role, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui play their strengths. The key to this is that all three provinces and one city must extend their strengths and contribute their strengths. Pudong is Shanghai's biggest longboard. Including the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Futures Exchange, there are 13 financial factor markets and financial infrastructure concentrated in Pudong. Pudong's functions, market and platform will effectively radiate and drive the development of the Yangtze River Delta region.
Since the beginning of this year, the central government has proposed to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic circulation as the main body and the domestic and international circulations mutually promoting each other. The Pudong New District District Committee and District Government stated that we should strive to build a leading demonstration zone for high-level reform and opening up in the new era in the future, deeply participate in international cooperation and competition for representative countries around the world, and take the lead in creating a central node of the domestic circulation and a strategic link between the domestic and international dual circulation.
First-class urban governance, Pudong set sail again -
Improve and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities are the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reforms clearly defined by the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee. People, vehicles and logistics are gathered, and above-ground and underground facilities are dense. For megacities like Shanghai, the requirement to improve governance level is particularly urgent.
Smart governance is a feature of Pudong. Entering the Pudong New District Urban Operation Comprehensive Management Center (hereinafter referred to as Pudong Urban Operation Center), the "signals" of the city operation that day were beating on the big screen in real time, such as garbage classification, river pollution, etc. Nearly 40,000 IoT sensing devices distributed throughout the region are like neuronal systems, which continuously pass all kinds of data back to the "urban brain".
"After we installed geomagnetic induction in Lianyang Community, whenever a vehicle is blocked in the fire passage, the system will issue a prompt, effectively opening up the 'life channel' of the community." A staff member of the Pudong Urban Transportation Center introduced. In 2020, Pudong’s “urban brain” will continue to add new application scenarios. Where the difficulties in urban management are and where the people are concerned, the exploration of “urban brain” will reach.
Good governance is the background color of Pudong. Application for new social security card, payment of basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents... In Pudong, 212 matters that people need to handle in daily life can be handled at their "door to their homes". By equipping "five-piece sets of" smart devices such as high-photographers, card readers, and scanners, the "door-to-door" service center distributed throughout the district has become the "government convenience store" for the people.
People are satisfied, and enterprises should also have a sense of gain. From the separation of negative lists and certificates to one-stop service and one industry and one certificate, benchmarking against the highest international standards and best level, the construction of a business environment has become a "golden signboard" for Pudong's development and a "plus point" for competition, and has played a demonstration significance in Shanghai and even the whole country. By coordinating and systematically promoting economic governance, urban governance and social governance, Pudong is exploring a path of governance modernization with Chinese characteristics.
, you still have to travel through mountains and rivers.
"Highly grasp the development of Pudong, don't waver, until it is completed." Comrade Deng Xiaoping told this in the beginning of Pudong's development and opening up. Under the great guidance of the national strategy, this hot land, which is already in its thirties, will set out again to explore the "Pudong model" of high-quality economic development in China, provide the "Pudong plan" for reform and opening up in the new era, and establish the "Pudong model" of modern governance.
