Jiangsu, as a major economic province is also a strong domestic economic province. Over the years, it has always focused its development on the southern Jiangsu region. It is difficult for other cities in the province to obtain development resources.
Xuzhou, as an ancient city with a thousand years of history, has been a battleground for strategists since the Three Kingdoms period. In the development of the new era, Xuzhou has achieved certain success with its own efforts, but it is more difficult to make better breakthroughs.
Xuzhou, as the northernmost city in Jiangsu, does not have a very high overall development status in Jiangsu. Xuzhou can consider joining Shandong in the next step.
If Xuzhou can join Shandong, it will gain the core development status. Shandong will give Xuzhou the core development resources, and Jinan and Qingdao will form a tripartite in the development.
With the deepening of integration, Xuzhou can break through the administrative barriers between Jinan and Qingdao, open up new development channels, and form a development situation with multiple points of blossom.
Xuzhou maintains a high degree of consistency with Shandong in terms of culture and customs. Shandong has also hosted Xuzhou before, and the two can be seamlessly connected.
From the perspective of Jiangsu, of course, I do not want to lose Xuzhou, but from the perspective of regional development, Xuzhou joining Shandong is a very good choice. In the future development process, as long as it is conducive to the improvement of strategy, it is possible to happen. I hope that one day we can see this day come.
