长江经济带发展潜力与两岸合作机会

Development Potential in Changjiang Economic Belt and Opportunities of Cross-Strait Cooperation

长江经济带的地位在经历了1979~2008年的急剧下降后,近年来呈现出稳步提升的态势,目前已进入持续快速增长的＂大发展＂时期。长江经济带的空间分异自2003年以来逐渐趋于缓和,且中上游地区的发展水平日益接近,过去典型的＂三级阶梯＂结构正日益被＂两级阶梯＂的二元结构所取代。从发展趋势看,长江经济带有条件建设成为继沿海经济带之后主导中国经济持续快速发展的核心支撑带,其发展空间和巨大潜力主要在中上游地区。加快长江经济带建设,既给海峡两岸带来了诸多合作机会,也将为中国经济长期保持中高速增长奠定坚实的基础。

1979 ~ 2008 saw the sharp decline in the economic position of Changjiang( Yangtze River) economic belt,yet it enters the stable increase and rapid growth in recent years. The spatial disparity of the belt has been alleviated since 2003. Past typical structure of'three levels'is replaced by dual structure between upper and middle reaches of the river,as the economic gap is being narrowed. As far as development trend concerned,Changjiang economic belt will possibly become dominant zone after the coastal economic belt to support the constant growth of Chinese economy and its developing space and potential are mainly focused on the upper and middle reaches. To accelerate the development of Changjiang economic belt will not only bring more opportunities of cross- strait cooperation,but also lay a strong foundation for long- term medium or rapid economic growth in China.
