沿边地区对外开放70年的回顾与展望

The Retrospect and Prospect of Opening-Up in Border Areas for 70 Years

对外开放是一个历久弥新的话题。新中国成立70年来,尤其是改革开放40多年来,沿边地区对外开放程度日益提升,成为塑造高质量对外开放格局的重要力量。沿边地区对外开放大致可分为跨越发展(1949-1959年)、相对封闭(1960-1978年)、迎来契机(1979-1998年)、加速推进(1999-2012年)、全新格局(2013年至今)五个阶段。文章在分析各个时期沿边地区对外开放进展的基础上,探究了沿边地区在进出口贸易、外商投资、对外经济合作三方面的时空演变规律,据此总结沿边开放取得的成就。新时代背景下,沿边地区实现高质量对外开放的重点任务包括,发挥沿边城市的引领作用,加快沿边自由贸易区建设,完善沿边地区的跨境合作机制,让开放的中国更加自信地屹立于世界舞台中央。

Opening-up is an ever-lasting topic. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China 70 years ago,especially over the past 40 years of the Reform and Opening Up, border areas have become increasingly international,becoming an essential force shaping a high-quality pattern of opening-up. The opening-up of border areas can be roughly divided into five stages: leap-forward development(1949-1959), relative closure(1960-1978), opportunity acquirement(1979-1998), acceleration(1999-2012), fundamental new pattern(2013-present). Based on the analysis of the situation of opening-up in border areas during different periods, this paper explores the spatio-temporal evolution process of the border areas from 3 aspects: import and export trade, foreign investment and international economic cooperation,summarizing the achievements of the border areas at the same time. Under the background of new era, key tasks for border areas to achieve high-quality opening-up include giving full play to the leading role of border cities, accelerating the construction of border free trade zones and improving cross-border cooperation mechanisms in border areas. In this way, an open China can stand more confidently in the center of the world stage.
