西南地区崛起的原因与思考

Reasons and Reflections on the Rise of Southwest China

历史上长期处于落后状态的西南地区正在实现整体崛起,促使东快西慢的中国区域经济格局转变为南快北慢。西南地区整体崛起是外因和内因相互促进、相互转化的辩证统一,既是国家实施西部大开发战略的结果,更是该地区解放思想、抢抓机遇、开拓创新、拼搏奋进的结果。西南地区整体崛起对全国打赢脱贫攻坚战、全面建成小康社会、国家宏观经济持续健康发展、长江经济带区域战略、“一带一路”国际合作至关重要。但是西南地区崛起不能过高估计,存在的短板不容忽视。保持西南地区崛起态势,需要从若干方面着力:国家应当持续深入推进西部大开发战略。西南地区应当坚守发展和生态两条底线,着力打造长江上游重要生态屏障和绿色发展示范区;构建“钻石”型城市群落,着力打造中国区域经济第四增长极;拓宽“一带一路”“西部陆海新通道”,着力打造内陆开放新高地。

Southwest China,which has been in a backward state for a long time in history,is realizing its overall rise,which has prompted China’s regional economic pattern to change from fast in the east and slow in the west to fast in the South and slow in the north.The overall rise of Southwest China is a dialectical unity of internal and external factors promoting and transforming each other.It is not only the result of the implementation of the strategy of developing the western region,but also the result of emancipating the mind,seizing opportunities,pioneering and innovating,and striving hard in the southwest region.The overall rise of the southwest region is of great significance for the country to win the battle against poverty,build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way,maintain sustained and healthy development of the national macro-economy,bring the strategy of the Yangtze River economic belt and the international cooperation of the“Belt and Road”.At the same time,it should be noted that the overall rise of the southwest region is a rather long process.The rise of the southwest cannot be overestimated,and the shortcomings that exist cannot be ignored.To maintain the rise of the southwest,we need to focus on several aspects:the state should continue to deepen the strategy of developing the western region;the southwest region should adhere to the two bottom lines of development and ecology,and strive to build an important ecological protective screen and green development demonstration zone in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River;to build“diamond”city clusters and strive to build the fourth growth pole of China’s regional economy;to broaden the“new land-sea channel”of the“Belt and Road”and creating a new highland of inland opening.
