Many places are facing the contradictions between development and environmental protection, which is also a sharp contradiction that cannot be avoided by developing countries. Gao Liwen knows very well that it is not easy to resolve this contradiction.
As the largest freshwater lake in China, Lize Lake has a total water volume that is constantly shrinking, especially during dry water. Of course, this is closely related to climate change and the increase in water consumption in the middle and upper reaches. However, at the same time, the deterioration of the entire water quality also exists objectively. As China's mother river and the Yangtze River Basin as the most dynamic and developed region in China's economy, it is urgent to protect and maintain a relatively healthy and safe water system. The kind of development first and then governance has proven to be unfeasible. When you develop and then manage, you have to pay a cost of ten or a hundred times more than before, and this generation cost is often the cost of the people's lives and health.
The environmental protection situation in Changjiang was quite good during the previous two years, but the situation in the past two years has declined, which may have something to do with the work ideas of the current party committee and government team. This time, Gao Liwen came to this year to sound the alarm bell for the Changjiang Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government team, reminding them that they should not be slackened in the responsibility of environmental protection and should not put environmental protection behind the forefront of development.
Gao Liwen also knew that this Changjiang Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government were facing huge development pressure. During the period when Rong Daosheng and Du Chongshan were partnering, Changjiang's economic development has maintained a relatively fast level. Of course, this has a lot to do with that era. However, as the national economic growth rate was slowing down, the decline rate of Changjiang's economic growth rate was higher than the national average, which is thought-provoking.
In the early stage, it can be said that Yin Guozhao and Du Chongshan were not in harmony and internal friction, which led to the slowdown in growth. However, now Lu Weimin takes over, and it is well known that Lu Weimin is a good master in economic work. If these two people can't turn around this situation, the central government may really have to consider whether the teamwork is reasonable.
Gao Liwen came to Changjiang with another purpose, that is, Lize New District.
After several additions, deletions, deletions and revisions, the planning of Lize New District was reported to the Government Affairs Council. The Government Affairs Council was very interested in this plan, especially the Yangtze River Economic Belt mentioned in the preamble of the plan.
The leader of the Yangtze River Delta (Pudong New Area) mentioned in the plan, Changsong Economic Zone + Wanjiang Economic Belt (Lize New Area) Long Neck, Wuhan Urban Circle + Changzhou-Zhuzhou-Tanzhou Urban Agglomeration Long Neck, Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle (Lijiang New Area + Tianfu New Area) Long Neck, with one-stop running through China's central region as a strategy. This strategic concept is very imaginative.
The preface of the plan proposes that the four parts of the Dragon Head, Dragon Neck, Dragon Bear, and Dragon Tail all need a national-level new district with distinct characteristics and sufficient competitiveness as the core of development. The Yangtze River Delta region is the leader, which is the Pudong New District, while the Changsong Economic Zone and the Wanjiang Economic Belt, which are the Dragon Neck, are all working hard to build the Lize New District. The Hunan and Hubei in Longfang also need a national-level new district to drive. The Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, as Longwei, is not only the tail of the Yangtze River Basin, but also the heart of the western region, so Liangjiang New District and Tianfu New District are needed to achieve dual-core driving.
However, according to the situation summarized by all aspects, although the concept of Lize New District was proposed as early as 2006, it was always on paper. It was not until Lu Weimin took office as governor that this concept began to be continuously enriched and improved and quickly put it on the agenda. Gao Liwen also admired Lu Weimin's decisive behavior. He did what he said, did what he did, and quickly applied to the Government Council.
It should be said that the concept and planning plan of Lize New District are very attractive simply. The Government Council has conducted serious research on this plan. At the same time, relevant ministries and commissions have also conducted field research in Changjiang, but the situation brought back is not satisfactory.
The situation reported by relevant ministries and commissions is similar, which is that Changjiang's foundation in the construction of Lize New District is too weak, the startup is too hasty, and the time is too short, so it does not really have the structure of a new district. Moreover, the plan is too large, but several relevant ministries and commissions are skeptical whether it can be implemented and implemented in place, and whether it can be implemented in the plan to achieve industrial entry.
The suspicion of relevant ministries and commissions has greatly reduced the halo of Lize New District. The Government Affairs Council has also suspended the application and approval procedures of Lize New District, and it is recommended that after investigating and verifying the real situation of Lize New District, we should consider restarting the application and approval procedures.
It is precisely because of this that Gao Liwen decided to come here in person to check and find out what the Lize New District, which is portrayed by the Changjiang Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, is now like.
"Guozhao, for the people, where will we go at the first stop?" Gao Liwen asked casually.
"Prime Minister, the first stop we arranged is Factory 195, a subsidiary of AVIC Group, which is the Liming Aircraft Company. Guo Zheng, the president of AVIC Group, returned to Changzhou a few days ago. He probably learned that the Prime Minister was coming to our Changjiang, so he also stayed here specifically to report to you on the next development of AVIC Group and its cooperation with us Changjiang." Lu Weimin and Yin Guozhao exchanged expressions, and Lu Weimin continued.
"Well, I haven't seen Lao Guo for a long time. It's better to have a chat with Lao Guo. AVIC should cooperate more with you Changjiang locally. I think COMAC has good cooperation with Shanghai in Shanghai. AVIC has experience in this regard. Guozhao, for the people. This aspect can be more proactive in locally and strive for a win-win situation." Gao Liwen nodded.
Yin Guozhao exchanged glances with Lu Weimin again. Both of them were a little happy. Before they could mention this topic first, Premier Liwen had already raised it. This happened to be an introduction. Yin Guozhao pondered: "Prime Minister, our province has some ideas. The positioning of Lize New District is high-end manufacturing and service industry. We have planned several high-end manufacturing industries. One of the very important ones is to rely on our Changjiang's strong aerospace industry resources to develop industries that are supporting the future aerospace industry. Weimin and Lao Guo also communicated this a few days ago. The main purpose is to explore how to further enhance the competitiveness of COMAC in the international and domestic markets once the test flight of C919 has been successfully obtained and entered commercial and market-oriented operation after entering commercial and market-oriented operations."
"Oh? Tell me." Gao Liwen was very interested and looked at Yin Guozhao and Lu Weimin.
Lu Weimin didn't say anything, and he had to ask Yin Guozhao to come at this time. This is the rule.
"We have discussed with Lao Guo that the c919 is a national key project. Judging from the current situation, technology and safety issues should be nothing, and it will be a matter of time before getting the airworthiness certificate. However, once you get the airworthiness certificate, you will face the domestic and international markets, which will inevitably have an impact on the Boeing 737 and Airbus 320, which overlap in product types. Airbus and Boeing will not ignore it. They will definitely surpass the current c919 in terms of product maturity, and they also have the strength to compete in price. At that time, COMAC will face quite cruel market competition. From the current perspective, COMAC can rely on the support of the state to temporarily stabilize its position, but from
In the long run, market competition is inevitable. How can COMAC win the market? This can only be achieved through market competition, technology improvement, security guarantee, and cost control. The first two of these three items should not be a problem. However, in terms of cost control, Airbus and Boeing have adopted a global procurement model and even mass-produced parts in China. Faced with this kind of competition, COMAC should consider building a supporting production system in a region with technical capabilities, relatively low labor costs and superior transportation conditions to minimize costs and enhance product competitiveness. Weimin and I believe that Changjiang, or more specifically, the Changzhou Songzhou Economic Belt is the most qualified."
Yin Guozhao's view was also planned after discussion with Lu Weimin. He originally planned to discuss it at the right time when Gao Liwen inspected the 195 factory, but now the conditions are more appropriate, so of course he told it.
Gao Liwen listened very seriously.
Yin Guozhao's words also fit his point of view.
Changjiang does have this condition. Changzhou itself is an important aerospace industry base in China. AVIC Group's 195 Factory, Changfa Group and a considerable number of affiliated enterprises are here. At the same time, through its rapid development over the past decade, Songzhou has become a well-known mid-to-high-end machinery and equipment manufacturing base in China, with a wide range of products and has won the reputation of the largest robot production base in China. Shanghai Electric even chose the nuclear power equipment manufacturing base in Songzhou, which is also based on this.
There are naturally reasons why COMAC chose the assembly plant in Shanghai, but a large number of basic parts and various parts manufacturing can be completely selected in Changjiang. From the perspective of labor costs, technical support and strategic security, Changjiang is the best choice.
Seeing Gao Liwen nodding slightly, Yin Guozhao and Lu Weimin were both very excited. They did not expect to win Gao Liwen's recognition so easily. Of course, recognition is one thing, but it is another thing to really put it into practice. There are more procedures here, and there are still many difficulties to overcome, and a lot of basic work needs to be done, but this is a good start, especially when AVIC Group has already made some moves.
"Prime Minister, we have also consulted with AVIC on some opinions on this aspect. AVIC also realized that early research and development and later commercial operations are completely different. Early research and development can dominate the whole country, but later commercial operations are market-oriented operations, so we have to consider how to win customers. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring technology and safety, price is very important, and Mr. Guo also agrees with this point." Lu Weimin also added. (To be continued.)
