Chapter 566 Strategic Circle
After drawing three circles, Liu Tao showed a thoughtful look.
His eyes looked towards the northeast.
To be precise, it was the Liaozhongnan Industrial Base!
There is no doubt that the Liaozhongnan Industrial Base is one of the most important economic zones and heavy industrial bases in my country. It is an important heavy industrial base in my country, and it is also the largest heavy industrial base in my country. It is an old industrial base in my country. It is located in the north ring of Bohai Bay and the northwest coast of the Yellow Sea. The coast is 2,100 kilometers long. The area is dominated by heavy industries such as steel, machinery, and petrochemicals.
After the reform and opening up, with the gradual development of the market economy, this industrial base faces severe development challenges.
Just for now, it faces many problems.
First, the industrial structure is single; second, the geographical location is relatively remote, transportation is inconvenient, and logistics costs are high, resulting in insufficient corporate competitiveness; finally, and the most important reason, it is undoubtedly the polar bear in the north. No one knows when it will go crazy and roar.
Liu Tao actually felt quite sorry for this place, because the Northeast is the most important heavy industrial base in the country and the place with the highest level of education in the country. However, it has been falling behind in the context of the continuous development of the market economy, so that later, the country invested heavily to revitalize the old industrial bases such as the Northeast.
At that time, there was even a saying: Investment does not go beyond Shanhaiguan!
This place can be said to be the place with the most concentrated state-owned enterprises in the country. There are even cities that appear because of a large state-owned enterprise, and the entire city revolves around the large state-owned enterprise.
In Liu Tao's view, the Northeast has great development potential, but the problems it faces are also the most severe.
Because in order to revitalize the economy here, the most important thing is the innovation of the system and mechanism, followed by the adjustment of the industrial structure!
And the innovation of the system and mechanism undoubtedly requires breaking the inherent traditions and the original vested interests, which is equivalent to scraping the bone to heal the wound.
If this aspect is not resolved, no matter how much money and resources are invested here, it will be difficult to work.
Liu Tao then talked about some of his own analysis and concerns.
The old man smoked a cigarette and frowned slightly.
This problem will not become prominent in a dozen years, but has already begun to emerge.
The importance of the Northeast is beyond doubt.
Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning provinces cover an area of 787,300 square kilometers, accounting for nearly one-ninth of the country's area, and naturally have very important strategic significance.
Observing the Northeast from north to south, you can find many magnificent mountains, vast plains and winding rivers here.
This place has now become an important granary of China, and there are also 90 million people living here.
It can go to North Korea, South Korea, the Soviet Union and Outer Mongolia, and it can be said that the geographical location is very important.
He sighed softly.
Even though the reform and opening up has been in place for nearly ten years, it can be said that the reform and opening up have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and opened a new chapter in the history of China.
But in such a short time, it is difficult to solve all the problems, and there are thousands of problems.
Even he feels it is difficult.
He is a human, not a god!
Time is limited, and energy is limited!
"Let's skip the Northeast for now, and see how it develops. Maybe there will be better solutions in the future." After a pause, "You continue to talk about other places."
Liu Tao drew a circle in Jiangcheng, with Jiangcheng as the center, representing the central region of China.
There are six provinces in the central region, from north to south, namely Shanxi Province, Zhongyuan Province, Anhui Province, Jingchu Province, Jiangxi Province, and Anhui Province, with an area of 1.028 million square kilometers and a permanent population of more than 250 million.
This is an important national grain production base, energy and raw material base, modern equipment manufacturing and high-tech industrial base, and comprehensive transportation hub, and it plays a pivotal role in the country.
After the reform and opening up, the development speed of the central region is far less than that of the eastern coastal region, and it has obviously been unable to keep up with the pace of economic development.
But Liu Tao knows that a big country like China and its traditions are destined to make it impossible for China to develop only the eastern coastal region.
The central region must also develop.
The development of China will eventually pursue comprehensive development and ultimately achieve common prosperity.
It can be said that the central region is the region where the spillover effect of Panshan Group's development in the southwest region is most obvious.
For example, Panshan Group contracted the production of rare earths, which made rare earths sell at high prices. Even if they were exported, they were sold at corresponding prices, not at a bargain price.
Although this also led to the United States and other countries also developing their own rare earth resource mining, refining, and application, Liu Tao was very confident about this.
In the end, in this regard, the country with the largest rare earth resource reserves in the world will definitely have an advantage.
What's more, China's application volume itself is very large, and the growth rate is very fast.
Many materials need to use rare earths to improve the performance of the materials.
When talking about the western region, there is no doubt that the most eye-catching is the southwest region. The southwest region is located in the hinterland of China, and its importance is self-evident.
Now the southwest region is developing very fast, and no one can avoid Panshan Group. Panshan Group is the development engine of the entire southwest region.
In recent years, China has been suffering from drought for many years, but the southwest has not been affected by the drought. Not only does it not need national assistance, but it can also provide disaster-stricken brother provinces.
The food that Panshan Group obtained from Southeast Asian trade has greatly helped the country's disaster relief work.
The Panshan Group's grain imports from Southeast Asia and South America, coupled with the country's grain imports from the United States, have made up for the reduction in grain production caused by the drought and avoided the phenomenon of cannibalism during droughts.
Moreover, the Panshan Group has opened up two outlets to the south and is even building a railway. Once the railway is completed, the entire southwest will have two outlets, one of which can directly enter the Indian Ocean.
There is no doubt that these two outlets are crucial to the development of the entire southwest.
In addition to introducing the situation in Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia, Liu Tao also introduced the situation in Bhutan, Sikkim and other places.
Of course, it is inevitable to introduce the situation on the southern battlefield and some of Liu Tao's ideas.
"You little monkey, how dare you think so far before you even mention this matter." He scolded with a smile, "I can only talk about it here, but don't say it outside, especially in public places."
Liu Tao said quickly, "I understand, leader, I will review this matter."
"What we in China pursue is peaceful rise, not imperialism. Our Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation, and we in China are an important force in maintaining world peace."
"The leader is right, we will definitely achieve a peaceful rise and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." Liu Tao is full of confidence in this.
The road is tortuous, but the future is bright.
Having experienced it personally, Liu Tao naturally believed in it.
If there is anyone who has the most confidence in China's future in this era, it is definitely Liu Tao.
