The Yangtze Economic Belt

At its meeting on March 25, 2016, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee approved the Guidelines for Development Along the Yangtze Economic Belt, which covers 11 cities and provinces – Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. The Guidelines set the following goals to be achieved by 2020:

– marked improvement in environment, with effective protection and proper use of water resources; 

– more efficient utilization of the Yangtze River waterway, with major constraints removed and transportation capacity enhanced;

– significant progress in innovation-driven growth as a large number of world-class businesses and industrial clusters take shape, with enhanced capability to compete in international markets;

– greater openness to the outside world on all fronts, with overall planning for regional and marine economic activities, emphasis on both domestic and international markets, and close integration with efforts in the Belt and Road Initiative;

– greater coordination and sustainability, with development activities in different areas well-planned and properly implemented; 

– significant progress in reform in key areas, with a well-coordinated and efficient management system and an open and unified market for the Yangtze River basin; and

– considerable qualitative improvement in economic development, with an initial capacity established that will allow the region to provide important support to national economic and social development. 

In addition, the Guidelines also set the goals for 2030:

– overall improvement in the quality of water environment and the aquatic ecosystem;

– markedly enhanced ecological functions; 

– completion of the development of the Yangtze River with navigable rivers and waterways;

– an innovation-intensive industrial system;

– integrated development in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River;

– a better environment and dynamic economic activities;

– higher living standards; and 

– a stronger position for the region to play a role of pilot and provide important support to national economic and social development.

At a seminar on boosting the development of the Yangtze Economic Belt on April 26, 2018, Xi Jinping said that the key lies in striking a balance between all-round progress and breakthroughs at key points, between ecological conservation and economic growth, between overall planning and unremitting efforts, between removing old growth drivers and fostering new ones, and between regional development and coordinated development. The regions involved should apply the new concept for development, follow the underlying guideline of making progress while maintaining stability, promote well-coordinated environmental conservation and avoid excessive development, and strengthen reform and innovation, strategic coordination, planning and guidance, so as to spur high-quality economic growth with the development of the Yangtze Economic Belt.
