Author:


The China (Chongqing) Pilot Free Trade Zone mainly carries out the central government's task of playing the important role of Chongqing's strategic fulcrum and connection point. Positioned as the leader of Chongqing's economic development and the core area of Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone, Liangjiang New Area gives full play to the advantages of the "Belt and Road" and the connection point of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and the core area of the China-Singapore (Chongqing) strategic interconnection demonstration project. Key strategic emerging industries such as finance, modern logistics, producer services, and high-end manufacturing are the key directions, deeply integrated into the high-end of the global value chain and build a modern industrial base.

  Deep integration into the high-end of the global value chain

The central government has decided to set up pilot free trade zones in seven provinces and cities, including Chongqing, and clearly requires that "the Chongqing pilot free trade zone is mainly to implement the requirements of the central government on giving full play to the important role of Chongqing's strategic fulcrum and connection point, and to increase the opening up of gateway cities in the western region, so as to promote the in-depth implementation of the strategy of large-scale development of the western region". According to this requirement, the overall plan of China (Chongqing) pilot Free Trade Zone proposes that Chongqing pilot Free Trade Zone will take institutional innovation as its core task, and strive to build an inland pilot free trade zone with convenient investment and trade, efficient and convenient supervision, high-end industrial agglomeration, perfect financial services, standardized legal environment and obvious driving effect, It has become an inland international logistics center, inland service trade center and inland functional financial center, it has become an important hub for the interconnection of the "Belt and Road" and the Yangtze River Economic Belt, an important fulcrum of the western development strategy, and a pioneer area for the China-Singapore (Chongqing) strategic interconnection demonstration project.

In the past few decades, the distribution of China's processing trade has been very uneven, almost all along the coast, mainly because most of the raw materials and parts come from overseas, and the products are also sold overseas. The logistics cost and logistics efficiency of more than 2000 kilometers from the coast to the inland have become a great constraint. At the same time, there is a lack of bonded logistics platform in the inland, customs and border defense have to repeat inspection, and the procedures are complicated. The mode of "two ends outside, big in and big out" is not suitable for China's inland areas. In recent years, Chongqing, which is located in western China, has built three major transportation hubs of water, air and railway, as well as three ports and three bonded areas corresponding to each other, represented by electronic information and automobile industries. the mode of economic development has changed from large-scale in and large-out and low added value to the formation of large-scale industrial clusters and the extension of industrial chains.

Liangjiang New Area, in particular, carries the important mission of exploring new paths for inland areas to participate in the international market. By building an open platform and expanding open channels, it has formed a global-oriented manufacturing, R & D, settlement, headquarters (final assembly, assembly), and key parts. An open industrial system of "cluster development and vertical integration" of the industrial chain, the formation of "financial expansion of demand, demand to pry the market, the market to attract manufacturing, manufacturing to promote research and development support" inland emerging markets to absorb the world's advanced elements of the industry to promote the development of the path, the real realization of inland and coastal opening no distance difference, no cost difference.

At present, China's economy has entered a new normal, and the traditional WTO model cannot adapt to today's complicated economic situation. From a national perspective, the driving force of the world economy on my country's growth has weakened, developed countries have promoted "re-industrialization" from a high starting point, and emerging market countries have accelerated industrialization, forming a double squeeze on my country's inland areas to undertake international industries and capital transfers; between regions The convergence of industrial function positioning, policy dividends, and competition for resource elements have formed new competitive pressures. From the perspective of the whole city, Chongqing's development is at the "four key nodes". Accelerating the transformation of development power and promoting the upgrading of industrial structure have put forward new requirements for Liangjiang New Area to expand its opening up and play a leading and exemplary role.

Opening up is essentially a market economy proposition, and its connotation is that a country or region participates in the "two markets" at home and abroad, allocates "two resources", and promotes the development of domestic or local production, the expansion of trade, and the improvement of people's lives. Both "hardware" facilities and "software" institutional arrangements are needed. As a window to connect with the world, the construction of Chongqing pilot free trade zone gathers more institutional advantages, mainly aiming at the facilitation of trade, financing and factor flow, and the core is to further reduce the operating cost of transnational investment in Chongqing. As the core area of Chongqing pilot free trade zone, Liangjiang new area will further expand the opening up of manufacturing and service industries, deepen the opening up and innovation of financial sector by reducing and removing the access restrictions on foreign investment, and focus on selecting advanced manufacturing industries such as automobile, electronic information, equipment manufacturing and modern service industries such as finance, logistics, commerce, professional services, cultural services and social services, Promote the transformation and upgrading of processing trade, so as to promote the deep integration of the industry into the high-end of the global value chain, create an "upgraded version" of inland opening, and cultivate my country's new advantages for global competition.

  Planning seven functional groups as industrial carriers

Externally, the Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone connects with international high-standard economic and trade rules and leads a new round of global development of the inland economy; internally, it is an important platform for promoting industrial upgrading and structural adjustment.

After more than seven years of development, the advantages of industrial clusters in Liangjiang New Area gradually formed. The three dominant pillar industries of automobile, electronic information and equipment manufacturing have developed and grown, and the degree of agglomeration has been continuously improved. In 2016, the output value reached 270.334 billion yuan, 104.789 billion yuan and 39.033 billion yuan respectively. Modern service industries such as finance, commerce, logistics, exhibitions, and information services have become new driving forces for economic growth. Among them, the financial industry achieved an added value of 26.514 billion billion yuan, an increase of 19.8. Strategic emerging manufacturing industries such as new energy and smart cars, electronic core components, robots and smart equipment, general aviation, cloud computing and the Internet of Things, and strategic emerging services such as international logistics, big data, health care, and cultural and creative tourism. service industry.

With the approval of Chongqing pilot free trade zone, Liangjiang New Area has ushered in a new stage of superimposed development of China (Chongqing) pilot free trade zone, core area of China Singapore (Chongqing) strategic interconnection demonstration project and national independent innovation demonstration zone, which not only brings cross regional flow of commodities, but also makes it easier for regional capital and labor flow and knowledge diffusion, The interdependence and mutual influence of Chinese and foreign economies are increasingly strengthened. In order to highlight the advantages of national railway, waterway, highway and aviation multimodal transport integrated transportation hub and the advantages of high-end service industry and manufacturing industry, Liangjiang New Area is divided into seven functional groups as carriers to undertake the construction of Chongqing pilot free trade zone and enhance the space for international cooperation.
