Analysis of spatial uneven development related to Northeast China based on"ternary circulation"of production
The"New Northeast China Phenomenon",marked by a sharp drop in economic growth,has gained prominence as a matter of uneven development in China since 2010.Based on theories of spatial political economy and industrial geography,this study develops a theoretical and empirical analytical framework for the causes of uneven development and the"New Northeast China Phenomenon".The study finds that:The uneven development is the result of capital movement in space,and the sharp decline in economic growth in Northeast China is closely related to spatial shifts in production networks.From 2002 to 2007,the Northeast region quickly participated in the vertical division of labor in the industrial chain of"international circulation"and"national circulation",enabling coordinated and balanced development between the Northeast region and other domestic regions.From 2007 to 2010,the Northeast region's involvement in both"international circulation"and"national circulation"was severely damaged by external demand shocks,while"regional circulation"was enhanced by government stimulus programs,sustaining high economic growth.From 2010 to 2017,the industrial chain correlation effect and trade substitution effect caused by external demand shocks began to emerge.The participation of the manufacturing industry in the Northeast region in the"ternary circulation"has decreased due to intensified competition and precipitating the"New Northeast China Phenomenon".This paper aims to offer fresh perspectives on the causal factors and empirical research strategies regarding China's uneven development,as well as policy recommendations to facilitate the Northeast region's deeper integration into the new development paradigm for economic revitalization.
