Identification and Spatial Layout of the Source-sink Functions of New Quality Productive Forces in the New Era of China
Developing new quality productive forces(NQPF)tailored to local conditions is a fundamental requirement for advancing high-quality development.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,China has gradually formed a NQPF strategic framework integrating policy support,factor allocation,and industry guidance.This paper systematically examines the evolution and spatial organization of NQPF,identifies their spatial distribution from the perspective of source-sink functions,and explores strategic positioning and policy guidance for different functional types,including development centers,sources,reservoirs,and hinterlands.Research findings are as following:1)The development of NQPF exhibits the spatial convergence of industry and innovation,spatial dependence on locational advantages,and diversification of factor flow patterns.These effects contribute to the regional source-sink functions of factor coupling,efficacy differentiation,and scale nesting.2)During the study period,the sink and source functions of NQPF in China exhibited an uneven distributionpattern that is higher in the north of China than that in the south of China,and higher in the south of China than that in the north of China,respectively.It forms eastern,southern,northern,and western functional zones.Therefore,it is essential to implement policies that align with the development orientation and resource endowment of different regions,foster a combination of source-sink functions,leverage complementary advantages,and coordinate cross-regional layouts to achieve high-quality regional coordination and development.
