Building an Industrial Development Community in the Yangtze River Delta Region:Core Essence,Major Progress,and Upgrading Pathways
Building an industrial development community in the Yangtze River Delta region is the latest directive from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China regarding high-quality integrated development in the area and serves as the basis for establishing a regional development community.Em-bracing the"community"concept,which entails shared benefits and competitive elements,the initiative utilizes urban agglomerations as vehicles to transcend administrative boundaries.The essence involves closely coordinated vertical cooperation,fair and orderly horizontal competition,and a mutually benefi-cial cooperation system.While the Yangtze River Delta region has explored numerous approaches to con-structing an industrial development community,there is still ample room for improvement.Various mea-sures are required,such as harnessing leading enterprises in the industrial chain to forge stronger up-stream and downstream connections,consistently dismantling local protections and administrative barri-ers to nurture a fair competitive environment and foster deeper specialization,and introducing innovative cross-regional cost-sharing and benefit-sharing mechanisms to mitigate constraints from local interests and stimulate the intrinsic driving force of industrial cooperation.
