Problems and Countermeasures in Strengthening the Construction of National Strategic Hinterland
The Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of 2023 proposed for the first time to strengthen the construction of national strategic hinterland,and the Third Plenary Session of the Twentieth Central Committee further emphasized the need to"build a national strategic hinterland and key industrial backup",which is related to the high-level development of China's large urban agglomerations,as well as national security under the unprecedented change of the century.In the medium-term development goal of national strategic hinterland construction,it is necessary to enlarge and strengthen the hinterland of national-level large city clusters,and more importantly,to promote the rise of the greater central region to make new major breakthroughs.At present,the strategic hinterland construction of China's large city clusters exists problems such as insufficient strong cooperation,failure to form an orderly hinterland economic gradient,and insufficient depth of industrial division of labor.The strategic hinterland construction of the Greater Central Region exists problems such as weak development of central cities,lagging development of the hinterland of the national sub-city clusters in the region,and weak foundation for urban-rural integration and development due to the low level of industrialization and urbanization of the county economy.In the future,strengthening the construction of the national strategic hinterland can be started from the following three aspects:Firstly,to optimize the urban pattern to comprehensively improve the quality of urbanization in the national strategic hinterland.Secondly,to make efforts to build and improve the national"two main and one auxiliary"industrial chain,and during the period of the Tenth Five-Year Plan,efforts will be made to build a third industrial chain(the national strategic auxiliary chain)in the central region.Thirdly,to develop the distinctive advantages of the central region in such important areas as ecological safeguards,urban-rural integration and comprehensive rural revitalization,expanding consumption,and strengthening the function of the central transportation and logistics hub.
