The "Belt and Road" is a comprehensive strategy integrating foreign economy, cross-border cooperation, spatial layout, implementation measures and other aspects. The strategy of the South China Sea, the rise of the west, and the thoroughfare to the northwest... will contribute to the new spatial pattern of the country.

From coastal product trade to inland rise of industry and technology
From the geographical discovery to the industrial revolution, the trade led way of various countries experienced the development process of "product trade - financial trade - industrial capital - technological innovation". With the transformation of trade mode, the leading area has also experienced a gradual transfer from the seaport area to the inland Rhine region.
Cooperation and win-win development of land and sea linkage
The rapid rejuvenation of Europe benefited from joint development, breaking trade and political barriers between European countries, reducing transaction costs, enhancing the mobility of personnel and optimizing the allocation of resources, focusing on the construction of a land sea integrated transport system, and unifying space and infrastructure construction policies (Liu Dan, 2013)
The "Blue Banana" region with the Rhine River Basin as the core is the strategic core of Europe's land sea interaction
The "Blue Banana" belt led by the Rhine River forms the central structure of the European sea land cargo transportation system (Mai Xianmin 2008).

The eastern and central western regions rely on the Atlantic Ocean to face Europe
In the first half of the 19th century, the national strategy of the United States was to take the port trade of East New York as the core, the manufacturing industry of the Chicago metropolitan area in the Midwest as the hinterland, and to connect with the coastal Atlantic region through canals and railways.
The west relies on the Pacific Ocean and faces the Asia Pacific region
In the second half of the 19th century, the national strategy of the United States was to pay equal attention to the east and the west. Mining cities in the west were transforming into innovation, entertainment, trade, aviation, information and other industries, forming three coastal metropolitan areas of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle.
The south relies on the Gulf of Mexico to face Latin America
In the first half of the 20th century, driven by oil resources and defense investment, the U.S. national strategy opened to the south, forming four metropolitan areas, including Dallas, Houston, Atlanta and Orlando.

China's five gateway regions promote the comprehensive opening of "three sectors"
From the perspective of the development strategic direction of the EU and the United States, both are promoting multi direction opening to respond to the changes in the global pattern. China has established the overall pattern of "three sectors" opening through the opening of five gateway regions.
South China - A global economic hub with the Pearl River Delta as the core, linking Southeast Asia and domestic emerging markets.
Southwest China - Chengdu Chongqing region is the connection and transformation hub of the strategic maneuver along the Belt and Road, and Yunnan region is an open door to India, Myanmar and other South Asian regions.
Northwest China - With Guantian Town Cluster as the core, focusing on ensuring the safety of energy channels and the depth of national strategic security, it is an important land channel for Eurasian trade.
Bohai Rim and Yangtze River Delta - It will further optimize the spatial pattern of the eastern coastal areas, expand the radiation hinterland, promote the transformation of central cities, and participate in the global high-end competition.

Innovation advantages: The enterprises in the Pearl River Delta, represented by Huawei and ZTE, have gone to the world market by virtue of their innovative advantages and gradually occupied the high-end sectors of the industry.

Global economic hub of China and emerging market countries
By linking the global emerging markets such as ASEAN and South Asia and the hinterland of inland markets such as southwest China, on the one hand, we will consolidate emerging markets, on the other hand, strengthen all-round cooperation with countries along the line, accelerate the construction of a new economic pattern in the Indian Ocean Rim region, and guide China to integrate into the world market from a higher level and a wider range.
A window showing China's peaceful rise
Change the export structure dominated by low-end manufacturing industry to the industrial export structure dominated by high-tech and modern services, and promote the transformation and development of the South China Sea region by transferring the potential energy of the world market.
Southeast Asia Economic, Trade and Cultural Cooperation Center

4. Promote Thailand "Keladixia Plan" To reduce the dependence on the channel of the Malacca Strait.

Connecting hub of national land and sea linkage opening
The two open interfaces of the "Belt and Road", both sea and land, have certain political uncertainties. Due to the connection of the inland north-south railway corridor and the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the southwest region has become the core hub of the Belt and Road, and will be an important buffer zone when the "Belt and Road" is facing geopolitical risks.
The trade frontier of the country opening to the local market
The frontier position of Southwest China in opening up to the outside world continues to strengthen. The total volume of foreign trade imports and exports of Sichuan ranks first in Central and Western China, especially in the connection with Europe and ASEAN.
National strategic security rear
The southwest region is China's rear facing the international region of the Indian Ocean. It has an important strategic position and is of great significance for international access and resource security.

More than 2000 years ago, the "Silk Road" starting from Chang'an, ancient China (now Xi'an, Shaanxi) in the east and reaching the Roman Empire in the west was not only an important economic artery across Eurasia in history, but also a friendly route for cultural exchanges between the East and the West, forming a rich cultural landscape and cultural resources along the route.

Main artery of intercontinental trade exchange
The northwest region is an important channel for China to carry out economic and trade exchanges with Europe and West Asia. Its value is embodied in the freight transportation of intercontinental railway; Second, it is reflected in the transportation of energy materials such as oil, natural gas and mineral products; The third is the exchange and ethnic interaction between Chinese culture and European, Western and Central Asian cultures.
Urbanization corridor characterized by channels and nodes
The Eurasian Land Bridge is the re composition of the "two horizontal and three vertical" proposed in the national new urbanization plan, and is one of the core areas of urbanization in northern China. Under the strategy of opening to the west, central cities will play a more important role in opening up to the outside world, comprehensive industrial bases, and the development of regional service functions, and guide the population to continue to gather.
International channel security
The northwest region is bordered by seven countries. By building a prosperous and stable border city, it promotes trade and cultural exchanges with neighboring countries, which is conducive to exchanges and security of international channels.

Strengthen the construction of international trade channels
Build the Eurasian Intercontinental Railway, revitalize the main freight transport channel in Eurasia, and form an important energy import channel for the country. Expand the branch line of the Eurasian Continental Bridge to realize the multi-channel linkage between the northwest and the inland.

Construct the linkage development pattern of "port city - border central city - regional central city"
1. The Lanzhou Xinjiang Railway Corridor gathers 1/3 of the total population of the northwest region and 1/2 of the urban population. Under the strategy of opening to the west, it focuses on cultivating the central city on the Lanzhou Xinjiang Railway Corridor.
2. Relying on Lanzhou and Xixian National New Area, build "Lanzhou Yinxi" and "Guanzhong Tianshui" town clusters, and develop into another important city cluster after the five national city clusters.
3. With Urumqi as the core city, build a new round of open frontier and window cities such as Hotan, Kashi, Aksu, Yining, Altay Beitun, and Secrecy.

With the construction of Xixian National New Area as the core, accelerate the construction of the "Guanzhong Tianshui" town group, the hub of the northwest corridor Xi'an, as the starting point of the Silk Road, the "Xi'an Metropolitan Circle" with Xi'an and Xianyang as the main cities, has always been the core area of the northwest region. The great advantages of Xixian New Area in terms of manufacturing foundation, talent dividend, high-tech, independent innovation, history and culture determine its important hub position under the new pattern of opening up in the northwest.
