CCTV News (News broadcast): Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited Shanghai for five times. From a historical perspective and from a global perspective, he has pointed out the way forward for Shanghai to promote deeper reform and higher level of opening up and development in the new era, and provided a fundamental guide to follow and act. Keep in mind the General Secretary's request that Shanghai carry forward the great spirit of Party building, practice the concept of the people's city, take the lead, reform and innovation, explore the way to break the situation in the development of globalization, and forge ahead on the journey of creating new miracles of development in the new era with the vanguard attitude and the responsibility of the pioneers.
Shanghai, located at the front of the Yangtze River Delta, is China's largest economic center city. As the forefront of China's reform and opening up, General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the development of Shanghai.
During his visit to Shanghai, General Secretary Xi Jinping hoped that Shanghai would play a pioneering, exemplary and pioneering role and make greater contributions to national reform and development. Shanghai is required to focus on improving the city's energy level and core competitiveness, and constantly improve the governance capacity and level of socialist modern international metropolis. Keep in mind the General Secretary's request that Shanghai continue to struggle and forge ahead bravely on the journey of development in the new era.
In November 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally planned to promote the opening of the China International Import Expo in Shanghai. The General Secretary asked Shanghai to serve the overall situation of the reform, opening up and development of the whole country, and to complete the three new major tasks, namely, the establishment of new areas in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, the establishment of a science and technology innovation board and the pilot registration system in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and the implementation of the national strategy of regional integrated development in the Yangtze River Delta.
Implement the spirit of important instructions of the General Secretary, reverse the construction period in Shanghai, and "fight with wall charts". The three major tasks should go hand in hand. In August 2019, the new Lingang District was inaugurated. Now it has become a "pilot field" for deep cultivation and institutional opening. A number of frontier industrial clusters, such as integrated circuit, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, have flourished. In 2021, the total output value of industries above designated size will exceed 260 billion yuan.
Lu Yu, Deputy Director of High tech Industry and Scientific and Technological Innovation Division of Shanghai Lingang New Area Management Committee: In accordance with the important directive spirit of the General Secretary, we have standardized the internationally recognized most competitive free trade parks and free trade ports, and accelerated the construction of cutting-edge industrial clusters with key core technologies as the breakthrough. In the next stage, we will pay more attention to the cutting-edge, driving and international nature in the selection of industries, and build the new port area into a special economic functional zone with international influence and competitiveness as soon as possible.
In order to accelerate the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui have promoted the implementation of two rounds of three-year action plans. In terms of scientific and technological innovation linkage, industrial chain supply chain coordination, public service sharing and other aspects, the Yangtze River Delta ecological green integration development demonstration zone has gradually matured. In June this year, the Science and Technology Innovation Board celebrated its third anniversary in Shanghai. More than 420 companies were listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, with a total market value of more than 5 trillion yuan. This year, Shanghai will fully support the Science and Technology Innovation Board to deepen institutional innovation and promote more "hard technology" enterprises to go public.
In November 2020, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Pudong's development and opening up, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Shanghai in person, giving Pudong a major mission to build a leading area for socialist modernization. In accordance with the direction guided by the General Secretary, Pudong faces the world, expands its opening up, explores and moves forward on the road of breaking the rules and making innovations. 100 450 reform and opening up tasks have been fully implemented, a number of major functional innovation initiatives have taken the lead, and Pudong's high-level reform and opening up has advanced in depth.
Throughout Shanghai, the Huangpu River and Suzhou River pass through the city, giving the city the grandeur of the rivers and seas and the tenderness of the water town. In November 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Yangpu Binjiang during his inspection in Shanghai and put forward the affectionate ruling concept of "cities are people's cities and people's cities are people", pointing out that people should be the center of urban planning and urban construction, new urban construction and old urban reconstruction.
General Secretary Xi Jinping said, "In the final analysis, our city is the people's city and the people's happy paradise. The public space should be expanded and improved. The people here have a sense of gain and happiness. I wish you a happy life."
Bearing in mind the earnest instructions of the General Secretary, Shanghai will accelerate the pace of building a people's city. Transform the old residential areas, protect and inherit the historical context of the city, and create a good urban ecology. In the past five years, the number of parks has doubled to 532. Next, Shanghai will also implement the "Thousand Parks" plan. Today, the 45km public shoreline of the Huangpu River and 42km public shoreline of the Suzhou River have been opened one after another, opening the most elite and core riverside area of Shanghai to the citizens.
Zhang Ming, a citizen of Shanghai: Recently, I feel that the open space has become larger, the footpath has become more, and the coverage rate of green plants has become more. It's a great feeling to look at the buildings and the scenery, plus the blue sky.
Our mission is on our shoulders, and we will never neglect it. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Shanghai's comprehensive strength has leapt to a new level. In the past five years, the city's GDP has continuously crossed the two major levels of 3 trillion yuan and 4 trillion yuan, and the per capita GDP has reached 26900 dollars.
Hua Yuan, Director of Shanghai Development and Reform Commission: Accelerating the construction of a modern socialist international metropolis with world influence is the clear positioning of General Secretary Xi Jinping for Shanghai. Keep in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest instructions, carry forward the great spirit of Party building, take the lead and take the responsibility of pioneers, fully implement the major strategic tasks of the country, solidly promote the reform and opening up in depth, and constantly create a new situation of people's city construction.
