The Midwest has gradually risen in recent years, will it overtake the coastal areas in the future?

Will coastal cities be overtaken by inland cities? I think this is simply a fallacy from world history.

From the perspective of the general trend of development, whether it is the development of the country, the development of cities and the economy, their ultimate trend is from the inland sea.

From the inland to the coast, this is because our current world civilization is not an inland civilization, but a maritime civilization ocean, which means the possibility of opening up to the outside world and close communication, and the ocean means having more resources, as well as other important countries and regions.

The important ways to connect, especially the important exports, will definitely be carried out in the coastal cities and coastal areas, and the inland cities can only get an indirect, You can look at China's reform and opening up.

In the 40-year history, we were able to set up 14 open coastal cities in the 80s.

These 14 open coastal cities have basically developed a lot, and for businessmen, the slower ones may be Yingkou in Liaoning and Beihai in Guangxi, but they are also better developed than themselves, not to mention that Qingdao, Dalian, and Ningbo have already become China's rising new cities, and we can find that in the setting up of several special economic zones.

It is also all coastal cities, Shantou, Zhuhai, Shenzhen.

Therefore, when we look at the whole historical development, we will find that the opening up of the coastal areas will bring more opportunities and more capital, and of course, there is no way for the inland cities to make China put forward the strategy of the rise of the central part of the country a long time ago. And as a lot of landlocked countries.

For example, like Kazakhstan.

For example, Mongolia, for example, is actually thinking about its own other space for international development, so it all comes down to geopolitics.

In other words, the development of the regional economy is not simply a question of urban development, but should be considered as a whole.

I don't think the western region will surpass the coastal area, because the western region is close to the inland and lacks the sea, while China's sea is very frequent, and the western region should develop industry.

I don't think I'll ever be able to overtake the cities along the coast. This is determined by the innate geographical location. There are harbors in coastal areas, which are conducive to import and export. And the inland does not have this advantage.

It is very difficult to surpass the coastal areas, and although the development speed of the central and western regions is increasing, the economic foundation is relatively poor, and there is still a certain gap between them and the coastal areas.

Answer] Zhiyucha: [Key Points of Answer] (1) The strategy of large-scale development of the western region is an important principle for coordinating regional development, promoting coordinated regional development, and narrowing the development gap between regions.

In 1978, it was proposed that some regions and some people would get rich first, and eventually achieve common prosperity;

In 1988, he put forward the idea of "two overall situations": one overall situation is that the eastern coastal areas should speed up the opening up to the outside world so that they can develop relatively quickly, and the western region should take into account this overall situation; Another overall situation is that when development reaches a certain period, such as when the whole country reaches the level of moderate prosperity by the end of this century, it is necessary to exert more forces to help the central and western regions speed up their development, and the eastern coastal areas must also be subordinated to this overall situation.

2) The implementation of the strategy of large-scale development of the western region is conducive to maintaining the sustained, rapid, and healthy development of China's economy. It is of great significance to maintaining political and social stability in the western region, promoting national unity, and ensuring border security. Promoting the large-scale development of the western region is the only way to improve the ecological environment and achieve sustainable development.

The development of the western region is also conducive to supporting the economically developed areas in the east to speed up the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure and the transfer of industries.

Therefore, the implementation of the strategy of large-scale development of the western region will not only not hinder the economic development of the eastern coastal areas, but will also be conducive to the further economic development of the eastern region.

Not yet, but with the adjustment of the policy, it will slowly catch up.

It is hard to say, after all, since ancient times, except for wars, the economy in the eastern part of the country has developed well.

China's three-step strategy says that the third-step goal is to make the people live a relatively prosperous life by the middle of the 21 st century, basically realize modernization, and reach the level of a moderately developed country in terms of per capita gross national product, so that the people can live a relatively prosperous life. Now there are still 40 years left according to this goal, and there are some years to be implemented for the development of the western region and the great rise of the central region, and the two major policies are implemented in parallel, and as far as the central region is concerned, I personally feel that it will take 15 or 18 years to realize the rise of the entire central region. Let's take a look at its advantages first, the scope of the middle:

Henan --- population and a large food province; Hubei --- a major hydropower province; Hunan --- a major non-ferrous metal province; Anhui --- a major freshwater province; Jiangxi --- a major non-ferrous metal province; Shanxi --- a major coal province. Its advantages are obvious, Henan can solve the food problem, Anhui can solve the problem of industrial residents in the central part of the water problem; Hubei forms the southern power grid in the central region, and Shanxi is the northern power grid, not only in the central region, but also in the Beijing-Tianjin region; Hunan and Jiangxi can rely on non-ferrous metals to form advantageous industries. Of course, this is only an important advantage of the six central provinces.

The central region connects the east to the west, and connects the south to the north. With the technical and financial support of the east, the market in the north and south, and the resource input in the west, it has good location conditions. Looking at the defects again, the population is large, there are 25 million surplus laborers, and the problems of agriculture and agriculture are more prominent.

Moreover, the central part of the country is the slowest in the east, the middle and the west, and the development rate of the western region is three times that of the central region, and the GDP difference between the central and eastern regions has increased by six times, and there is a state of collapse. To sum up, I think it should take 15 to 18 years. Personal opinion, pure entertainment.
