"Thirteen Girls in Jiangsu", counterattack?

not

From the "White Wine Capital" to the "Capital of Photovoltaic"

As the youngest of the 13 prefecture -level cities in Jiangsu, Suqian is located in the hinterland of northern Jiangsu. The total economic volume has been ranked at the end of Jiangsu for many years.

In the 26 years of establishing the city, taking off the "Jiangsu Thirteen Girls" hat has always been the direction of Suqian's efforts.

In the first half of this year, Suqian's GDP reached 175 billion yuan, which counterattacked Lianyungang (173.8 billion yuan) with a faint advantage of 1.2 billion yuan, and historically got rid of the "crane tail" situation.

However, behind the counterattack of "Thirteen Girls in Jiangsu" is the embarrassment of Suqian's difficult population loss, and the reality of "the industrial level is not high, the transformation and upgrading is far away".

Suqian is the youngest prefecture -level city in Jiangsu Province. In 1996, the four counties in the north under the jurisdiction of Huaiyin City — Suqian, Puyang, Siyang, and Sihong were set up in Suqian City. On the basis of the four "provincial poverty -stricken counties", Suqian City, which was formed, "found in poor foundation and thin foundation", GDP has been in the end of the province for many years.

In 2021, Suqian GDP reached 371.9 billion yuan, an increase of 1.44 times compared with 2012; its ranking in the national city GDP also jumped from the "100 outside" in 2012 to 75th. However, among the 13 cities in Jiangsu, the total economic volume of Suqian is still at the bottom, less than 1/5 of Suzhou.

If you want to remove the hat of "Jiangsu Thirteen Girls", Suqian first needs to catch up with Lianyungang.

In the past few decades, the economic contest between Suqian and Lianyungang, the latter took over the end. From 2000 to 2021, Lianyungang has long maintained a leading advantage of more than 10 billion, but in recent years, Suqian has gradually closer to the gap with Lianyungang. The gap between Suqian and Lianyungang in 2021 was less than 1 billion yuan, which was only one step away from the embarrassing situation that got rid of the last position.

The turning point appeared in the first half of this year. According to data from the Statistics Bureau of Suqian, in the first half of this year, Suqian GDP achieved 174.959 billion yuan, an increase of 2.7%year -on -year, and the growth rate was 1.1 percentage points faster than the province. During the same period, Lianyungang GDP was 173.766 billion yuan, which was nearly 1.2 billion yuan less than Suqian, and the growth rate was only 0.1%, which was close to stagnation.

Why can the young Suqian achieve a counterattack?

According to Shi Xiusong, a professor at Huaiyin Institute of Technology and executive dean of the Northern Jiangsu Development Research Institute, this is mainly due to the industrial development of Suqian. He told China News Weekly that at the beginning of the city of Suqian, the development of various aspects was relatively weak, but in recent years, it has developed very fast in recent years.

Shi Xiusong believes that Suqian's "counterattack" is promoted by various factors. He said that from the perspective of industry, the wine industry is the pillar industry of Suqian. The wine industry has led the development of related industries such as food, forming a relatively complete industrial chain and industrial cluster.

As one of the "Chinese wine capital", Suqian has two white wines in Yanghe and Shuanggou. In August 2012, Suqian was officially awarded the title of "China Laojiu Capital" by the China Light Industry Federation and the China Wine Industry Association. Yibin.

In 2021, Suqian City's wine companies achieved an output value of 38.644 billion yuan, an increase of 33.98%year -on -year, of which the output value of the liquor industry was 37.818 billion yuan, a year -on -year increase of 33.88%. The city's liquor industry tax revenue was about 8.1 billion yuan, an increase of 19.2%year -on -year, accounting for 17.32%of the city's annual tax revenue. Among them, Jiangsu Yanghe Winery Co., Ltd., located in Yanghe New District, Suqian City, is the first "taxpayer" in Suqian.

On the other hand, Jiangsu promoted the "north -south hook, pairing support" in the province. Suqian's pairing object is Suzhou, which is known as the "strongest prefecture -level city". Shi Xiusong said that the integrated industrial integration of the north and the south, including industrial talents, scientific and technological talents, etc., provided help for the development of Suqian.

According to the official statistics of Suqian, as of now, Suqian has undertaken 952 various transfer projects in Suzhou, with a cumulative investment of 189.9 billion yuan, and has achieved tax revenue of 12.3 billion yuan, which has driven the employment population over 500,000. Essence Shi Xiusong said, "The landing of some large projects laid the foundation for Suqian's industrial transformation and upgrading."

The Su Su Industrial Park is regarded as a "model student" in the "north -south hook" co -construction park. Since the assessment of the joint construction of the province in Jiangsu in 2010, the Su Su Industrial Park has won the "Eleventh Consecration" in the province's co -construction parks. In 2020, Su Su Industrial Park created a 5.6%general public budget revenue, 6.2%tax revenue, 7.8%of the regulations of the city, and 15%of the high -tech industry output value of 5.6%of the city. Become an important growth pole of Suqian's economy.

"Through the attractiveness of external industries, it is the key to the development of the industrial development of the local industry through the attracting external industry, which is the key to stimulating and forming endogenous motivation." Shi Xiu Song, for example, said that the textile industry in Su Su Industrial Park is actually the advantage of Suzhou's textile industry. It became a special industry in Suqian, and then became the endogenous motivation of Suqian's development.

The change in traffic conditions is also a key factor for Suqian to achieve leapfrogging. Shi Xiusong said that Suqian is located at the northernmost northernmost end in northern Jiangsu, and the transportation is not convenient. However, due to the penetration of the high -speed rail, the development of highways and the changes in traffic conditions, it has also brought realistic conditions to the development of Suqian. When it comes to Suqian's industrial development, the e -commerce industry is an inseparable topic. When it comes to the local e -commerce industry, we have to mention Liu Qiangdong, who came from Suqian, and JD.com founded by him. In November 2009, Jingdong Customer Service Center officially settled in Suqian. After more than ten years, Suqian became an important base for Jingdong; Suqian relying on JD.com to quickly expand related industrial maps and grew into a "e -commerce city" in China.

In April 2020, the State Council formally approved the establishment of a "China (Suqian) Cross -border E -commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zone".

It is said that when Liu Qiangdong initially set up Jingdong Customer Service Center in Suqian, there was no local railway station. Today's Suqian has the largest business call center in the country. Suqian 16 towns and 132 villages were selected as Alibaba's "National Taobao Town" and "National Taobao Village", ranking first in Jiangsu Province. Suqian's nearly 5 million permanent residence population has a population of more than 550,000 in e -commerce. In other words, at least one of each of the 10 people is engaged in the e -commerce industry.

"Several aspects of factors are comprehensive, and Suqian has the objective environment and resource conditions for development." Shi Xiu Song said. In his opinion, Suqian's "counterattack" put pressure on the development of other cities in northern Jiangsu, but at the same time, Suqian's use of resources and policies, including the resources and policies of the North and South collaborations, provided it for the development of other cities in northern Jiangsu. Experience for reference.

The population flows nearly one million

The last breakout of Suqian has aroused a lot of attention. But while making great development, Suqian also faced a lot of problems. A large loss of population is one of the problems that need to be faced.

Recently, at the first talent development conference held in Suqian, Wang Hao, the secretary of the Suqian Municipal Party Committee, personally recruited the city's "development partners". In the context of "grabbing people" in various places, Suqian's new way of promotion makes people shine.

It is understood that the theme of the first Talent Development Conference of Suqian is "Qian Suqian and Create the Future". At the meeting, Suqian issued a new policy of "Suqian" series, and opened the "Suqing Station" to provide young talents with a longest 10 -day free accommodation.

At the same time, Suqian also introduced a sincere talent policy such as "10 Science and Technology Innovation" and "Suqian Talent". For example, the selected dual -innovation talents and double innovation teams will give up to 1 million yuan of innovation and entrepreneurship funding and maximum talent funding for talent funds; implement the talent living project, and give a "house purchase voucher with a maximum of 2 million yuan according to different situations. "Subsidies and rental subsidies.

Some analysts pointed out that the reason why Suqian recruits talents in such a high -profile recruitment is the embarrassing status quo that needs to face the loss of population.

As one of the most affordable cities in Jiangsu, Suqian's resident population was 4.999 million at the end of 2021, with a resident population of 5.9086 million, and the difference between the two was 909,600. In other words, the net outflow of Suqian's population is nearly one million.

"For cities such as Suqian's short -established time, in the absence of external comparative advantages, the net outflow of population has become an important issue that needs to be resolved in Suqian City." Wang Jingzheng, associate professor of Suqian College, etc. Research on Household Family Reform Policies.

Not only that, from the perspective of changes in the registered population, the number of people moved out of Suqian was far greater than the number of people moved in. The papers written by Yan Qingwu and others at the School of Public Management of China University of Mining and Technology, "Research on the Population of Population of Suqian City", showed that among the two districts and three counties under the jurisdiction of Suqian, the population flow of Sucheng District and Puyang County The top two are in line; the number of relocation is more than two districts in Liyang County, Sihong County, Siyang County, and Suyu District. During the number of people moved out, the number of people in the two districts of Suqian City moved to other areas in Jiangsu Province was mostly.

Shi Xiusong told China News Weekly that the outflow of Suqian's population did not happen recently, and the difference in population was formed for a long time. He said that around 2000, the population of Suqian flowed out very fast. Now the population flow has eased. Especially after the development of the industry, "some people who go out to work have begun to return, and there may be more in the future."

Some analysts believe that the insufficient competitiveness of Suqian in Jiangsu Province has led to less attractive attractiveness to talents. High -end talents and other levels of talents usually choose other relatively developed urban development in the province to seek more opportunities. For example, Xuzhou, Nanjing, Nanjing, Nanjing, the capital city of the northern Jiangsu Economic Center bordering Suqian, Suzhou, "the strongest prefecture -level city" Suzhou, or more developed Shanghai, Beijing and other places.

Wang Guangzhou, a researcher at the Institute of Population and Labor and Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told China News Weekly that according to the push -pull theory of population migration, the power of population migration was jointly moved out of the place of relocation (exclusion force) with the tensile (attractive) migration place. Composition, "the so -called exclusion force is whether the local is more suitable for survival and development, and pulling force is the more attractiveness of other places. Among them, the decisive role is economic factors." He said that in general, the population is from underdeveloped regions to economic developed areas, which is a process of "voting with your feet".

In Wang Guangzhou's view, it is actually very difficult to realize the rebellion of the population in relatively backward regions. "This is the law of economic, unless attractiveness is very great," he said. How to break the game?

Niu Fengrui, the former director of the City Development and Environmental Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Dean of the Small and Medium City Research Institute, told China News Weekly that many local governments tried to attract talents through preferential policies, but whether it can work is the key to the problem.

Specific to Suqian, the overall development level is low and the income is relatively high, which is considered a key factor that leads to a large number of outflows of its population.

It is worth mentioning that although Suqian counterattacked in the first half of the year and removed the hat of "Jiangsu Thirteen Girls", Suqian's per capita GDP (74476 yuan) in the city in 2021 is still the last in Jiangsu; The disposable income (29122 yuan) is also located at the bottom of Jiangsu.

In the opinion of Wang Shuhua, deputy dean and associate researcher of the Regional Modernization Research Institute of Jiangsu Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, compared with the developed areas of the provincial economy, Suqian's current most prominent problem is still not sufficiently developed, the "cake" is not large enough. It is necessary to accelerate development and use development methods to solve contradictions and problems.

"The industrial level is not high, and the transformation and upgrading are far away." This is the self -positioning of the government work report of Suqian 2022 for the development of the local industrial.

Niu Fengrui told China News Weekly that Suqian can carry forward the "two bottles of wine" left by the ancestors, which is of great significance to the development of the local economy. However, if you only rely on these "two bottles of wine" and have no other industrial support, you want to further achieve a breakthrough in economy.

In fact, Suqian also realized the traditional and single problem of the industrial structure. At the end of 2020, Suqian City's "Opinions on Accelerating the cultivation of key industrial chains to promote the development of industrial clusters" announced that it would focus on the cultivation of 20 industrial chains including crystal silicon photovoltaic, brewing (wine), textile clothing, and power batteries.

The "Opinions" proposes that by 2025, the city's 20 industrial chain output value will reach 700 billion yuan, and 2 billion -level industrial chains, 3 industrial chains of over 5 billion, and 15 industrial chains exceed 10 billion.

From the perspective of the development goals of 20 key industrial chains, in the future, Suqian's industrial economy will mainly have 5 major support -crystal silicon photovoltaic, chemical fibers, textiles and clothing, high -end home furnishings, and brewing (wine). Among them, the development goals of crystal silicon photovoltaic and chemical fibers are 100 billion yuan in output value, which shows that Suqian's desire for industrial breakthroughs. Relatively speaking, the output value target of brewing (wine) exceeds 60 billion yuan.

In addition to the label of "Jiudu", Suqian's most dazzling industrial label is "photovoltaic capital". In 2021, the production capacity of the crystal silicon photovoltaic industry chain of Suqian City reached 2GW, the production capacity of photovoltaic batteries reached 17.68GW, and the production capacity of photovoltaic components reached 22.08GW. The cumulative output value was 35.57 billion yuan, an increase of 201.07%year -on -year, but it was still not enough to surpass the wine industry.

Xia Jinwen, dean of the Jiangsu Academy of Social Sciences, believes that in terms of new types of industrialization, Suqian will further enhance the efforts of industrial transformation, support leading enterprises to promote the process of industrialization, strengthen the industrial chain. As a result, the new type of industrialization and informatization are integrated.

Shi Xiusong told China News Weekly that the population flow is driven by interests. On the one hand, it depends on the long -term development and on the other hand, it looks at real revenue. "If the work income can be increased after returning, and a matching industry can exert its own specialty, then it may generate a return of talents." He said.

Only retaining talents can develop; only development can retain talents. From this perspective, Suqian actively "grabbing people". In addition to excellent talent policies, more importantly, let the local economy and industry develop, provide more employment opportunities, and increase income level. Pick up.
