Reporter of China News Agency: What is the advantage of the Western Land and Sea New Channel in the regional industrial chain and transportation chain? How to evaluate its operating effect over the past 5 years?

Lin Yongxin: The Western Luhai New Channel is located in the hinterland of western China. It connects the Yangtze River Economic Belt internally and connects the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. After 5 years of development, this international trade channel has become an important axis that connects the provinces and regions and municipalities in western China to promote complementary advantages and joint development. corridor.

The Western Luhai New Channel has realized the development strategies of the Chinese market and the ASEAN market, the Northwest region and the southwestern region, the development of the western development and the comprehensive deepening of reform and opening up in the western region, and played a significant role in supporting the regional industrial chain. At the same time, the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities along the route have strengthened co -construction and sharing, cooperated to build logistics parks, industrial parks, and comprehensive operation platforms, shared information to communicate with information, fully coordinate the advantages and conditions of industrial development, and realize the coordinated development of industries along the route.

The Chinese have a consensus: we get rich first. At the level of transportation chain, in recent years, the Western Luhai New Channel has successively built a group of Guiyang to Nanning Railway, Syrian Yong to Bijie Railway, Leye to Baise Expressway, Qinzhou Port East Channel Expansion Project, Zhongxin Nanning International Logistics Park Infrastructure such as railways, highways, ports, and logistics operation platforms, the logistics flow has increased significantly, the transportation costs are significantly reduced, and the logistics benefits and service levels continue to increase.

Official data show that in 2021, the Western Land and Sea New Channel Hai Railway Links Capital Cumulative Trip of 6117, a year -on -year increase of 33%; China -Vietnam cross -border trains (via Pingxiang Railway Port) opened a total of 1904 columns, an increase of 50.6%year -on -year. In the first quarter of 2022, the Western Land and Sea New Channel Sea Railway Link Capital completed a total of 1736 columns, an increase of 31%year -on -year; China -Vietnam Cross -border Train ran 98 columns, with 2,940 shipping bids, a year -on -year increase of 27.3%and 34.1%.

Reporter of China News Agency: What does the Western Luhai New Channel on the Comprehensive Implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP), the construction of the 3.0 version of the China -ASEAN Free Trade Zone, and the construction of the China -ASEAN destiny community?

Lin Yongxin: The rapid development of the New Land and Sea Channel in the West has further stimulated the coordinated connection between the Chinese market and the ASEAN market. In the past five years, relying on the construction of the new land and sea channels in the western region, trade with ASEAN has maintained a double -digit growth trend annually. In the future, with the implementation of trade facilitation measures, especially the reduction of non -tariff barriers, its promotion effect on China -ASEAN trade will be more prominent.

As an important carrier to implement the RCEP and China -ASEAN Free Trade Zone 3.0 version of the trade investment facilitation policy, the Western Luhai New Channel will promote regional strategic cooperation between China and ASEAN countries and the construction of the Chinese -ASEAN destiny. Relying on this channel, China and ASEAN countries have opened the construction of new international land and sea trade channels. For example, since 2021, China and Singapore have jointly prepared the overall development plan of the Sino-Singapore Interconnection Project (2021-2025), special plans for four key areas, and special plans for other fields, and expand new areas and new spaces for cooperation between the two parties.

Reporter of China News Agency: In the post -epidemic era, how should the new Luhai New Channel improve and extend the development space of development? How to attract ASEAN and even more countries and regions to participate in co -construction?

Lin Yongxin: First of all, we must fully evaluate the development trend of the global industrial chain and value chain in the post -epidemic era, and make more scientific positioning of the construction of the channel in combination with the actual situation.

On this basis, strengthen the top -level design, adjust the key tasks in a timely manner according to changes in the international situation and the needs of China's new development pattern. For example, since the Ukraine crisis, the international energy and food supply chain has been impacted, and the construction of the Western Land and Sea New Channel should further plan in these areas to expand regional cooperation space. On the other hand, it is necessary to deepen the cooperation of relevant provinces and regions and municipalities in China, optimize the business environment, and increase the attraction to the main markets of ASEAN and even foreign countries. Each region should strengthen the docking and agglomerations of people flow, logistics, information flow, and capital flow, eliminate regional barriers, form a joint force, and create a channel logistics economic circle.

In addition, it is necessary to make full use of the opportunity of RCEP to take effect, optimize the division of labor and promote industrial upgrading. Establish food and mineral deep processing bases in Chongqing, Guangxi and other places, linking China -Europe trains to radiate Europe, promote regional economic integration, enhance comparative advantages, and expand scale effects.

Reporter of China News Agency: As one of the earliest departure of the Maritime Silk Road in China and an important node of the New Land and Sea Channel, what role can Guangxi play in promoting the construction of the new land and sea channels?

Lin Yongxin: Guangxi's location advantage is obvious. Connecting the land and sea in ASEAN countries can play a bridge connection, rely on border and Harbor port, and promote the comprehensive and effective connection between the Chinese market and the ASEAN market; give full play to the role of the window, rely on the China -ASEAN Expo platform to promote China and ASEAN cooperation in wide areas such as industry and trade.

Guangxi and ASEAN countries have created many cooperation platforms and mechanisms in wide fields of economic and trade, humanities, education, and industries. In the future, they can in -depth understanding of cooperation needs of regions along the route and use the important role of the establishment platform in information sharing, negotiation and exchanges in information sharing, negotiation and exchanges , Promote exchanges and interactions along the route, and promote this international land and sea new channels.

Reporter of China News Agency: What form and significance does the ancient Maritime Silk Road and the Modern Western Luhai New Channel have in their respective times? What is the same difference between the two?

Lin Yongxin: Both are born of the development needs of the times. The ancient Maritime Silk Road came from the coast of China, passed the Central South Peninsula and the South China Sea, through the Indian Ocean, entered the Red Sea, and arrived in East Africa and Europe. In addition to the trade between silk, porcelain and tea, it also spreads China's national craftsmanship and Confucianism and Taoism. It also brings folk culture and ideas along the line to China to promote mutual learning and mutual learning of different civilizations.

In the new historical period and the new international landscape, the Western Land and Sea New Channel formed through infrastructure construction to unblock trade and investment, which not only promotes the development and opening up of western China, but also allows Chinese and ASEAN countries to realize humanistic exchanges and people's hearts, promote civilization, and promote civilization. Mutuality and collision.

Both of them have economic and cultural significance in their respective times. The Western Land -China New Channel is not only a channel for commercial trade development, but also bears the significance of achieving economic growth in the western underdeveloped regions, promoting the coordinated development of the East and West, and accelerating the realization of common prosperity. It will also promote the construction of the China -ASEAN destiny community. In comparison, the latter is more profound and significant.

The 18th China -ASEAN Expo and China -ASEAN Business and Investment Summit opened in Nanning, Guangxi. The theme of this East Expo is "Sharing new opportunities for new land and sea channels to build a community of destiny of China -ASEAN." China News Agency sent by Peng Huan

Reporter of China News Agency: The Western Luhai New Channel is stable and far away. What help will it help promote the economic recovery of the state and region in the region and improve the ecology of the industrial chain and stabilize international trade?

Lin Yongxin: Economic globalization, trade friction, epidemic impact, global currency looseness and other changes, causing increasing uncertainty in the international economic environment, drastic fluctuations in commodity prices and international shipping freight, the Ukrainian crisis on regional security situations It also brings a lot of influence. The controllability and security of the supply chain, as well as the safety and stability of the industrial chain, have become important issues.

The Western Luhai New Channel creates a diversified development opportunity for the industrial chain and supply chain. For example, through the construction of a cross -border trade supply chain headquarters center, the construction of the China -ASEAN commodity trading platform has effectively improved the matching of regional international logistics chains and industrial chains. At the same time, it also enhances the diversity of regional channel layout, which reduces the risk of being "stuck" to a certain extent.

Undoubtedly, the Western Luhai New Channel has promoted regional economic integration, providing more opportunities for the win -win development of all parties, and it is of great significance to promote the regional economy and even promote the recovery of the world economy. It provides greater markets and opportunities for regions along the route, promotes the regional economy towards the direction of more open, tolerance, inclusive, balanced, and sharing. It also provides important support for the industrial development and industrial transformation and upgrading of new market markets. In -depth integration of markets along the route provides opportunities to inject new vitality into the realization of the stable growth of the world economy.
