Southeast Network News, December 21, 40 years of the road blue ray, 40 years of spring and autumn fruit.
Today, the celebration meeting for the 40th anniversary of the construction of the Xiamen Special Economic Zone was grandly held on Ludao. For 40 years, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the State Council, the Provincial Party Committee, and the Provincial Government, the brave, persevering, hard-working people of Xiamen, riding the wave of reform and opening up, used their own hands to transform Xiamen from a small island on the front line of coastal defense into a small island. A high-quality, high-value modern international city with a booming economy, close foreign exchanges, and people living and working in peace and contentment. They vigorously promoted the SAR spirit of daring to try, being the first, and immersing themselves in hard work. They lived up to their missions and stood up to the forefront. They explored a development path with Chinese characteristics and Xiamen characteristics in the process of socialist modernization. The song promotes the high-quality development and transcendence of the Xiamen movement in all aspects.
For 40 years of ups and downs, and 40 years of spring and rain, Xiamen has always been breaking through the waves in the direction guided by General Secretary Xi Jinping. Xiamen is an important breeding place, germination place, and practice place of Xi Jinping’s socialist thoughts with Chinese characteristics in the new era. General Secretary Xi Jinping worked here for three full years, creating very precious ideological wealth, spiritual wealth and practical results. After working in the province, General Secretary Xi Jinping made major strategies for Xiamen such as “upgrading the island and developing across the island.” Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited Xiamen to attend the ninth meeting of BRICS leaders and personally announced the establishment of an innovation base for the BRICS New Industrial Revolution partnership in Xiamen, giving important instructions to Xiamen’s work on many occasions. At every important stage and key node of the construction and development of the Xiamen Special Economic Zone, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally drew blueprints and guided the direction. This is the root of Xiamen’s tremendous development achievements and strongly demonstrates Xi Jinping’s thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. The light of truth and the mighty power of practice.
40 years of magnificent waves, 40 years of hard work. The 11th Provincial Party Congress clarified Fujian’s goals, development ideas, and specific tasks for the next five years and a longer period of time. We must hold high the banner and keep in mind the entrustment, bravely shoulder the mission and move forward, vigorously promote the spirit and valuable experience of the special zone, insist on continuous reform and openness, and promote reform and opening up from a higher starting point.
Idea is the forerunner of action, and we must unswervingly implement the new development concept and promote high-quality development. Speeding up the construction of a modern economic system is the key to achieving high-quality development. The focus of economic development should be placed on the real economy, the digital economy, marine economy, green economy, and cultural tourism economy should be enlarged, strengthened and optimized, and economic quality, efficiency, and core competitiveness should be improved. Innovation is the first driving force leading development. It is necessary to take scientific and technological self-reliance as a strategic support, deepen the construction of the Fuxiaquan National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone and a high-level innovation platform system, implement the strategy of strengthening the province with talents in the new era, and create a good development environment conducive to innovation and entrepreneurship.
Reform and opening up are the unchanging “soul” of special economic zones, and we must use greater courage to promote reform and opening up from a higher starting point. Reform is always on the way. We must be good at using reform thinking and reform methods, lose no time, and steadily deepen reforms in important areas and key links, actively carry out pioneering and differentiated reform exploration, and launch a batch of reform measures with Fujian characteristics and national influence. Openness leads to progress, and closure leads to backwardness. Fujian is one of the first provinces to open to the outside world. It is necessary to consolidate and expand the first-mover advantage, deepen the construction of the core area of the Maritime Silk Road, promote the expansion of the free trade pilot zone and improve the quality, and build a new highland with a higher level and stronger radiation effect. Demonstrate greater deeds in serving and integrating into the new development pattern.
Fujian and Taiwan have the same roots, the same ancestors, and blood. They must give full play to their special advantages with Taiwan and make greater strides in exploring the new path of cross-strait integration and development. Promote financing with “tong”. Promote everything that should be done, promote unimpeded economic and trade cooperation, infrastructure connectivity, energy and resource interoperability, and common industry standards, improve the Fujian-Taiwan industrial cooperation mechanism, and promote the integration of Taiwanese enterprises into the new development pattern. Promote financing with “benefit”. We will benefit Taiwan and benefit the people, improve policies and systems that guarantee the well-being of Taiwan compatriots and enjoy equal treatment, promote social security and the sharing of public resources in Fujian and Taiwan, and guide Taiwan compatriots to integrate into the construction of a new Fujian. Promote fusion with “emotion”. Deepen people-to-people exchanges, in-depth implementation of the family relationship continuation project, continue to organize important cross-strait exchange activities, jointly inherit and develop the excellent traditional Chinese culture, build consensus and increase recognition.
The tidal heron flies hard, and the wind is rising. All great achievements are the result of continuous struggle, and all great undertakings are advancing in the future. We must take the opportunity of celebrating the 40th anniversary of the construction of the Xiamen Special Economic Zone, always keep in mind the “two establishments”, resolutely implement the “two maintenances”, unswervingly implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, and earnestly make the special economic zone better and speed up The construction of the new Fujian in the new development stage strives to write a chapter in the comprehensive construction of Fujian as a modern socialist country.
