New Ideas Lead a New Journey丨Zhejiang has Implemented the “Eight-Eight Strategy” for 20 Years and Started the First Exploration of Provincial Modernization
According to China Central Radio and Television’s Voice of China’s “News and Newspaper Summary,” the “Eight-Eight Strategy” was tailor-made for Zhejiang 20 years ago by then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee Xi Jinping after in-depth investigation and research and systematic thinking and planning. The comprehensive planning and top-level design of provincial development have guided Zhejiang to take the lead in exploring provincial modernization. Over the past 20 years, Zhejiang has unswervingly and deeply implemented the “Eight-Eight Strategy,” which has promoted systematic and holistic changes in the land of Zhejiang.
An electric company in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province has just applied for a financial award of 4.8 million yuan.
Han Yongjun, person in charge of the company: After launching the “one-click redemption” declaration system, our company only needs to fill out a simple form, fill it out and submit it in the morning, and the approval can be completed in the afternoon, and the funds can be in place the next day.
Huzhou’s “one-key exchange” policy for benefiting enterprises is one of many reform and innovation measures in various parts of the province since Zhejiang Province implemented the “No. 1 Reform Project” to optimize and upgrade the business environment this year. The first item of the “Eight-Eight Strategy” is to further develop Zhejiang’s system and mechanism advantages. Over the past 20 years, Zhejiang’s reform and innovation vitality has continued to be stimulated, and the promising government has been better integrated with the effective market. Major reforms such as “four lists and one network,” “maximum one visit,” digital reform, and business environment optimization and improvement are well-known throughout the country. The advantages continue to magnify.
In recent years, Yiwu has successfully attracted a number of cross-border e-commerce companies to build a cross-border e-commerce service center.
Zhang Jinyin, general manager of Yiwu, an international station of an e-commerce group: A place like Yiwu has a very big feature that it has a relatively large number of merchants, many start-up companies, and a very rich supply chain.
The “Eight-Eight Strategy” has made an important deployment of “further exerting the advantages of Zhejiang’s block-shaped characteristic industries, accelerating the construction of advanced manufacturing bases, and taking a new road to industrialization.” Over the past 20 years, Zhejiang has continuously deepened the “vacation of cages and replacement of birds” to promote resource elements to gather in high value-added industries. In recent years, industries such as new energy vehicles and high-end equipment have accelerated in Zhejiang, and the digital economy has developed rapidly.
Ye Jiansong, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economics and Information Technology: build an “industrial brain + future factory” and vigorously promote the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry. In 2022, Zhejiang’s digital economy will account for more than 50% of GDP.
Today’s Zhejiang has become a fertile ground for entrepreneurship and innovation, and a happy place for wealth creation.
Yucun Village, Anji, Zhejiang Province, has rolling green hills and meandering green waters. Deng Tingting, a tourist from Ningbo, came here admiringly.
Deng Tingting: I was pleasantly surprised to come here. The air is very fresh and the environment is very good.
Yucun is the birthplace of the idea that “lucid waters and green mountains are mountains of gold and silver.” The “Eight-Eight Strategy” proposes to create an ecological province and create a “green Zhejiang.”
In March 2020, when General Secretary Xi Jinping revisited Yucun, he said: The mountains and rivers are beautiful here, and there is no need for too much decoration. The development of “beautiful villages” is unique. In particular, there are new development concepts and they are on the right path. It is now playing a demonstration role across the country.
The concept of “Two Mountains” has spread from Yucun to the whole province. In 2019, Lishui was approved as the country’s first ecological product value realization mechanism pilot city.
Zhang Chungen, deputy director of the Lishui City Development and Reform Commission: Make ecological products measurable and accountable, realize the synchronous and coordinated development of GEP and GDP, the local economy has achieved high-quality development, and the lives of ordinary people have become more prosperous.
In 2019, Zhejiang became the first ecological province in the country, and the modern version of Fuchun Mountain Residence Map gradually appeared.
Yu Changmei, a villager in Xiaogucheng Village, Jingshan Town, Yuhang District, Hangzhou City: It has really changed drastically. We have become richer materially and spiritually.
In the past 20 years, the per capita GDP of Zhejiang Province has increased from 20,000 US dollars to 17,600 US dollars, an increase of nearly 8 times. Not only that, but today’s Zhejiang has become one of the provinces where people feel safest and have the highest judicial civilization index.
Wei Zhongqiang, executive deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee: In 2022, the satisfaction of the people in Zhejiang with their sense of security will reach 99.28%, which is 1.13 percentage points higher than the national average.
Zhejiang adheres to the “eight-eighth strategy” as the guide, works hard, walks in the forefront, and stands at the forefront, realizing the transformation from a small resource province to a large economic province, from a large foreign trade province to a strong open province, and from environmental improvement to a beautiful Zhejiang. A historic leap from an overall well-off society to a high-level comprehensive well-off society.
Yi Lianhong, Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee: We will continue to promote the “eight-eighth strategy” in depth and solidity, vigorously promote innovation, deepen reform, overcome difficulties, open up and improve, and play a leading role in promoting common prosperity and Chinese-style modernization.
