From Sichuan to Chongqing, there are two major roads that are extending——
A road is at your feet, Jiangyun, high-speed, railway… The traffic line is bringing these two places closer. The other, in various plans, plans, and texts, is a road of regional coordinated development that comes out little by little between the two places.
Optimize the business environment
Solve problems collaboratively
“In the past, Sichuan and Chongqing had different policies and regulations, which caused some inconvenience to business operations.” When investing in Sichuan, You Hongtao, chairman of Chongqing Watson Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., had trouble with the cost of business transactions.
Linked by mountains and rivers, with similar living customs, frequent trade and personnel exchanges, Sichuan and Chongqing have a very close relationship. In recent years, the two places have continued to coordinate their efforts in decentralizing control, optimizing the business environment, etc. However, some pain points and difficulties that are strongly reflected by market entities still exist.
In July 2020, the two places signed the “Cooperation Agreement on Coordinating the Construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Double-City Economic Circle” in Chongqing, clarifying that they will work together in many aspects to contribute to the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Double-City Economic Circle.
On July 1, 2021, the “Regulations on Optimizing the Business Environment of Sichuan Province” and the “Regulations on Optimizing the Business Environment of Chongqing” will be implemented simultaneously. This became a successful attempt by Sichuan and Chongqing to explore regional coordinated planning.
“Collaborative planning can help Sichuan and Chongqing enterprises build an unimpeded platform and effectively solve common problems in regional development.” said Li Li, deputy director of the Legal Work Committee of the Standing Committee of the Chongqing Municipal People’s Congress.
In the view of Huang Zhigang, director of the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the Sichuan Provincial People’s Congress, Sichuan-Chongqing’s collaborative planning is a lever for overcoming geographical restrictions and breaking through the dual-city barriers. “It is a good thing for both Sichuan and Chongqing.”
Two ways to advance
Realize linkage and docking
How to coordinate planning? After sorting out, Sichuan and Chongqing agreed that the coordination of work progress is first required.
Taking the optimization of the business environment as an example, at the beginning of the signing of the “Cooperation Agreement on Coordinating the Construction of the Two-City Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region”, the progress of policies to optimize the business environment in Sichuan and Chongqing were inconsistent-Sichuan Province, draft It has entered the deliberation stage of relevant departments; in Chongqing City, this topic is still a preliminary project planned for that year.
“Fortunately, we already have a solid research foundation.” said Yi Wenjun, deputy director of the Laws and Regulations Department of the Chongqing Development and Reform Commission. Previously, the Chongqing Development and Reform Commission had organized many visits and surveys, and classified and summarized the problems reflected by market entities to form a list. . With the aid of a large amount of preliminary information, Chongqing City has smoothly accelerated the progress of the work, and the pace of work in the two places has gradually become the same.
There are so many things in the work, in which areas can the policies be coordinated and to what extent can the planning be maximized? After in-depth discussions, the staff in Sichuan and Chongqing decided to adopt the method of “linkage coordination + homogeneous coordination”-matters that require cooperation and linkage between the two parties to be completed, and relevant provisions are made in the document. This is called “linkage collaboration”. “; For the common problems faced by the two places, similar expressions are adopted in their respective documents, which is called “homogeneous coordination.”
“Clearly follow the national strategy of building a two-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region to promote linkage and coordination.” Yi Wenjun said. The two parties agreed to focus on the areas of cooperation in adjacent areas, unification of government service standards, public legal services, coordination of diversified dispute resolution mechanisms, law enforcement linkages, and judicial coordination.
Matters that need to be completed jointly by both parties, such as coordinating the construction of Chengdu-Chongqing Science and Technology Innovation Center, supporting the communication and mutual recognition of industry associations in Chengdu-Chongqing region, and advancing the establishment of the “12345” government service hotline linkage mechanism in Chengdu-Chongqing region, are all related to the two places. This is reflected in the document.
In terms of “homogeneous coordination”, such as common issues in the business environment such as business establishment, enterprise relocation, and corporate financing, the two places have coordinated to make similar regulations and realize the organic connection of important systems.
A wider field of cooperation
Communicate more closely
Now, with the further optimization of the business environment, You Hongtao’s company has established a cooperative relationship with a university in Sichuan, ushering in more room for development.
“With similar policies and business environment, we have more confidence in investing in Sichuan.” You Hongtao said. Collaborative planning has accelerated the integration of enterprises in Sichuan and Chongqing, and more enterprises will benefit from it in the future.
In addition to strengthening coordination in the formulation of policies, plans, and programs, the two places are also continuously strengthening cooperation in law enforcement and other fields.
A few days ago, an inspection to combat illegal fishing was carried out in the Guanyin Lake Scenic Area, Suining City, Sichuan Province. In addition to law enforcement officers from Suining City, there are also law enforcement officers from Tongnan District, Chongqing City who participated in law enforcement. The Suitong Integrated Agricultural Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Cooperative Cooperation was launched, and the two places will focus on joint law enforcement in areas such as the “ten-year ban on arrests” and the quality and safety of agricultural products in the Yangtze River Basin.
The Sichuan Provincial Higher Court and the Chongqing Higher Court signed a framework agreement and cooperation agreements on intellectual property rights, enforcement work, and cross-domain litigation services; the Sichuan Provincial Procuratorate and the Chongqing Municipal Procuratorate established a framework for cooperation and cooperation, and the two parties established financial security maintenance, private enterprise protection, and ecological Special working groups on environmental protection, intellectual property protection, etc.; Sichuan Provincial Public Security Department and Chongqing Public Security Bureau established an integrated police cooperation mechanism to deepen government services and pragmatic cooperation in combating crimes; Sichuan Provincial Department of Justice and Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Justice signed an agreement Strategic cooperation agreements, promote the implementation of 45 key regional cooperation projects, and coordinate the creation of the “four communities” of regional rule of law, regulatory security, legal services, and rule of law talents…In many areas, the two places have become more and more cooperative.
According to reports, the two places will continue to maintain close communication on the formulation and promulgation of major policies and documents, and coordinate to help the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing double-city economic circle in a stable and long-term development.
