Details are as follows:

At the first plenary meeting of the Hunan delegation held on March 3, the Hunan delegation proposed to set up the China (Hunan) Pilot Free Trade Zone in the name of the whole delegation, which was divided into three areas: Changsha, Yueyang and Chenzhou, and supported Hunan to carry out pilot projects with central characteristics.

On March 5th, Hunan Daily reporter interviewed Chen Wenhao, deputy to the National People's Congress and mayor of Changsha, Hu Zhongxiong, deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of Yueyang Municipal Committee, and Yi Pengfei, deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of Chenzhou Municipal Committee. They said that if Hunan is successfully approved as a free trade zone, the three cities will take the lead in making good use of the "opening dividend", releasing more "reform dividends" and enjoying greater "development dividends".

Changsha: Building a New Highland for Inland Opening

"The Hunan delegation proposed the establishment of the China (Hunan) Pilot Free Trade Zone in the form of a whole group proposal, which is a long-awaited event in Changsha." On March 5, Chen Wenhao said in an interview with reporters.

According to the proposal, the Changsha Team of Hunan Free Trade Zone mainly relies on national platforms such as development zones and comprehensive bonded zones, as well as ports such as high-speed rail and airports, and focuses on building advanced manufacturing centers, high-tech industrial bases and modern service centers connecting Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao with the central region. Chen Wenhao believes that Changsha has a foundation, conditions, strength and ability.

First, the radiation-driven ability is strong. Changsha Huanghua Airport ranked among the top 100 in the world as early as 20 12, and the passenger throughput and the number of inbound and outbound tourists ranked first in Central China in 20 16. The high-speed rail will meet in Changsha with the word "meter". The "two-hour traffic circle" has a radiation area of 6.5438+0.7 million square kilometers and a population of 75.5 million.

Second, the industrial advantages are outstanding. At present, Changsha has five national parks, including Changsha High-tech Zone, Changsha Economic Development Zone and Ningxiang Economic Development Zone, and has formed 600 billion industrial clusters, including cultural creativity, new materials, construction machinery, food, electronic information and tourism. Automobiles and spare parts, energy conservation and environmental protection will soon become a new 100 billion industrial cluster.

Third, the advantages of innovation are outstanding. Changsha has four national platforms, namely, two-oriented social experimental zone, independent innovation demonstration zone, Xiangjiang New District and "Made in China 2025" pilot demonstration urban agglomeration, and its innovation capacity ranks seventh among provincial capitals in China.

"If the Hunan Free Trade Zone is successfully approved, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Changsha." Chen Wenhao said that Changsha can give full play to its advantages of benchmarking against international standards, system innovation and trying first, integrate resources and agglomeration factors in a wider scope, and create a new highland for opening up inland areas serving the whole country and connecting the whole world.

Manufacturing industry is the main battlefield of Hunan's "innovation-led, open and rising". Chen Wenhao said that Changsha will speed up the construction of intelligent manufacturing service system, industrial chain and talent highland, implement "eight special actions" such as the construction of intelligent manufacturing demonstration park and the special action of intelligent manufacturing industry leading, and promote the manufacturing industry to take the lead in transforming and upgrading to high-end, intelligent and green.

"We must also fill in the' short board' of the modern service industry and make it a new growth' main engine' in Changsha." Chen Wenhao pointed out that it is necessary to vigorously develop producer services such as headquarters economy, modern logistics, building economy, industrial design and exhibition economy, and promote the extension of producer services to specialization and high-end value chain; At the same time, it is necessary to promote the transformation of life service industry to refinement and high quality, so that modern service industry can stimulate new vitality of the city.

Yueyang: Expanding Unique Port Advantages

"Yueyang, as the north gate of Hunan, is the only city in Hunan with the Yangtze River port, which has the advantage of connecting the river with the sea." On March 4th, Hu Zhongxiong said in an interview that if the China (Hunan) Pilot Free Trade Zone is established, Yueyang should undertake the mission of building a platform for international trade, shipping logistics and import and export.

According to the suggestion, Yueyang District mainly relies on Chenglingji Xingang District and Chenglingji Comprehensive Bonded Zone in the region, focusing on developing modern service industries such as shipping logistics and international trade and high-end manufacturing industries such as electronic information, high-end equipment manufacturing, new materials and satellites, and establishing a regional shipping logistics center in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River around strengthening the comprehensive service functions of ports and shipping.

In Hu Zhongxiong's view, once the China (Hunan) Pilot Free Trade Zone is established, Yueyang's unique port advantages will be further amplified, which will bring Yueyang four development opportunities.

First, increase Yueyang's economic aggregate and improve its economic structure. Yueyang's economic aggregate ranks second in the province, but there are still many shortcomings and poor structure. For example, the open economy is Yueyang's shortcoming, and foreign investment, foreign trade and foreign economic cooperation are also shortcomings. The free trade pilot zone will greatly promote Yueyang's opening to the outside world, expand the key indicators of the open economy, increase the total economic output, optimize the structure, and make the whole Yueyang economy "healthy", which is the greatest benefit of Yueyang's economic development.

Second, the establishment of a free trade pilot zone will help deepen relevant economic reforms and urge Yueyang to force reforms through opening up. To build a port platform connecting rivers and seas, it is necessary to implement one-stop customs declaration at Yueyang Port if the port wants to enter and exit in a big way, fast forward and exit quickly, and enter and exit optimally. Customs, inspection and quarantine departments and all departments serving foreign trade and economy should change their functions, simplify procedures, change the current situation of excessive permits and procedures, and make trade convenient and fast.

Third, it is conducive to giving play to Yueyang's strategic position in Hunan's opening up and rising and the important node role of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Yueyang District is an indispensable part of the Pilot Free Trade Zone. With the implementation of Hunan's opening and rising strategy, Yueyang's industrial position and strategic position in Hunan will become more and more important. In addition, with the establishment of the Pilot Free Trade Zone, Yueyang will play an increasingly prominent role as an important node of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, which will promote Yueyang to become a national regional central city.

Fourth, it is more convenient for ordinary people to shop and buy cheap foreign products. Free trade zones are full of low tariffs and zero tariffs. Yueyang people can buy goods from all over the world at their doorstep, which will also promote the development of cross-border e-commerce.

Chenzhou: Building the "bridgehead" of Hunan's opening and rising.

"The proposal of the whole delegation to include Chenzhou in the implementation scope of the China (Hunan) Pilot Free Trade Zone not only reflects the great importance attached by the provincial party Committee to the development of Chenzhou, but also plays a positive role in promoting the further opening up of Chenzhou." On the afternoon of March 4th, Yi Pengfei said in an interview with reporters.

Chenzhou is the "south gate" of Hunan. With the establishment of China (Hunan) Pilot Free Trade Zone, Chenzhou has unique location, platform and industrial advantages. "Chenzhou is not only a pilot zone for the transition of reform and opening up from the coast to the mainland, but also the first batch of key sites for the gradient transfer of processing trade in China, a pilot city for the province to undertake industrial transfer, and a national demonstration zone for industrial transfer in southern Hunan." Yi Pengfei said that before the reform and opening up, Chenzhou's awareness of openness and tolerance gradually increased. In recent years, with the strong support of the policy, Chenzhou adheres to the strategy of "industry leading and all-round development", pays close attention to park construction, industrial development and attracting investment, and constantly strengthens industrial cooperation with the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, forming a number of industrial clusters with comparative advantages, such as nonferrous metals, electronic information and equipment manufacturing. In addition, Chenzhou has established a comprehensive bonded zone on the basis of having a national high-tech zone and an export processing zone, and the platform for Chenzhou's opening to the outside world has been further strengthened, greatly enhancing the stamina of Chenzhou's economic development.

With a good foundation, how can Chenzhou seize the opportunity and make persistent efforts?

We will firmly implement the strategy of "innovation leads and opening leads", further improve the construction of open platforms, increase the efforts of enterprises to "go global" and attract investment, and continuously expand the degree of opening up. Yi Pengfei said that Chenzhou will further attract investment around key industries and advantageous industries, and vigorously introduce enterprises with deep processing resources, new industrial enterprises such as electronic information and advanced manufacturing, and modern service enterprises such as cultural tourism, old-age health, fine exhibitions and modern trade logistics, especially leading enterprises.
