金观平：发动县域经济高质量发展引擎

Group 1 - The central economic work conference emphasizes the importance of promoting urbanization centered around county towns and comprehensive rural revitalization to drive high-quality development of county economies [1] - Counties occupy approximately 90% of China's land area and contribute nearly 40% to the national economic scale with about 52% of the population [1] - There are significant disparities among counties in terms of development foundation and industrial characteristics, with many facing issues like single industrial structures and insufficient development momentum [1] Group 2 - High-quality development of county economies requires moving beyond homogeneous competition and leveraging local resources and industrial foundations to explore differentiated development paths [2] - Integration of agriculture with deep processing and cultural tourism is suggested as a way to enhance county economies, with examples like Jiangsu Kunshan actively integrating into the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration [2] - Urban-rural integration is essential for modernization, necessitating coordinated efforts in industrial development, public services, and breaking down the urban-rural dual structure [2] Group 3 - Activating dormant resources and markets in counties is crucial for releasing development potential, which can be achieved through institutional reforms and maximizing resource value [3] - Transforming old factories into comprehensive commercial service centers or logistics hubs is one example of how to revitalize underutilized assets [3] - The approach to promoting high-quality county economic development should be gradual and tailored to local conditions, providing solid support for urban-rural integration and regional coordinated development [3]
