Core Viewpoint - The report highlights the significant achievements of the Yangtze River Economic Belt over the past decade in eight key areas, including ecological protection, transportation infrastructure, industrial transformation, urbanization, openness, regional coordination, high-quality development, and cultural heritage [1][2]. Group 1: Ecological Protection - The Yangtze River Economic Belt has made notable progress in ecological protection under the "coordinated protection and not large-scale development" strategy, with the water quality of the Yangtze River maintaining Class II for several consecutive years [1]. - Various provinces and cities along the river have implemented institutional frameworks and ecological compensation mechanisms to promote regional collaborative governance [1]. Group 2: Transportation Infrastructure - The construction of a comprehensive transportation corridor has been advanced, linking shipping centers such as Shanghai, Wuhan, and Chongqing, and promoting the coordinated development of railways, highways, aviation, and water transport [1]. - The China-Europe Railway Express and the Yangtze River Golden Waterway have achieved mutual support, enhancing the level of openness [2]. Group 3: Industrial Transformation - There has been a significant improvement in industrial transformation, with the roles of national independent innovation demonstration zones, economic and technological development zones, and high-tech industrial development zones being highlighted [1]. - The central and upper reaches of the Yangtze River have become important areas for industrial transfer, gradually perfecting a modern industrial system [1]. Group 4: Urbanization - New urbanization is progressing steadily, with an increasing trend of urban-rural integration, accelerated construction of urban clusters and characteristic towns, and an orderly process of urbanization for the agricultural transfer population [1][2]. Group 5: Openness and Regional Coordination - A new pattern of openness is becoming more prominent, with regions like Shanghai, Chongqing, and Sichuan promoting high-level openness through free trade pilot zones and comprehensive trials of open economic systems, significantly improving resource allocation efficiency [2]. - The regional coordination mechanism has been continuously optimized, with inter-provincial consultation and cooperation mechanisms established in the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, achieving substantial progress in ecological joint prevention and control, infrastructure connectivity, and industrial collaboration [2]. Group 6: High-Quality Development - The GDP share of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in the national economy has been continuously increasing, with significant agglomeration effects of high-tech enterprises and listed companies in the Yangtze River Delta region [2]. - Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Hubei have shown outstanding performance in high-quality development [2]. Group 7: Cultural Heritage - Initial achievements have been made in the protection and promotion of Yangtze culture, with steady progress in the construction of the Yangtze National Cultural Park, enhancing the trend of cultural and economic integration [2].
