汶川大地震18年后，这个极重灾区要全力冲刺全国“百强县”

Core Viewpoint - The evolution of Mianzhu's industrial landscape reflects a transition from external support to self-sustaining growth and ultimately to industrial transformation, focusing on lithium battery materials as a strategic industry [1][9]. Group 1: Industrial Development - Mianzhu aims to establish a lithium salt production base with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons, including lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, lithium chloride, and lithium metal, with the first phase targeting 60,000 tons of lithium carbonate [1]. - The city has experienced a significant industrial transformation post the Wenchuan earthquake, shifting from traditional industries to a focus on lithium battery materials, positioning itself as a national strategic base for new energy battery materials [1][5]. - The local government plans to achieve a GDP exceeding 50 billion yuan by 2025, with an average annual growth rate of 7.5% during the 14th Five-Year Plan period [10][11]. Group 2: Economic Recovery and Resilience - Mianzhu was historically a strong economic county in Sichuan, but the Wenchuan earthquake caused severe economic and population losses, leading to a significant decline in its economic standing [3][4]. - The relocation of key industrial players like Dongfang Turbine Factory resulted in a loss of over 10,000 jobs and a disruption of the local industrial chain, exacerbating the economic impact on Mianzhu [4]. - The recovery strategy involved not just rebuilding but also restructuring the economy, focusing on high-value industries such as lithium battery materials, leveraging local resources [5][9]. Group 3: Industrial Upgrading and Innovation - Mianzhu is not only developing new industries but also upgrading traditional sectors, particularly in the phosphate mining industry, by focusing on high-end chemical products and establishing a circular economy [7]. - The city has seen significant investments in lithium projects, such as the Sichuan Energy Investment De'a Lithium Industry's 30,000-ton lithium salt project, which is expected to generate an annual output value of approximately 4.5 billion yuan [6]. - The local government is fostering innovation through technology incubators, with 74 companies currently incubated, aiming to enhance the industrial chain through innovation [8]. Group 4: Strategic Goals and Challenges - Mianzhu's government is committed to becoming one of the top 100 counties in China, with a focus on industrial strength, cultural tourism, and quality of life [10][11]. - The city is approaching a GDP of 50 billion yuan, with the competition for inclusion in the national top 100 counties typically requiring a threshold of around 70 billion yuan in the western region [11]. - Challenges include geographic disadvantages that may lead to talent and consumer outflow to larger cities, as well as the cyclical nature of the lithium and chemical materials industries, which could impact economic stability [12].
