Inner Mongolia Transformation Of Resource-based Industries And Upgrade Problem

Resource-oriented industry is the leading industry in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the pillar of rapid economic growth of Inner Mongolia, the main source of industrial profit of Inner Mongolia and manifests the regional image and influence. Over the past decade years Inner Mongolia's economic growth rate was much higher than the average growth rate of China by utilizing resource transformation and development. This phenomenon was called "Inner Mongolia phenomenon" by scholars. The fast growth was produced by subjective, objective and its own advantages and external opportunities. The most important reason is that Inner Mongolia integrated its own rich resource advantages with China's heavy industry development opportunity. The constantly increasing demand of energy and basic raw materials as well as the extraordinary growth of capital input provided huge market and developing opportunities. The fast development of resource-oriented industry laid a solid foundation for Inner Mongolia's economic growthHowever, the development of Inner Mongolia's resource-oriented industry is featured by "huge input, huge energy consumption, huge pollution, low efficiency", which is called "three huge, one low". In the process of further development, Inner Mongolia faces the contradiction between low added value and sustainable development, that between huge input, huge energy consumption and resource-conservation-oriented society, that between huge pollution and environmental protection in the area rich in resources, that between the single industrial structure and the sustainable development of regional economy. The upgrading and transformation of resource-oriented industry have impact on its own development and also the sustainable development of Inner Mongolia.In the face of the barriers of institutional factor, innovation mechanism and infrastructure, resource-oriented industry in Inner Mongolia should borrow international and domestic experience and lessons, adhering to the principle of biology, intensity, agglomeration, and branding, through upgrading and concentration of industry, upgrading of circular economy, innovation in industry circle, to achieve the transformation and upgrading of resource-oriented industry.Around the achievement of this goal, Inner Mongolia should strive to build innovation system, make technology drive innovation, provide foundation and driving force for industrial upgrading and transformation, formulate scientifically regional development and industrial development plan, adopt necessary policy ensuring system, foster supporting factors to provide good institutional environment for industrial upgrading and transformation, deepen opening-up, strengthen coordination with neighbor provinces and cities, adopt industrial transfer, utilize others'advantages to advance its own industrial upgrading and transformation, improve resource-oriented structure, give priority to the strategy of big group, encourage the development of medium and small companies, upgrade the levels and competitiveness of resource-oriented industry, upgrade equipment manufacturing industry and service industry so as to complement and promote the transformation and upgrading of resource-oriented industry.
