| The history of industrial change in the Huaihe River Basin in Anhui is a true reflection of industrialization, reflecting people under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and local governments since1949. By studying this history, we can see clearly the achievements in industrial construction and the shortcomings in the Huaihe River Basin in Anhui. From studying this history period, we can see clearly of the achievements in industrial construction. Also, we can learn some experiences from the problems and shortages, thereby to speed up the economic development in this area.Industrial development in this area has a certain resource base, but due to the late start, slow development, its starting point is low. Before the establishment of new China, industry in this area be a certain condition of staring without development, traditional handicraft industry as the main part, and machine production marked in modern industry is lagged. From1949to1978, the central and local governments in the region created a batch of modern industrial and mining enterprises, which laid a foundation for industrial construction in this area. From1949to1957, the socialist economic system basically was established in the district. In early1950s, many industrial enterprises were moved from the coastal areas and the Soviet Union had been gave China a lot of industrial assistance for this area. Therefore, the industrial construction in Huaihe River Basin made great progress in this period. From1965, the Three Line Construction made the area of Lu’an, Jinzhai and Huoshan a good chance to develop the industry, and the landscape has been changed. During the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, industry in Huaihe River Basin in Anhui even suffered in the twists and turns.From1978, the reform of state-owned industrial enterprises began. Same as the other part of our country, the reform of state-owned enterprises is roughly in this area have experienced several stages such as delegate benefit, establish modern enterprise system and so on. After reform and opening up, in the non-public sectors of the industrial enterprises, private economy and the development of township enterprises in the industry has formed a variety pattern of ownership coexist. The development of the regional industrial development has certain advantages, such as rich natural resources, the transportation is convenient, but at the same time, it should be notice that the industry foundation is weak, frequently natural disasters and long term turmoil of society. Although in the founding of new China in the early industry got a certain development. Due to a long period of time, however, this area was not the key of the national and industrial development in Anhui province, the resulting policy support is very limited, and therefore even if it is backward while compared with the Huaihe River outside the province, not to mention, comparing with the coastal developed areas. Fuyang pattern, one of the three major development model of township enterprises, was once brilliant, which was tied with the Wenzhou mode, Suzhou mode.Although in the founding of new China industry in the area got a certain development, the overall level is not very high. And The characteristics of the industrial development in this area show the following aspects:1. Industrialization level is uneven. Overall, compared with other areas in the province, the level of industry in this area lagged industrialization process. Parts of Huainan is higher than the overall standards, some other places such as Bozhou, Fuyang are even at before industrialization stage;2. Industrial development lacks of money. Since the founding of new China, industrial construction investment of the state and the local governments in the region is very limited. Implement the process of reform and opening up and introduction of foreign investment in this area is far behind the coastal region and the other regions in Anhui province. In recent years, local governments want to strengthen the introduction of foreign investment and the cooperation with the central enterprises, but the overall effect is not satisfied;3. Private industrial economy is weak. At the beginning of the founding of new China, the state encourages the development of private economy in order to satisfy the masses of the people’s life. With the completion of socialist transformation, the private economy in this area almost disappeared. After the reform and open policy, private economy in this area had a brief boom, but eventually to decline;4. Most factories produce the primary industrial products. Since1949, the state investment in the region mainly focused on the water conservancy construction and farmland leveling, specific to the development of Huainan coal mine industrial construction, thus in addition to coal, electric power, food processing, and other relative industrial development have being good. The rest, such as steel, machinery and other industries are relatively backward;5.Linked to the Yangtze River delta economic zone closely. Since modern times, Shanghai economic circle in the development of industry leading role is especially striking. After the founding of new China, the Yangtze River delta economic zone including Shanghai has been actively involved in economic development of Anhui province including this area.Since the founding of new China, regional industrial development on the whole, has obtained certain achievement, in the preliminary to change the backward economic and social landscape. With the development of the industry, each of the industrial economic structure cities in this area has its own characteristics. Huainan and Huaibei has developed into the coal, electricity, chemical type of industrial base, Bengbu was mainly used for building materials, machinery, textile in the comprehensive industrial city and traffic hub, Fuyang and Suzhou industrial is given priority to with agricultural products processing, Bozhou herbs processing and brewing industry begun to take shape, the rest such as Chuzhou, Suzhou, Lu’an industrial development also has its own features. Industry promotes the development of the regional agriculture economy, progress of urbanization and education development, but industrial development has also given a relatively profound economic and social costs. One of the most prominent is the industrial development of the environment. |
