Strategies For Achieving Economy Spurt In Central China

The six provinces including Shanxi, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan are located in the middle part of China, between 25 N and 40 N, 108 E and 119?E. Possessing 10.7 percent of national land, 28.1 percent of national population, these six inland provinces bring about 23 percent of national GDP, and occupy a very important role in Chinese territorial division of labour. Nevertheless, there are more difficulties in developing economy there due to lower development level, less favourable circumstances and factors. On the one had, with the help of the policy of reformation and opening, provinces in the eastern part of China make full use of their privilege of policy, so that their economy development is faster than that in provinces of central China, and what's more, the development gap is becoming wider and wider. On the other hand, with the central authorities' strategies of all-round development of west China, great increase in economy of provinces in western part of China will remain in a certain period of time. The traditional industrial bases in northeast China will also grasp the opportunities brought about by strategies of revitalizing northeast China so as to achieving acceleration in economy development. How to give full play to the comprehensive advantages of the provinces in central China so that they can accelerate their development in Chinese territorial economy under the new circumstances? This is an important task for us to study. In this thesis, the feasibility of achieving economy spurt has been investigated and analyred based on the status quo of economy development of the six provinces in central China and some suggestions have been made.
