Development Areas

Development areas are economic and technological development zones, bonded areas, new- and high-tech industrial development zones, national tourist resorts, and other designated zones set up within the jurisdiction of cities, at the approval of the State Council and the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, in which preferential state policies are implemented.

These areas are windows on China's opening to the outside world, key centers to attract foreign investment, and powerhouses to boost the regional economy. They have become important growth poles in China's economy and modern industrial cluster regions. They have the fastest growth, attract the most foreign investment, offer the best investment environment, and develop the most advanced technologies.

The goals of the development areas include increasing their functional strengths and becoming leaders in new industrialization, demonstration areas with high-standard business environment, cluster centers for widespread innovation and entrepreneurship, and pioneers in open economy and institutional innovation. They aim to foster new driving forces for economic growth through supply-side structural reforms.

National-level development areas such as economic and technological development zones, new- and high-tech industrial development zones, and special customs regulation zones are expected to play an exemplary role in leading advanced manufacturing, strategic emerging industries, and process trade and in meeting international standards, in order to build high-quality industrial parks that can compete on the global stage and create park brands with international influence.

Provincial-level economic development zones, industrial parks, and new- and high-tech industrial parks rely on regional strengths to pool factors of production, improve the business environment to international standards, and develop dominant industries, with extended industrial chains and complete supplementary facilities, in order to grow into regional growth poles and drive the upgrading of the local economic structure.

開發(fā)區(qū)

開發(fā)區(qū)，即由國務(wù)院和省、自治區(qū)、直轄市人民政府批準(zhǔn)在城市規(guī)劃區(qū)內(nèi)設(shè)立的經(jīng)濟(jì)技術(shù)開發(fā)區(qū)、保稅區(qū)、高新技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)開發(fā)區(qū)、國家旅游度假區(qū)等實行國家特定優(yōu)惠政策的各類開發(fā)區(qū)。開發(fā)區(qū)被視為中國對外開放的窗口、吸引外資的主要區(qū)域以及發(fā)展區(qū)域經(jīng)濟(jì)的引擎。自誕生以來，開發(fā)區(qū)已成為中國經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展最快、吸引外資最多、投資環(huán)境最優(yōu)、技術(shù)水平最高的現(xiàn)代化產(chǎn)業(yè)集聚園區(qū)，成為中國經(jīng)濟(jì)重要的增長極。

開發(fā)區(qū)建設(shè)發(fā)展的目標(biāo)是，增強(qiáng)功能優(yōu)勢，把各類開發(fā)區(qū)建設(shè)成為新型工業(yè)化發(fā)展的引領(lǐng)區(qū)、高水平營商環(huán)境的示范區(qū)、大眾創(chuàng)業(yè)萬眾創(chuàng)新的集聚區(qū)、開放型經(jīng)濟(jì)和體制創(chuàng)新的先行區(qū)，推進(jìn)供給側(cè)結(jié)構(gòu)性改革，形成經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的新動力。經(jīng)濟(jì)技術(shù)開發(fā)區(qū)、高新技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)開發(fā)區(qū)、海關(guān)特殊監(jiān)管區(qū)域等國家級開發(fā)區(qū)發(fā)揮示范引領(lǐng)作用，突出先進(jìn)制造業(yè)、戰(zhàn)略性新興產(chǎn)業(yè)、加工貿(mào)易等產(chǎn)業(yè)特色，主動對接國際通行規(guī)則，建設(shè)具有國際競爭力的高水平園區(qū)，打造具有國際影響力的園區(qū)品牌。經(jīng)濟(jì)開發(fā)區(qū)、工業(yè)園區(qū)、高新技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)園區(qū)等省級開發(fā)區(qū)依托區(qū)域資源優(yōu)勢，推動產(chǎn)業(yè)要素集聚，提升營商環(huán)境國際化水平，向主導(dǎo)產(chǎn)業(yè)明確、延伸產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈條、綜合配套完備的方向發(fā)展，成為區(qū)域經(jīng)濟(jì)增長極，帶動區(qū)域經(jīng)濟(jì)結(jié)構(gòu)優(yōu)化升級。
