CCTV News:According to "China Water Conservancy" WeChat WeChat official account news, since September 22nd, influenced by the autumn rain in West China, there has been a continuous and strong rainfall process in the Hanjiang River Basin, with a cumulative area rainfall of 112mm, including 123mm above Danjiangkou Reservoir, and the rivers in the upper reaches of the Hanjiang River, such as Bahe River, Renhe River, Huangyanghe River and Blocked River, have successively experienced super-warning floods. At 20: 00 on September 29th, the No.1 flood in 2023 occurred in Hanjiang River. At 4 o’clock on September 30th, Danjiangkou Reservoir showed the maximum inflow of 16,400 cubic meters per second this year, corresponding outflow of 9,190 cubic meters per second, reservoir water level of 167.81 meters at 14 o’clock on October 2nd, inflow of 11,800 cubic meters per second and outflow of 8,170 cubic meters per second.

　　It is estimated that October 2— On the 5th, there will still be moderate to heavy rain in the Hanjiang River Basin, and there will be heavy rain in some areas, and the accumulated area rainfall will be 30 mm to 60 mm.. On October 6th, Danjiangkou Reservoir will have another inflow peak flow of about 15,000 cubic meters per second. The Huangzhuang-Hanchuan section of the middle and lower reaches of the Hanjiang River will exceed the police one after another on the 2nd, with the maximum exceeding range of 0.3m-0.5m, but it will be lower than the guaranteed water level.

　　The Ministry of Water Resources attaches great importance to the autumn flood prevention work of the Han River. Li Guoying, deputy commander of the National Defense General and Minister of Water Resources, requires a high degree of vigilance against the autumn flood, close monitoring of changes in rain, water and flood conditions, detailed implementation of various defense measures, and firm adherence to the safety bottom line of flood and drought disaster prevention. The Ministry of Water Resources insisted on daily rolling consultation and deployment, started the Class IV emergency response for flood prevention in the Hanjiang River, guided the Yangtze River Water Resources Commission to do a good job in dispatching Hanjiang Reservoir Groups such as Danjiangkou, Ankang and Pankou, and sent three expert groups and working groups to Hubei and Shaanxi provinces to guide the storm flood prevention and inspection of Danjiangkou Reservoir Area. Every day, in the form of "one province and one order", we urge and remind local governments to do a good job in monitoring and early warning, water project scheduling, inspection and defense. The Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission has successively issued blue warning for flood in the upper reaches of the Han River and yellow warning for flood in the middle and lower reaches, and adopted the methods of forecasting, pre-discharge and grading compensation to dispatch controlled reservoirs in the Han River basin, such as Danjiangkou, to intercept flood and cut off peaks, with a total flood storage capacity of 1.16 billion cubic meters, reducing the water level of main control stations in the middle and lower reaches of the Han River by 1-1.5 meters, of which seven dispatching orders have been issued continuously since September 27, dispatching Danjiangkou Reservoir with a flood storage capacity of 784 million cubic meters, with a peak cutting rate exceeding 40%, which is powerful

　　Hubei and Shaanxi provinces do their best to prevent floods in the Han River. The main responsible comrades of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government made arrangements for the autumn flood prevention work of the Hanjiang River, demanding that the flood control responsibility system be effectively implemented, especially the top leaders of the party and government should take the flood control work in their hands and personally grasp it. Hubei Provincial Department of Water Resources has repeatedly connected cities, counties and engineering management units along the Hanjiang River in the autumn flood season, and detailed the deployment of countermeasures; At 16: 00 on September 30th, the Class IV emergency response of flood prevention was started, and seven working groups were sent to the front line for guidance, and two expert groups and 19 experts were preset to be on standby at any time. A total of 850 people were arranged to patrol the embankment on the Hanjiang River. The Water Resources Department of Shaanxi Province started the Class IV emergency response of flood and drought disaster prevention in the whole province at 13: 00 on September 18th, and held a video conference of the whole province on September 28th to arrange the deployment of flood prevention work, and randomly checked the performance of the "three responsible persons" of not less than 10 reservoirs and 45 warping dams on the job every day, strengthened the patrol duty in areas prone to mountain torrents, and implemented the "Call for Response — Feedback "mechanism. At present, there are no reports of danger in the two provinces.

　　5.6%, higher than the average growth rate of Guangdong Province by 0.8 percentage points. In 2023, Zhongshan handed in a solid high-quality development report card.

　　Where is the solid embodiment? As an export-oriented city, Zhongshan withstood the pressure in the face of shrinking external demand.The growth rate of GDP (5.6%), industrial added value (6.1%) and industrial investment (47.3%) are all higher than the provincial average, which has taken a big step to reverse the development momentum.

　　High quality color geometry? In the past two years, Zhongshan has "clung to industrial investment", which has laid a solid foundation for structural optimization and kinetic energy conversion of manufacturing industry. Behind the high growth of industrial investment, in the past two years, Zhongshan has prepared more than 33,000 mu of land through "industrial reform" and the "number one project" of business environment reform, which has provided emboldened support for the manufacturing industry to take root and thrive.

　　Behind the change of data is the change of development stage and concept.For some time, Zhongshan has made great efforts to break the dilemma of limited resource elements and weakened comparative advantages with commendable strategic determination, and opened up a new situation of high-quality development of manufacturing industry with the confidence and determination of government and enterprises to work together for the economy.

　　Looking forward to 2024, the opening of the Shenzhen-China Passage is just around the corner, and the waves on the east bank of the Pearl River Estuary are surging and flapping towards Zhongshan. "This year’s Zhongshan, we must seize the historic opportunity that the Shenzhen-China Passage will be opened soon, take the initiative, and create a new situation of high-quality development in Zhongshan with reform and innovative thinking." On January 27th, Guo Wenhai, secretary of Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee, said at the city’s economic work conference.

　　Answering the construction of the first-class Bay Area and creating a new demonstration of integrated development, Zhongshan is catching up.

Strong support: continuous high growth of industrial investment.

　　The long-term economic development always follows scientific laws. In recent years, in the process of wave-like development and tortuous progress, Zhongshan has grasped the key elements of high-quality development and devoted itself to building its own competitive advantage.

　　Reflected in the economic data, in 2023, the growth rate of industrial investment in Zhongshan (47.3%) and industrial technological transformation investment (53.2%) was 25.1 and 30.8 percentage points higher than the average growth rate of the whole province, which not only reflected the continuous internal changes in Zhongshan’s factor endowment structure, but also reflected the scene of industrial upgrading in full swing.

　　Manufacturing accounts for half of Zhongshan’s economy — — In 2022, the added value of Zhongshan’s manufacturing industry reached 160.2 billion yuan, accounting for 44.1% of GDP, much higher than the provincial average of 34.1%. Over the years, the number of industrial enterprises in Zhongshan has always been the fifth in the province, which is a valuable asset in the development of Zhongshan manufacturing industry.

　　However, the road to industrial upgrading, Zhongshan did not go smoothly in the past. Since 2012, the total industrial investment and growth rate in Zhongshan have been weak for ten years. With the rising cost of factors, the traditional comparative advantage is weakened, and industrial upgrading is like castles in the air without the instigation of industrial investment.

　　For an industrial city, industrial investment plays an important role in high-quality economic development. In 2023, Zhongshan implemented the "Top-ranking Project" for the manufacturing industry, and comprehensively promoted the strengthening of work force to the manufacturing industry, the inclination of policies and measures to the manufacturing industry, and the concentration of resource elements to the manufacturing industry.

　　On the basis of 20.4% growth rate in 2022, industrial investment in Zhongshan will increase by 47.3% in 2023, ranking among the top in the province.

　　Focusing on industrial investment, Zhongshan’s investment structure has been continuously optimized: within a few years, the proportion of industrial investment in Zhongshan’s fixed assets investment has been less than 20% at one time, and it will be close to 40% by 2023.

　　This record-high quantitative change has a decisive impact on the qualitative change of industry. From the change of two dimensions, we can get a glimpse of Zhongshan’s high-quality development:

　　The first dimension lies in the effectiveness of the digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry.Since 2022, Zhongshan Municipal Finance has spent 5 billion yuan to fully support the digital and intelligent transformation of enterprises, which is rare in the country. In 2023, among the 450 key industrial projects in Zhongshan, there were 280 digital intelligent projects, accounting for over 70%. On this basis, in 2023, Zhongshan’s investment in industrial technological transformation increased by 53.2%, and it was in the forefront of the province in terms of the digital transformation rate of enterprises.

　　With the digital and intelligent transformation, "Zhongshan Goods" will be upgraded, and Zhongshan Manufacturing will accelerate to the higher end of the industrial chain division in the Bay Area.

　　The second dimension lies in the strength of attracting investment.In 2023, investment in Zhongshan reached a record high, with more than 500 contracted projects and a total investment of over 110 billion yuan, of which projects with an investment of over 1 billion yuan increased by over 60% year-on-year. The efficiency of the project from signing to construction is unprecedented: in 2023, the number of contracted rotary projects in the city exceeded 190, with a total investment of over 43 billion yuan, accounting for more than 50% of the total investment of investment projects that have been started in the city.

　　Driven by industrial investment, Zhongshan’s manufacturing industry has taken a steady and rhythmic step. In the long run, Zhongshan has a more ambitious goal to promote the manufacturing industry: to implement digital intelligent transformation and upgrading for three years, and strive to achieve full coverage of digital transformation of enterprises on the whole by 2026; At the same time, strive to exceed 100 billion yuan in industrial investment in 2025.

Have confidence: "for the government" helps "deep roots"

　　Another noteworthy data is that in 2023, the industrial added value of Zhongshan gauge increased by 6.1%, 1.7 percentage points higher than that of the whole province.

　　After a lapse of five years, the added value of the secondary industry in Zhongshan has once again exceeded 50% of GDP, and the manufacturing industry has achieved initial results, and the supporting role of the real economy has been significantly strengthened.

　　Why does Zhongshan walk so firmly on the road of manufacturing being the master? Behind the full promotion of industrial development, where is Zhongshan’s confidence? Answering the above two questions is an important logic for Zhongshan to promote reform and innovation in recent years:

　　The countdown to the opening of the Shenzhen-China Passage will write a new chapter in the integration and development of the east and west sides of the Pearl River Estuary. As a pathfinder for the integration and development of Greater Bay Area, Zhongshan should take the manufacturing industry as an important starting point to accelerate regional cooperation;

　　In the past two years, Zhongshan has launched a series of reform measures to help industrial progress with space expansion, to deepen reform to stimulate market vitality, and to support business entities with policy escort. The scope, degree and intensity of various reforms have reached the highest in the history of nearly ten years.

　　Forging a high-quality development carrier by breaking the bottleneck of land constitutes the foundation for promoting regional coordination space.In order to solve the land bottleneck of nearly 40% development intensity, Zhongshan has comprehensively implemented the transformation and upgrading of inefficient industrial parks in 23 towns and streets of the city, and has transformed over 33,000 mu of industrial land, more than the number of industrial land sold in Zhongshan in the past decade. The "industrial reform" has broken the space, bringing new breakthroughs in attracting new enterprises and local enterprises to increase capital and expand production.

　　Optimizing the government’s administrative efficiency with the reform of the business environment constitutes the emboldened spirit of exploring and integrating the development environment.Taking the business environment reform as the "number one project" of the reform to speed up the administrative efficiency, Zhongshan proposed to build one of the cities with the best business environment in Greater Bay Area. From the launch of "Walking Office" and "Running Office Right away", to the establishment of "Enterprise Service Line 1" and "7×24-hour" response mechanism, and then to the announcement of mobile phone number by "number one", Zhongshan declared to the whole society that business services are "always online".

　　Various reforms have provided solid support for the development of the industry step by step and helped the real economy to "take root"."Entrepreneurs are peach jellyfish and need a good business environment to survive." Zhu Cheng, chairman of Zhongke Fuhai (Zhongshan) Low Temperature Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. said, "The business environment in Zhongshan is getting better and better."

　　In 2023, there were two phenomena in the industrial development of Zhongshan: on the one hand, leading enterprises that once went out of Zhongshan returned one after another, including two giants, Jianhua Pipe Pile and Opal Lighting, which announced that they would place their South China base in Zhongshan; On the other hand, a group of top 500 enterprises in China, including Sanhua Holding Group and Zhongchuang Group, chose to enter Zhongshan at this time. Behind these two phenomena, the Zhongshan project reached a new speed: the signing of the Sanhua South Headquarters Base project invested and built by Sanhua Group was officially started only in the past two and a half months, and all 56 approval procedures were completed in only five and a half months for the tens of billions of new Maiqi projects.

　　In 2023, the output value of Zhongshan "4+6" and "New Ten Fleet" industrial clusters increased by 4.9%. With the help of the government, Zhongshan enterprises are regaining market competitiveness.

　　"The hard-won work results also show that our idea of grasping the economy is good and the method is right." Xiao Zhanxin, mayor of Zhongshan City, said at the city’s economic work conference that we should strengthen our confidence, maintain a good momentum, plan our economic work well this year, and strive to achieve a "good start".

Cohesion: government and enterprises work together to create a "new Zhongshan"

　　"The main line of the Shenzhen-China Passage runs through the whole line, and it takes only half an hour between Shenzhen and Zhongshan after it is opened to traffic this year." The vision of "Shenzhen, China and the same city" was clearly written in the 2024 Guangdong Provincial Government Work Report. In the face of historic opportunities, Zhongshan put forward the goal of doubling major economic indicators such as GDP and total industrial output value in 2035 and "recreating a new Zhongshan".

　　How far is it from the target? From the objective situation reflected by economic data, Zhongshan is not without pressure. For example, as an export-oriented city, influenced by the international situation, the total import and export value of Zhongshan decreased year-on-year in 2023, and many traditional industries are facing challenges.

　　Under the influence of unfavorable factors, Zhongshan is more resilient against the pressure. Among them, an important change is that the atmosphere of government and enterprises working together day and night to fight for the economy has been formed.

　　The change in the style of cadres is particularly intuitive.

　　At the end of October, 2023, an entrepreneur forum was held in Zhongshan, and many enterprises stood up and "praised" the services of the Zhongshan Party Committee and government, which was a great change from the entrepreneur forum that was "bitter" two years ago: from "Can you open ‘ Walking office ’ ‘ Do the office right away ’ " From the demand to the plan of "I decided to stay in Zhongshan and continue to increase capital and expand production", the same group of cadres and masses has a different look.

　　The enterprising attitude of entrepreneurs is even more commendable.

　　In 2023, the traditional industries in Zhongshan, represented by lighting, household appliances and clothing, will accelerate the transformation of high-end, intelligent and green, and continue to glow with new vitality. According to customs statistics, in 2023, the export of household appliances such as microwave ovens, air conditioners and refrigerators in Zhongshan increased by 16.3% year-on-year. "Made in Zhongshan" household appliances continue to be popular overseas, and 10 overseas markets such as Belarus, Luxembourg and Niger have been newly opened.

　　The "new three kinds" of emerging industries in Zhongshan, represented by new energy, medicine and new generation information technology, stand out with new technologies and new products and gain new competitive advantages. Mingyang Electric’s 2023 performance forecast net profit may exceed 90%. Kangfang Bio achieved its best performance since its establishment in the first half of the year, with a record high income.

　　The "old three samples" are full of new vitality, and the "new three samples" show new advantages. The transformation and upgrading of Zhongshan’s manufacturing industry has achieved positive results and gradually realized the transformation of competitive advantages in the industrial division of labor in the Bay Area.The investment in scientific and technological innovation has reached a new high, which has become the most intuitive embodiment of this transformation of competitive advantage.

　　According to the data disclosed at the end of 2023, in 2022, the investment in Zhongshan R&D (R&D for short) broke through the 10 billion mark with a growth rate of 24%, becoming the seventh city in the province to be promoted to the "10 billion legion", and the R&D expenditure accounted for the first increase in GDP in the province.

　　As the core index to measure the regional scientific and technological innovation ability, the R&D investment in Zhongshan ushered in a historic breakthrough, releasing a strong signal: the "first driving force" of scientific and technological innovation is stronger in Zhongshan, and innovation consciousness, innovation elements and innovation power are surging with unprecedented momentum. Zhongshan is changing from a "chaser" of industrial development to a "pioneer" of innovation and development.

　　The surging tide of the Pearl River is just like the enterprise that keeps going around the clock. In 2024, Zhongshan, presented on the industrial map of the Bay Area, will be a more competitive pathfinder for integrated development.
