"Greater Shanghai Far East brilliant glory of the future"
- About the 2010 World Expo will trigger knock-on effects
LU Yi-country pending the outcome of the bid to host a very low-key, even on the beach is surprisingly quiet. Allah Shanghai people seem to be an over-hasty and ill-prepared into the hectic, ushered in the bid to host the 2010 World Expo. However, the stands at a historical point of view, the Greater Shanghai has already provided for well enough psychologically prepared and will be trying to regain her past as "the Far East first city" status, while the brilliant, and the world to share her future glory!
Across two centuries, China's "Tale of Two Cities" (bold subhead)
Objectively speaking, the difficulty of Shanghai World Expo application should be significantly less than Beijing's bid, but this will not affect the more did not impede the success to the Shanghai World Expo application brings a wonderful feeling. Clearly, Beijing and Shanghai, have dreams, no doubt have benefited from the strong over the past decade of China's comprehensive national strength and international situation in the Peter jumped eliminate this long, of course, there are both significant progress in its inside. Is not difficult to imagine that nine years ago, the Beijing Olympic Games, and if every body is also quite good now, not what's domestic economic development and the evolution of international political situation, then it naturally will not be lost to the difference between the two votes in Australia Sydney, thus avoiding the need to wait until the 21st century resurgence of a long-cherished award. The number of competitors in the bidding and competitive edge, Beijing may also be more convincing victory. In fact, in this unprecedented scale, Shin Bark-fought battle, the real competitive cities only in Shanghai and Moscow both a cosmopolitan city. But in the December 3 this day, the cheers from the beach is almost overshadowed Russian President Vladimir Putin in Beijing, the voice is an indisputable fact. Moscow, in the event of a terrorist kidnapping incident alarming momentum after the fall i.e., Yeosu, South Korea has been able to timely fill the gap left by Moscow followed by Shanghai, can be attributed to South Koreans traditionally excellent public relations skills, but the strength of comprehensive national strength and the city is still is the decisive factor.
Nevertheless, Shanghai Far East, this once high-flying city for the charm of the world is still irresistible. After the success of Beijing and Shanghai, have brought about far-reaching and significant impact, it should be of a thousand years. An elegant on the outside but inclusive, but a conservative, restrained atmosphere, Zhang Yang, Shanghai and Beijing are clearly two very different state of mind and temperament of different cities. By the same token, Shanghai and Beijing in China's future development process undertaken by the mission and its role is different and even the different interests of the. It can be predicted that, in the possession of the World Expo and the Olympic Games that two "pie", the future development of Shanghai and Beijing will be more room for imagination and dig extension. And within the next decade, the world is more concerned that a focus is, respectively, as China's economic center and political center of Shanghai and Beijing between the two major cities in China on how the interaction will give the 21st century with China to a change in what kind of startling. Overseas media have therefore issued a "Chinese fire wheel tread 2 fly forward," the praise, but both look forward to another but each is entrusted questions of the meaning of the profound implication is much food for thought. In recent years, based on observation of the people of Shanghai, even the vast majority of observers were unanimous that "Shanghai is one for everyone living, working and living city." This may indicate Shanghai will be duty-bound, without a doubt in the economic sphere, as a more positive and active in the role. Moreover, from an economic point of view itself, the Expo will feature a comprehensive benefits and boost the already inferior to the Olympic Games.
For people who remember the big Shanghai, and Beijing healthy competition and interaction between, maybe except that it reproduce the historical glory, to achieve a historic leap vital first step. Future of Shanghai to have choices, dreams and glory, of course, more than a World Expo. But the Expo is a wonderful beginning and an excellent stage for Shanghai's future will be Haoxiliantai.
Pull the mainland Chinese economy, "locomotive" (bold subhead)
China's reform and opening up of a very long period of time, Guangdong has led China to assume rapid economic growth of the "locomotive" role, but the beginning of the 20th century, mid-and late 90's, the old Canton come to feel powerless, and good in the new Shanghai started in a timely manner followed by the sky. This time Shin Bark After the success of the new century, Shanghai became China's economic "locomotive" of the situation, has been more clearly unshakable. An irresistible trend is that, in the new round of competition in urban management, with Shanghai as the core of the Yangtze River Delta city group, has been gradually catching up in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and the Pearl River Delta city group, headed by. In fact, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places of rapid economic development momentum has also been fairly optimistic people, but their geographical location and the location advantage is clearly not as good as both Guangdong and Shanghai. Even if the statue is based on the capital, won the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, but also temporarily unable to take up China's economy, "leading" role, at best, only "growth annually for the national economy 0.3 percentage points" only. According to reliable data show that the World Expo 2010 Shanghai China's national economy for the next eight years, driven by continued growth in strength, of course, more than that of the.
Old Chinese saying goes, "do not look back to open bow arrows." If the trend is too early and taking advantage of Guangdong and for Beijing, the Chinese economy, "Jiang Gong," an increasingly tense power point at both ends of hair, while the adjacent coastal areas, the highest in Shanghai on both sides of the Sulu region and the Zhejiang and Fujian Guangdong, Beijing and Tianjin Hong Kong regions, have long been accumulated over the years a certain degree of energy ready to go on the wings, now more people will invest in the eyes of the Yangtze River to the sea, take a look at Shanghai, "Arrow" skill and role in the end how much. It is true that living in the Yangtze River in central and western provinces and cities in the Mainland may take some time, What, then eventually became irrefutably strong support given to Shanghai's "shaft." In other words, Shanghai driven features for the inland areas, as well as inland areas support given to the role of Shanghai, should be complementary and even complement each other. People have enough reasons, both a good investment environment and decent human quality in Shanghai, to play well in the future China's economy, "leading" role of high hopes: The Three Gorges Project will be fully we see completed the Yangtze River, that in the event because the pull of Shanghai in the future within a decade become a famous "Golden Waterway", it would be very worth the wait and looking forward to a great event, it means that recycling one for the country with thousands of well-being of the people has brought great blessing of the Three Gorges Project. China's west development strategy and an unprecedented major initiatives, will be injected into a strong potential for a huge shot in the arm, and China's economic take-off in the 21st century with the Chinese people full of great rejuvenation in the new millennium, laying a solid foundation.
Shanghai World Expo application two days after the success of the 12-month 5, the Ninth Guangdong Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee and the panel discussion "on the economic performance in Guangdong Province in 2002 and 2003 economic development objectives envisaged in the preliminary report." Attending a Standing Committee members, in order to set up questions with an expression of the anxiety out of his mind: "Beijing's successful bid to host the 2008 Olympics, Shanghai's successful bid to host the World Expo 2010, the Guangdong how to do?" This is really interesting scene, the past " Canton boss "has really not wait to have a sense of crisis. However, before the old wide sense of urgency, may also be beyond mere verbal shouting numerous just now Beijing Olympic Games, Shanghai World Expo application to have succeeded, and finally to the Cantonese one of the most immediate and most direct stimulation: opportunities for the future of South China economic circle will be located? And Guangzhou, Shenzhen, neighboring Hong Kong's economy since the Asian financial turmoil has always been slack heads probably have the same thoughts and feelings. With the clear division of labor in Shanghai Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, possess different skills and different modes of economic development of Guangdong around the long-standing division of labor is not fine economic structure, investment has become a trend repeated comparisons, resulting in almost a vicious circle, but it now has become the fetters of the release of more Great potential negative factors. Inland areas of cheap labor, once so that various processing and hand-crafted artisan joint ventures have sprung up in Guangdong, but they generally lack access to "post-processing era" needs a much-needed technical content and the Hi-Tech Factor (In this context, development of distinctly different backgrounds, Shenzhen is an exception). Other hand, due to the area in Shanghai Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as a result, the result of the person, step by step to build a model of economic development for the camp, with a view to constantly and actively cope with the current situation in the future political and economic changes (such as a substantial influx of Taiwanese investment, as well as China's accession to WTO, etc.), No doubt a more forward-looking and imagination, and in attracting high-tech industries is even more superior. Near Shanghai, the economic activities of "Sunan three-way" - Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, three of the relevant parties, as early as the success of the Shanghai World Expo application prior to bluntly pointed out that the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai is not only an opportunity, but also they opportunities. After all, Shanghai's economic and southern Jiangsu's economy has owned complex and inextricably linked. With the Department, "Taihu Lake Economic Circle" in many cities in Zhejiang Province, but also knows.
The siren song of the face of Beijing and Shanghai to Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shenzhen as the center city of South China economic circle, is not without danger of desolation is certainly understandable, and to indeed have to re-start, the second departure of the need for recycling. As for recycling, is naturally a matter of opinion, on who you ask Shu matter, the parties shall work to seriously consider and carefully assessed. Beijing Olympics and Shanghai World Expo application would help if the success of the South's economic future sobering the effect of restructuring, it not a blessing. However, the big Shanghai "indisputable temporary length, seizing the day to be someday," the pattern and magnanimity, and her eventual success, of course, far more than that ah! She wanted not only past and present, as well as the extraordinary foreseeable future ... ...
Restore the "Far East will be first," the glory and honor (bold subhead)
Shanghai has a any city, at least in other domestic cities can not match temperament, which is remarkably superior she underlines the honor of "foreign Mei rustic" and Whatever You Want. Shanghai from 1843, its early days, and finally formed a "Welcome to Wikipedia, handling five continents", "Chinese and foreign traditions, East meets West" is her unique culture. And into the new century, into the new millennium in Shanghai, in the modern, international, fashion and other indicators of composite index in China and throughout Asia are second to none among their peers in the forefront. The 20th century, four decades on behalf of the romantic, dream-like Shanghai, and even a lot of foreigners are fascinated whom is still talked about by strange people. But basically, before the Opium War in 1840 in Shanghai, at home and abroad, or Jie Jie anonymous. However, since modern dynasties, Shanghai has has gone through three major periods of reform and opening up. And three times of reform and opening, it is everything to the rapid development of Shanghai as well as take off a golden period.
As the first Opium War in 1840, defeated the Qing government in August 1842 was forced to sign the humiliating "Treaty of Nanking", the provisions of Shanghai Port has been implemented from the 1843 open door to foreign trade. Shanghai after its inception, the Western countries businessmen, adventurers, prospectors who flocked into the room this is the first time in Shanghai to achieve a historic breakthrough in reform and opening up the real sense of the word. Only 30 years, Shanghai's import and export value of tariffs and the entry and exit the total number of vessels in both the first in the country, China's foreign trade center turned to Shanghai from Guangzhou. Careful analysis of this 30-year peak, that is, toward the late Qing dynasty Huiguangfanzhao of fifteen years, "Ham with Restoration" period (1860-1875), which, when Shanghai's economic success has been a great degree of attention. This is Shanghai, a "pioneering development", the first 30 years, a matter of how much aftertaste of unspeakable TSU's Shanghai become the world look at China as a new window.
To the end of the Qing period, around 1911, when the 1911 Revolution in full swing, it so happened one of the great changes of the world new channels, Shanghai has once again come forward to stand on the very center of the stage of history at the forefront of reform and opening up. Over the next 30 years, the revolution will be both the party, the business tycoon, rivers and lakes hero, or even kleptocrats clowns, can find their own "heroes can be useless." After another round of Western European and American new baptism and domestic elites of our nation's best to work hard after the 20th century, begun to take two to three decades on behalf of the international metropolis of Shanghai's size, just like has become China's political, economic, cultural, Arts and Sports Center. This boom continued until the four decades of extreme generation of anti-Japanese war, and thus laid the Shanghai at that time as "the Far East will be first," the solid position of strength and glory. This is Shanghai to achieve "explosive leaps" in the second 30 years, is to let people be so soul-stirring hard to describe. Needless to say, in Shanghai Fenghua Marie has been a long stay in the heart and beauty of the world's reverie time, although now to a large extent can only be said to be right here waiting as remembered. However, in the near future, the greater Shanghai's "Dream Days" still can "Xirizhonglai."
Rather regret is that there is always the glory of history when the broken chain. A flood of anti-Japanese war, the KMT and infighting, as well as numerous after the founding of the social mass movement, are so battered, gaunt Shanghai shaky effort, coupled with the dilapidated urban landscape, the heavy state-owned army dwindling international reputation Allah gradually become powerless to change things on the beach "is no longer hosting the Games." In a half-century of silence among Shanghai has landed in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore and other Asian cities, the back into an indisputable fact. Nineties till the 20th century (exactly speaking should be the only really started in 1992), it is a new wave of China's reform and opening up the land when the surging tide, Comrade Xiaoping "A year a changed appearance, three different under" Under the slogan of a positive appeal, coupled with a strong central government preferential policies to support, and finally to once hesitating to move forward even hesitant in Shanghai, to re-summon the courage to highlight the theme of sailing to catch up to seize the initiative has been in Guangdong. Shanghai's industrial past, to lay a solid foundation and good human qualities, making Shanghai the pace of advance go far especially strong and fast. The service sector as the main body of the tertiary industry, but also gave strong support for a strong Shanghai once again to create a graceful and majestic appearance of the beach. Fortune 500, major financial institutions and multinational groups, as well as Taiwanese enterprises have rushed into the room a "ten-mile ocean market," said the Shanghai Bund, subsequently resulting almost regain its past prosperity and the grace of.
And in this decade later in 2002, the bid to host the 2010 World Expo was finally ripe to Whispering Shanghai to Shanghai to the "revolutionary transformation" of the third "30 years" buried paved the way for a very imaginative, and for the Chinese economy "aircraft carrier" to create a potential infinite sway. Difficult to imagine such a triumph in the current situation were in another 20 years, Shanghai will be a major what kind of Shanghai! One obvious fact is that, with Shanghai as the core of the Yangtze River Delta city group (a total of 15 large and small cities), has been almost certain to bring international public opinion as one of the world's six major cities. In 2001, the national GDP (gross domestic product mainland) top ten cities in the Yangtze River Delta, exclusive of its four (respectively ranked first, six, eight, ten, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi), solid ride on the Chinese regional economy in the "big boss" position. Currently the Yangtze River Delta, 90,000 square kilometers of land has a population of 70 million, the total wealth created by the national GDP, 20%, up to 200 billion dollars. From the level of urbanization and economic strength, China's economy the strongest in 35 cities, there are 10 located in the Yangtze River Delta, the national comprehensive strength hundred counties, the region also accounts for half.
Indeed, the unprecedented scale of urban construction in a city can become very large, strong economic strength can make a city it is very powerful, but all this is not enough to create a "great city." As a hotbed of Shanghai culture and the onset, the Shanghai, the existing cultural heritage, should go to efforts to pursue her past traditions and strengths, and on this basis, the interpretation of the new acts. Do not forget the second in Shanghai for 30 years, that is, four decades on behalf of the 20th century, Shanghai, their cultural level of development and economic prosperity can be described as complementary exist side by side, giving future generations has left many unforgettable memories. Of course, one has sufficient reason to believe that Shanghai in the new historical period must be able to create a new Shanghai-style culture, nature is not only beautiful scenery of the past, people familiar with the impression. In fact, far more than the 2010 World Expo is a huge economic arena, but also a global arts and customs of various nationalities converged at this intersection of cultural arena, when Shanghai's diversity, internationalization and fashion style, will also be more prominent day with vitality, attractiveness and competitiveness.
Generally believed that an important international city "Adult Ceremony" among other things, the Olympic Games, and now the United States, efforts are being undertaken in New York that is evidenced. In addition to Tokyo, Seoul and Beijing, which has three cities and the forthcoming Olympic Games, at least for now see what an Asian city, you can not ignore the threat of Shanghai's future prospects of the bid. Personal view that the Olympic movement to contribute to Shanghai as the most appropriate time should be around 2020 or 2032 bid to host the 2028 Summer Olympic Games, as the Asian Olympic Games held in three time were 1964, 1988 and 2008. Of course, if the momentum of the future development of Shanghai amazing enough, and be able to "Touching the World", then this desire and demand in Shanghai is also implemented can be considered in advance, for example, once the Americans twice in 12 years hosted the Summer Olympic Games ( 1984 and 1996). Shanghai, once a successful Olympics, then then on she will no doubt be regarded as a world-class super-giants of the perfect international city, its "Far East, the first city" status will be even more firmly bound to shake.
Shanghai-Taiwan exchanges and to promote cross-strait relations "bridgehead" (bold subhead)
If there is a lot of what factors may affect the Shanghai phased implementation of a bright future, it is that at least for now, there seems to point chaos is not clear, is less clear how the move toward cross-strait relations.
Looking back on the history of modern China since the picture, both in the political sphere or the economic sphere, Shanghai is China's development process in which one can not be ignored or even very important "bridgehead." Today, Shanghai has in turn have a new historical mission, that is, she can not avoid to have to take up the promotion of Shanghai-Taiwan relations and cross-strait exchanges, "bridgehead" role. Bid to host the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai will be a success, this situation highlights the more obvious, apparent and urgent. In this regard, Shanghai may seem a bit uneasy and the lack of sufficient self-confidence. However, one undeniable fact is that, to date, 25 million of Taiwanese business people active in various business areas of Shanghai, and most have been determined to settle in Shanghai, the mainland to take root. The vast majority of these Taiwanese from Taipei, northern Taiwan, because in their view, Shanghai's investment environment and quality of life, as well as humanistic quality, have been as good as or better than Taiwan in Taipei. In Taiwan, Taipei and Kaohsiung city streets, on the "money in Shanghai", "settled in Shanghai," "taste Shanghai" sort of a variety of books, numerous voluminous. Even some luck to capture business opportunities in the Taiwanese business people come back with a book about Shanghai's investment environment and quality of life, but earn a substantial sum of additional income, described as "lost east corner, Shouzhisangyu" in "Tsutsumiuchi loss Diwai up" from time to time in Taiwan, up and down pass to mouth with approbation. Thus, Shanghai and from Shanghai led Yangtze River Delta region in the minds of the charm of the people of Taiwan and the temptation is almost irresistible, investment in the mainland has become Taiwan's first choice. Use the words of the people of Taiwan is "Shanghai popularity on a Roll," "unstoppable Jesus"!
Shanghai, Taipei Vice Mayor Zhou Muyao two places, and Pai Hsiu-hsiung, in the past two years has been to achieve mutual exchange of visits, the two sides interact in good shape, but in economic and trade cooperation is no substantial progress, largely because of the Taiwan authorities cross-strait policy, and no substantive breakthrough, binding of the two places higher and deeper level of communication and cooperation. The success of the Shanghai World Expo application four days after the December 7, to an overwhelming majority the opportunity to win re-election four years, Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou, has long been keen to work to improve cross-strait relations, especially between Shanghai and Taiwan exchange activities at all levels. Is estimated that after the success of the Shanghai World Expo application, Ma Ying-jeou between Shanghai and Taiwan will be further deep-seated economic and cultural exchanges, to show greater enthusiasm and more interest. In fact, the high-tech electronics industry is well developed in the Taipei, Shanghai's economic structure is becoming more rational and diversified development of the successful transformation of great interest, because in a sense, the Taipei has increasingly felt great development to the greater Shanghai it brings a "threat." For example, a very obvious example is that many well-known multinational companies the Asia-Pacific business headquarters, which is gradually or other parts of Taiwan from Taipei to Shanghai. And Taipei, the city's planning and management, traffic control, as well as municipal departments at all levels of the digital transformation, too, deserves a good reference to study in Shanghai.
However, limited by the real situation and the restrictions on cross-strait policy, Shanghai and Taipei, the two heads of a Government within the next few years, the exchange of visits, I am afraid that is unlikely. But must not be overlooked is that the mainland has a background in Taipei City Mayor Mr. Ma Yingjiu (Hengshan, Hunan native, born in 1950 in Hong Kong), has been the island's media and public opinion generally regarded as potential future leaders of the Taiwan region. Ma Ying-jeou has repeatedly expressed in public, as well as all levels of city government in charge of his own officials, was visiting Shanghai on the subjective expectations of the wishes of goodwill and support happy to see the attitude, of course, the premise that the Taiwan authorities, cross-strait policy become more positive and flexible. Therefore, this objective factors seem to matter to the future Shanghai exchange and interaction between China and Taiwan has brought a lot of opportunities and expectations can be worthy of the space of imagination. How they will benefit a larger multi-factor to seek mutual benefit and help in achieving more strides to promote cross-strait relations, the full realization of "three links" win-win goal of narrowing the communication will be a high degree of cross-strait challenge the leaders and the governments of Shanghai and Taiwan Department of macro patterns and political wisdom.
Taiwan's representatives is currently being developed by Taiwanese charter flights during the Spring Festival program details return to Taiwan, Shanghai and Taiwan is expected to take a flight on the eve of the Lunar New Year direct Taipei, Macau, although the middle may have to route through reduced pause, leading to "direct" eventually evolve into a "song flight", but this is the process of cross-strait relations so far are very encouraging step, be regarded as a comprehensive cross-strait "three links" an important prelude to, rather the value of treasure. So, after the Spring Festival, is facing due to the weak economy, economy plus ever Erzhi people dissatisfied with the heavy pressure of Taiwan, etc., depending on the "direct" effect on how, and then officially opened the "three links" is not impossible , quite eagerly awaited. If they choose once the successful implementation of "three links", Shanghai and Taipei, the interaction between the steps must be greatly accelerated, both in economy and trade, culture, education, sports, art, etc. active and effective exchanges and cooperation, it will also fast-closer cross-strait relations distance with its traditions, and most likely be staged in the early 21st century have been given a great historical meaning of the "Chinese Tale of Two Cities." In such a situation, under favorable conditions and excellent, there is no doubt that you can have high hopes that, until the opening of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and 2010 Shanghai World Expo will be held, then the exchange between Shanghai and Taiwan, as well as cross-strait situation, the interaction between , should be able to reach an unprecedented height and level.
Therefore, it is also sufficient reason to believe that this is expected to vigorously promote Shanghai Shanghai-Taiwan exchanges and cross-strait relations, "bridgehead", but also should be able to have more opportunities and space history, and work hard to build for the future across the Taiwan Strait is a eager eager's "unity of the bridge." Between Shanghai and Taiwan would help if they can be expected in the future positive interaction among the virtuous, able to bring about the development of cross-strait relations a historic breakthrough, whether it is significant progress on a technical level, or a substantial breakthrough in the history, will be the largest of Shanghai's future Glory lies!
