Yunnan’s Golden Opportunity: How Favorable Time, Location, and People Are Revolutionizing Industrial Transfer
Yunnan News Observation: Yunnan Takes on Industrial Transfer with Favorable Time, Location, and People
On September 8, the 2024 China Industrial Transfer and Development Matchmaking Event (Yunnan) opened in Kunming. Wang Yubo, deputy secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and governor, made a promotional speech at the opening and signing ceremony, elaborating that “the transfer of industries to Yunnan and other western regions has the right time, location and people. The time has come, the momentum has been formed and its prosperity is just around the corner.”
Good Timing
The development of industrial transfer has received high attention from General Secretary Xi Jinping and the Party Central Committee, has the support of a series of major national policies, and has the coordinated efforts of national ministries and commissions, provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities and enterprises. It can be said that “the best time is now.” By investing and starting a business in Yunnan and moving in the same direction as the national strategy, the road will surely become wider and wider.
As the main province to undertake the gradual transfer of industries, the state has tailored a series of important policies with high gold content and wide benefits for Yunnan. Recently, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the “Opinions on Optimizing the Regional Opening-up Layout and Expanding High-level Opening-up in the New Era”, which gave strong support to Yunnan in terms of channel construction, park development, industrial cooperation and other aspects. Investing and starting a business in Yunnan is highly consistent with the policy orientation, and your business will surely become more and more prosperous.
Dedicated Location
The driving force behind industrial transfer is mainly the comprehensive regional advantages. Compared with the eastern region, Yunnan has advantages in mineral resources, green electricity, biology, and labor resources; compared with neighboring countries, Yunnan has advantages such as complete infrastructure, stable factor guarantee, and complete industrial supporting facilities.
Rich in natural resources. The exploitable hydropower, geothermal and solar energy resources are ranked second in the country. The reserves of nine minerals, including lead, zinc, tin and phosphorus, are ranked first in the country, and the reserves of 36 kinds of minerals are ranked in the top three in the country. The types of vertebrates, higher plants and Chinese medicinal materials resources account for more than half of the country’s total.
The location advantage is outstanding. Backed by a strong domestic market of 1.4 billion people, it connects the international markets of South Asia and Southeast Asia with 2.4 billion people. The “golden line” effect of the China-Laos Railway continues to expand, and the ”Shanghai-Yunnan-Lancang-Mekong Line” and “Guangdong-Yunnan-Lancang-Mekong Line” have greatly shortened the transportation time. There are 28 ports, and more than 10,000 enterprises in various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities import and export goods from Yunnan ports.
Gaining People’s Support
In recent years, the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have implemented the three-year action plan to create a first-class business environment, held regular discussions and exchanges with private enterprises, promoted the “sit-and-receive complaints” service by department and bureau directors, and completed 10 practical things to benefit enterprises every year, continuously polishing the business environment brand of “Yunnan Efficiency, Yunnan Service, Yunnan Integrity”, and achieved very good results.
We will continue to optimize government services, promote “one-stop” offline services, “one-stop service” for online services, and “first-line response” for corporate demands, improve the regular communication mechanism between government and enterprises, and achieve an online service rate of 98% for government services. We will sort out and announce two batches of policies to benefit and strengthen enterprises, totaling 205 items, so that enterprises can “run less errands” or “no errands” at all. Many companies have reflected that it is now very convenient to do business.
With the right time, place and people, it is the “best time” to share the “opportunity called Yunnan”, work together to do a good job in industrial transfer, and make greater contributions to maintaining the resilience and security of the national industrial chain and supply chain.
