中国实施西部大开发战略举世瞩目 ,机遇和挑战同时并存。因此 ,很有必要认真研究和思考当前以及今后一个时期开发西部所面临的若干宏观环境 ,以利于采取正确的应对措施。特别是要注意宁愿将困难想得更多一些 ,这样应对方案选择的余地也就更多一些 ,做到从最差处着眼 ,向最好处努力 ,这样才能牢牢掌握西部开发的主动权。 China has made remarkable achievements in implementing the strategy of large-scale development of the western region. Both opportunities and challenges coexist. Therefore, it is very necessary to seriously study and reflect on the macroeconomic conditions facing the development of the western region at present and in the coming period so as to facilitate the correct response. In particular, we should pay attention to those who would prefer to think more about the difficulties so that there will be more room for coping with options. We should work from the worst point toward the best so that we can firmly grasp the initiative of developing the western region.
