近年来,在东部、西部和东北三大区域政策的挤压下,中部地区陷入了一个国家区域政策的“塌陷区”。在2004年底中央经济工作会议上,“促进中部地区崛起”首次被列为2005年中国经济发展的重点之一。日前,商务部部长薄熙来在安徽主持召开“中部崛起”商务工作座谈会时,明确表示,中部地区要实现崛起,在封闭的环境中求发展是不可能的,必须进一步扩大对外开放。 In recent years, under the squeeze of the three regional policies of the eastern, western and northeastern provinces, the central region has plunged into a “subsidence area” of a national regional policy. At the central economic work conference at the end of 2004, “promoting the rise of the central region” was listed for the first time as one of the focuses of China’s economic development in 2005. Recently, when Minister of Commerce Bo Xilai hosted a forum on business promotion of “Central China” held in Anhui, he made it clear that it is impossible for the central region to achieve its rise and seek development in a closed environment. It is necessary to further expand its opening to the outside world.
