2004年被视为东北振兴元年。这一年,中央政府推行振兴东北等老工业基地振兴战略,试图通过政策倾斜及财税支持,推动这个“共和国长子”的经济复苏。去年东北三省的国内生产总值达到15000余亿元,同比增长12.3%;东北地区规模以上工业企业共完成增加值近达5000亿元,较上年增长近两? 2004 was considered the first year of rejuvenation of the Northeast. This year, the Central Government implemented the strategy of rejuvenating northeast China’s old industrial bases and tried to promote the economic recovery of the “eldest son of the Republic” through policy preferences and fiscal and tax support. Last year, the GDP of the three northeastern provinces reached more than 1.5 trillion yuan, an increase of 12.3% over the same period of last year. The added value of industrial enterprises above designated size in the Northeast amounted to nearly 500 billion yuan, nearly two more than the previous year.
