20世纪80年代,路桥先于义乌成为全国著名的小商品集散地。30年后,义乌发展成全球最大的日用消费品国际交易平台,经济总量和市场交易规模分别是路桥的1.9倍和2.7倍。比较后发现,区域经济国际化程度存在较大差距是两地发展规模悬殊的主要原因之一,而政府在推进区域经济国际化过程中发挥了至关重要的作用。 In the 1980s, Luqiao took the lead in Yiwu as the famous commodity distribution center in China. Thirty years later, Yiwu developed into the world’s largest international trading platform for daily consumer goods. The total economic output and market transactions were 1.9 times and 2.7 times that of Luqiao respectively. After comparison, it is found that there is a big gap between the degree of internationalization of regional economy and the disparity of development scale between the two places. The government plays a crucial role in promoting the internationalization of regional economy.
