中部六省是中国重要的产粮基地和能源基地,是连接东西、贯通南北的交通枢纽。改革开放后,中部地区经济取得了巨大的发展,但与东部地区的差距越来越大,与西部的差距也在缩小。在此背景下,2004年国家提出中部崛起的政策,对实现中部地区经济社会又快又好发展,对于形成东中西互动、优势互补、相互促进、协调发展的新格局具有重大而深远的意义。 The six central provinces in Central China are important grain-producing bases and energy bases in China and are transportation hubs that connect things to the north and south. After the reform and opening up, the economy in the central region has made tremendous growth. However, the gap with the eastern region is getting bigger and bigger and the gap with the western region is also narrowing. Against this background, the policy put forward by the central government in 2004 for the rise of Central China is of great and far-reaching significance for the realization of the rapid and sound economic and social development in the Central Region and for the formation of a new pattern of interaction between East and West and with each other’s advantages, mutual promotion, and coordinated development.
