The reporter found that 21 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have clarified the growth rate of fixed asset investment this year, of which 13 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have a growth rate target of 8% to 10%. Many places have focused on "expanding effective investment" this year, including Henan, Sichuan, Anhui, Gansu, Heilongjiang and other places that have raised their annual investment growth targets. At the same time, under the background of "moderately advanced infrastructure construction", major infrastructure projects such as transportation, water conservancy, and new infrastructure have been promoted, which have been written into local government work reports.
Focus on expanding effective investment, and focus on transportation power in various places
On February 16, Jinan started construction of 11 transportation projects, and the start-up activities were held at the site of the Jinan Yellow River Highway Bridge expansion project on the G104 Jinglan Line. This is the first batch of construction projects in the first quarter. This year, Jinan City plans to implement 161 key transportation projects with a total investment of 465.4 billion yuan. It is expected to complete an investment of 66 billion yuan this year.
This is a microcosm of China's accelerated construction of a transportation powerhouse. The construction of transportation facilities is becoming the focus of this year's efforts to "expand effective investment" and "moderately advance infrastructure construction".
In the government work report, Shanghai proposed to actively expand effective investment, start the construction of rail transit lines such as the Shanghai Demonstration Zone Line and the first phase of Line 20, accelerate the construction of rail transit lines such as the Chongming Line and the Airport Link Line, and start the construction of the Shanghai-Chongqing-Rongjiang Railway along the Yangtze River. Shanghai section and other projects, promote the construction of important infrastructure such as the Pudong comprehensive transportation hub, the fourth phase of Pudong International Airport, the second phase of the Shanghai-Tongzhou Railway, the inland waterway of the Dalu Line, and other important infrastructure; Easy connection.
Guangdong proposes to carry out infrastructure investment moderately ahead of time, speed up the construction of a strong transportation province, and promote the construction of high-speed railways in Guangzhan, Guangshanshan, Shenjiang, Shenshan, Zhuzhao, Meilong, etc.; Renovate and upgrade bridges; speed up the construction of airport clusters and port clusters; speed up the construction of the "Greater Bay Area on Rails"; promote the connection of high-speed rail, intercity and other rail transit projects with the Macao Light Rail.
The reporter found that in the work reports of the governments of 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, most of the regions focused a lot on promoting investment in transportation infrastructure and building a modern comprehensive transportation system. For example, Sichuan proposed to speed up the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle in an all-round way; Shandong Province fully launched the "seven networks" action for infrastructure; Chongqing built a "metropolitan area on the track"; , enter and exit Xinjiang quickly”, and solidly carry out pilot projects for the construction of a national transportation powerhouse.
Focus on water conservancy construction and improve disaster prevention capabilities
Last year, many places in China suffered from extreme heavy rainfall one after another, causing floods. This year, the layout and improvement of the construction of water conservancy facilities and the restoration and improvement of flood control and disaster relief projects have been included in many government work reports.
Among them, Henan, which was severely affected by the disaster, will speed up the post-disaster recovery and reconstruction as one of the ten key tasks this year. The provincial government work report proposes to fully complete the reconstruction of rural collapsed houses, speed up housing construction in centralized resettlement areas, and simultaneously build supporting infrastructure and public service facilities to ensure all relocations before the end of the year; Major water conservancy projects with an investment of 247.1 billion yuan.
Shanxi proposed to implement the flood control capacity improvement project in the Fen River Basin, start a number of comprehensive management projects for main and tributaries, complete 245 flood-damaged reservoir engineering facilities and river embankments before the flood season. Danger removal and reinforcement project for dams, and 50 new check dam reinforcement projects were started. The main trunk line of the Central Yellow River Diversion Project has been tested for water, and the construction of supporting projects in cities and counties along the line has been promoted. Speed up the construction of the Longhuakou water transfer project.
As a coastal province, Zhejiang proposes to implement a number of major infrastructure projects. According to the requirements of moderately advanced layout, water conservancy and disaster prevention and mitigation are also included in the key focus areas. In addition, Hubei proposed to promote the construction of major projects such as Nianpanshan, Dujiatai, and Huayang River, and started construction of projects such as diverting the river to fill Han, the second phase of northern Hubei, and the Yaojiaping water conservancy project; Construction of large-scale reservoirs such as Fengshan and Guanyin, and construction of a number of key water source projects such as Huatanzi; Guangxi proposes to speed up water conservancy projects such as Datangxia Water Control Project Irrigation Area, Tuoying Reservoir and Irrigation Area, Longyun Irrigation Area, Baise Reservoir Irrigation Area, and Xijiang Main Stream Management building.
Actively deploy "new infrastructure", and "calculate the east and count the west" has become a hot spot in the west
In the 2022 government work report, all localities have clarified the focus and direction of this year's "new infrastructure" efforts.
For example, in this year’s government report, Beijing proposed to strengthen the construction of new infrastructure such as computing power algorithm platforms and focus on launching 20 major application scenarios; Anhui clarified the development goals of moderately advancing infrastructure investment and implementing the “New Infrastructure Plus” action; Zhejiang It is proposed to deepen the "No. 1 Project" of the digital economy and expand and strengthen industries such as digital security, integrated circuits, intelligent computing and intelligent photovoltaics.
It is worth noting that recently, four departments including the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued a notice agreeing to start the construction of national computing power hubs in 8 places including Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Chengdu-Chongqing, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu, and Ningxia. Node, the "East Number and West Calculation" project was officially launched. Promoting the implementation of the "East and West" project has also been written into the government work reports of Gansu, Ningxia, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places.
For example, Sichuan proposed to implement the national project of “East Number and West Calculation”, started the construction of a provincial big data resource center, and built a Tianfu data center cluster; Ningxia proposed to build a high-level national integrated computing network Ningxia hub, and expand 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, etc. Application scenarios, cultivate 1,000 cloud-based enterprises and 13 service industry clusters.
Zheng Weimin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that the west has abundant land and power resources, building a data center to calculate and store data will have more advantages, and it will also help to achieve the "dual carbon" goal.
