Four Strong Cards for Henan's Development
During his inspection of Henan in May 2014, Xi Jinping urged the province to play its "four cards" well with a view to accelerating the transformation of the economic growth model and improving the overall quality and competitiveness of the economy. The "four cards" refer to optimizing and upgrading the industrial structure by developing advantageous industries, promoting innovation- driven development by building an independent innovation system, fostering new development strengths by enhancing basic capabilities, and advancing people-centered new urbanization. In this process, Henan needs to address issues of immediate concern to the people, such as education, employment, social security, and medical and health care, so that the people will enjoy a better life as the province expands its space for development.
Xi's remarks on the "four cards" provide effective strategic guidance to Henan as they target the prominent problems and key issues in its development and match its reality. To play these four cards well will support the province in implementing the new development philosophy, deepening the supply-side structural reform, and promoting high-quality development. The province has endeavored to turn its strengths into a sustained driving force for healthy and rapid socioeconomic development.
At present, Henan is focusing on high-quality manufacturing development, propelling the green transformation of traditional industries, expanding and upgrading leading industries, and cultivating and strengthening emerging ones. Its equipment manufacturing and food-making industries are producing an output value of one trillion yuan, AI and digital economy are generating new vitality, and industrial structure has made a historic change from being dominated by secondary industry to by tertiary industry. While taking technological innovation as the primary driving force, the province is seeing the Zhengzhou-Luoyang-Xinxiang National Innovation Demonstration Zone playing a leading role, the National Bio-breeding Innovation Center and the National Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Innovation Center under construction, and the National Supercomputing Center in Zhengzhou coming into operation upon completion. This has added a stronger impetus to local development. Henan is working to build a logistics hub connecting Chinese and foreign markets and linking China's eastern, central and western regions. It is also building a modern comprehensive and multi-dimensional transportation hub and future- oriented, new-type infrastructure. This will further benefit its logistics industry that is already one of the best in China. The province is also quickening its pace to build a people- centered modern urban system focusing on the Central Plains cities and featuring coordinated development of large, medium-sized and small cities as well as small towns.
Henan is taking steps in an array of key industries, including equipment manufacturing, green food, new materials, electronic information, energy conservation and environmental protection, modern textiles, green building materials, auto-making, biomedicine, and modern chemical industry. It is expected that by 2025, the province's basic industrial capacity and industrial chain modernization will lead the country, with several industrial clusters with an annual output value exceeding one trillion yuan, a number of emerging industrial clusters with an annual output value exceeding 100 billion yuan, and a group of enterprises with an annual output value exceeding 10 billion yuan.
