leading position of eastern coastal areas in opening up, help Anhui Province better
link the development of the central region with that of the Yangtze River Delta

region, and promote the development of Jiangxi Province and other regions as
experimental zones for an open inland economy.
We will give better play to the exemplary role of national-level new areas. We
will support underdeveloped areas, old revolutionary base areas, areas with large
ethnic minority populations, areas affected by ecological degradation,

resource-dependent areas, and old industrial cities in speeding up development.
We will intensify efforts to promote development in border areas to boost local
economies, raise local living standards, and ensure local stability. We will develop
the maritime economy, build high-standard innovation demonstration platforms,

and step up efforts to build China into a strong maritime country.

We will take solid measures to promote coordinated development in the
Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. We will take orderly steps to relieve Beijing of
functions nonessential to its role as the capital, build the Xiong’an New Area and

the administrative center of Beijing to a high standard, and speed up efforts to
develop the Binhai New Area in Tianjin and build Tianjin into an international
shipping center for northern China. We will ensure the region’s better coordination
and collaboration in eco-environmental improvement and pollution prevention

and treatment.
We will prioritize ecological conservation and green development in the
Yangtze Economic Belt region. We will push forward systematic, comprehensive
improvements in the region’s eco-environment and advance the “4+1” project for
curbing pollution from the chemical industry, ships, agricultural non-point sources,

and tailing sites and for treating urban sewage and waste. We will coordinate
efforts to improve the Yangtze River and its main tributaries, as well as major lakes,
reservoirs, wetlands, and shorelines in the region. We will strengthen biodiversity
protection and enforce the 10-year fishing ban in key waters of the Yangtze River

basin.
We will advance the development of major cooperation platforms, accelerate
innovative development, and increase market integration in the Guangdong-Hong
Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
We will carry out the implementation plan for the integrated development of

the Yangtze River Delta region during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. We will
