The Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone in Fuzhou recently made a public appearance at the 13 China International Investment Fair, and released the 12 development preferential policy, which attracted great attention from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Chen Wenbo, county magistrate of Pingtan County and deputy director of the comprehensive experimental zone management committee, said: "The construction level of Pingtan comprehensive experimental zone will be better than that of Xiamen University. Prior to this, many core members of the Taiwan Competitiveness Forum, such as Professor Lin and others from National Taiwan University, who were regarded as economic think tanks, had visited Pingtan. Peng, Secretary-General of the Forum, then held a press conference to explain the inspection results. He believes that Pingtan Island is one of the areas with the greatest development potential in the economic zone on the west side of the Taiwan Strait. It is understood that since August, more than 200 inspection teams have landed in Pingtan Island, half of which are from Taiwan Province Province, including Rong Da Freight, Zhongxing Engineering Company and other institutions that have settled in Pingtan Logistics Park. Cross-strait political and economic circles and even the people are more concerned about the future "first special zone" of the mainland than ever before. According to authoritative sources, Pingtan Experimental Zone is the most "outpost" of Haixi District's initiative to move eastward, and it is also the first piece of "beef" served by Fujian Province after the State Council issued an opinion to support the development of Haixi. Experts who advocate the development of Taiwan Province, an outlying island, analyze that "a free port city with closed island management" will be a direction of Pingtan's future development. It is reported that the General Administration of Customs has recently sent a working group to Pingtan for investigation, and plans to build Pingtan Island into a special supervision area closed by the whole island in conjunction with Fujian, so as to create a seventh mode different from the existing bonded port areas and bonded logistics parks in the mainland, bringing convenience to Taiwanese businessmen. In the future, they can freely produce and store goods in Pingtan as they do in Taiwan Province Island. In addition, since Fujian Province has proposed "joint planning, joint investment and joint management" with Taiwan Province Province, it is expected that the region will take the lead in realizing visa-free entry and exit for Taiwan compatriots, and Taiwan Province Province's licensed cars will go directly to the island, and the new Taiwan dollar will circulate freely and even offshore financial business. " Policies that have never existed in Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province Province will be implemented here. Du, member of the Standing Committee of Fuzhou Municipal Committee and director of Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone Management Committee, said. He even said that Pingtan is willing to set aside special zones or even outlying islands, and leave them all to Taiwan Province Province for development and construction. Some scholars have analyzed that apart from two currencies (RMB and NT), it is expected that two Chinese characters (traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters) and two sets of license plates (mainland license plates and Taiwan Province license plates) will be stored in this area at the same time. In addition to facilitating cross-strait personnel exchanges, building an economic and financial platform and promoting the construction of cross-strait economic circles, Pingtan Island will also undertake a win-win "experiment" of two different social systems on both sides of the strait. Zhang Yazhong, convener of the International Strategy Group of the Taiwan Competitiveness Forum and professor of the Department of Political Science of Taiwan Province Provincial University, told reporters that the development of Pingtan is not to copy the experience of Shenzhen. To realize the "experimental zone in the experimental zone", local governments need to obtain better "try first" policies from the central government. He believes that Pingtan's "* * * construction * * * management" should be jointly managed by the mainland and Taiwan Province Province, and officials on both sides of the strait can learn how to get along through the development of this region. On this basis, further cross-strait judicial cooperation in the future can be carried out in Pingtan first. It is reported that members of Taiwan Competitiveness Forum will lead a professional planning team to Pingtan on June 5438+00 to discuss and participate in the planning of the * * * building. Zhang Yazhong pointed out that if Taiwan Province Province can bring in the ideas and visions of Taiwan Province Province at the initial stage of Pingtan Island planning, it will have more say in the future. The netizen who advocated the establishment of "Pingtan Chief Executive" recommended Xiao Wanchang, the most influential public opinion position in Fujian Province. Some netizens boldly suggested that Pingtan should be regarded as a special zone for political reform, inviting people from Taiwan Province Province to participate, and people on both sides of the strait should make joint efforts to explore feasible ways for the long-term stability and prosperity of the Chinese nation. This post caused a strong response. Some netizens even said that they can imitate the system of the chief executive of Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions and reorganize the management of the experimental area. "Xiao Wanchang has been invited to be the CEO, and he will form a cabinet." . Expectation of Hong Kong businessmen: Policy concretization Zhou Xun, chairman of Fujian Cai Mao Group, is a native of Pingtan. With Hong Kong identity, he has been working hard in the mainland clothing business all the year round, and now he is a leader in the children's wear industry in Fujian. He has too many memories of his hometown Pingtan. He told reporters that when I was a child, there was a local jingle "Pingtan Island, which was really bad. There are more sweet potatoes, less rice, and fewer men and women. " There is an urgent need for "try first" refinement, but Zhou Xuncai is still waiting to see whether to participate in the construction of Pingtan Island Comprehensive Experimental Zone. Similarly, the large-scale Pingtan private capital has the same attitude towards development as Zhou Xuncai. The reporter also learned from Pingtan Shipowners Association and related tunnel companies that although many Pingtan businessmen who are wandering abroad are interested in returning to their hometowns for investment, they are still waiting for the introduction of specific development plans due to unclear policies. Zhou Xuncai said that businessmen who are familiar with Pingtan found that all the preferential policies they can come up with are "try first", and businessmen who know Fuzhou's official culture know that this means that there is no policy, because there is no red tape and detailed content. Whether it can really make a breakthrough in trying first will test the courage and wisdom of local officials. Powerful private capital is still waiting to see. He also mentioned that Pingtan has been in a corner for a long time and its development is slow, which is not unrelated to the poor local business environment and weak government service awareness. These are all concerns about the return of private capital. Pingtan's private capital is quite abundant, but most of them invest in other provinces. According to the industry evaluation, the local investment in tunnels is at least 30 billion yuan, and the engineering quantity contracted by tunnels in the mainland exceeds 70%. The tonnage of marine vessels invested by Pingtan people is 7.6 million tons, and the assets are about 654.38+0.8 billion yuan. The worry of Taiwan Province think tank: the hardware is not hard enough. Even though Pingtan is expected to become the "new favorite" of mainland cooperation with Taiwan, Taiwan Province academic circles still treat it calmly, and pointing out the shortcomings is also a local move. Lin, the general convener of Taiwan Competitiveness Forum, pointed out that Pingtan has a good location, but its infrastructure is backward. It will take four to five years for the financial industry in Taiwan Province Province to start business there. Pingtan has now entered the accelerated construction period. The first sea-crossing bridge is expected to be opened to traffic in June of next year at 5438+ 10, and the island road investment of 2 billion yuan has been put in place, and the main investors in wharf and transportation infrastructure are gradually becoming clear. Peng, secretary-general of the forum, said that if Pingtan's transportation network can be basically completed within three to five years, especially the second sea-crossing bridge, Pingtan Island will have considerable advantages. However, Xie Minghui, CEO of Taiwan Competitiveness Forum, believes that it will take time for Pingtan's infrastructure to really work. Not only is the local land "nine connections and one leveling" not done well, let alone the ability to integrate with the international community. Once the Memorandum of Understanding on Cross-Strait Financial Supervision and Cooperation is signed, Taiwanese businessmen and enterprises are afraid that they can't wait to enter the mainland from Pingtan. At the same time, whether Pingtan Experimental Area can acquire knowledge of Taibei is also one of the worries of Taiwan Province scholars. Xie Minghui bluntly feared that it would become Fujian's wishful thinking. Pingtan people who left their hometown came back to seize business opportunities. Although businessmen who come here for a long time still need to take a ferry for half an hour to land on the island, see? The Pingtan Strait Bridge, which is under construction next to the waterway, is greeted with the huge advertisement "Pingtan Forward" after going to the island. When the journey is bumpy, they will still feel the infinite business opportunities brought by the great changes in the future. The news of Pingtan's development, which is constantly released to the outside world, is inspiring the enthusiasm of local people. Many Pingtan people believe that the land where people have lived for generations is increasingly closely related to Taiwan Province Province. As a result, Pingtan people living in other places began to contact relatives and friends on the island to ask about business opportunities before development. The residents of the island are also thinking about their life after development. Different from the past, Pingtan people have a new dream of Taiwan Province Province. Yang Guangping, chairman of Sunshine Eco-agriculture Development Co., Ltd., which runs eco-agriculture in Pingtan, said that Pingtan is planning a number of docks to Taiwan, and it will be more convenient for the two places to transport goods by sea in the future because the distance is close. "Pork slaughtered at night can be sent to hotels in Taiwan Province Province during the day." He hoped that the company's pork and other agricultural products would open the market in Taiwan Province Province with the convenience of Pingtan's transportation to Taiwan. Similarly, a Pingtan man named Liu has settled outside, and he has made up his mind about the houses in his village. "The villagers' residence in Pingtan Island has a unique style, which is different from the architectural styles in Fujian and Minnan. This place is not only suitable for literary and art circles to create sketches, but also suitable for folk tourism development. He said that he was interested in contacting some old friends in Pingtan to integrate and develop such island resources together, so that he could earn money from tourists in Taiwan Province Province in the future. The reporter also found that the election of village officials has been ignored for many years because of the poverty on the island and the wandering character of Pingtan people. This year coincides with the changes in the villages on the island. Surprisingly, the registration for running for village officials is quite enthusiastic. When asked about the reasons of the local villagers, they all smiled and said, "There will be great changes in the future, which will definitely be beneficial. The first hot property price of real estate soared by 80%, and Pingtan's house price kept setting a new record. Many foreigners from Xiamen and Fuzhou go to Pingtan, hoping to buy one or even several properties in the mainland's Taiwan Experimental Zone. With clear policies, these investments can appreciate rapidly. As soon as the reporter boarded Pingtan Wharf, all kinds of real estate advertisements came into view along the way, and new buildings in the county were everywhere. It is understood that around the Spring Festival this year, house prices on the island suddenly soared. The house price of less than 3,000 yuan per square meter rose to more than 5,000 yuan at the highest time. The latest data shows that the real estate sales of Pingtan Island increased by more than 80% in July. As the most expensive OCT in China, the average price of apartments facing the sea is 5 200 yuan per square meter, and the higher floors are as high as 5 900 yuan. However, after the launch of the property, high-rise apartments were quickly sold out. Due to the current hot sales of new discs, some foreign buyers have turned their attention to the second-hand housing market. A citizen surnamed Zhan told reporters that he bought two houses in the early days, and the one he just sold brought him nearly 200,000 yuan in profits. Sun, manager of Xihang Real Estate, said that once Pingtan entered the development period, it had already taken root in the magic weapon for local real estate enterprises to cope with external shocks, with a lot of land in its hands. "Everyone is waiting for planning, so that in the future, we can classify and develop according to different functional areas. It is understood that only one enterprise of Xihang Real Estate has collected and stored hundreds of acres of land to be developed. Recently, I learned from relevant departments that after Pingtan was upgraded from "county" to "special zone", many materials in the county party committee office will be labeled as "out". On August 10, Chen Hua, member of the Standing Committee of Fujian Provincial Committee of China and Vice Governor, officially announced the establishment of Fuzhou (Pingtan) Comprehensive Experimental Zone in Taiwan Province Province. For Pingtan, it is a transitional period, waiting for the implementation of specific policies and measures-after all, the article "Cross-strait * * * jointly build a * * * management pilot special zone" is enough to break ground. " Pingtan is a blank sheet of paper. Only by careful planning can we draw a beautiful economic blueprint on it. "Zheng Zhuangzhi, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Pingtan County Committee, told reporters. During this period, he received many domestic and foreign media and delegations. In the face of the "new policies" and "new actions" that everyone kept asking, he always smiled and shook his head: "There is nothing to talk about. "

Pingtan has obvious advantages in wind energy and tidal energy. The number of "68 nautical miles" for the opening of the cross-sea bridge next autumn was repeatedly mentioned by different interviewees during the interview. For Pingtan people, it has been known since childhood that Pingtan is the closest island county in Chinese mainland to the main island of Taiwan Province Province, only 68 nautical miles away from Hsinchu. If there is any further content, they will talk about it now. Since the provincial government announced the establishment of Fuzhou (Pingtan) Comprehensive Experimental Zone, house prices began to rise, and more foreigners began to visit ... However, all this is not as wonderful as a "Strait Bridge". Connecting Pingtan Nianggong Village and Fuqing Xiaoshan East is a lifelong dream of Pingtan people. The 3.5-kilometer-long sea-crossing bridge started construction on June 30, 2007, and the substructure including pile foundation (pier) has been 70% completed. It is expected to be completed and opened to traffic on September 20 10. "This bridge named Pingtan will not only connect the traffic between Fujian and Pingtan Island, but also connect the great cause of reunification between Taiwan Province Province and the mainland," said Taiwan Province Business Weekly. In fact, this cross-sea bridge may be the starting point for Pingtan to enter the national strategy. The significance and value of the bridge is self-evident. In addition to the Strait Bridge, the Pingtan Second Bridge (Changle Guhuai to Pingtan Expressway) connecting Fuzhou Airport is also being actively prepared and has been included in the Haixi Expressway network, striving to complete the project approval by the end of this year. After the completion of the "Special Zone", it will be "very Xiamen". "After completion, the construction level of Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone will be better than that of Xiamen and Dalian." This is the related remarks of Chen Wenbo, the county magistrate of Pingtan County and the deputy director of the comprehensive experimental zone management committee. It is reported that the Pingtan roundabout highway route plan has been submitted to Fuzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau for review, and it is planned to complete the feasibility study report by the end of 65438+February. For the construction project of Taiwan Province Ro-Ro Wharf, research and geological drilling are being stepped up, and a breakwater with a length of about 200 meters will be built in the near future. Upon completion, 1 20,000-ton passenger and cargo ro-ro wharf and corresponding supporting facilities will be built. "Build Pingtan Island into a demonstration area for exploring new modes of cross-strait cooperation and a pioneering area for the scientific development of the economic zone on the west side of the Taiwan Strait." This is the intention of establishing Fuzhou (Pingtan) Comprehensive Experimental Zone. In terms of the cross-strait industrial cooperation park, Yu, director of Pingtan County Development and Reform Bureau, said that in order to undertake the industrial transfer in Taiwan Province Province, Pingtan designated Huoshao Port as a cross-strait industrial cooperation park with a total area of 6,543.8+0.2 million square kilometers, and the port area can be built with a berth of 300,000 tons to facilitate the entry and exit of goods by enterprises in the park. Pingtan has been doing preliminary work. Taiwan Province compatriots in Pingtan are confident that Pingtan Island will be developed with the consent of the people on both sides of the strait. Wang Jialong, deputy director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of Pingtan County Committee, told the reporter that ZTE Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd., one of the largest engineering companies in Taiwan Province Province, has cooperated with the Provincial Planning and Design Institute to "really do the planning and design of Pingtan." "Companies in Taiwan Province Province participated in our planning, because they know more about the tastes of people in Taiwan Province Province. Pingtan should develop or interact. If it's just unrequited love, it's boring. " Wang Jianlong said meaningfully, "We want to build Pingtan with the strength of the whole province. If Pingtan jumps around there alone, nothing can jump out." During this period, Wang Jialong also received many investigation groups and journalists from Taiwan Province Province. After many contacts, he felt that the people of Taiwan Province Province still had optimistic imagination. "They have great confidence in the mainland government, because according to past history, several special zones built in the mainland have been very successful. If we build another special zone now, we will certainly do well! " Of course, he also raised a realistic problem that must be recognized clearly: the foundation of Pingtan itself is indeed relatively weak.
