世纪之交,一场如火如荼的大开发战役在中国西部打响了。欢呼庆幸之余,我又一次重温了邓小平、江泽民等领导人关于“两个大局”和西部大开发的有关论述。深深感到,党中央、国务院按照小平同志“两个大局”的战略构想,在世纪交替的关健时期作出实施西部大开发战略的决定,不仅仅是为了解决地区之间经济发展差距问题,更重要的是包含着深刻的政治思考,不仅具有重大的现实意义,而且具有深远的历史意义和广泛的社会意义。正象江泽民总书记说的那样:“是一个振兴中华的宏伟战略任务,实现了这个宏图大略,其经济的、文化的、政治的、军事的和社会的深远意义,是难以估量的。”(1999年6月17日在西安主持召开国有企业改革和发展座谈会时的讲话)1998年9月12日,小平同志在听取关于价格和工资改革初步方案汇报时说:“沿海地区要加快对外开放,使这个拥有两亿人口的广大地带较快地先发展起来,从而带动内地更好地发展,这是一个事关大局的问题。内地要顾全这个大局。反过来,发展到一定时候,又要求沿海拿出更多力量来帮助内地发展,这也是个大局,那时沿海也要服从这个大局。”按照“两个大局”的战略构想,在改革开放以来的前20年中,全国人民自觉地顾全了第一个大局,让条件较好的东部沿海地区先发展起来。广东、浙 At the turn of the century, a vigorous campaign of grand development started in western China. I am glad that I once again revisited the relevant statements by Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin on the “overall situation of the two regions” and the development of the western region. It is deeply felt that the decision made by the Party Central Committee and the State Council in implementing the strategy for the great development of the western region in the crucial period of the turn of the century, not only to solve the problem of economic development gap between regions, according to Comrade Xiaoping’s strategic concept of “two overall plans” , More importantly, it contains profound political thinking. It not only has great practical significance but also has far-reaching historical significance and extensive social significance. As General Secretary Jiang Zemin said: “It is a grand strategic task of rejuvenating China. It is difficult to measure this grand plan and its far-reaching economic, cultural, political, military and social significance.” (Speech at the Seminar on Reform and Development of State-owned Enterprises Held in Xi’an on June 17, 1999) On September 12, 1998, Comrade Xiaoping, speaking to the preliminary plan on price and wage reform, said: “In the coastal areas, To speed up the pace of opening up to the outside world and to develop the vast strip of land with a population of 200 million so as to promote a better development of the Mainland is a matter that concerns the overall situation. The Mainland should take this situation into full consideration. , And they also demanded that the coastal areas should come up with more force to help the development of the Mainland. This is also a big picture, and at that time, the coast should follow this overall pattern. ”In accordance with the strategic vision of“ two overall plans, ”during the first two decades since the reform and opening up , The people throughout the country conscientiously took the first overall picture and made the better-developed eastern coastal areas develop first.
