Chen Gang, Professor and Doctoral Supervisor of school of economics of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, academic and technical leader of applied economics in Chongqing, the main research areas are political and development economics, empirical legal economics and cultural economics, published more than 70 academic papers in journals such as "Economic Research" and "Management World", presided over the completion of a number of national and provincial and ministerial projects, and won many awards such as Chongqing Social Science Outstanding Achievement Award and Chongqing Development Research Award for scientific research achievements.

In the process of economic development, under the guidance of expected returns, the gradual agglomeration of population to the metropolitan area is an inevitable trend of economic development, and the agglomeration economic benefits such as resource sharing and knowledge spillover brought about by the agglomeration of population to the metropolitan area are also an important source of national economic growth. For example, in 2020, Japan's three major metropolitan areas of Tokyo, Keihanshin, and Nagoya accounted for more than half (51.2%) of the country's total population and generated 70% of Japan's total GDP; in 2010, the three major metropolitan areas of the United States, the Great Lakes, The Tohoku region, and Southern California, accounted for 43% of the total population, creating more than half of the total GDP of the United States.

After the reform and opening up of China's economy, the eastern coastal areas have gradually formed three important urban agglomerations such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the land area of the three major urban agglomerations accounts for only 5% of the total land area of the country, but it has absorbed 14% of the country's permanent population and created 40% of the country's total GDP, which is an important source of power to promote the high-quality growth of China's economy.

The Twin Cities Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, located in the western part of China, has the foundation and potential to become the fourth largest urban agglomeration and growth pole in China. Chengdu-Chongqing area twin-city economic circle is located at the intersection of the "Belt and Road" and the Yangtze River Economic Belt, is the starting point of the new land and sea corridor in the western region, the region has excellent ecological endowments, has an important strategic position in the overall situation of national development, and promotes the construction of the double-tier economic circle in Chengdu-Chongqing region, which profoundly embodies the development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, and is a major measure to promote the large-scale development of the western region in the new era.

The Chengdu-Chongqing region has the same roots and origins in culture, but the construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle also faces many institutional barriers and obstacles, and breaking down the institutional obstacles to the construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle requires scientific guidance from the top-level design. The "Outline of the Planning for the Construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region" issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council is a programmatic document guiding the construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region, in which the Central Committee has clearly defined the strategic positioning of building the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle into an important economic center with important influence in the country, a scientific and technological innovation center, a new highland for reform and opening up, and a livable place for high-quality life, and put forward the strategic positioning of strengthening the construction of transportation infrastructure, accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system, enhancing the ability of collaborative innovation and development, and optimizing the spatial layout of the national territory. Strengthen ecological environmental protection, promote institutional mechanism innovation, and strengthen the co-construction and sharing of public services.

Keywords such as "integrated development concept", "one game of chess" and "synergy" mentioned many times in the "Outline of the Planning for the Construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region" show that the construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region needs to break the inertia of "zero-sum competition" thinking and establish and adhere to inclusive thinking. First of all, in the modern industrial system/construction, the Chengdu-Chongqing region needs to adhere to the "Sichuan-Chongqing chess game" thinking, all parties should be based on the existing industrial base and resource endowments, adhere to the development strategy of "doing something, not doing something", avoid the homogenization of industrial development, and gradually build a modern economic system with efficient division of labor, orderly competition, complementary advantages and mutual integration. Secondly, in the construction of the social security system, the Chengdu-Chongqing region should accelerate the coordinated docking of public service policies such as medical care, pension and education, promote the two-way free flow of production factors such as talents, technology and capital in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, and improve the allocation efficiency of production factors. Finally, in reshaping the pattern of regional development, we should strengthen the radiation and driving role of the central urban area on the surrounding small and medium-sized cities, promote the balanced development of the region with points and areas, and effectively promote rural revitalization with urban belt and rural areas, so that the reform results can benefit all regions, departments and industries more equitably, and substantively promote common prosperity.

The Outline of the Planning for the Construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region (hereinafter referred to as the Outline) was officially released on October 20, 2021. The Outline depicts a grand blueprint for the development of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region from the aspects of planning background, overall requirements, building a new pattern of development of the twin-city economic circle, jointly building a modern infrastructure network, coordinating the construction of a modern industrial system, jointly building a scientific and technological innovation center with national influence, building an international consumption destination with Bashu characteristics, jointly building an ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, jointly building an inland reform and opening up highland, jointly promoting the integration of urban and rural development, strengthening the co-construction and sharing of public services, and promoting the implementation of the plan. It is a major national strategic programmatic document to promote the development of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region.

I. The "Outline" is the "Mission Statement" and "Construction Drawing" for the Cooperative Development of the Chengdu-Chongqing Region

Located at the intersection of the "Belt and Road" and the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle is the starting point of the new land-sea corridor in the west, with the unique advantages of connecting the southwest and northwest, connecting East Asia with Southeast Asia and South Asia. The region has excellent ecological endowments, rich energy and mineral resources, dense towns and towns, and diverse winds and materials, and is the region with the most dense population, the strongest industrial foundation, the strongest innovation ability, the broadest market space and the highest degree of openness in the western part of China, and has a unique and important strategic position in the overall situation of national development. At present, the development of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region is facing many difficulties and problems that need to be solved urgently, mainly because there is still a big gap between the comprehensive strength and competitiveness of the Chengdu-Chongqing region and the developed areas in the east, the infrastructure bottleneck is still obvious, the urban scale structure is not reasonable, the degree of coordination of the industrial chain division of labor is not high, the support capacity of scientific and technological innovation is weak, the gap between urban and rural development is large, the task of ecological environmental protection is arduous, and there are still many shortcomings in the people's livelihood security. Coinciding with the unprecedented major changes in the world in a hundred years, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are developing in depth, and the international division of labor system is facing systematic adjustment. The "Outline" was issued at this time, which fully embodies the deep concern and ardent expectations of the CPC Central Committee for the provinces and cities of Sichuan and Chongqing, and is the basic observance and action guide for implementing the development strategy of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region. It is necessary to regard the implementation of the "Outline" as the central task of the present and future historical period, accelerate the formation of a powerful and distinctive twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, and form an important growth pole for high-quality development in the western region.

Second, build an integrated comprehensive transportation system to strongly support the construction of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing area

The geographical location of Chengdu-Chongqing region is important and has the unique advantage of building a comprehensive transportation hub. However, there are several problems in the development of the comprehensive transportation system in the Chengdu-Chongqing area: First, the population and economic distribution of the Chengdu-Chongqing area is uneven, the Chengdu-Chongqing area is 185,000 square kilometers, the permanent population is 96 million people, but the spatial distribution of the population and economy within the region is significantly different, and the two metropolitan circles formed by the "dual core" of Chongqing and Chengdu and its radiation have significant advantages, requiring the strengthening of the "dual core" comprehensive traffic radiation function. Second, the urbanization pattern is not up to expectations, the urbanization rate in The Chengdu-Chongqing area in 2019 is 60.1%, which is comparable to the national average level of urbanization, but the main axis of chengdu-Chongqing development and the cultivation and development of the urban belt along the river are relatively lagging behind, and it is necessary to strengthen the guidance and support of the comprehensive transportation system. In addition to the "dual core" of The main urban area of Chongqing and Chengdu, there are 122 county-level units, including 51 under the jurisdiction of the city and 71 in counties and county-level cities, which require the improvement of comprehensive transportation service coverage.

Starting from the five aspects of aviation, rail, highway, shipping, and passenger and cargo transportation, the Outline builds an integrated and comprehensive transportation system that is safe, convenient, efficient, green and economic, and strongly supports the construction of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region. To implement the "Outline", we should highlight the synergy of Chongqing and Chengdu, pay attention to reflecting regional advantages and characteristics, and create an important growth pole and a new power source that drives the high-quality development of the whole country. Specifically:

1. Highlight the "dual-core" leadership. The most prominent feature of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region is the "dual core" with the main urban area of Chongqing and the two central cities of Chengdu as the core. Therefore, the comprehensive transportation system of the twin-city economic circle in chengdu and Chongqing should be built around the "double core" as a whole, and give full play to the radiation and driving role of the two central cities. With rail transit as the backbone and highway network as the basis, promote the construction of an integrated comprehensive transportation network, basically form a traffic circle and commuting circle between regional central cities such as Chengdu and Chongqing "dual core", "dual core" and two wings, classify and build a green and efficient urban comprehensive transportation system, and optimize the urban-rural integrated transportation network.

2. Strengthen external contacts. The Chengdu-Chongqing region is located inland, and accelerating the construction of external contact channels is of great significance for building an inland reform and opening up highland and actively participating in the dual cycle of domestic and international economies. The "Planning" proposes to build a high-quality external transport network, actively serve and integrate into the major national development strategies, accelerate the construction of a comprehensive transport corridor with mutual benefit between land and sea and four-way expansion, realize domestic access and international opening up, and support the construction of a strategic highland of inland opening up. Focusing on the construction of high-speed railways and Pusu trunk railways, we will focus on improving the expressway network, give full play to the function of the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, and optimize the layout of the comprehensive transportation network. At the same time, we will build a high-level international hub cluster, promote the construction of a world-class airport cluster, and jointly build a shipping center in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Chongqing.

3. Improve the integrated comprehensive transportation hub system. Integrated comprehensive transportation hubs should enhance the energy level of "dual-core" hubs, improve the strategic position of "two wings" areas, and strengthen the transportation hub functions of node cities. Focus on building an international comprehensive transportation hub from Chengdu to Chongqing, and play the role of a transportation hub with global access, efficient connection and perfect functions. Promote the construction of national comprehensive transportation hubs, strengthen the role of regional comprehensive transportation hubs in connecting and driving, and optimize the division of labor and cooperation among hub cities at different levels.

4. Create an efficient and interconnected intercity transportation network. Focus on strengthening the axial connection of the main axis of Chengdu and Chongqing, promote the coordinated development of cities along the river, and radiate to drive the development of the two provinces and cities of Sichuan and Chongqing. Around the "dual core", priority will be given to using the surplus capacity of trunk railways to open intercity trains, appropriately build new intercity railways, and build an intercity railway network. Optimize the intercity expressway network and strengthen the interconnection of intercity expressways. At the same time, we will smooth the transportation channels with the Qinba Mountains, Wuling Mountains and other surrounding underdeveloped areas, and support the improvement of the transportation infrastructure network in the old revolutionary areas of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

5. Construct a commuter transportation network in the metropolitan area. Strengthen the docking of rail transit, road traffic and bus lines in Chongqing Metropolitan Area and Chengdu Metropolitan Area, and create a 1-hour commuting circle. Promote the "four-network integration" of trunk railways, intercity railways, urban (suburban) railways, and urban rail transit to create a "metropolitan circle on the track". Promote the integrated development of Chongqing's central urban area and the western Yuxi region, strengthen the effective connection between trunk roads and urban roads, dredge the access channels of major node cities, strengthen the transformation and upgrading of suburban roads, and accelerate the construction of road safety facilities.

Third, coordinate the construction of a modern industrial system and form an important growth pole for high-quality development

The transportation integration of the Chengdu-Chongqing metropolitan area will ultimately promote the docking of the intercity industrial chain, realize the integrated development of the industry, and enhance the competitiveness of the Chengdu-Chongqing metropolitan area. In January 2020, the sixth meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Commission pointed out that promoting the construction of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region is conducive to forming an important growth pole for high-quality development in the western region and creating a strategic highland for inland opening up, which is of great significance for promoting high-quality development. To form an important growth pole for high-quality development, we must vigorously promote the division of labor and cooperation in the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, form a situation of coordinated industrial development, and build a modern industrial system in the chengdu-Chongqing twin-city economic circle. Industrial division of labor and cooperation is an important part and economic foundation for the development of regional integration. At present, there are still problems such as the coordinated development mechanism of the coordinated development mechanism in the twin-city economic circle in Chengdu and Chongqing, the serious lag in industrial cooperation planning, the low degree of integration of the industrial policy system, and the insufficient cooperation of the open platform for industrial development. In this regard, the "Outline" pointed out that taking the new round of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial chain reshaping as an opportunity, adhere to market leadership and government guidance, strengthen mechanism innovation, optimize, stabilize and enhance the industrial chain supply chain, and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system with efficient division of labor, dislocation development, orderly competition and mutual integration. The first is to promote the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry by optimizing the layout of major productive forces, cultivating advanced manufacturing clusters with international competitiveness, and vigorously undertaking industrial transfer and integrating and optimizing major industrial platforms. The second is to vigorously develop the digital economy by improving the new generation of information infrastructure, creating a new highland for the digital industry, expanding digital applications, and improving the level of digital security. The third is to promote the integrated development of advanced manufacturing and service industries, improve the level of development of trade and logistics, and jointly build a financial center in the western region, so as to cultivate and develop modern service industries. The fourth is to promote the high-quality development of agriculture, strengthen the support of agricultural science and technology, vigorously expand the market for agricultural products, and build a modern and efficient agricultural belt with characteristics.

Let the rule of law escort the integrated development of the market in the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region

Professor Wan Jiang

Sing "A Tale of Two Cities"! Professor Xi Zheng takes you to interpret the "Outline of the Planning for the Construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in Chengdu and Chongqing Region"

Wan Jiang is a professor and doctoral supervisor of the School of Economic Law of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, the vice president of the Institute of Development of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in Chengdu-Chongqing Area of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and a young scholar of Bayu in Chongqing. He presided over the major project of Chongqing Social Science Foundation, "Rule of Law Guarantee for the Integrated Development of the Market in the Twin Cities Economic Circle in Chengdu and Chongqing Region".

In January 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the sixth meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Commission, and made a major decision and deployment to promote the construction of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region and build an important growth pole for high-quality development. Recently, the Outline of the Planning for the Construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region (hereinafter referred to as the Outline) was publicly released. The "Outline" is divided into twelve chapters, which carry out top-level design, scientific planning and overall coordination for the construction of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, which is the guide and direction for the construction of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region and the basis for formulating relevant plans and policies.

One of the overall requirements for the construction of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing area in the second chapter of the "Outline" is to "firmly establish the concept of integrated development", and further point out in the guiding ideology section that it is necessary to "lead and drive the overall coordinated development of the Chengdu-Chongqing region and promote the rational flow and efficient agglomeration of industries, population and various production factors". In terms of development goals, the Outline once again proposes that the level of integrated development of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region should be significantly improved in 2025, institutional transaction costs should be significantly reduced, administrative barriers and institutional obstacles hindering the free flow of production factors should be basically eliminated, and a unified and open market system should be basically established. In chapter 9, section 4, the Outline clearly states that it is necessary to "promote the integration of factor markets."

Based on the above requirements of the "Outline", it can be seen that promoting the free flow of various production factors and promoting the integrated development of the market is one of the due meanings and core tasks of the construction of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region. The rule of law is the cornerstone of a market economy. In order to promote the free flow of factors and reduce institutional transaction costs, the State Council formulated the Regulations on Optimizing the Business Environment in 2019, proposing a series of arrangements for free market access and fair competition review. For the construction of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, in order to achieve the integrated development of the market, it is also necessary to play the role of the guarantee of the rule of law.

First of all, jointly build unified market rules. Because Chongqing Municipality, Sichuan Province and its subordinate prefecture-level cities can formulate local regulations and local government rules, refine market access standards, formulate specific administrative punishment standards, and stipulate specific legal responsibilities, there are great differences in market access, administrative supervision, and legal responsibility within the scope of the Chengdu-Chongqing Area Twin Cities Economic Circle. Only by strengthening legislative coordination and unifying administrative discretionary benchmarks can the above problems be solved. At present, Chongqing Municipality and Sichuan Province have made a lot of explorations in tax administrative discretionary benchmarks and market access, but more comprehensive cooperation on unified market rules still needs to be strengthened.

Second, speed up the clearance and abolition of various regulations and practices that hinder the unified market and fair competition. One of the problems facing China's coordinated regional development is that there are a large number of explicit and invisible market barriers, and the phenomenon of local protection and market segmentation is more prominent, which affects the formation of a unified market. To this end, improving the fair competition review system, especially the institutionalization of the cross-assessment of fair competition review that Has been tried by Chongqing Municipality and Sichuan Province, is extremely important to break the unreasonable restrictions of administrative divisions on the flow of factors.

Finally, strengthen law enforcement collaboration. In the case of the free flow of factor resources and market entities, how to strengthen market supervision and prevent regulatory loopholes and repeated law enforcement is necessary. Enhanced law enforcement collaboration can address these issues. Chapter 9 of the Outline points out that it is necessary to optimize the comprehensive supervision system and establish and improve the linkage response and coordination mechanism for administrative law enforcement. Chapter V of the Outline points out that it is necessary to promote the regional integration of financial markets and supervision, and promote cross-regional cooperation in specific fields. Obviously, the central government has also noted the importance of improving the administrative supervision system for the construction of the twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region.

The construction of the twin-city economic circle in Chengdu-Chongqing region is a major measure to build a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other, which is of great significance. Only by implementing the important arrangements of the Party Central Committee as a specific matter through the rule of law can we ensure that the goal of building a twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region can be achieved and become an active growth pole and a strong source of power with international influence at an early date.

The foundation, carrier and orientation of the development of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle

Professor Chen Yili

Sing "A Tale of Two Cities"! Professor Xi Zheng takes you to interpret the "Outline of the Planning for the Construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in Chengdu and Chongqing Region"

Chen Yili is a professor at the School of Economics of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, the vice president of the Institute of Development of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing Area of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, the deputy director of the Institutional Economics Research Center, and the vice president of the Chongqing Capital theory and Socialist Market Economy Research Association. In recent years, he has presided over a number of projects such as the National Social Science Foundation of China and the Ministry of Education, and published more than 30 papers in CSSCI source journals such as Economic Dynamics and Legal System and Social Development, many of which have been reprinted by Chinese University, Chinese Social Science Abstracts, and Liberal Arts Academic Abstracts of Colleges and Universities.

Recently, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Outline of the Planning for the Construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region", which is a programmatic document for the future development of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle.

Promoting the construction of tangible modern infrastructure and the construction of an intangible business environment is the basic work for the future development of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle. Although after years of development, the infrastructure construction of Chengdu and Chongqing has been greatly improved, but compared with the more developed economic growth poles such as the Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, the infrastructure shortcomings in the Chengdu-Chongqing area are obvious. Only by improving infrastructure can we bring more people, logistics and capital flows, laying a solid foundation for industrial undertaking, upgrading and industrial cluster building. The invisible business environment is another basic work for Chengdu and Chongqing to grow and develop and form an important economic growth pole, chengdu and chongqing should dare to break down administrative barriers, establish a government service system that conforms to economic laws and industrial development laws, and form an integrated first-class business environment, thus laying the foundation for the formation of an industrial complementary, efficient division of labor, mutual integration and common development between Chengdu and Chongqing, and then realize the joint construction of an internationally competitive advanced manufacturing cluster and the formation of a developed modern industrial system.

Industry is the core carrier of economic development in the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle. Development is the last word, in order to build an important economic center with national influence, scientific and technological innovation center, industry is the core carrier to achieve these strategic goals. Chengdu and Chongqing have a good foundation in many industries, and the future industrial development is to continue the existing advantages, promote the high-quality development of traditional excellent industries, continue to make the existing advantageous industries and characteristic industries stronger and better, further exert the driving capacity of advantageous industries, and create advantageous industrial clusters. The second is to take a new round of scientific and technological revolution as an opportunity to promote the upgrading of traditional advantageous industries, enhance the value chain and competitiveness, and vigorously develop the digital economy and promote the development of emerging industries. The third is to focus on scientific and technological innovation, Chengdu and Chongqing region has important national educational resources and scientific and technological resources, has a considerable foundation in human resources and scientific and technological innovation, the future should be more resolute to take the road of high-quality development, more rely on attracting and retaining talents, relying on scientific and technological innovation to achieve industrial and economic development.

Creating a high-quality living place and realizing the happiness of people's lives is the ultimate content orientation of the development of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle. Our development is for the people, and "the happiness of the people is the cause of the Communist Party." To create a livable place with high-quality life, it is necessary to promote the integration of urban and rural development, promote the construction of infrastructure integrating urban and rural areas, promote the equalization of basic public services, stimulate the vitality of rural markets, promote agricultural development and rural industry revitalization, increase farmers' incomes, and form a benign interaction between urban and rural areas. Secondly, we must make every effort to build an international consumption destination rich in Bashu characteristics, the residents of Chengdu and Chongqing are optimistic, enjoy life, good at innovation, distinctive characteristics, high popularity, and great attraction, we must further highlight the characteristics of Bashu, create a world-class leisure tourism holy land with great charm, perfectly integrate landscape with humanities, history and modernity, and form a rich resident, developed industry, and strong consumption. Once again, we must promote green development. The unique natural ecology is the distinctive label and advantage of Chengdu and Chongqing, and it is necessary to protect, carry forward and make good use of these advantages and characteristics, and build a livable place with high-quality life, as an important means to retain talents and attract talents, and promote the development of the chengdu-Chongqing twin-city economic circle.

Mountains and rivers are interdependent, humanities are connected, and industries are similar
