Chongqing Municipality requested the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to regulate the competition of provincial and municipal notebook projects

In the midst of the global financial crisis, Chongqing City took the next step and completed the layout of the world's largest laptop production base in three years. The local industrial output value thus doubled in an instant. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology dispatched staff to investigate and investigate “Chongqing Experience” on the 21st. Take advantage of some policy requirements.

"Chongqing Way" Rise to "Chongqing Experience"

On October 21st, the research team of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, headed by Liu Lihua, the vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, flew to Chongqing to investigate the innovation and industrial transfer issues of the city’s industrial transformation and upgrading.

The information disclosed by Guo Fuhua, Director of the Department of Policy and Regulations at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on the 21st, revealed that this survey was originated by Minister Miao Wei’s speech at the “National Industry Work Conference” in July this year. Miao Wei believes that “should summarize Take a look at some of Chongqing's experiences and practices."

The background of the survey is that Chongqing City discovered in the global financial crisis in 2008 that all major industries in the world showed signs of decline or contraction, except that the notebook computer industry rose in a contrarian fashion and the annual production capacity of 120 million units was completed. 800 billion yuan, equivalent to double the existing industrial output value.

Chongqing City Economic and Information Technology Committee believes that before the domestic export processing model is "two ends out", that is, raw materials and spare parts from overseas, products exported to overseas. In the process of distributing laptop bases, Chongqing led the global notebook industry chain to complete “vertical integration” (in other words, penetration of pen and TV manufacturers and component manufacturers upstream and downstream, and completion of industrial agglomeration) in the city in just three years. To create a “one-out” development model and explore a new path for the development of processing trade in inland areas, creating a “Chongqing Way” for industrial transformation and upgrading of inland areas.

"Chongqing Wolf" Urges Regulatory "Overcompetition"

Mu Huaping, director of the Chongqing Municipal Commission of Economics and Letters, after reporting on the basic conditions of the local industry, the transition of the industrial economy, and the industrial transfer, made a move and asked the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for policy support.

However, the first request was actually to expect the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to come forward to prevent excessive competition among some provinces and cities in the country.

“Three years ago, Chongqing meticulously planned and promoted the construction of a global laptop base. The overall progress was smooth. However, in the process of advancing, Chongqing faced the situation of some provinces and municipalities contending for the project and there were too many imitations, follow-ups, and bids. This has virtually increased the cost of project introduction and objectively affected the government's interests," Mu Huaping said. “In view of this, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology urges the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to strengthen industrial planning and rational distribution, establish a coordination mechanism for the introduction of major projects, and avoid excessive competition.”

Guo Fuhua said: "Our view as an industry authority is that the western region does need some development and needs large-scale production, but we also raise doubts. We don't want to move a local enterprise to a place. It is a duplicate. We hope that after the introduction, or after the transfer, it will be greatly enhanced and it will be promoted at a high level so that it will be in line with the future direction."

Guo Fuhua implicitly criticized: "Otherwise, homogenous and vicious competition is not a very good development direction for China and Chongqing itself."

Guo Fuhua also surprisingly used the words "Chongqing Wolf" to describe the city's investment promotion. He feared that the introduction of these companies in Chongqing would relocate after producing some products within a short period of time. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the follow-up R&D and innovation issues.

According to the information held by the reporter of the "First Financial Daily", Chongqing City had indeed adopted a "wolf-type investment promotion" tactic in the process of attracting investment.

Guo Fuhua hopes that the current competition between Chengdu and Chengdu will develop in complementary directions. He said: “The Central Government regards Chengdu-Chongqing as a key development area for planning. Because now, to be honest, I also know that during the introduction process, Chengdu and your competition are very strong and even unscrupulous. But how can How do you interact with Chengdu to form a strong difference? This piece is very important."

Desiring Pen and Laptop Parts "Tax Reduction"

Chongqing Municipality also proposed to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology this time and hopes that the Ministry can coordinate and give greater tax support policies to the city.

The first tax policy requirement is that it hopes that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can coordinate the ministries and commissions to provide new tax transfer payments. The city believes that "Chongqing Laptop International Settlement Center has been 'grabbed' from abroad and will add hundreds of billions of yuan in taxes to the country each year. In Chongqing, in the construction of the new international major channel of Fujian and Shanghai, due to the lack of cargo volume in the initial period, Returning to the lack of air cargo and other factors, the Chongqing Municipal Government invested heavily in the earlier period, and for this reason, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was requested to report to the State Council to transfer the national tax transfer paid by the Hewlett-Packard pen and notebook industry to the Chongqing Municipal Government for earmarking and development of international major channels. To provide financial support for the industrial transformation of the entire inland region and for the opening of Europe."

Another tax policy need is to hope that the country can formulate tax policies that encourage the localization of laptop parts in Chongqing. At present, the notebook electricity industry in Chongqing has achieved 70% of the localization of parts and components. The city's other policy requirements this time are mainly focused on the "Great Channel of International Trade in Fuxin Europe" and the field of innovation.
