口岸經濟來到咱身邊

口岸經濟來到咱身邊

去年9月，隨著“渝新歐”首趟原裝進口汽車整車班列抵達重慶沙坪壩團結村，重慶鐵路口岸正式宣告掛牌運行?，F在，重慶是中國內陸地區唯一一個擁有航空、水運、鐵路三大類國家級口岸的城市，立體口岸體系逐步趨于完善。

逐步趨于完善的立體口岸體系，改變著重慶對外開放的格局，也改變著重慶人的生活?！翱诎督洕币矎囊粋€對大多數重慶人來說的陌生名詞，成為了重慶人必須要重視的一個大領域。

2014年9月1日，市委書記孫政才在調研重慶鐵路口岸建設和運行情況時強調，要壯大口岸經濟，加快建設內陸開放高地。根據研究，未來“十三五”乃至更長時間，口岸經濟將成為重慶經濟社會發展的強勁動力和引擎。

什么是口岸和口岸經濟？口岸的本意是指由國家指定的對外通商的沿海港口。這就是說，以前的口岸幾乎都在沿海。但現在不一樣了，內陸城市重慶也有了口岸?，F在口岸的含義也廣多了，不僅僅是經濟貿易往來(即通商)的商埠，還包括政治、外交、科技、文化、旅游和移民等方面的往來港口。簡單地說，口岸就是由國家指定對外往來的“門戶”，是國際貨物運輸的樞紐。從某種程度上說，它是一種特殊的國際物流結點?？诎督洕且钥诎稙楹诵?，直接或間接依托口岸而存在和發展的跨行業、跨地域、多層次的復合型經濟。

擁有對外通商的口岸是一個國家或地區開放的標志和平臺。從1980年重慶市第一個對外開放的一類口岸——重慶港水運口岸誕生，到現在重慶已經擁有重慶江北國際機場航空口岸、寸灘港水運口岸、團結村鐵路口岸三大一類口岸?？诎督洕陌l展，將極大地帶動重慶經濟社會跨越發展。

然而現在，口岸經濟實實在在地來到了咱老百姓身邊：買奢侈品、洋品牌，你不用跑國外，就到重慶保稅商品展示交易中心即可；買國際大牌轎車，你不用到德國，也不用到天津、上海、廣州港口提貨，就在重慶的團結村就可以提車，而且價格還能低一兩成；買進口水果、肉類，你直接到重慶寸灘的進口水果及肉類制定口岸即可……

口岸就在咱家門口。如今，在重慶人的生活理念中，就多了一項思維：口岸經濟?？诎督洕鷮χ貞c人來說雖然還是一個新領域，但你必須樹立這樣一個意識：口岸經濟已經來到我們身邊，這不僅關系到咱老百姓買外國貨、奢侈品、高檔轎車，還和我們找工作、創業以及企業拓展等息息相關?？诎督洕鷮⑸疃扔绊懼貞c未來的發展。

有專家說，沒有產業的“口岸”與“經濟”必然是割裂的，沒有產業支撐的口岸經濟只能是“過路經濟”，是不可持續的。最近，重慶提出了依托口岸大力發展的十大產業業態，包括高端制造業態、貿易新業態、現代服務業態、現代物流業態、跨境旅游會展業態等等，這些在未來都會與咱老百姓息息相關。

口岸經濟，就在咱老百姓身邊。

Port Economy Comes to Chongqing

Last September, as the first Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe train of originally imported cars arrived at Tuanjie Village, Shapingba, Chongqing, the Chongqing Railway Port was officially inaugurated. Now, Chongqing is the only city with national-level air, water and railway ports in the Chinese hinterland and its three-dimensional port system is being completed.

The ever-improving three dimensional port system is changing Chongqing’s landscape of opening-up as well as its lifestyle. Being a new area, the “port economy” is also a key area requiring local people’s attention.

On September 1, 2014, Sun Zhengcai, Secretary of the CPC Chongqing Committee stressed during a site tour to Chongqing’s railway port construction and operation that we need to strengthen the port economy and accelerate the construction of an inland highland of opening-up. According to the research, in the 13th Five Year Plan period and a long time in the future, the port economy will become a strong impetus and engine toward economic and social development in Chongqing.

So, what are ports and port economy? The term “port” was once literally the coastal wharf assigned by the country for foreign trade, which means that the previous ports were almost located by the sea. Now it is different. Though an inland city, Chongqing has its own port too. The word means not only a trading port for economic transactions, but also indicates an exchange port for politics, diplomacy, technology, culture, tourism and immigration. Simply put, ports are “portals” assigned by the country for foreign exchange and hubs for international cargo transportation. To some degree, it is a special international logistics node. Port economy is a composite economy cored upon the port and exists and thrives by direct or indirect reliance on the port.

Owning foreign trade ports are an icon and a platform for the opening-up of a country or a region. From the birth of Chongqing Water Port, the first opened Class-I port in Chongqing in 1980 to three Class-I ports of Jiangbei International Airport, Cuntan Water Port and Tuanjie Village Railway Port, one can easily see Chongqing’s economic and social leaps.

Today, port economy has tangibly come to us. One does not need to travel abroad to buy luxuries and foreign brands, Chongqing Bonded Commodity Display and Transaction Center will suffice. Delivery of world renowned sedans does not necessarily happen in Tianjin, Shanghai or Guangzhou ports, but here in Tuanjie Village, Chongqing with 10% or 20% discount. Consumers looking for imported fruits and meat can just step into the imported fruit and meat port in Cuntan...

The port is already here. Today, Chongqing people have one new idea in daily life: port economy. Though a new area, we must realize: port economy is just around us, which is not only relevant to our purchase of foreign commodities, luxuries and premium cars, but also relevant to employment, entrepreneurship and business development. Port economy will deeply influence the future development of Chongqing.

According to some experts, the port without industry can never develop well, which means port economy unsupported with industry is quite transient and not sustainable. Recently, Chongqing calls for 10 major industrial modes based on ports, including high-end manufacturing mode, new trade mode, modern service industry mode, modern logistics mode and cross border tourism and exposition mode, etc, which will have direct impact on people’s life in the future.

Port economy is right here with us.
