Optimizing and stabilizing the industrial chain supply chain is the focus of deepening the supply side structural reform and the key to achieving high-quality development. In the development plan for the utilization of foreign capital in the 14th five year plan released by the Ministry of Commerce recently, it is particularly emphasized that one of the basic principles followed in the plan is to adhere to the principle of stabilizing the service chain and fixing the chain in the utilization of foreign capital.
Focusing on “stabilizing and fixing the chain”, the plan mentioned that multinational corporations should give full play to their unique advantages in global allocation of resources, innovate the investment attraction mechanism around China’s key industrial chain supply chain, make better use of foreign capital to supplement, fix, strengthen and expand the chain, and improve the modernization level of industrial chain supply chain.
On November 16, 2021, the comprehensive construction activity of ExxonMobil Huizhou ethylene project was held simultaneously in Daya Bay, Huizhou, Guangdong, Beijing and Houston, USA, marking that the project has entered the stage of comprehensive formal construction. The project is the first petrochemical project wholly owned by ExxonMobil in China. It will produce high-performance polymers for packaging, automobile, agriculture, health and personal care consumer goods.
As a world-class chemical complex project with competitive advantages, the project includes a flexible feed steam cracking unit with an annual output of 1.6 million tons of ethylene and two sets of high-performance linear low-density polyethylene units with an annual output of 1.2 million tons, And one set of the world’s largest low-density polyethylene unit with an annual monomer output of 500000 tons and two sets of differentiated high-performance polypropylene units with an annual output of 950000 tons. After the project is completed and put into operation, it will inject strong impetus into Huizhou’s high-quality construction of a world-class green petrochemical industry base and a trillion level petrochemical energy and new material industry cluster, and also provide support for Guangdong’s construction of a world-class green petrochemical industry cluster.
While giving full play to the unique advantages of large foreign-funded projects and strengthening the chain, many national economic development zones are also as required in the plan: “give full play to the advantages of the opening platform of national economic development zones, carry out industrial chain investment promotion around leading industries and advantageous industries, and play a greater role in stabilizing foreign trade and foreign investment.”
The enterprise Western Metal Materials Co.Ltd(002149) development in Xi\’an Economic Development Zone was once limited by the impassability of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. At this time, the “chain length system” implemented in the park played a positive role. The so-called “chain leader system” means, on the one hand, strengthening cooperation with upstream enterprises by means of capital operation to ensure the stable supply of raw materials, on the other hand, coordinating internal and external resources, opening up the downstream “bottleneck” of the industrial chain and ensuring the steady improvement of production capacity.
In November 2021, the provincial “chain leader” of titanium and titanium alloy industry chain went to the Western metal materials company for investigation to learn more about technological innovation, product R & D and application scenarios, which provided an opportunity for the company to explore new development paths. Yang Jianchao, deputy general manager of Western Metal Materials Co.Ltd(002149) said that although the company has formed a production and sales system integrating smelting, forging and other links, there are still some shortcomings to be filled compared with the requirements of promoting the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry. On the one hand, we should “go up” and strengthen cooperation with sponge titanium production enterprises by means of capital operation to ensure the safe and stable supply of upstream raw materials. On the other hand, we should “go down”, coordinate internal and external resources, crack bottlenecks such as insufficient surface treatment and heat treatment capacity, and ensure the steady improvement of production capacity.
In order to further improve the development level of the industrial chain, Xi\’an Economic Development Zone has formulated a detailed work plan, which defines the responsibilities of the “chain leader system” of key industrial chains, the “chain leader” liaison and the work division table of the “chain leader system”, in order to supplement the industrial chain, enhance the innovation chain, stabilize the supply chain, comprehensively optimize the industrial ecology, and effectively solve the problems of small-scale manufacturing industry, low efficiency Lack of vitality, weak innovation, poor investment promotion and other problems, and deeply promote the industrial chain to supplement, strengthen, extend, increase and stabilize the chain.
In terms of supporting the chain stabilization and consolidation of border (cross-border) economic cooperation zones, the planning requires exploring the “group” rolling development mode, concentrating advantageous resources, focusing on leading industries, improving industrial chain supporting facilities, and exploring the formation and consolidation of sustainable development paths.
In order to better explore the “group group” rolling development mode, the bole Border Economic Cooperation Zone in Xinjiang, in view of the problems of inaccurate positioning and disorderly development in the past, the Management Committee of the border cooperation zone integrates the Golden Triangle Industrial Park (the main area of the border cooperation zone), Bole Wutai Industrial Park and East Industrial Park, and takes the border cooperation zone as the leader, with the development mode of one zone and three parks, Strengthen the economic function of the park, realize the dislocation development of industries and form a cohesive force. After the adjustment, some changes have taken place in the industrial planning of the three parks: the Golden Triangle Industrial Park mainly focuses on electronic intelligent manufacturing, stone circular economy and gold trade industry; Wutai Industrial Park focuses on new materials and new energy industries; East Industrial Park mainly focuses on the processing of agricultural and sideline products. As a result, the leading industries have been developed and new breakthroughs have been made in attracting investment.
Up to now, Bianhe district has invested 1.2 billion yuan to build the second phase of 300000 square meters of electronic industrial park; The third phase of the 200000 square meter electronic industrial park has been put into use in August 2021. At present, 15 electronic manufacturing enterprises have settled in, and 10 enterprises are waiting in line to settle in.
