Henan: Enhance Facilities, Expand Cooperation
In order to accelerate the transformation of transportation location advantages into hub economic advantages, in recent years, Henan has successively issued and implemented the "Henan Province..."The "Modern Logistics Industry Development Plan for the 14th Five-Year Plan," "Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of a Strong Province in Modern Logistics," and "Policies to Support the Construction of a Strong Province in Modern Logistics" have ushered in a new chapter in building a strong province in modern logistics, creating advantages in hub economy, and promoting high-quality and rapid economic development.
Last yearIn June, the national "rice grain" high-speed railway network took shape in Henan, creating a 1-hour economic circle centered in Zhengzhou that radiates to 17 provincial-level cities in the province, a 2-hour economic circle connecting neighboring provincial capitals, and an 8-hour economic circle reaching major cities across the country. "The logistics industry has a wide range of fields, strong driving force, and great development potential, making it an advantageous industry in Henan," said Tang Xingli, Deputy Director of the Henan Provincial Development and Reform Commission. Striving to "build a logistics channel hub connecting domestic and foreign regions, and radiating to the east, central, and west, to make more contributions to the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt," Henan is focusing on strategic planning, improving facility layout, expanding open cooperation, and strengthening innovation-driven development to achieve breakthrough progress in the logistics industry.
In recent years, Henan has been actively pursuing the construction of a powerful logistics province, with frequent initiatives being introduced. The Henan Provincial Leading Group for the Development of the Service Industry has selected...34 logistics companies are being prioritized as the first batch of "Henan Logistics Corps" for intensive cultivation; Zhengzhou has been approved to build a national key international mail hub port, becoming the fourth international mail hub in China after Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou; cross-border rail freight trains operated across Henan are uniformly named "Zhongyu," establishing a land-port linkage development system and building a bridge for Henan to connect with Europe, Central Asia, and Southeast Asian countries and regions... To accelerate the construction of a comprehensive three-dimensional logistics channel system integrating air, rail, road, and water, Henan plans for 50 international cargo routes at Zhengzhou Airport by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, with the total length of expressways, railway lines, and inland waterways reaching 10,000 kilometers, 7,600 kilometers, and 2,000 kilometers respectively. The province also aims to expedite the construction of 10 national logistics hubs, 30 regional logistics hubs, and a number of comprehensive and specialized logistics parks, relying on logistics hubs to vigorously develop aviation, land-port, and port economies, and strive to create a national logistics hub economic demonstration area.
Henan Province's Department of Transport and Communications Second-level Inspector Yang Chunmei introduced that Henan will accelerate the construction of an integrated transportation network to facilitate the improvement of the comprehensive transportation system, ensuring the smooth flow of logistics channels.By the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the comprehensive transportation network will exceed 300,000 kilometers, with civil aviation airports forming a "one hub and multiple branches" development pattern. Full efforts are being made to advance the "rice kernel + well + human" shaped comprehensive transportation corridor and the Henan section of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network, promoting coordinated development of rail, road, waterways, and other modes, enhancing the overall efficiency and throughput capacity of the comprehensive transportation corridors. Efforts are also underway to ensure the smoothness of international open three-dimensional channels, increase international cargo flights, accelerate the construction of the Zhengzhou集结 center for the China-Europe rail freight and the new area of the international land port, creating a high-level new high ground for inland-type high-level opening-up.
