A roadmap for development

Strict regulations on ecological conservation and the optimal usage of resources is key to developing China's western region

The State Council's recent stress on speeding up the development of the country's western region, a program that was mapped out and launched in 1999, is aimed at boosting the economic and social status of the underdeveloped area.

Ten years after the initiative, China's eastern regions are witnessing slower demand growth, increased pollution levels and rising raw material prices, a lull brought on after two decades of boom following the reform and opening-up policy.

In this context, the initiative is a timely effort aimed at narrowing the yawning economic disparity between the developed east and the underdeveloped west, and promoting a more balanced and coordinated development roadmap for the country as a whole.

China's western provinces are poised to grow faster despite lagging the coastal regions in development terms.

The western regions' ecology has improved remarkably in the past decades due to the many afforestation programs launched by the central and local governments, and efforts to turn some of the land devoted to farming back into forests and grasslands.

There has also been tangible progress in infrastructure construction in these regions over the past decades, with better expressway, railway and aviation networks and interconnected irrigation, power and telecommunication facilities.

Due to the implementation of the national compulsory education policy as well as educational assistance from other parts of the country, the quality of education in the western regions is substantially better, and it is playing a positive role in channeling local human resources.

Because of their inherent advantages in energy, mineral resources, tourism and culture, the western provinces have developed distinct pillar industries such as coal, and oil and gas.

Some large power generation and transmission projects too have been successfully executed in these regions.

Yet, the area lags others in economic and social indices.

Compared with the booming and highly industrialized eastern region, the western provinces are still at the agro-pastoral stage of development and are thereby largely poor.

For instance, the per capita incomes of urban and rural residents in Gansu province are just 71 and 51 percent, respectively, that of their eastern counterparts.

The western regions still have a long way to go before they can achieve the per capita gross domestic product target of $3,000 and become an affluent region by 2020, a goal mapped out by the central government.
