Popis: Over the 40 years of the reform and opening-up, China’s regional economies were developed in gradients in the early years and then reached coordinated development through a major strategic transition. To realize this strategic transition, the Chinese government had initially encouraged the eastern area to develop first, and based on this development, implemented the strategies of large-scale development of the west, the rise of central China and revitalization of the old industrial bases including the northeast one by one while at the same time pushing for the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei (Jingjinyi) and development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt with the establishment of functional areas, and proactively supporting the acceleration of the development of old revolutionary base areas, areas with concentrations of ethnic minorities, border areas, and areas with relatively high incidences of poverty (old-minority-border-poor areas), resulting gradually in a multi-layered strategic framework for regional development and offering a strong hand to the coordinated development of regional economies. After the practice of the reform and opening-up for 40 years with numerous explorations, China has now found a path with Chinese characteristics to diverse, gradual and coordinated regional development, achieved great effects in promoting coordinated regional development, laid a solid foundation for common prosperity of all regions and offered the China wisdom, the Chinese approach and generally applicable helpful experiences for other developing countries to realize their own coordinated regional development.
