Finding What's Best to Lead Nation's West CHINA DAILY | HONG KONG EDITION Wednesday, July 31, 2019 | 7 years onYEARS ON CHONGQING Editor's Note: As the People’s Republic of China prepares to celebrate its 70th anniversary on Oct 1, China Daily is featuring a series of stories on the role regions have played in the country’s development and where they are today. Finding what’s best to lead nation’s west Municipality seeks solutions to lift less­developed areas out of poverty By TAN YINGZI in Chongqing [email protected] Until three years ago, Meng Min could barely have imagined return­ ing home to Chongqing to start up a company. The former chief scientist at Covance, one of the world’s larg­ est drug development companies, had studied and worked in the Unit­ ed States for 24 years. But attracted by China’s fast­ growing pharmaceutical industry and favorable local policies, Meng returned to her hometown in 2016 and started her own bio­analytical laboratory, Chongqing Denali Med­ pharma, in the city’s development zone. “Chongqing is the youngest municipality in China. You can reach your goals here if you have sol­ id knowledge and skills,” she said. Back in 1980s when Meng was a high school student, Chongqing, on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, was just another polluted industrial city known for its large motor and vehicle manufacturing An aerial view of cars parked at Guoyuan Port in Chongqing, waiting to be transported to other parts of the country along the Yangtze River.

  • 1 Researching State Rescaling in China
    Researching state rescaling in China: methodological reflections Kean Fan Lim School of Geography University of Nottingham Sir Clive Granger Building, University Park, NG7 2RD UK Tel: +44(0)115 9515428 Fax: +44(0)115 9515249 [email protected] 15 September 2017 Accepted for publication in Area Development and Policy Abstract: This paper foregrounds and evaluates the research design associated with the study of Chinese state rescaling. It first synthesizes the existing gaps in the original, western- based state rescaling framework. The paper then explores how different methodological channels are integrated to support a revised analytical framework. Specifically, it presents the value of multi-sited comparisons through (a) the ‘extended case method’ and (b) the role of the ‘concurrent nested approach’ to data collection. In so doing, the paper offers a systematic assessment of the methodological contributions and constraints in ascertaining and explaining how regulatory reconfigurations unfold across space and time in China. Key words: state rescaling; research design; extended case method; policy experimentation fieldwork; China Acknowledgements This paper has benefited significantly from the comments and suggestions by the editors of Area Development and Policy and the four anonymous reviewers. I would like to thank Trevor Barnes and Jamie Peck for supervising this project as part of my doctoral dissertation at the University of British Columbia. While the process of fieldwork was dynamic, the care and encouragement from my wife, Stephanie Lim, remained a constant guiding light for which I am always grateful. 1 1. Introduction Since the mid-1970s, advanced economies in western Europe and North America have been experiencing a transition from a nationally-configured, Fordist-Keynesian developmental approach towards a ‘flexible’ mode of production based in and around city-regions.

But China remains one of the top investment hotspots in the world, despite ongoing trade and other disputes the country faces. While it is true that companies and countries are relocating or building up additional supply chains to lessen their dependence on China, it is also a fact that no other country has the industrial capacity, growing middle class and growth potential. The Chinese market attracts the most foreign direct investment and it well may do so for many years to come, given the large untapped markets in the central and western part of the country. Earlier this year, Premier Li Keqiang mentioned that there are 600 million Chinese citizens living with RMB 1,000 of monthly disposable income. While this may sounds surprising, it also shows the potential that Chinese inner regions have for the future. Investing in China and selling to the Chinese consumers is something that makes sense for companies from around the world. The development zones listed in this directory are here to support and help foreign investors to deal with the unique challenges in the Chinese market.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 220 3rd International Conference on Education, E-learning and Management Technology (EEMT 2018) Landmark Food and the Construction of Food Tourism City of Chongqing Ma Jianlin Chongqing Business Vocational College, Chongqing 4001331 Keywords: Landmark food; food Tourism; city construction Abstract. The concept and formation of landmark food has been recognized by most people. Among the six elements of tourism, food is indispensable for people’s life, and is also dominated in tourism income. Combining the development of landmark food and local tourism in Chongqing, this paper put forward the importance of developing food Tourism in Chongqing, and proposed to develop food tourism according to the regional differentiation, create landmark food stores and special food street to build a city for food Tourism and enhances the image of city tourism. 1. Introduction Tourism has become an indispensable part of people’s life. It the era of mass tourism, people travel frequently and have accumulated a wealth of experience. Meanwhile, the demand for tourism has gradually become personalized and diverse. How people interpret tourism changes greatly. Travelers are no longer satisfied with the traditional way of tourism, that is, get a hurried and cursory glance at the scenery, but prefer to obtain spiritual and cultural satisfaction through tourism. Tourism motives are gradually diversified. And food Tourism which aims at enjoyment and experience has gradually become the mainstream of tourism. In 2017, according to the sample survey statistics, the average overnight spending of domestic tourists reached 1369.84 Yuan per capita.
