Section II  Guiding Ideologies and Objectives of Revitalization

    2.1 Guiding ideologies

    With Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thoughts of "Three Representatives" as the major guiding ideologies, we will step up economic and social progress by applying the scientific outlook of development and the theory of building a harmonious socialist society, thus promoting all-round revitalization in Northeast China. The guiding ideologies also involve six aspects: first, to transform development philosophies and enhance economic vitality through deepening reform and open-up; secondly, to improve independent innovation capability and promote restructuring while centering on revitalizing old industrial bases; thirdly, to solve demanding economic and social problems by accelerating economic transformation in resource-depleted cities; fourthly, to start with raising peoples' living standards and gradually establish a moderately well-off society in an all-around manner; fifthly, to promote balanced development between urban and rural areas and address regional disparity with establishing a new socialist countryside as a priority; sixthly, to enhance capability of sustainable development by boosting a recycling economy.

    In line with these guiding ideologies, several major measures should be adopted to solve the pronounced contradictions and problems in the revitalization process:

    First, pace of reform and open-up will be accelerated. We must deepen institutional reforms by establishing modern enterprise system and ownership structure, promoting strategic restructuring of state-owned sector, and cultivating non-public economy. We must increase development vitality by opening up more in both domestic and foreign markets.

    Secondly, efforts will be enhanced in restructuring and upgrading of industries. We must enhance independent innovation capability by upgrading and optimizing industrial structure. We must also enhance overall competitiveness of industries by spreading the use of information technologies and adopting new models of industrialization.

    Thirdly, regional cooperation will be intensified. Efforts should be made to establish regional coordination and interactive mechanisms, remove administrative barriers, and promote fast flow of resources and factors of production. In addition, we must also enhance regional cooperation and balanced development by co-building and co-using infrastructure facilities.

    Fourthly, economic transformation in resource-depleted cities will be accelerated. Measures will be taken to establish compensation system for resources development and aiding system for sunset industries, and cultivate the growth of alternative industries. We must also boost more employment and deliver more complete urban functions, thus making resource-based cities experience sustainable development.

    Fifthly, a resources-saving and environment-friendly society will be constructed. State policies of resources conservation and environment protection must be fully enforced. We must also strengthen efforts in developing recycling economy, ecological development and environmental conservation so as to achieve coordinated development of economy, society and environment.

    Sixthly, education, healthcare, culture, sport and other social undertakings will be advanced. We must improve social security net, expand employment, and promote democracy and rule of law. By promoting social stability and harmony, we must also let more people share the benefits of revitalization as well as all-around individual development.
