Plan of Revitalizing Northeast China

6.3 Coordinate construction of key inter-regional infrastructure

Extensive transportation system must be established. Focusing on building transport corridors and major hubs, we must consolidate the construction of railway network, expressway network, port system, airport system and corridors linking other regions. Six corridors, including Tongjiang-Dalian corridor, eastern corridor in Northeast China, Heihe-Beijing corridor, Suifenhe-Manzhouli corridor and Dandong-Xilinhot corridor must be priorities. Seven comprehensive transportation system must be formed as follows: coal transportation system must be built and renovated, with railways and expressways linking coal bases in eastern Inner Mongolia and the three major energy consumption provinces in Northeast, thus forming a system with powerful supporting capacity; oil transportation system must be enhanced with the construction of Russia-China crude oil railway system, Russian-China oil pipelines when appropriate, and enlargement of functions of Dalian and other major ports in oil loading, unloading and transit; efficient ore transportation system must be formed by actively building Dalian and Yingkou ore ports; efficient grain transportation system must be built relying on railway-water combined transport; efficient and convenient container transportation system must be established with Dalian as trunk-line port and other ports as supporting ones. We must also expedite customs clearance system; heavy-equipment transportation system must be set up and fast and convenient passenger transportation system must be established.

Construction of inter-regional transportation infrastructure must be advanced by improving railway network and rapid transportation network in city and towns clusters, and speeding up development of inter-provincial expressways. We plan to guide the rational division of functions among coastal ports in the Northeast and step up efforts to build small-sized airports.

Column 7 Planned Transportation Projects in Northeast China

Railway construction: to construct Harbin-Dalian passenger line, Changchun-Jilin inter-city rail transit, Yimin-Yirshi railway, Chifeng-Daban-Baiyinhua railway, Wulanhot-Huolinhe-Xilinhot railway, Fuxin-West Ujimqin league railway, railway corridor in the eastern part of the Northeast, and container load centers in Harbin, Shenyang and Dalian; to transform Hailar-Manzhouli, Baicheng-Arshan, Huolinhe-Tongliao, Jinzhou-Qiqihar, Jinzhou-Chengde, Shenyang-Jilin, Shenyang-Dandong, Yebaishou-Chifeng, Changchun-Tumen railways, etc.

Expressway construction: to construct expressways of Suifenhe-Manzhouli, Hegang-Dalian,Huichun-Wulanhot,Daqing-Tongliao-Chifeng-Chengde,Changchun-Shuangliao-Fuxin-Chaoyang-Chengde,Dandong-Xilinhot,Tongliao-Shenyang,Jilin-Shenyang, Jilin-Heihe, which are all key components in national expressway network plan.

Port construction: to transform the 3^rd and 4^thphases of Dayao container ports, old ports and eastern ports in Dalian, and expand Yingkou port, Dandong port and Jinzhou port.

Airport construction: to expand and improve airports of Dalian, Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin, as well as build new airports in Changbai Mountain, northwestern part of Jilin province, Mohe, Daqing, Jixi, Yichun, Arshan and Erenhot.

We must step up the construction of information infrastructure and accelerate the establishment of integrated information system in Northeast China. Integrated information application systems, such as E-government, e-commerce, distance education and distance medicare must be promoted. Cultural information sharing project must be implemented and by support from universities and research institutes. Northeast science, technology and education information network must be built and information-sharing with advanced regions must be strengthened.
