In the Report on the Work of Government 2019, for the first time, it is explicitly stated that “we will elevate the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta to the status of national strategy and design and implement an overall development plan”. This means that in addition to the integrated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the integration of the Yangtze River Delta has been incorporated into the national strategies of economic development. Such status will certainly further promote the integration of the Yangtze River Delta. So, what are the goals of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta? What’s the positioning of building the demonstration zone designated for the integration of the Yangtze River Delta? What should we do to promote the integration of the Yangtze River Delta? The In-depth discussion of these issues is of great strategic significance for better promoting the high quality integration of the Yangtze River Delta. Professor Liu Zhibiao, Dean of Yangtze IDEI, held professional and in-depth discussions with experts, scholars and entrepreneurs on these issues.
