General Secretary Xi Jinping, emphasized at symposium on solidly advancing the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta that implementing YD Integrated Development should stick to the two key words of integration and high quality, and use integrated ideas and measures to break administrative barriers and enhance policy coordination, allowing factors to flow smoothly on a larger scale, which is conducive to giving full play to the comparative advantages of various regions, achieving a more rational division of labor, gathering a stronger synergy, and promoting high-quality development. There exists a close relationship between integration and high quality, that is, high-quality development must rely on the integrated development. Through market integration and government policy coordination on this basis, the Yangtze River Delta region can exert comparative advantages to realize a rational industrial division of labor. The main ideas and measures to implement the high-quality integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta are as follows: firstly, break the existing administrative barriers and improve the level of policy coordination; secondly, promote the market-based integration process, especially the market-based reform of factors, so that the factors can flow smoothly on a larger scale; thirdly, resolve the problem of uneven regional development in accordance with local conditions and classification.
