以重庆为起点的中欧班列（渝新欧班列）成功运行，对丝绸之路经济带建设运行起到了先行先试作用。

记者在紫荆杂志位于黄泥磅的办公室里见到了紫荆杂志重庆联络站主任徐家强，这位经验丰富的记者呷着一口茶，谈起了对重庆发展的看法。

他说，不久前，搭载80辆进口奔驰、宝马、大众汽车的中欧班列（渝新欧班列）从德国的杜伊斯堡车站出发顺利抵达重庆，这是7月1日国务院正式批准重庆市为汽车整车进口口岸后由铁路进入重庆的首批进口汽车，这个首次在中国西部内陆地区设立的整车口岸使重庆成为拥有水、陆（包括铁路）、航空三栖立体开放平台的内陆特大城市，有望成为西部地区名符其实的开放高地。

他谈到，在《中共中央关于全面深化改革若干重大问题的决定》(简称《决定》)的“扩大内陆沿边开放”章节中，“两带一路”（指丝绸之路经济带、长江经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路）推进建设成为中国未来经济发展的“国家战略”。以重庆为起点的中欧班列（渝新欧班列）成功运行，对丝绸之路经济带建设运行起到了先行先试作用。渝新欧作为一条国际物流铁路大通道，与沿途6个国家签订并已经开始运行的“定起点、定终点、定路径、定价格、定时间”的“五定班列”，不仅提高了重庆的国际认知度，更确立了重庆在中国西部大开发中的“中心地位”。

徐家强还表示，从中国区域经济发展的历史看，都是以中心城市带动区域经济和城市发展，就如深圳带动了珠三角，上海带动了长三角一样，在中国的西部十二省区中也需要一个这样的城市来引领，西部内陆城市中，成都、昆明、西安和重庆都可能成为这个城市。应当说，重庆直辖和“中国城乡统筹示范区”为重庆成为“中心”奠定了基础，以重庆为起点的中欧班列（渝新欧班列）和重庆作为长江黄金水道上游，货物吞吐和周转规模最大的航运中心，加之重庆在正在建设的郑渝昆铁路为依托的向南开放大通道上的“重要节点”功能，重庆作为中国内陆“开放高地”和中国西部大开发的“中心城市”将由可能变为现实。

最后他补充到，“山城重庆”在中国内地和海外小有名气。重庆美女、重庆夜景和重庆火锅等许多城市特质让到过这里的人记忆深刻。城市建设、城市交通、城市功能的完善也让人们能感受到中国改革开放给内陆城市带来的巨大变化和影响。外商、港商、台胞在重庆的常住人口中已实现了从“稀有”到“拥有”的转变。开放的口岸、保税港区、立体交通、国家级开发区等功能性开放平台将吸引更多海外人士来共同参与重庆打造内陆开放高地的进程。

Our reporter had an interview with Xu Jiaqiang, the Director of Chongqing Of fi ce of Hongkong Bauhinia Magazine, talking about his views on the development of Chongqing.

The State Council officially approved Chongqing to be the automobile import port on July 1.The Central European trains (Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europeantrain) shipped 80 imported Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen from Duisburg in Germany to Chongqing not long ago, it is the first batch of import cars shipped to Chongqing by rail. Chongqing is expected to become truly open highland in the Western region.

Mr. Xu Jianqiang said, in the chapters of “Expanding the Open Interior Borde” from the Decision on several major issues of deepening reform by the CPC Central Committee (the Decision), in which the "Two Zones One road" (a reference to the silk road economy zone, the Yangtze River economic zone and the 21st century Silk Road on the sea) is promoted to be the "national strategies of China's future economic development. Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe as an international railway, which signed with 6 countries has already begun running the "five block trains" (setting the start point, setting the terminal, fixed-price, fixed-time, fixed path).Not only did it promote the international awareness of Chongqing, but also established the " central position " of Chongqing in the West China development.

He also indicated that from the perspective of regional economic development history in China, they are all based on the central cities to promote regional economic and urban development, it’s like Shenzhen to drive the Pearl River Delta, as well as Shanghai to drive in the Yangtze River Delta, Chongqing, Chengdu, Kunming, Xi’An could also be the one that’s to drive the inland Western China.Chongqing as a municipality and the "demonstration area of city and countryside overall plan" laid a good foundation for Chongqing to become the "Center”. Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe railway and Chongqing as maximum scale of turnover shipping center in the Yangtze River gold waterways upstream, and the "important node" function of the construction of Zhengzhou-Chongqing-Kunming railway, it as the "open Highland" of inland China and "Center City" in the West China development may become reality.

In the end he also said that the mountain city Chongqing is famous in Mainland China and overseas. The beauty, night view and hot pot make the city impressive. The urban development, urban traffic, improvement of the city function made people feel the great changes and effect to the inner-city brought by China's reform.

The number of foreigners, Hong Kong and Taiwan residents in Chongqing has increased a lot. Open ports, bonded port, transportation, functional open platforms such as these state-level development zones will attract more overseas investors to participate in the processes of building Chonfqing to be the inland open highland.
