In order to speed up the pace of revitalizing the old industrial base in Northeast China, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council designated Shenyang as a new municipality directly under the Central Government during the 11th Five-Year Plan period. According to the current situation and existing administrative divisions in Northeast China, as the largest city and the core city in Northeast China, it is imperative to be directly under the central government!

Shenyang municipality in the future will include Shenyang, Fushun and Tieling. There will be no prefecture-level cities in municipalities directly under the central government, only prefecture-level areas.

The new Shenyang will include Heping District (including Shenhe District), Dadong District, Huanggu District (including Tiexi District), Dongling District, Sujiatun District, Yuhong District, Xinchengzi District, Fushun District (including four districts of Fushun City and Fushun County), Tieling District (including Yinzhou District, Diaobingshan City and Tieling County), xinmin city and Kaiyuan City (including Qinghe District). 18 county (city) district. Among them, there are 9 municipal districts, 2 county-level cities and 5 counties. 2 autonomous counties. The total land area is 37,237 square kilometers and the total population is120,000.

The adjusted administrative division of Shenyang will make the city scale of "New Shenyang" reach 5-7 million urban population, thus becoming one of the megacities in China and the third largest city in China after Shanghai and Beijing.

Five years later, add more than ten?

Text/reporter Ouyang Bin

If more than a dozen municipalities really coexist in five years, the existing power and economic structure of the mainland will be completely changed, and the identity and development opportunities of hundreds of millions of people will also be changed because of this zoning change.

On September 29, 2003, the Financial Times reported that Du Gangjian, a professor at the National School of Administration, said that according to the "basically determined" reform plan, local governments may be divided and the number of municipalities directly under the Central Government may be increased where conditions permit. There will be municipalities directly under the central government and provincial governments, and there will be more sub-provincial cities. A number of cities with relatively developed economies have applied, hoping to expand the scope of zoning in the process of "direct administration".

Since Chinese mainland established Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1954, it has maintained the stability of the municipality system for nearly 50 years (there were only two changes in the middle: during the period of 1958- 1966, Tianjin was revoked as the capital of Hebei; 1997 Chongqing is added as a municipality directly under the central government due to the need of Three Gorges construction. According to the current laws of Chinese mainland, the establishment, revocation and renaming of municipalities directly under the Central Government are led by the State Council, with the participation of relevant ministries and commissions. On the basis of repeated investigation and study and soliciting opinions from relevant parties, the best scheme is selected and drawn up. Finally, a bill was proposed in the name of Premier the State Council and submitted to the National People's Congress for deliberation and decision. Therefore, the information disclosed by research participants is authoritative.

Du Gangjian, a special researcher in the Research Office of the National People's Congress, was one of the drafters of the report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and participated in the research on the reform plan of the national administrative management system. The report caused a shocking reaction and was reprinted by many domestic media. "Which city will become the fifth municipality directly under the Central Government of China" soon became a hot topic of discussion, and citizens of Qingdao and Suzhou began to celebrate online.

However, when our reporter asked Du Gangjian about this matter, Du strongly denied that he had said that the reform plan was "basically settled", "local zoning", "sub-central and provincial municipalities directly under the central government" and "sub-provincial municipalities directly under the central government" were not correct at all, nor did he say that the establishment of municipalities directly under the central government was imminent. Du Gangjian declared: "The Financial Times misunderstood me." .

10/0/month 13, the reporter interviewed Du Gangjian at his home.

Reporter: You said that the information in the media is wrong, so the establishment of a municipality directly under the Central Government is just a media catch the wind?

Du: Not exactly. Now scholars are appealing, officials are aware of this problem, and some local cities are also promoting it. However, there is still a process to really increase the number of municipalities directly under the central government, which needs detailed study. But the Third Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee will not discuss this issue. The Financial Times misunderstood my meaning.

Reporter: What's the progress of the central authorities on the reform of administrative divisions?

Du: These problems are still under study. Now some media say there is a "basic plan", which is not my original words. The reform of administrative divisions has been done, and many reforms below the provincial level have been done, but they have not been taken seriously.

Reporter: So the increase of municipalities in China is inevitable?

Du: Of course. It will take about five years to start a large-scale increase. Which cities should be directly under the central government, which cities should not be studied, which powers should be released and which powers should be collected, should be continuously explored in practice. The adjustment of administrative divisions will touch the redistribution of interests and encounter great resistance, but the adjustment must be adjusted and keep pace with the times on this issue.

Reporter: You said that the formulation of "provincial municipalities directly under the central government" was misunderstood by the media, so all the newly added municipalities directly under the central government are central municipalities? How many municipalities will be added?

Du: Yes, all municipalities will be added. At present, prefecture-level cities are equivalent to provincial cities, so I will not propose new "provincial cities" or "sub-provincial municipalities". As for the number of municipalities directly under the central government, it is difficult to tell you now. Generally speaking, it can be explained by a comparison: there are too few municipalities directly under the Central Government in China, with only four municipalities, while Japanese have 12.

Reporter: What is the local mentality about setting up a municipality directly under the Central Government?

Du: Of course, the local government is very willing. From the administrative level alone, and the province is a level, which will bring a series of resources and status promotion. As for the mentality of the province, we can give an example: the study of establishing Chongqing municipality directly under the central government has been going on for several years, but from the first year of the motion, Sichuan Province cut off all investment and project investment in Chongqing.

Reporter: Why should we set up more municipalities directly under the Central Government? Why is the establishment of a municipality directly under the central government a major adjustment in the relationship between the central and local governments?

Du: The more municipalities directly under the central government, the greater the authority of the central government, because the more cities it directly manages. At present, it is very difficult for the central government to implement some policies in some areas, which can be said to be very difficult. The problem is that there are too few municipalities directly under the central government. At the same time, the establishment of the municipality directly under the Central Government has also improved the autonomy of the city itself. It is the administrative division authority at the provincial level that has been reduced. Future power should be concentrated at both ends of the central government and cities. The central government should strengthen the authority of macro-control and local governments should increase their autonomy. The power of provincial administrative divisions should be appropriately reduced.

The provincial administrative divisions in China have not changed much. For a long time, only Chongqing municipality was established. Now with the development of economy, especially the development of regional economy, great changes have taken place, such as the rapid development of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. However, the existing administrative divisions, administrative levels and administrative obstacles are not conducive to sustainable economic development and comprehensive allocation of resources.
