The Huangpu River keeps running, and the East China Sea surges forward. Thirty-year-old Pudong stands at a new starting point.

Thirty years ago, faced with the changing international environment and profound changes in the global economy, the CPC Central Committee made a major historical decision to develop and open Shanghai Pudong, which showed China’s firm determination and confidence in promoting reform and opening up, took a key step in promoting China’s reform, opening up and modernization, and opened a new chapter in China’s comprehensive deepening of reform and opening up. Today, 30 years later, Pudong is holding high the banner of development and opening up and is striving to create a new miracle of reform and opening up in the new era.

See China to Shanghai and Shanghai to Pudong. Over the past 30 years, the regional GDP has increased from 6 billion yuan in 1990 to 1.27 trillion yuan in 2019 … … Over the past 30 years, Pudong has persisted in eating reform meals, taking an open road and playing innovative cards, realizing earth-shaking changes and writing the China chapter of reform and opening up. The achievements of Pudong’s development and opening-up have profoundly explained that reform and opening-up is a key measure to determine the future and destiny of contemporary China, and fully demonstrated the institutional advantages and vigorous vitality of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Entering a new era, Pudong welcomes new opportunities.

Pudong in the new era shoulders the heavy responsibility of the country and the nation. Today, 30 years later, Pudong is in its prime. To establish Pudong, we should bear in mind the entrustment of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, hold high the banner of reform and opening up in the new era, continue to comprehensively deepen reform and expand opening up, be the main force of the "three major tasks", continue to run China International Import Expo(CIIE) well, and strive to become an open banner for China to promote and lead economic globalization; Promote high-quality development with modern economic system, create high-quality life with modern governance level, show the unique value of China concept and China plan on the road to modernization, and strive to become an important window for China to build a socialist modern power; Focusing on promoting the "five centers" and strengthening the "four functions", we will strive to become a functional highland for China’s deep integration into the global economic structure.

The decisive moment, cast the mainstay. At present, under the background of the domestic and international economic and social impact of the epidemic, Pudong, as the vanguard of the reform and opening up and the forerunner of the pioneers, has a great responsibility and mission. In Pudong’s dictionary, there has never been any difficulty or flinch. The boldness and motivation of reform and innovation in the new era have laid a solid foundation for Pudong to dare to venture and try, and no difficulties and obstacles can stop the pace of Pudong’s development.
