Big-picture Thinking
以更大格局为推手
April 1st, 2022 marked the fifth anniversary of the Zhengzhou Area of China (Henan) Pilot Free Trade Zone. After years of exploration, the Zhengzhou Area has become fertile ground for institutional innovation, powering the economic development of the whole province.
2022年4月1日，河南自贸试验区郑州片区挂牌成立五周年。经过多年的探索，郑州片区已成为制度创新的“高产田”，为全省经济发展注入强劲动力。
In 2021, nearly 16,000 new enterprises were registered, and more than 40 new innovations were made in the Zhengzhou Area, while utilized foreign investment reached USD1.301 billion, a year-on-year increase of 13.3%, and foreign trade exceeded 40 billion yuan. System integration reforms of the four silk roads, cross-border e-commerce, futures trading, and business climate continue to be at the forefront of the country.
2021年，郑州片区新增注册企业1.6万家，实际利用外资13.01亿美元，同比增长13.3%，外贸进出口400多亿元。新增创新成果40多项，“四路协同”、跨境电商、期货交易、营商环境等领域的系统集成改革继续走在全国前列。
By the end of 2021, there were 91,000-odd newly registered enterprises in the Zhengzhou Area, four times more than before the establishment of the Pilot Free Trade Zone, with an average of about 80 new ones per day. Though occupying only 1% of the city's land area, the Zhengzhou Area has contributed 20% of newly registered enterprises and 30% of foreign-funded enterprises and foreign investment to Zhengzhou.
截至2021年年底，郑州片区累计新注册企业突破9.1万家，是自贸试验区成立前的4倍，平均每天新注册企业约80家。河南自贸区郑州片区以全市1%的土地面积，贡献了20%的新注册企业、30%的外资企业和利用外资。

At the same time, Zhengzhou continues to implement new projects. In 2021, Zhengzhou signed 197 manufacturing projects, each worth more than 100 million yuan, with BYD, xFusion and other companies, with a total contract value of 218.4 billion yuan, accounting for more than one-third of the investment attracted by the city. Two hundred and eighty-one projects, including the Regional Headquarters of UIT, started construction; 284 projects, including Futaihua's 5G mobile phone precision mechanisms, were put into production; and 577 "three major transformation" projects, including the ZMJ's smart factory of fully mechanized mining equipment, are advancing smoothly. The investment in technological upgrades accounted for over 40% of the total industrial investment. In 2022, Zhengzhou will promote 900 major industry and information projects and guide the implementation of more than 500 technological upgrade projects. In addition, Zhengzhou's Longhu Financial Island, known as Henan's version of Lujiazui since its first design, officially opened on March 4th.
与此同时，郑州坚持落实新项目。2021年，签约比亚迪、超聚变等亿元以上制造业项目197个，签约额2184亿元，占全市招商引资额三分之一以上。创新科区域总部等281个项目开工建设，富泰华5G手机精密机构件等284个项目建成投产，郑煤机综采装备智能工厂等577个“三大改造”项目顺利实施，技改投资占工业投资比重达40%以上。2022年将统筹推进900个重大工业和信息化项目，引导企业实施技改项目500个以上。另外，自规划以来就被称为“河南版陆家嘴”的郑州龙湖金融岛已于3月4日正式“开门纳客”。
Looking at the big picture, Zhengzhou is expanding opening up in all aspects.
郑州，正以更大的格局为推手，全力提升对外开放的能级。
Innovation in rules and regulations以规制创新为引领
In recent years, Zhengzhou has greatly improved its business environment, pushed forward reforms to ensure that all related services can be accessed on one website, enriched the application scenarios of the "Zhenghaoban" app, and upgraded the "Qinqing Online" platform to benefit both people and enterprises. In addition, Zhengzhou has enhanced the efficiency of e-government services, optimized the government service hotline, and fully implemented the joint acceptance model that one lead agency coordinates other related departments to finish approval within a limited period. In March 2022, Zhengzhou was identified as an innovation demonstration city for optimizing the business environment in Henan Province.
近年来，郑州大力优化营商环境，深化“一件事一网通办”改革，丰富“郑好办”APP应用场景，建设惠企惠民直达平台“亲清在线”，持续推进网上政务服务能力提升，优化政务服务便民热线，全面落实“一家牵头、并联审批、限时办结”的联合验收模式等。2022年3月，郑州已被确定为河南省优化营商环境创新示范市。

To boost urban development, the Zhengzhou Metropolitan Area will expand from "1 4" to "1 8" cities. While creating a "soft environment" for business, Zhengzhou will continue to cultivate "hard power". The "1 8" Zhengzhou Metropolitan Area will be built along the lines of one central city, one sub-central city, one belt, and multiple points.
深度融合城市发展，郑州都市圈将由“1 4”扩容拓展为“1 8”。在打造营商“软环境”的同时，持续培育发展“硬实力”，“1 8”郑州都市圈的发展格局，将按照极核带动、轴带提升、对接周边的思路，着力构建“一核一副一带多点”的空间格局。
A new development goal has been set for the expanded Zhengzhou Metropolitan Area. By 2025, the GDP of Zhengzhou National Central City is expected to reach 2 trillion yuan, and the GDP of Zhengzhou Metropolitan Area is predicted to reach 6 trillion yuan. The Zhengzhou-Kaifeng-Xuchang core area will increase in strength and take full advantage of the regional coordinated development mechanism to become the core engine supporting and leading the integrated and high-quality development of the Central China City Cluster. By 2035, Zhengzhou will evolve into a national central city with international influence, and the Zhengzhou Metropolitan Area will be built into a modern metropolitan area featuring high-quality economic development, high-level openness and innovation, high-quality public services, high-standard ecological environment, and high-efficiency collaborative governance.
扩容后的郑州都市圈有了新的发展目标：到2025年，郑州国家中心城市GDP力争达到2万亿元，郑州都市圈GDP力争达到6万亿元，郑汴许核心引擎综合实力显著增强，区域协调发展机制有效发挥，成为支撑引领中原城市群一体化高质量发展的核心动力源。到2035年，郑州基本建成具有国际影响力的国家中心城市，郑州都市圈建成经济发展高质量、开放创新高层次、公共服务高品质、生态环境高水平、协同治理高效能的现代化都市圈。
While keeping in line with international high-standard economic and trade rules, Zhengzhou will work to promote the relocation of state-owned enterprise headquarters to Zhengzhou, deepen cooperation with foreign-funded enterprises, bring in "unicorn" companies, and continue to contract high-quality investment projects.
郑州在不断对接国际高标准经贸规则，同时争取央企总部迁郑、深化外资企业合作、力争引进独角兽企业、继续签约高质量招商项目。
In addition to top companies, Zhengzhou also welcomes the greatest minds. Over the past few years, Zhengzhou has repeatedly emphasized that investment promotion and talent attraction should be advanced in parallel.
企业“引进来”，人才也要“请进来”。郑州几年来多次提出招商引资和招才引智要齐头并进。

Underpinned by opening up based on rules and related institutions and the implementation of talent and project policies, Zhengzhou has delivered results in terms of technology, talent and market, increasing its international competitiveness and offering a new model of all-round opening up in China.
既有“制度型开放”引领，又有“人才 项目”同步落地，郑州在科技、人才及市场等方面多维度发力，不仅使之在国际舞台上越来越具有核心竞争力，也将为中国的全方位对外开放提供新范本。
