중국 일대일로 거점도시별 산업특화에 따른 발전전략

초록

In implementing development policies related to the country’s “One Belt, One Road” or “New Silk Road” initiative, most regional governments in China usually do not take strategic and comparative advantage over one another into account. This general phenomenon has engendered inefficient use of resources on a national level, largely due to duplicated investments. In order to resolve this problem, it is necessary to examine the degree of industrial and regional specialization within the national economy. China’s regional development strategy is characterized by clustering cities based on their regional competitiveness measured by the Location Quotient (LQ), and is aimed at building networks of the focus cities within a cluster. However, in Western China which belongs to the Land Silk Road Economic Belt, the size of the economy of Chongqing, Chengdu, or Xi’an is incomparably larger than that of any other cities’. Accordingly, it is questionable whether the cluster-based local economic development strategy is to be successful in this region. Conversely, not only is the pattern of specialization among industries in the focus cities alongside the Maritime Silk Road well aligned, the gaps between the economies of the cities in general are minor. Consequently, inter-industry productivity spillovers in this area are expected to accrue in line with the development strategy.
