The first year of the “15th Five-Year Plan” is also a critical period for Shandong to advance the building of a modern and strong province. In the face of the new situation, Shandong has clearly proposed to use reform to break through bottlenecks and opening up to pioneer new ground, releasing social vitality by removing institutional and mechanistic barriers, and gaining strategic initiative by creating new growth drivers for development.

How to strive to take the lead in further comprehensively deepening reform and promoting high-level opening up has become a topic of in-depth reflection for people from all walks of life. This means that Shandong needs to focus on key areas and crucial links, dare to tackle tough issues, and, through market-oriented reforms, stimulate the endogenous driving force of various market entities; at the same time, it must benchmark itself against high-standard international economic and trade rules, steadily expand institutional opening up, and build a new hub for opening up to the outside world.

Making good use of the “crucial move” of reform and opening up is intended to fundamentally optimize the development environment, remove obstacles to high-quality development, and inject a continuous stream of momentum. This is not only an inevitable choice to address current challenges, but also the fundamental path for Shandong to seize the initiative and shape new advantages in future regional competition and the drive for modernization.
